If a pretence were ever made of on the occasion of
such selection anything recourse were ever made to anything
that could be given as presented in the character of a principle – a publickly avowable
principle or ground of decision, it would be so much
the worse. The principle would be this – viz. that
the causes in which he thus declines pronouncing a decision
are those in which in his judgement at least,
the task of pronouncing a decision is attended with the greatest
difficulty.

But if there be one description the passing under
the review of two different judicatories a second judicatory be of any use or not a security against
of any use or value as a security against misdecision,
and if there be one description sort of cause to which more than another
stands in need of this security is necessary, it is the more difficult
cause in comparison of the less difficult cause.

The sort of cases What is the consequence? – that
the more a cause stands in need more better urgent the demand is need which the cause has of this security advantage
the surer the cause is of under the influence of this
principle the cause is of being deprived of it.
