Sinecures
The purity of the Judges! Out of this too an argument
is made for proving the impropriety of seeking looking anywhere for relief
against denial and sale of justice. By such hands
thus pure coul would anything wrong be done? Of
hands thus pure that justice which you see and feel administered justice exactly as it is administered
has been and is the work: therefore even though
denial and sale of justice should be found be part of that work there
can be nothing wrong in it.
It is by the Judges that justice has been sold denied
it is by Judges that justice has been sold denied: it is to
their profit that where sold it has been sold it is
to their profit that when wherever the price put upon it has been
worked up to a denial it has been denied. I speak
of what has been done, and I speak of what has continued to be done for ages:
for howsoever it was once, truth when spoken of the a
dead man has not been a libel, even though it be truth and not falshood, though when being
he were a Judge.
The purity of the Judges! and of this purity
what is the proof in what does it consist? In not
selling justice? in not taking money for denial of justice?
Oh no: for in all that and ever so much more that there is nothing that is impure,
for there is nothing that is not according to practice law,
there is nothing in it that is not according to law; for there is nothing in it that is not
according to the practice of those whose in whom practice is itself
the law.
