TURNP ACT. New. Prelude. VI
Adjective not in constant demand for Notification.
Upon taking casting a glance at on the several Sections which take
their title from a distinct particular class, we may observe
that the provisions in thesem Sections are of such a
nature as that (with exception to Trustees to whom
their office is but an occasional occupation) the a person
of belonging respectively to those classes are is under an obligation to have them
present for a constancy to his in his minds: at least to is

when he is about to exercise that branch of his occupation
which is regulated by it — It is not the same
with those of the last Section. He who means not obeys
to disobey the Law, may ease his mind if the contemplation has nothing to do with that apparatus
which is calculated only to bring down
punishment on the disobedient. Were he who It is sufficient

A Principle of distinction so thus simple & also thus obvious,
which has its so obvious a reason belonging to it for fixing it in
the memory, when once apprehended, seems to be in

As a Burthen to the memory, The obligation of Ideas indeed contained
in these generalizable polychratic axioms is incumbent
in the same a distinct manner as well upon [the persons
