5. That, in so far as the profit to the lawyer consists of
so much expence to the suitor, converted into that shape
whether the whole of any given mass or only a part of it be thus
convertible, the expence to the suitor be in each instance made
as great as possible: and this whether the whole of any given
mass of expence, is only the whole be or be not, so as may a part of it be thus convertible.

6. That in so far as vexation in any shape whether to the suitors or others
be productive of expence or inseparably attended connected with it, that expense being
convertible, in whole or in part into profit as above, the quantity
of vexation be in each instance made as great as possible.

7. That in so far as delay is productive of profitable expence
as above described or inseparably attended connected with it, the
quantity of delay be in each instance made as great as possible.

8. That in all instances every instance in which misdecision would
not be productive of any greater degree of professional lawyers or official
profit than right decision, the right decision as far as it is known which that is be the course adopted
in preference: at least so far as the public itself understands
which is the right course: because by that approbation and acquiescence of the course, the public
upon whose approbation temper humour the reputation of the lawyer man of law depends, and
by whose acquiescence his power is constituted, is most likely
to be secured obtained conciliated: – always understood that the particular labour of finding
out this best course be not in any each instance so great, as to preponderate when set
on the scale against this general advantage.
