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

you_o may_v be_v sure_a since_o thereby_o she_o live_v in_o such_o continual_a penury_n and_o poverty_n as_o she_o do_v subsolanus_n but_o yet_o at_o the_o leastwise_o by_o you_o own_o confession_n we_o may_v say_v that_o justice_n though_o she_o be_v never_o so_o poor_a yet_o have_v she_o always_o her_o place_n among_o the_o virtue_n aqvilonius_n we_o may_v so_o subsolanus_n and_o that_o injustice_n consequent_o though_o she_o be_v never_o so_o rich_a be_v always_o to_o be_v place_v among_o the_o vice_n aqvilonius_n by_o rigour_n of_o speech_n you_o may_v say_v your_o pleasure_n thereof_o though_o on_o the_o other_o side_n for_o the_o profit_n that_o rise_v thereby_o more_o gentle_a and_o more_o moderate_a word_n may_v be_v use_v of_o it_o subsolanus_n then_o you_o suppose_v i_o perceive_v that_o for_o these_o former_a respect_n it_o be_v somewhat_o too_o rigorous_a a_o kind_n of_o speak_v to_o say_v that_o injustice_n be_v a_o vicious_a thing_n aqvilonius_n i_o do_v so_o indeed_o as_o also_o because_o whereas_o no_o man_n know_v well_o how_o to_o be_v able_a to_o live_v in_o the_o world_n except_o he_o have_v fortune_n favour_n injustice_n of_o itself_o alone_o and_o without_o any_o other_o help_n at_o all_o can_v get_v he_o the_o good_n of_o fortune_n the_o which_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o will_v credit_v he_o who_o comment_v upon_o the_o seven_o book_n of_o the_o politic_n the_o first_o chapter_n justice_n of_o herself_o be_v not_o able_a so_o to_o do_v subsolanus_n so_o as_o justice_n and_o virtue_n you_o will_v have_v they_o to_o give_v place_n unto_o riches_n and_o fortune_n aqvilonius_n it_o be_v not_o my_o censure_n alone_o for_o horace_n himself_o satyr_n 3._o lib._n 2._o be_v also_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n where_o he_o say_v

perhaps_o to_o be_v such_o but_o not_o so_o indeed_o aqvilonius_n do_v you_o call_v it_o but_o a_o seem_a so_o to_o be_v when_o as_o in_o flat_a term_n the_o say_a author_n say_v further_a in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o unto_o riches_n non_fw-la solùm_fw-la virtus_fw-la sed_fw-la etiam_fw-la fama_fw-la decus_fw-la divina_fw-la humanaque_fw-la parent_n subsolanus_n he_o speak_v it_o as_o a_o satirical_a poet_n only_o to_o carp_v at_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o time_n as_o by_o these_o other_o his_o word_n elsewhere_o we_o may_v well_o discover_v in_o pretio_fw-la pretium_fw-la nunc_fw-la est_fw-la and_o not_o that_o he_o think_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o indeed_o but_o that_o the_o corruption_n of_o manner_n have_v then_o bring_v it_o so_o to_o pass_v the_o which_o corruption_n of_o manner_n be_v wont_v special_o to_o reign_v among_o the_o follower_n of_o riches_n as_o we_o may_v gather_v by_o lactantius_n de_fw-la falsa_fw-la relig._n where_o he_o say_v voluntas_fw-la fingendi_fw-la &_o mentiendi_fw-la est_fw-la eorum_fw-la qui_fw-la opes_fw-la appetunt_fw-la &_o lucra_fw-la desiderant_fw-la and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_o for_o you_o to_o give_v ear_n unto_o

touch_v our_o mention_a disprofitable_a profit_n belike_o you_o mean_v to_o reduce_v also_o the_o same_o unto_o such_o a_o jest_a reckon_n as_o subsolanus_n a_o little_a before_o bring_v the_o like_a

no_o money_n or_o else_o but_o little_a money_n can_v be_v able_a to_o increase_v the_o same_o aqvilonius_n good_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o favonius_n then_o the_o disprofit_v of_o the_o one_o must_v precede_v the_o profit_n of_o the_o other_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n if_o you_o take_v away_o the_o disprofit_v you_o take_v away_o the_o profit_n as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o aqvilonius_n you_o deceive_v yourself_o herein_o and_o that_o not_o a_o little_a since_o it_o be_v not_o like_a that_o he_o who_o have_v wealth_n will_v so_o diminish_v himself_o of_o his_o

unthought_a of_o which_o yet_o remain_v behind_o may_v not_o that_o which_o a_o rich_a man_n do_v take_v to_o be_v for_o his_o profit_n fall_v out_o otherwise_o to_o be_v disprofitable_a unto_o he_o aqvilonius_n you_o may_v do_v well_o to_o explain_v yourself_o somewhat_o better_a and_o then_o will_v i_o answer_v you_o favonius_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o rich_a usurer_n shall_v have_v need_n of_o a_o poor_a broker_n service_n to_o help_v to_o put_v out_o his_o money_n to_o usury_n give_v he_o for_o every_o hundred_o so_o put_v forth_o a_o competent_a reward_n and_o that_o the_o broker_n

but_o that_o sometime_o such_o casualtye_n will_v happen_v favonius_n but_o what_o if_o the_o broker_n himself_o shall_v loose_v hereby_o the_o credit_n of_o his_o office_n for_o ever_o after_o will_v not_o this_o be_v likewise_o unto_o he_o a_o great_a disprofit_v than_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o bribe_n receive_v for_o do_v that_o treachery_n aqvilonius_n a_o bird_n in_o the_o hand_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o be_v better_a than_o two_o in_o the_o bush_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o such_o a_o poor_a man_n to_o leave_v the_o certainty_n for_o the_o incertainty_n lest_o his_o poverty_n may_v whole_o oppress_v he_o while_o his_o say_a credit_n be_v yet_o but_o a_o grow_a favonius_n then_o in_o a_o poor_a man_n i_o perceive_v you_o account_v treachery_n not_o to_o be_v

account_n of_o you_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o honesty_n one_o for_o rich_a man_n &_o another_o for_o poor_a man_n aqvilonius_n you_o may_v long_o since_o have_v understand_v my_o

thereof_o that_o may_v be_v as_o well_o concern_v the_o habit_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o body_n the_o one_o to_o be_v limit_v with_o sincerity_n and_o the_o other_o with_o

of_o silent_a toleration_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o urgent_a need_n favonius_n as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o that_o i_o must_v allow_v he_o the_o name_n of_o a_o honest_a man_n but_o yet_o not_o trust_v he_o any_o more_o then_o if_o he_o be_v a_o very_a knave_n aqvilonius_n fair_a word_n i_o pray_v you_o since_o nature_n you_o know_v be_v of_o herself_o frail_a and_o this_o world_n of_o we_o more_o corrupt_a they_o ever_o according_a to_o subsolanus_n his_o assertion_n a_o little_a before_o favonius_n will_v it_o not_o then_o be_v necessary_a for_o these_o respect_n to_o seek_v to_o

either_o the_o strict_a or_o else_o the_o more_o ample_a aqvilonius_n you_o seem_v i_o think_v incline_v rather_o to_o quarrel_n then_o to_o conclude_v by_o pick_v these_o exception_n so_o

will_v now_o be_v requisite_a see_v nothing_o can_v be_v profitable_a as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o that_o be_v not_o just_a to_o add_v thereunto_o this_o other_o assertion_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v just_a which_o be_v not_o honest_a for_o that_o no_o justice_n can_v stand_v without_o honesty_n nor_o no_o honesty_n without_o justice_n nor_o no_o profit_n without_o both_o and_o therefore_o like_a as_o honesty_n in_o a_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v call_v justice_n so_o justice_n in_o a_o poor_a man_n be_v to_o be_v account_v honesty_n and_o both_o honesty_n and_o justice_n as_o well_o in_o the_o poor_a man_n as_o in_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v call_v virtue_n because_o he_o who_o be_v not_o virtuous_a can_v neither_o be_v just_a nor_o yet_o honest_a whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o lawful_a profit_n must_v first_o proceed_v from_o virtue_n as_o from_o the_o original_n of_o all_o moral_a goodness_n since_o he_o who_o be_v virtuous_a have_v always_o a_o scruple_n to_o get_v any_o thing_n indirect_o lest_o he_o

shall_v be_v urge_v to_o make_v restitution_n thereof_o again_o with_o shame_n for_o he_o who_o do_v not_o this_o deceive_v many_o other_o and_o himself_o also_o unto_o his_o own_o utter_a perdition_n in_o the_o end_n as_o shall_v appear_v further_o hereafter_o so_o that_o virtue_n justice_n honesty_n and_o lawful_a profit_n go_v always_o link_v inseparable_o together_o the_o profit_n be_v direct_v by_o justice_n and_o honesty_n and_o both_o these_o by_o virtue_n furthermore_o what_o sufficient_a excuse_n or_o pretence_n can_v there_o be_v for_o fraudulent_a deal_n when_o nature_n herself_o have_v provide_v sufficient_a and_o lawful_a mean_n for_o the_o relief_n of_o poverty_n to_o wit_n honest_a industry_n and_o frugal_a parsimony_n two_o such_o principal_a and_o also_o familiar_a
