life, you he<add>the</add> may obtain a pecuniary amends
at the a price which will be mentioned taken notice of by and
by, if the lottery of the law litigation should be in
your favour . his favour. But if he will But to stop there would be bad management: you should go on without
flinching: and continue his ill usage,
be rewarded with impunity
you should pursue to your <add>him to his grave: and then
law rewards you </add>
the law rewards him you with impunity. If thus
takes your purse into its protection you have an opportunity of making your
fortune

If then you have any purpose of revenge
or avarice to answer by enforcing keeping
a man in confinement, do so: but let the
place be unhealthy, and keep him there
to his death. + + Choose rather an old man a than a young one, a sickly man than a healthy, a person the tender sex rather than the robust. Should the life of a man stand in the way of your fortune avarice or your vengeance this dose of poison or of torment operates too quick In short if you have an opportunity
of any kind in any way of making your fortune

so to do; only let his death be slow. Should

is ruined, [your own family is provided for
] for it: even then you may comfort yourself with the
having ruined your enriched, his family and enriched,
your own.
