Perspicuity (i:e: Apprehensibility, and Precision)
depends upon two things. 1 The terms
chosen and 2. the manner in which
they are arranged put together. Upon the words
and upon the
of which a sentence is composed; and upon
the construction arrangement, or manner of composing
it.
Ellipsis, not generating obscurity nor ambiguity, may be admitted:is admissible
especially if the Grammar Syntax be left entire.
Where what is expressed points to what is implied beyond—
danger of mistake Ex.gr 17 G 2.c.5.§ 32 but one which leaves the
Syntax compleat, is better than one mutilates it
...It shall...be lawful for 2 Justices ( of which the Justice
who committed such offender to be one) to discharge the said
Offender....
Here is an Ellipsis of the verb [is] before to be
---page break---
This may pass; since nothing can be inserted in order to fillcompleat
up the Syntax with any appearance of conformity to the rest
of sentence can give it a sense different from that which was is
intended: but the Syntax is incompleat.
If it had been... 2 Justices (the Justice who committed
such Offender being one) here also would have
been an Ellipsis viz of the words ["of them"] after the word
"one" but the Syntaxsense would have been compleat. thise
would have been a compleat sense without them.[IX. B. It
would not, for the Adjective one must have its Substantive]
The mind would not however rest at that sense which the
sentence has exclusive of the words omitted: because that
Sentence, tho' passable in point of Grammar, would be
nugatory in point of Logic.
The proposition
where it filled up,
would have stood
thus &c.

If of 2 Terms Wither Substantive
Adjectives Verbs Particles
or ( Qu.) Adverbs
I holds good in respect
to all. placed near together,the one is meant to be
understood absolutely, the other qualified by some adjunct
of Specification or as it may otherwise
be stiled, by
some determinative. in order to prevent its appearing doubtful
whether such Adjunct is to be applied to both or one only,
but that one, be postponed to such Adjunct in the order of
Constructions Example
By 32.G.2.28.§ 3. "All and every Sheriff Under—
Sheriff&Bailiff of any Liberty, and also the respective Secondaries
& Clerk-Sitters in the respective Compters in London"
shall do as is therein required. Now is the phrase "[in London ]"
an Adjunct of Specification, qualifying, to wit narrowing
the import of the terms Secondaries & Clerk-Sitter for it is
not the Secondaries nor the Clerk-Sitters in the Compters in
any other place, but in London only that are here meant
But this Adjunct is not meant to apply to Sheriffs Under-Sheriffs,
nor Bailiffs of Liberties:for it is not Sheriffs &c.
of Liberties in London only that are meant, but all Sheriffs
everywhere
---page break---
Now let us then concieve these words [of any Liberty ] to have
been omitted: it now appears doubtful upon the construction
of the sentence whither the Adjunct of Specification [in London]
is not to be applied to Sheriffs &c. as well as to Secondaries
and Clerk-Sitters of Compters - But this ambiguity is effectually
cared by interposing it between the persons of the of description
& those of the 2d to which 2d it is meant to be confined
after the conjunction that unites them. That is by arranging
the sentence in this manner. All and every Sheriff Under-Sheriff
& Bailiff, & in London the respective Secondaries
& Clerk-Sitters in the respective Compters "......
