If instead of selling fallacy or sound argument according
as it was bespoke I have devoted myself
sacredly and exclusively to the cause of truth.

If instead of being the abetter or the avenger of
iniquity mischief as chance directed as it happen'd (and a client fed)
or the abetter I have made the prevention of it and that upon the largest scale the great the business of
my life.

[If instead of making my profession my country, I
have made the service of my country my profession]
If instead of making myself a debtor to my profession
I have &c.

If instead of giving to my profession

I have given to my country that place in my heart
which it is too common for men who think themselves
generous to give to their profession.

If instead of turning aside to the study of management of public
interests according concerns in pursuance to the sudden calls+ + of friends of unexpected exigencies
I have made that study the exclusive object
of the unremitted attention of my whole life.
I should hope that any objections that might be
drawn from that topic would not be thought conclusive.

If I have loved and revered the law as a science
as much as I have abhorred and despised it as a
trade
