abuse_n will_v be_v the_o same_o because_o the_o evil_n be_v the_o increase_n and_o over_o stocking_n the_o profession_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a be_v every_o attorney_n allow_v but_o one_o clerk_n and_o he_o to_o serve_v he_o seven_o year_n the_o number_n will_v not_o increase_v so_o prodigious_o and_o beside_o there_o will_v then_o be_v work_n for_o a_o parcel_n of_o poor_a man_n who_o make_v it_o their_o employment_n and_o live_v by_o copy_v and_o engross_a other_o person_n overplus_n business_n but_o sir_n i_o believe_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v mistake_v if_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o some_o attorney_n live_v by_o it_o and_o their_o clerk_n keep_v they_o and_o i_o think_v 150_o and_o 200_o l._n a_o piece_n which_o most_o attorney_n take_v with_o their_o clerk_n be_v a_o intolerable_a price_n not_o sir_n that_o all_o pay_n after_o that_o rate_n for_o then_o so_o many_o poor_a people_n can_v not_o afford_v to_o put_v their_o child_n to_o this_o practice_n some_o be_v take_v as_o footboy_n and_o from_o hold_v a_o stirrup_n advance_v by_o degree_n to_o this_o pitch_n and_o indeed_o it_o will_v be_v find_v upon_o examination_n that_o too_o many_o of_o the_o member_n of_o this_o profession_n be_v those_o who_o their_o parent_n intend_v shall_v live_v upon_o their_o wit_n and_o general_o set_v forward_o into_o the_o world_n with_o but_o a_o small_a beginning_n and_o portion_n of_o their_o father_n estate_n but_o this_o sir_n i_o account_v a_o abuse_n and_o it_o be_v only_o the_o scandal_n it_o now_o lie_v under_o that_o possess_v people_n with_o such_o mean_a thought_n of_o it_o and_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v concur_v with_o i_o if_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a that_o one_o of_o this_o profession_n shall_v have_v as_o good_a a_o fortune_n to_o begin_v with_o as_o be_v requisite_a in_o most_o other_o employment_n and_o therefore_o sir_n i_o humble_o think_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o if_o none_o be_v allow_v to_o put_v their_o child_n to_o this_o practice_n but_o who_o be_v able_a and_o likewise_o will_v give_v they_o enough_o to_o subsist_v without_o be_v knave_n for_o nothing_o bring_v so_o much_o scandal_n upon_o a_o profession_n as_o the_o sordidness_n and_o poverty_n of_o its_o professor_n beside_o all_o this_o sir_n the_o attorney_n be_v so_o negligent_a in_o give_v instruction_n to_o the_o clerk_n they_o take_v that_o it_o must_v be_v one_o of_o some_o ingenuity_n who_o can_v profit_v by_o their_o instruction_n they_o think_v they_o perform_v their_o duty_n if_o they_o bare_o let_v they_o see_v their_o business_n but_o never_o take_v care_n to_o inform_v their_o understanding_n and_o show_v they_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v not_o fall_v in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o practice_n how_o this_o stand_v with_o their_o conscience_n they_o know_v best_a but_o sir_n this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o private_a damage_n but_o a_o public_a evil_n it_o be_v this_o make_v so_o many_o good_a cause_n miscarry_v and_o the_o law_n be_v account_v but_o as_o a_o lottery_n wherein_o the_o knave_n may_v soon_o win_v than_o the_o honest_a man_n be_v the_o cause_n good_a or_o bad_a i_o do_v not_o intend_v this_o sir_n as_o a_o argument_n against_o youngman_n no_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v encourage_v and_o i_o have_v abundance_n more_o to_o say_v against_o the_o old_a one_o those_o who_o by_o their_o long_a and_o constant_a practice_n have_v learn_v more_o way_n to_o cheat_v than_o they_o will_v impart_v to_o their_o clerk_n and_o according_a to_o the_o proverb_n a_o young_a lawyer_n and_o a_o old_a physician_n be_v always_o best_o for_o he_o be_v not_o so_o use_v to_o cheat_v and_o therefore_o must_v stand_v upon_o his_o guard_n and_o be_v likely_a too_o to_o take_v the_o most_o care_n of_o a_o cause_n because_o he_o be_v beginning_n to_o live_v and_o must_v strive_v for_o a_o reputation_n but_o the_o old_a lazy_a attorney_n who_o have_v feather_v their_o nest_n well_o be_v loath_a to_o move_v and_o cuckoo_n like_a leave_v their_o egg_n to_o be_v hatch_v by_o other_o bird_n common_o trust_v their_o business_n with_o their_o clerk_n while_o they_o drink_v at_o the_o tavern_n and_o take_v their_o pleasure_n in_o the_o country_n by_o this_o mean_n sir_n we_o come_v to_o have_v such_o a_o increase_n of_o attorney_n and_o they_o by_o their_o trick_n and_o

which_o some_o of_o the_o worst_a sort_n of_o they_o live_v be_v by_o be_v commissioner_n in_o statute_n of_o bankrupt_a you_o may_v easy_o suppose_v sir_n that_o make_v this_o their_o profession_n

that_o your_o honour_n have_v not_o be_v often_o beseech_v for_o relief_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o i_o believe_v fear_n have_v be_v a_o active_a cause_n of_o the_o contrary_a the_o poor_a debtor_n almost_o lie_v at_o their_o mercy_n and_o dare_v not_o adventure_v so_o far_o as_o to_o seek_v redress_n from_o your_o honourable_a house_n if_o all_o be_v sensible_a of_o this_o abuse_n certain_o

among_o his_o creditor_n for_o that_o will_v be_v no_o hard_a case_n but_o eat_v up_o by_o the_o king_n commissioner_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o prove_v the_o badness_n of_o their_o title_n to_o it_o i_o have_v one_o word_n concern_v the_o oath_n which_o the_o attorney_n take_v when_o they_o be_v admit_v this_o sir_n pardon_v i_o if_o i_o call_v useless_a as_o indeed_o be_v most_o of_o the_o present_a customary_a oath_n for_o as_o it_o be_v now_o word_v there_o be_v not_o one_o attorney_n in_o a_o hundred_o that_o keep_v it_o and_o therefore_o my_o humble_a

be_v so_o obligatory_a and_o difficult_o break_v as_o if_o beside_o a_o new_a oath_n their_o duty_n be_v enforce_v by_o a_o bond_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o new_a oath_n to_o be_v so_o draw_v as_o to_o be_v more_o expressive_a such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o shall_v prepare_v this_o be_v sometime_o find_v to_o be_v more_o bind_v than_o that_o ceremony_n call_v a_o oath_n as_o some_o gentleman_n be_v please_v to_o term_v it_o which_o they_o think_v be_v of_o so_o little_a use_n that_o ten_o to_o one_o they_o forget_v it_o before_o they_o go_v to_o sleep_v shall_v i_o set_v about_o it_o sir_n not_o to_o mention_v their_o practice_n upon_o jury_n and_o witness_n i_o can_v give_v you_o so_o large_a a_o account_n of_o the_o knavery_n practise_v by_o country_n attorney_n that_o if_o you_o hear_v it_o all_o it_o will_v be_v tiresome_a to_o you_o and_o so_o out_o of_o good_a manner_n i_o will_v forbear_v to_o recite_v such_o mean_a

be_v hardly_o credible_a but_o their_o agent_n here_o in_o town_n can_v give_v a_o strange_a account_n of_o they_o and_o the_o little_a pitiful_a action_n which_o they_o commence_v and_o prosecute_v and_o how_o frequent_o they_o be_v employ_v to_o prosecute_v assault_n and_o battery_n which_o be_v general_o bring_v about_o by_o their_o forementioned_a officer_n nay_o the_o very_a officer_n of_o
