PROCEDURE Evidence

The execution of a Law depends upon the
union conjunction of these 2 things in the same person or in the same set of persons necessary to minister to the it's execution of a Law
Interest Motive and Power: [meaning by Interest, not
merely a pecuniary one, but any thing principle whether
referable to the concupiscible appetite or the irascible
that can be depended upon for it's acting
as a motive upon men in their individual . the majority of mankind.]
[We may often observe great pains taken by the
Statute Law to create one to bring about the case
wherein the Common Law has taken away the
other]

At the same time that When therefore we observe <add>If this be true</add> the Statute Law takes while it gives one,

in the breasts of those who formed it, whether,
(as men have no surer mode of judging of the sentiments
of others more obvious of than by analogy to their own, And even here to the case where the gratification of that appetite is either near or certain ) from the habit
of having here uppermost, and anger at command,
it is not my present business to enquire: this at
least will be granted, that any no means of uniting promoting the
union between the 2 desiderata postulations beforementioned ought ever to be omitted, that is consistent with
the reigning system principles received that is received, ought ever to be omitted.

Accordingly, when as a help to its execution
the Law gives a new Interest where more than there was
before, it may at least contrive not to take drive
away a power not accompanied by a defect of power out as it were by means of that very interest which of that power which together gives

To come more to particulars, a Law which
gives promises a man a reward for in order that he
may have an interest, that in some cases he might there may have an interest where there would be none otherwise should at least permit him to
wave the reward that when he has an interest , [+] in the large sense of the word he may always have

A Law of that kind which the law regards not deems not no destruction exclusion of competency which gives a reward to an informer
in order to engage 2 men by the ties of interest in to

to waive it when there is but one man to
perform both. & that one man already engaged

in a more satisfactory manner by the consideration considering
that it is the concupiscible only & not the
irascible that has any external evidence index <add>symptom proof manifestation</add> of it's existence & measure of it's degree, I mean viz: the Sum
