Prelude.
My aim is all along The nature of the enterprise required are to pursue as near as
may be, the leading Ideas of the original: one
part of my task was therefore to find them out:
a matter which to speak plain I have not always found so
easy.
["That the accuracy of the execution is not answerable
to the number of the words"]
Short as the proposition is itself, it cannot be expected
that the proof of it should come within
a small compass.
Whatever has a fixedcertain signification in common
speech has a certain signification in Laws language
but it is not every thing thatwhich has a certain
++ v.1 Morillet 348. signification in Law that has a certain
signification in common speech.+
+ in these collateral
disquisitions My design, or at least my expectation+ isbeing
much less too. more to put others more able into a affo
train of making [remarks] observation that may
be decisive [upon the several topics to which
as shall merit that
distinction they apply] than to make [offer] produce myself
any such observationsmyself [as shall be so.]

Whether the Law itself is ever to be relieved
from thosethe incumbrances of its of unnatural [present] garb
+ salutory which crampd it's + energies, & deforms it's
on so many
[occasions] accounts beauty, which leave it or can render it in so many instances
potent to do mischief which it they keep is impotent
to do good, remarks yet to be determined -
much is to be expectedhoped for from
should they resolve
to make it the
serious object of
their attention

the honour
which shall putarise

spirits which are
not wantingso abundant in our
age

tenet may serve
at heaven
