Measures of Unity.

This Act has Unity of Subject -
But It has not Unity of Object+= meaning thereby the person to whom the mandates or Prohibitions are x: x Language has unhappily confounded the import of the word Object with that of End or Design. - for it's objects as
we have seen come as we have seen under 27 several Denominations.

not only be one, but exhausted all comprehensive. — And this
is not so — For it includes no Provisions against
WIllfull Fire-raising — Indeed these to be all-comprehensive adequate to the
as to the Design must x upon
other Subject as Mines & Vessels.
