before to the Crown - Lawyers: to them he "appeals
for the truth and fidelity Talk of truth and fidelity! and appealappeal to lawyers! and to Crown-lawyers! as if they had any What have they to do with truth, or with any thing that is called fidelity except with it be fidelity to the thing to do with truth or with fidelity of any kind except to the power that pays them! of the description."
appeal in such a cause to them! to them indeed! What is truth to them?
What idea have they of fidelity except to the purse that pays them.
The hirelings, hear this,& sit stand mute: or is the notion of
hirelings to do when public good alone calls upon them
to speak and their the seal padlock which interest prejudice
has fastened put and prejudice join in fastening on their life is
not opened broken by a fee. Is truth the real object of
the honourable champion's passion? will he contend enter the
lists for her with a disinterested votary admirer? will he
condescend vouchsafe to break a bann for her with an
untested or a protagonist, not ennobled with venality, with a plebeian <add>combatant whom no venality has ennobledunennobled by </add> venality, who is
no King's lawyer nor any mans lawyer, but
the lawyer of the people whose fee of money will be paid
him if ever, upon his tomb, by a people yet
to come?
