Thus much So far as to their passion, now for their indifference.
In the narrow description of cases to which natural procedure
has been confined – where no factitious delay, vexation or expence
has place – where in which consequently lawyer's profit is not to be
found – in cases where by far the unified wisdom and profit
probity and intelligence of the Country, or of some there for fortune town peculiarly fortunate town
pure and real justice is administered – there it is that the pious zeal
and constitutional jealousy of a Blackstone is alarmed, at the
encroachments thus daily made upon the palladium of liberty,
of Blackstone, and after him, and on the strength of his authority,
of some equally pure and watchful spirit or spirits
of the same class, on one or both Houses.

In Equity powers infinitely more extensive, powers in
respect of the magnitude of the cause, and measured upon its subject matter,
plainly infinite, are exercised by a single Judge, with no other controul
than the almost inaccessible inapplicable one of the House of Lords
sole arbiter of man's fortu with the whole property of the
Country at his feet. But in Equity, there is more work
for the lawyer, abundantly more work, than Common Law
with its Trial by Jury. Yet from the pen or the lips of
what lawyer was ever complaint heard of Equity? Accordingly
it is for to this choice species of law, so pre-eminently afflictive caustic
to suitors, so preeminently soothing to lawyers their licenced plunderers, that the most
delectable denomination that the language could be made to find furnish for
it has been devoted allotted consecrated.
