each person's observing a certain conduct, happening profit
accrues to that person, & not observing it, loss. immediate - remote
In order to know (a priori) whether a Law will be executed
or no, there is but one method way, but it
is a certain one.
Denominations Make out a list of [all the] the normal different classes
of persons who, from the first to the last, are
concerned in the execution - Carry your eye along
that list, from the individual from whom
information is to come of the offence [down] to the
officer by whose hands Punishment is to be inflicted.
If upon every person in that list it be so order'd that
a portion of clear [+]
[+] enjoyment devolves upon his performing & of &c
& of sufferance upon his not performing
that part which is competent to him- it is well -
