rhapsody_n of_o case_n wherein_o the_o author_n do_v not_o so_o much_o consult_v his_o method_n as_o the_o choice_n of_o his_o matter_n for_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o his_o hand_n they_o have_v no_o coherence_n among_o themselves_o except_o such_o as_o be_v vouch_a to_o warrant_v the_o reason_n of_o other_o and_o most_o of_o they_o too_o more_o natural_o refer_v to_o their_o own_o proper_a

of_o those_o everlasting_a monument_n of_o his_o fame_n his_o report_n and_o institutes_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o honour_v this_o treatise_n so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v himself_o indebt_v to_o it_o for_o many_o of_o his_o material_n as_o will_v be_v obvious_a and_o visible_a to_o any_o man_n observation_n that_o have_v the_o least_o acquaintance_n with_o they_o you_o will_v find_v upon_o a_o

of_o a_o most_o refine_a theory_n and_o that_o the_o work_n itself_o be_v a_o systeme_n of_o the_o sublimest_n speculation_n in_o the_o law_n wherein_o there_o be_v nothing_o vulgar_a trite_a or_o

the_o general_n benefit_n this_o piece_n will_v oblige_v the_o student_n of_o the_o law_n with_o a_o more_o particular_a advantage_n for_o out_o of_o it_o they_o may_v furnish_v themselves_o not_o
