Another /You have a right to another/ sum of money, to equal value, is due to you by Titius. But to what is it that in this instance you have a right - understand an immediate right? not to any individual determinate individual piece of money whatsoever: not to a single one of whatever pieces of money that may happen at the present time (not to speak of other times) to be in the purse of Titius. What you have a right to, as yet, and in the first instance is neither more nor less than a right to receive a certain service, to be performed in your behalf /rendered to you/ by Titius: viz: the service consisting in the conferring on you, in relation to any individual pieces of money at his choice, so that /as/ the aggregate of them be of the value in question, the same sort of compleat consummate right which you possess already in relation to the money already in your purse.

What you have a right to is to return or employ as you might /may/ the money already in your purse, such money if any, as Titius in virtue of the service which by the supposition he is bound to render due, may in discharge of such an obligation, have enabled you to put into your purse.

What you have moreover a right to is, in the event of his not having as yet rendered to you any such service, it being understood that the point of time is already passed before which he was /stood/ bound to have rendered it, a correspondent service to be rendered to you by the Judge: viz a service consisting in the taking such arrangements as shall have the effect either of compelling Titius to render to you in relation to a number of pieces of money at his choice to the value in question, the service of collation above described, or, at the ultimate expence of Titius (viz: /for example/ by the seizure and sale of goods of his to that amount) causing some other person to render to you that service.

[Footnote:] If /Let/ Titius have ever so much money in his purse, you can not without committing an offence, so much as take or attempt to take any the smallest part of it.
