(5) Conclusion
humour is at the same time put in a train is resolved, something
by which a service of the same tendency shall be rendered,
though upon a smaller scale, of course as small as
possible, and, that the original source from whence it really
flows may be as much as possible kept out of sight
and observation, rendered in appearance as unlike as it is found possible
to render it, to the measure plan originally brought forward
by the impertinent importunate and adverse hand.
In one entire and unbroken mass abuse so long as it
can be defended, is of course defended: yet under the issue pressure of continually
though slowly operating necessity, inch by inch it is in process
of time abandoned. In him though not by him alone it is worn
away as the stone is by the drip.
When in a single-seated, and to appearance
sufficiently arbitrary judicatory, Caesar was sitting
in judgment over Legarius, considering the matter in the abstract conviction would have been considerably
more agreeable than an acquittal to the writer and
convenience and therefore of course to the wishes of the Judge.
All things considered, circumstances however the cases case found to be of the number
of those cases in which prudence prescribed the sacrifice
of momentary inclination to lasting interest, and use
notwithstanding a power in appointment absolute acquittal, which the Judge had no better a stomach
for pronouncing them Pistol had for the his luck swallowing of
the his luck was the result.
[+] abstraction made
of what might be
thought and felt and
said without doors.

Disliking the proposed
remedies
the Board may
be induced to adopt
them notwithstanding
as Caesar was to
acquitt Ligarius
Many a man who has as to common with Cicero
with Ligarius's Counsel in that cause has as little else
in f common as the man can have with another,
occupies has thus much in common with him as consists in the occupying
a sinister situation, rowing against wind and
tide, struggling against incurablyadverse propositions pre-established
in the bosoms of before to as well as against which he
pleads sues.
