One great mischief attending this abusive excessive consumption of words, like
that of strong Liquors, is, that when once begun, the difficulty
is so great of leaving it off— The very enormity of the evil becomes <add>[turns into]</add>
is a reason a cause of for its continuance.
The Act 2d 3d Ed.6.33 denouncing punishment upon those who
should steal one Horse one Mare or one Gelding after that of Ed. of the
6.C.12 same reign had denounced the same on persons stealing Horses Mares or
Geldings is well known [to all those who reflect upon and lament
the garrulity of the Law.]If the framers of that Act had possessed that [extent of intentions, &] less that spirit of gene salvation which we are even yet to look for, they would from the compilation of the Grammatical difficulty exemplified as it happen'd to be in that subject, have taken occasion to remove it from every other subject once for all. The gravity of a Statute manufacturer would hardly stand against his turn of Synonyms dragging at every turn after the specific appellative.
