[ 1165] Vnder-agents and Instruments to be looked unto, in matters of Justice.

A Clock,* 1.1 let it be of never so good mettall and making, will not strike orderly and truly, but much therein will be out of frame and fashion, if the lesser wheeles as well as the greater, keep not their due and regular motion: So in the cu∣rious Clockwork of Iustice, there will be many exorbitances (albeit the chiefe A∣gents and movers therein be never so sound in their integrity) if the under-agents and Instruments of Iustice, (as witnesses in proving the Action, Counsellors in plea∣ding and prosecuting the cause, Jury-men in sifting and censuring the Evidences and allegations) do not also take care, and make Conscience in discharge of their severall duties.
