A Law Dictionary and Glossary
I Manifold. Multiplex [et] indistinctum parit confnsionem; et questiones [quo] simpliciores eo lucidiores: that which is manifold and without distinction begets confusion; and the more simple questions are, the clearer are they. Mnltiplicata transgressione crescat poenss inflictio, I. As transgression is multiplied, the infliction of punishment should increase.
