Observations
This longsection of the original reflecing three perfectly
distinguishable transactions, I have thought it proper,
in casement of the reader's attention, to break into
as many Articles.

These words I have inserted as necessary to compleat
whatI imagine to be the intention. To reason indeed upon the presumption of in it
it otherwise; since, as it was but the Section before that the general term "Beasts of Draught" was subjoined to"Horses"
itcan hardly be supposed to have been omitted the verynext without a meaning. This however I cannot help
thinking to havebeen the case: I cannot suppose it to have been meant that man should be debarred (for no reason
that I can see) from using any other Beasts, precisely upon the occasion where thereis the greatest demand,
for every thing that will draw, & the least choice. They may console themselves however pretty well for this,
since by a like omission, as we shall see hereafter, they are left at liberty ( to the manifest overthrow of the Act,)
as to the number of some kinds of Beasts, where there is no need at all
