Purs. Tit. V. Ch. VII
§ 3 Principles to prosecution. Every man may be sure of himself:
no man can be absolutely certain of another. You
prosecuto Upon the strength of my evidence evidence that is to come from me you
venture on a prosecution: what follows? that your
fortune and your character are so far at
my mercy: at the mercy of one with whom perhaps
you have no acquaintance. What can be more
discouraging? How many prosecutions, when a rule
of this sort obtains must have been nipped in
the bud in how many instances must guilt
have triumphed revelled in impunity! How different
the case where you the witness are received to prosecute:
you know what it is you know: on yourself
you can may depend: of yourself you may be sure.
