 upon the conceptions and memories of his Majesty's good subjects
 by new laws may in the instance of this present Act be rendered in
 all other respects as light as possible, and to the end that no person 
 whom it may concern to be apprised of the ordinances thereof may
 remain ignorant of the same and thereupon be exposed to lose any
 lawful advantage much less to suffer any punishment by reason of 
such ignorance, Be it enacted that on the papers containing
 the several forms of instruments which the said Governor is required
 or shall have had occasion to prepare under this Act he
 shall cause to be inserted in the margin or otherwise sufficient abstracts
 of the several provisions of law with which the parties are by reason
 of such instruments concerned to be acquainted, so far forth at the 
 least as such provisions are included in this Act.
