刑事司法运作的逻辑是"审判"先于"犯罪"先于"刑罚"而发生，要实现由"被告人"到"犯罪者"或者"无辜者"的角色定位，这是一项理性的事业，在这个空间里面，程序是第一性的，实体是第二性的。

For which reason it was necessary, that, before we entered at all into the discussion of wrongs, we should entertain a clear and distinct notion of rights: the contemplation of what is jus being necessarily prior to what may be termed injuria , and the definition of fas precedent to that of nefas .

因为这个原因有必要，在我们正式开始讨论非正义之前，我们应当接受一种清晰和明确的权利观念：正当行为的思考有必要先于伤害行为的思考，合法的阐释有必要先于非法的阐释。

The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree,which precede flowers and fruit —— not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.

我可以说，一个英国人应该比外国人更能够理解这样的一个历史事实，即&地美士第&的发生先于任何法律概念，这是因为，在流行着的有关英国法律学性质的许多相互矛盾的理论中，其最得人心的，或者无论如何是最能影响实践的，当然是假定成案和先例先于规则、原则及差别而存在的理论。

因为假如祂是反过来说，&主生了我&，而后说&但在众山之先祂造了我&，&造&就必然先于&生&。因此，既先说了&造&，然后加上&但在众山之先祂造了我&，祂必然指&生&先于&造&。
