§. 2. Maxim 1. Keep the law rule of action as much in the dark as
possible

Keeping the rule of action in the dark was the fundamental capital
article of change urged by Protestants against Catholics. In the In the
governed men in question matter of religion of the reasons presented in defence justification, the force, were
if not conclusive preponderant, at least not destitute of plausibility by no means to be despised, or even of strengths.
On the ground of law, these reasons have no are altogether without application. Yet on
this ground the endeavour has been little less strenuous if at all, less strenuous and unremitted than in the other.

In the origin of States political States communities the combat of force and fraud
fills up the little time which the case of defence against distraction
from hostility without leave to spare. As the one or the other happens to
prevail, the constitution takes its tone. To Force could it but be
exerted with consent, physical force being the prerogative of the many, fraud
is the resource and refuge instrument of the few.

In the early days of Roman jurisprudence, the monopoly
of literature leisure and literature, such as leisure and literature
were in those days, threw into the hands of the Patricians, as in
manner hath been already mentioned,† † Suprà the False the monopoly of judicature. In these
days whatever other vices might have been abundant, hypocrisy
was scarcely among the number. Police had as yet scarce learnt
to signify any thing but courage to extend its signification beyond the puls of courage then spoke plainly
at least, howsoever coarsely. – Patricians. In this book this
sacred book volume, are the laws rules by which we intend to govern conduct ourselves
in disparity of your lives and fortunes. Plebicians. Good: let us
look at it them then. Patricians. No: that you shant. While the dispute was going on A Plebician
stole a copy of this precious book, published it, and for payment got well
paid for it. What was to be done? by Learned gentlemen cried down this
book, and made another, like an Admiral of modern times, who
when the enemy have captured his book of signals, he sits down with this
Secretary and makes a set of fresh ones.
