To be brief, Let honesty sit upon the tongues of the Learned in the Law, and then I am sure they will not dawb over a rotten wall, nor justifie any cause which is unjust; let peace and quietness be their study, and then though it may be a greater profit to plead Causes at the Bar, they will esteem it a greater honour to take up ( especially petty) differences among parties. To all who are Plaintiffs in any causes now depending, I wish a quiet and peaceable spirit, that they would hearken to terms of accomodation with their adversary, and not prosecute their neighbour for a trifle; I would to God all witnesses, who are to give evidence in any Cause were so overawed with godliness, that they might not dare to take Gods name in vain, and by false testimony bring upon themselves the guilt, not only of lying, but perjury. And for you of the Petty Jury, in whose hands are both the estates and lives of men, I beseech you take heed what you do, and let godliness and honesty sway in all your verdicts. |
