A Law when compleat.
A law is compleat, (that is in compleatly
expressed) when the act it prohibits- (to take
the instance of a prohibition Law) is so fully and the
punishment for it (to take the instance of

so described to have been done, no supposition
can be framed, on which, according

in question shall not take place

one continuous series uncompleated with
