hardship
Meantime by those by whom whose person the religion has been then established
or continued to be thus supported an assurance a a sort of certificate has been given
and continues to be given that in their eyes the system there supported
is false. The side on which the witness with the stone in his
shoe is the has been hired is the right side: but that subornation
of perjury is not the less an act by which the hiring has been
performed: suborners of perjury the actors and by of such subornation
the natural tendency and natural effect is to cause those to whom
the side though by the supposition the right one to be regarded
in the eyes of those who to whom the fact of hiring is known, the
wrong one. In vain would the hirers exclaim – Our cause side is
the right one – we have it to be so, and it is for the fear that the Judge should
be deceived into the contrary opinion is the cause why we take this
method to keep him . The name in every would be
of this were this allowed, the wrong side of it had money enough on so
side would in every case be the gainers.
Of no direct testimony assurance given by the hiring individual and the
probative force be rendered given of his belief be rendered so great as

discourse to be made of it, and the belief of it when discovered, entertained.
In no case when if it be a man's desire that a true and correct map
of a country should be made and purchased in no case does he
throw without having ever seen the country draw a map of his own
and say if copy and publish this map you shall have so much money,
copy make and publish a map of the country from a survey of it made
by yourself, you shall have nothing.
