most_o corrupt_a government_n 15._o see_v no_o law_n can_v be_v so_o perfect_a as_o not_o to_o leave_v arbitrary_a power_n to_o the_o judicatory_a that_o be_v the_o best_a constitution_n of_o a_o judicatory_a where_o arbitrary_a power_n can_v do_v the_o least_o hurt_n and_o the_o worst_a constitution_n of_o a_o judicatory_a be_v where_o arbitrary_a power_n can_v do_v the_o most_o ill_a 16._o arbitrary_a power_n in_o one_o judge_n do_v the_o most_o in_o a_o few_o judge_n do_v less_o and_o in_o a_o multitude_n of_o judge_n do_v the_o least_o hurt_n 17._o the_o ultimat_fw-la appeal_n from_o

in_o judicatory_n be_v not_o such_o as_o make_v no_o use_n of_o the_o law_n but_o such_o by_o which_o there_o be_v a_o right_a use_n to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o law_n 20._o that_o judicatory_a where_o the_o judge_n or_o judge_n be_v not_o obnoxious_a to_o partiality_n or_o private_a interest_n can_v make_v a_o wrong_a use_n of_o power_n 21._o that_o judicatory_a that_o can_v make_v a_o wrong_a
