When we read In reading of an Office as being executed,
provided always it be well executed, every one voice is ready
to join in chorus with Mr Wi Justice Blackstone's, and say sing Every thing
is as it should be. In strictness perhaps To A grammarian
of a scrupulous habit it might perhaps prefer the
seeing idea the seeing the more exactly in the order
of things that the duties of the office should be thus dealt
with, than that the office itself should. But seeing
how a good thing, as well as law how rare a thing
brevity is how conducive the figure of speech the service rendered to this useful quality
called ellipsis, how familiar and thence how
natural and intelligible in exemplification of this
figure is that which is given by the phrase in
execution of his office, he must be rigid beyond
the usual or proper measure of rigour, if he be to
such a degree rigid as to apply offer his veto to the use employment
of this phrase.

When for the subject of the Such being the operation,
when for the subject of it instead of the duties of an
office the office itself is taken and employed, the
error of such it really be is at the worst a very among the most
trivial one.

But when the error swells to such a magnitude
was to present in as and for the character of the subject of such
an operation, not the duties of the office – not the office
itself – but the person – the man, by whom the office
is well or ill filled – the complexion of the error assumes then
it must be , a deeper dig.
