[The knowledge of the Law respects 4
points]
There are 4 distinguishable degrees of knowledge
which a man may have respecting
a Law.
1st Whether there be any Law at all
concerning the matter in question ?n Ecquid
Lex Habut?
2. What it is that the Law has ordained
concerning the matter in question ?
Quid Lex Statuit?
3. Under What is the penalty punishment which it has
appointed for the breach of what it has so
ordained ? Qua Sub Poena ?
4. What is the course of which it has appointed
for the Qu bringing to down such punishment

appointed for the breach of them is a point
in concerning which it is in the instance of a few only ,
such as Murder perhaps , that he is in the way
of himself to form any precise opinion.++
Still less can he be in general presumed
to be acquainted with these the expedients which
the Law has set on foot for the raising up of those,
who shall accuse him who has committed any
