Ye know the Laws are executed with great seve●i●y against Pick-pockets , petty thieves , and silent malefactors , who are press'd to death for hol●ing their tongues , and are taken pro confesso : But judg in your selves , Wh●t●●r are the greater sinners , those who steal for meer ●●●●ssity to supply their present wants , or such as defraud the old soldier of his Pay , & the laborer of his hire , and borrow money and not pay again but engage f●ith and promise upon it , give Debenters , Bills and Bonds for it , and establish Securities to satisfie it , and afterwards by force or fraud take it , or suffer it to be taken away again ; and yet again binde themselvs by a solemn O●th , as in the presence of God , that the Securities given shall remain firm and good , and not be made void or invalid upon any pretence whatsoever ▪ and afterwards neither regard debts nor debtors , but suffer many of them to perish , while justice is bought and sold , and cometh by a drop at a time , and doth not run down as it ought like a mighty stream : And by swearing and lying , and killing and stealing , and committing adultery , men break out , and blood toucheth blood . Such p●actices ●s these disq●iet the Land , create combust●o●s , bring confusions , and procure work for a sort of Villain 〈◊〉 Catchpoles , and employ a company of lascivio●● ▪ Lubbers , I mean the lying Lawyers , whose h●ads are full of mischief , and their pens dipt in gall and wormwood ▪ their tongues are as sharp arrows , their teeth as swords and spears , and their throats open 〈…〉 ●●vour and swallow up the poor and needy fro● 〈…〉 : These are like a sweeping 〈…〉 leaving them a shilling to be a shield of de●ence ▪ 〈…〉 in their pocket , to encou●●●r with 〈…〉 Hunger : and so the poor mens noses are h●ld ●o ●●e Grindstone , and their faces ground away , as may be seen by their countenances : and the Poor's poverty comes to be their absolute destruction , and swarms of beggers and thieves ingendered in the Common wealth by Pecunia 〈…〉 s ▪ and the poor mans Suit cannot go on currantly w●●●out money , though his Cause be never so just , but 〈…〉 e a Lawyer may easily be got to speak twenty 〈◊〉 ●●●●●st him for 10 s. and cloak his lyes with pret●●●●s of Clyents informations .
