NOTORIETY. [VOLUME.] Impromptuary x. Deliberatable
of Dem constant x occasional Demand.
Where the occasions of demand may be foreseen or are not not unforeseen. (1 As On the one hand the Security of the subject depends on the precision &of minuteness, & so far consequently
on the multiplicity of the Laws — of those very Laws on which that very security depend as well as all other points of his prosperity depends
also upon their precision On the other [hand] the efficacy of the
Laws depends upon their intelligibility apprehensibility which again depends upon their brevity [Coll
separate & collective;] to reconcile in the best manner those adversary ends is an object
as necessary as it is arduous — hence object with with a view to the attainment of it nor therefore is in any part
oeconomy of words nor even of syllables to be continued.
How much much manifest therefore then is the necessity call for disencumbering it altogether of the
parts, which {disguise discredit} it with their absurdity, as well as while they <add>as much as</add> encumber it by their bulk?
As therefore the number of Articles consistently with the former of these ends admitts
not, beyond a certain degree, of retrenchment; there remain but two methods by which
the former latter can be attempted pursued to be reconciled with it
The first is the giving of each article the utmost Brevity of which it is susceptible.
The 2d is the imposing upon each man the obligation task of knowing being acquainted with just such
number of them as concerns himself & no more to impose upon each man the obligation of knowing just so much and no more as concerns him & no more.
If that should be impracticable, the next thing to be done is the facilitating his giving him the facility
knowing them in exact proportion as is their importance to be known.
Adjective Laws not impromptuary to the person in quesn (2 Adjective provisions are those on which the indemnity of innocence principally depends:
