Procedure & Evidence

Evils[?]

Ch.│ │ Vexation

'.2. Persons

So far as it rests upon the parties, or at least that one of them that is in the right, vexation, besides being in itself /its insulated character/ an evil, is an /so/ evil in the character of a cause of other evils: viz: the evils opposite to the several ends of procedure before mentioned. In this /its prolific //derivative/ character the mischief flowing from it will be found to be much heavier /still more serious/ than any /that/ that which belongs to it considered in itself, and independently of all consequences. But in this ulterior character it will find its place under a separate head.
