Fallacies 6 Ch. 1. Generalia

Exposition

2. Of the case in which the notion of the immutability of a set of laws has been said to have been /spoken of as having/ set up by a succeeding /succeeding/ legislator an exemplification will be brought to view a little further on The explanation will require too many words /occupy too much room/ to find its place here.

3. It is to /In/ lawyercraft in the person of an individual lawyer that we must look for /may be seen/ the first exemplification of a conceit so irreconcilable to general utility /public welfare/ and common sense

Of this Statute /law/ such he assures as according to law is the force and virtue that to any [...?] future Statute from that time to the end of time should it happen to find itself in contradiction to this eternal standard /land-mark/ every such State would /will/ be void.
