Despairing (as with some reason they may) of a perfect
obedience they will take up with that
promise no more than to procureproduce a partial one
but such a partial one, as the event often shews
to be insufficient to answer the purposes of the Law
Whereas, as Mechanics in calculating the
effect of their Machines, always make [considerableoffer their utmost industry
employ'd in mitigating the effects of allowance abatement on the account of Inertia & others
to which their work is liable, yet fail not to make
a considerable deduction abatement on these accounts, so

engines to be persuaded, to lay their account that many more obstacles
will spring up to their execution than what they
can foresee, much more all they do foresee.

Nugatory Preamble
This Statute to Where something is to be said, the ways of saying it may come under tolerable cal-culation. But the ways of saying nothing at all are infinite.alIt may not be easy to discover & to class every
distinguishable species of nugation: this Statute will furnish us with 2.

I cannot very well understand a the reason there is to be an example why Noblemen's
& Gentlemen's carriages are to be exempted from
all these regulations because he has is a Gentleman by being "covered" when there is none for such

By means of the 2d, the eye is enabled to fastens in the instant fastens on the object in the instant
on that which it is in quest of, no longer
doomed to the hideous dread? labours of picking out
one by one the significant the words significant, from the

§ 6c
It certainly is not every Aactprovision</add<add>>purpose effect of a repealed Statute repealed
