'' 5. Channels through which the matter of corruption may find its way to the Judge.

Where things are established upon any such secure and solid footing, what Judge can do otherwise than find a foreman in Judge Blackstone? By what Judge can any doubt be entertained, but that the intricacy of our legal process will be found, when attentively considered, to be one of those troublesome but not dangerous evils, which have their root in the frame[?] of our constitution, and which therefore never be cured, without hazarding every thing that is dear to us!! what is here meant by us? Us people or us lawyers?

this not for my Book but my loose Pamphlet It has no faults, or I no faults can spy. It is all goodness, or all blindness I.

Thus candid could even love be in the person of a poet but candour like this is not to be expected in a lawyers' love. He allows of no such alternative. The all perfection of his must be an article in the word not of himself and squire, but every passenger that he meets on his way.
