If thou hast the place of a Magistrate, deserve it by thy Justice, and dignifie it with thy Mercy: Take heed of ear∣ly Gifts; an open hand makes a blind Eye. Be not more apt to punish Vice, than to encou∣rage Virtue; be not too severe, lest thou be hated, nor too re∣miss, lest thou be slighted: So
exe∣cute Justice, that thou may'st be loved; so execute Mercy, that thou may'st be feared.
