Notoriety want of Prelud
Now but is infinite to men to which he cannot
see an no: but no end can he see to that
hearing wrapt up in a number of Books Volumes of
which he knows not the names nor so much
as the number, not one of which he may 2 open 1 during
his life. Why should he open any of them?
When the purchase of his labor may be an eronious
When that means is iste not whereby he Security, worse than the distracting ignorance
out of which it took him; when a history to rule of
he can might from what he reads, what returns its force & what has lost it, Law is paying obedience a Monarch, of whom speaking

us that we have these compilations for without them
it would be to every purpose of notoriety I speak not of the People multitude only, but
of those who do nothing else than but study it, as if
no Law was in the Land.
Tis these which take for each man what he
wants, or rather for ten or tweny men at a time of different
