Though by self-
trumpeting no proof
is given of his being
yet neither is any
conclusive proof given
in general, of his not
being a man of virtue.
Although from the pains thus taken by a man in painting to painting
himself in the colours of virtue it does not no
proof is rational course is given for regardin looking upon him as being a
, yet neither from his doing so that does it in
every case absolutely follow that he is not, a man
of virtue.

Case (mentioned for
illustration, in which
pretending to be a man
of probity, a man
can not possibly be
what he pretends to be
Judge who, in a single-
seated judicatory, his
rate of dispatch being
(say but 1/5th) below
the ordinary rate, retains
his seat notwithstanding.
One case has For illustration one case however may
be mentioned in which in so far as a man
being in a situation of conforming of public trust indulg
himself in this talk in these professions, it is not
possible that he should be what he thus pretends to be.
This is the case of a Judge, whose who his situation being
in a single seated judicatory, in which consequently
the rate of dispatch under the system of procedure being
given the role of dispatch depends singly on himself
continues in his seat after having by sufficient
length of experience learnt that the degree of dispatch
which his faculties enable him to give
falls by a certain amount below the average rate.

Considitur Manifesting itself only
in erroneous decisions,
though ever so constantly
erroneous so long as
not declared so to be
by r or in
the most perfect i
is not in with
pure probity.
False Weakness of judgment in any degree, misdecision in
any degree of frequency is not inconsistent with
probity — with the purest probity. For so it may be
that though in doing what he does he does that
which in the eyes of other men — of other men in
general and in particular of those to whom by a special
title it belongs to judge he is doing wrong: yet in his own
eyes
eyes what is not
impossible or rather
what by the supposition
is true, what he does is doing
is right.
