formal_a physician_n how_o many_o petty_a schoolmaster_n have_v mount_v to_o be_v preacher_n in_o divinity_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v doctor_n of_o that_o art_n and_o how_o many_o crafty_a scribe_n in_o under_o office_n have_v grow_v to_o be_v esteem_v for_o substantial_a lawyer_n and_o also_o of_o these_o how_o many_o have_v afterward_o become_v to_o be_v steward_n unto_o noble_a man_n of_o their_o land_n and_o so_o by_o sit_v there_o as_o judge_n to_o render_v justice_n betwixt_o party_n and_o party_n perhaps_o with_o as_o little_a law_n in_o their_o head_n as_o they_o have_v abstinence_n in_o their_o hand_n from_o take_v of_o bribe_n subsolanus_n then_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o the_o law_n at_o all_o may_v not_o only_o for_o his_o profit_n be_v a_o practise_v lawyer_n as_o you_o have_v say_v but_o may_v now_o also_o rise_v up_o to_o be_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o judge_n and_o so_o to_o know_v in_o that_o office_n how_o to_o execute_v justice_n aqvilonius_n albeit_o you_o speak_v this_o in_o derogation_n of_o that_o unskilful_a judge_n of_o i_o yet_o so_o long_o as_o he_o with_o the_o good_a like_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o other_o can_v know_v how_o to_o make_v to_o himself_o a_o sufficient_a commodity_n of_o his_o say_a profession_n what_o more_o skill_n shall_v he_o need_v to_o require_v subsolanus_n so_o that_o this_o judge_n of_o you_o if_o he_o have_v sufficient_a skill_n to_o sell_v justice_n for_o money_n which_o be_v a_o reproachful_a thing_n you_o think_v he_o for_o all_o the_o rest_n to_o be_v able_a enough_o to_o execute_v that_o office_n as_o if_o to_o know_v how_o to_o make_v his_o own_o profit_n be_v to_o know_v how_o to_o execute_v justice_n aqvilonius_n though_o you_o seem_v to_o make_v the_o execution_n of_o justice_n so_o hard_a a_o matter_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v why_o such_o a_o unlearned_a judge_n may_v not_o do_v it_o very_o well_o only_o by_o know_v how_o to_o abstain_v from_o do_v injustice_n subsolanus_n this_o be_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o learning_n scarce_o hear_v of_o before_o and_o therefore_o not_o think_v of_o by_o many_o aqvilonius_n it_o be_v not_o so_o new_a as_o you_o imagine_v for_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o socrates_n who_o say_v as_o xenophon_n report_v that_o the_o very_o abstayn_v from_o do_v injustice_n be_v justice_n itself_o subsolanus_n if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o you_o say_v that_o to_o abstain_v from_o injustice_n be_v justice_n then_o to_o abstain_v from_o not_o commit_v any_o foolish_a act_n shall_v be_v prudence_n and_o to_o abstain_v from_o not_o do_v any_o temerarious_a enterprise_n shall_v be_v fortitude_n and_o also_o to_o abstain_v from_o not_o eat_v of_o poison_n shall_v be_v temperance_n but_o virtue_n itself_o be_v otherwise_o agree_v upon_o by_o the_o philosopher_n not_o to_o consist_v at_o all_o in_o the_o leave_n of_o any_o evil_a thing_n undo_v but_o in_o the_o voluntary_a do_v of_o good_a thing_n therefore_o none_o of_o tho●e_v former_a abstinence_n in_o manner_n and_o former_a as_o they_o be_v relate_v can_v be_v true_o reckon_v for_o virtue_n as_o also_o again_o they_o can_v yet_o be_v virtue_n for_o another_o reason_n to_o wit_n because_o whatsoever_o be_v equal_o distant_a from_o pain_n and_o reward_n can_v be_v either_o vice_n or_o virtue_n such_o i_o mean_v as_o may_v be_v either_o offensive_a or_o help_v unto_o other_o for_o if_o it_o merit_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v it_o be_v no_o such_o criminal_a vice_n as_o the_o law_n take_v care_n of_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o it_o merit_v no_o reward_n it_o be_v no_o such_o eminent_a virtue_n as_o be_v have_v in_o any_o estimation_n for_o where_o do_v you_o find_v that_o any_o state_n or_o city_n do_v ever_o reward_v any_o man_n because_o he_o be_v a_o drunkard_n or_o do_v ever_o receive_v any_o one_o to_o be_v a_o citizen_n among_o they_o because_o he_o be_v a_o glutton_n or_o do_v ever_o prefer_v any_o man_n to_o be_v a_o arbitrator_n in_o controversy_n because_o he_o be_v a_o sluggard_n but_o to_o the_o end_n this_o may_v yet_o appear_v unto_o you_o more_o plain_o i_o will_v propound_v you_o another_o example_n the_o famous_a aristid●_n of_o athens_n a_o man_n of_o great_a authority_n but_o very_o poor_a be_v send_v by_o the_o senator_n of_o that_o city_n unto_o certain_a their_o confederate_a islander_n partly_o to_o moderate_v their_o excess_n of_o payment_n because_o they_o tend_v to_o rebellion_n &_o partly_o to_o gather_v up_o certain_a old_a tribute_n this_o aristides_n have_v by_o his_o wisdom_n set_v all_o thing_n in_o go●d_a order_n among_o they_o return_v home_o again_o more_o poor_a than_o he_o go_v forth_o without_o have_v benefit_v himself_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o by_o that_o office_n as_o many_o other_o will_v have_v do_v here_o i_o say_v if_o any_o one_o shall_v have_v go_v about_o to_o have_v persuade_v the_o citizen_n of_o athen●_n that_o aristides_n do_v merit_v to_o be_v receive_v home_o with_o great_a triumph_n and_o honour_n because_o in_o execute_v the_o office_n commit_v unto_o his_o charge_n he_o have_v not_o take_v to_o sustain_v his_o poverty_n any_o unlawful_a bribe_n at_o all_o will_v not_o this_o think_v you_o have_v be_v rather_o laugh_v at_o then_o grant_v whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v say_v unto_o they_o that_o aristides_n do_v merit_v to_o be_v receive_v home_o with_o triumph_n and_o honour_n for_o as_o much_o as_o have_v wise_o moderate_v the_o excess_n of_o those_o payment_n and_o reduce_v down_o the_o old_a tribute_n unto_o the_o ability_n of_o the_o people_n who_o be_v before_o oppress_v thereby_o and_o that_o he_o have_v so_o prevent_v a_o general_a revolt_n of_o all_o those_o miscontented_a islander_n from_o the_o confederation_n of_o the_o athenian_n herein_o this_o second_o case_n i_o say_v the_o fame_n be_v thus_o propound_v the_o citizen_n can_v hardly_o have_v think_v he_o unworthy_a either_o of_o triumph_n or_o of_o some_o other_o honour_n because_o by_o his_o just_a operation_n in_o that_o action_n he_o have_v stand_v they_o in_o great_a steed_n and_o do_v they_o great_a service_n whereas_o in_o the_o same_o very_a case_n as_o it_o be_v propound_v before_o no_o such_o triumph_n or_o honour_n can_v well_o be_v grant_v he_o because_o nothing_o therein_o be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v by_o he_o worthy_a of_o the_o honour_n demand_v but_o somewhat_o only_o leave_v undo_v touch_v his_o own_o particular_a which_o merit_v no_o public_a remuneration_n and_o therefore_o for_o all_o these_o reason_n put_v together_o i_o may_v now_o conclude_v against_o your_o former_a assertion_n that_o the_o not_o do_v of_o injustice_n be_v no_o work_n of_o justice_n at_o all_o because_o justice_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o leave_n of_o any_o unjust_a thing_n undo_v but_o in_o the_o skilful_a execute_n of_o that_o which_o be_v just_a aqvilonius_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o if_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v as_o all_o the_o moral_a writer_n do_v affirm_v that_o the_o first_o part_n of_o virtue_n be_v to_o abstain_v from_o vice_n why_o then_o may_v it_o not_o be_v say_v as_o well_o that_o the_o first_o part_n of_o justice_n be_v to_o abstain_v from_o injustice_n subsolanus_n these_o be_v different_a manner_n of_o speak_v to_o say_v that_o the_o first_o part_n of_o justice_n be_v to_o abstain_v from_o injustice_n and_o to_o say_v that_o to_o abstain_v from_o injustice_n be_v justice_n for_o though_o the_o extremity_n of_o one_o contrary_a may_v be_v the_o beginning_n of_o another_o yet_o they_o can_v enter_v the_o one_o into_o the_o other_o as_o for_o example_n the_o extremity_n of_o too_o much_o liberty_n may_v be_v the_o beginning_n of_o servitude_n but_o yet_o not_o part_v of_o servitude_n for_o that_o liberty_n &_o servitude_n can_v have_v no_o affinity_n together_o no_o more_o than_o justice_n and_o injustice_n and_o therefore_o though_o a_o man_n altogether_o unlearned_a may_v leave_v sometime_o to_o do_v injustice_n yet_o can_v he_o hardly_o be_v a_o good_a justicer_n nor_o know_v how_o to_o do_v justice_n without_o special_a skill_n in_o the_o law_n so_o that_o the_o do_v of_o justice_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n than_o the_o leave_v of_o injustice_n undo_v for_o that_o this_o may_v be_v common_a unto_o every_o man_n whereas_o the_o other_o be_v but_o proper_a unto_o lawyer_n only_a aqvilonius_n so_o as_o your_o meaning_n be_v that_o justice_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o leave_v any_o unjust_a thing_n undo_v but_o in_o do_v of_o that_o which_o be_v just_a not_o according_a to_o every_o skilful_a man_n conceit_n thereof_o but_o as_o the_o law_n itself_o ordain_v the_o which_o ordain_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o justice_n do_v determine_v and_o command_v subsolanus_n you_o say_v well_o and_o
