son_n of_o parchment_n call_v solicitor_n and_o barrister_n make_v it_o their_o whole_a business_n to_o keep_v the_o shuttlecock_n in_o motion_n and_o when_o one_o hand_n be_v weary_a of_o it_o they_o play_v it_o into_o another_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o their_o religion_n to_o keep_v up_o and_o animate_v the_o difference_n among_o their_o client_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o vestal_a virgin_n in_o the_o day_n of_o yore_o to_o maintain_v the_o sacred_a fire_n it_o be_v a_o most_o surprise_v thing_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o clamour_n squal_v and_o bawl_v there_o be_v in_o the_o court_n yet_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o judge_n now_o and_o then_o take_v as_o comfortable_a a_o nap_n upon_o the_o bench_n as_o if_o he_o be_v at_o church_n and_o every_o honest_a christian_a have_v reason_n to_o pray_v that_o as_o often_o as_o a_o cause_n come_v to_o be_v hear_v the_o judge_n of_o ancient_a time_n be_v awake_a and_o the_o modern_a fast_a asleep_a however_o this_o must_v be_v say_v for_o they_o that_o they_o be_v righteous_a enough_o in_o their_o heart_n but_o the_o devil_n on_o it_o be_v that_o they_o can_v tell_v which_o way_n to_o take_v to_o instruct_v themselves_o in_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n the_o contend_v party_n be_v suspect_v by_o they_o the_o solicitor_n embroil_v they_o the_o counsellor_n deafen_v they_o the_o attorney_n importune_v they_o and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o sad_a thing_n the_o shee-sollicitor_n distract_v they_o well!_o let_v what_o will_v happen_v on_o it_o give_v i_o for_o my_o money_n the_o female_a solicitor_n a_o certain_a judge_n in_o the_o day_n of_o yore_o make_v his_o boast_n one_o day_n that_o the_o most_o charm_a woman_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v he_o forget_v that_o he_o be_v a_o judge_n very_o likely_a sir_n say_v a_o gentleman_n to_o he_o but_o i_o will_v lay_v twenty_o to_o one_o on_o nature_n side_n the_o magistrate_n be_v a_o man_n before_o he_o be_v a_o judge_n the_o first_o motion_n he_o find_v be_v for_o the_o she_o solicitor_n and_o the_o second_o be_v for_o justice._n a_o very_a beautiful_a countess_n go_v to_o a_o morose_n surly_n judge_n chamber_n to_o prepossess_v he_o in_o favour_n of_o a_o very_a unrighteous_a cause_n and_o to_o solicit_v for_o a_o colonel_n against_o a_o tradesman_n that_o sue_v he_o this_o tradesman_n happen_v that_o very_a moment_n to_o be_v in_o his_o lordship_n closet_n who_o find_v his_o cause_n to_o be_v so_o just_a and_o clear_a that_o he_o can_v not_o forbear_v to_o promise_v he_o to_o take_v care_n he_o shall_v carry_v the_o day_n the_o word_n be_v no_o soon_o out_o of_o his_o mouth_n but_o our_o charm_a countess_n appear_v in_o the_o antichamber_n the_o judge_n immediate_o run_v as_o fast_o as_o his_o gouty_a leg_n will_v give_v he_o leave_v to_o meet_v her_o ladyship_n her_o eye_n her_o air_n her_o graceful_a deportment_n the_o sound_n of_o her_o voice_n so_o many_o charm_n in_o short_a plead_v so_o powerful_o in_o her_o favour_n that_o at_o the_o first_o moment_n he_o find_v the_o man_n too_o powerful_a for_o the_o judge_n and_o he_o promise_v our_o countess_n that_o the_o colonel_n shall_v gain_v his_o cause_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o poor_a judge_n engage_v on_o both_o side_n when_o he_o come_v back_o to_o his_o closet_n he_o find_v the_o tradesman_n reduce_v to_o the_o last_o
