OF PRELECTIONS.
APHORISME. XCIII.
LEt the Lectures of Law, and the exercises of those that ad∣dresse themselves to the studies of Law, be so instituted and ordered, that all may tend rather to the laying asleepe, than the awakeing of Questions and Controversies in Law. For (as the matter is now carried) a Schoole is set up, and open amongst all, to the multiplying of Altercations and Questions in Law; as if their aime was only to make ostentation of wit. And this is an old disease, for even amongst the Ancients, it was, as it were, a glory, by Sects and Factions, to cherish rather than extinguish many questions concerning Law. Provide against this in∣convenience.
