[158]
But I make this promise to every one, if by chance any one is
brought into trouble by this law, who is not properly liable to this law, that if he will
employ me to defend him, I will defend his cause by the protection that the law affords, and
that I will prove my ease easily to these judges, or to any others who resemble them, and that
I will use every means of defence with which the law provides me, which I am now not permitted
to use, by the man with whose wishes I am bound to comply.
