H Simple in the extreme the means by which
the desideratum a work thus extensive is accomplished. With the addition
of the adverb or partical negation not a single word —
the word ought — suffices to the purpose. With this
word at the end of his pen traversing the field in all directions

all expense is saved by it. On this occasion you

When by a self neglected elected legislature of this sort
this code of moral law is laid down strong is the
propensity to severity to the multiplication of obligations:

without cause. How ill grounded soever, such however
is their assumption which the weakness of human

were not conformable — throughout conformable
to these his rules he would not thus commit himself
for upon his practise condemnation would thus be
passed by his own rules. Altogether weak is the ground
upon which this presumption stands. Many in comparison
