He
thought
his
ears
,
being
used
to
such
abominable
words
,
might
,
by
degrees
,
admit
them
with
less
detestation
:
that
although
he
hated
the
Yahoos
of
this
country
,
yet
he
no
more
blamed
them
for
their
odious
qualities
,
than
he
did
a
gnnayh
(
(
a
bird
of
prey
)
)
for
its
cruelty
,
or
a
sharp
stone
for
cutting
his
hoof
.
But
when
a
creature
pretending
to
reason
could
be
capable
of
such
enormities
,
he
dreaded
lest
the
corruption
of
that
faculty
might
be
worse
than
brutality
itself
.
He
seemed
therefore
confident
,
that
,
instead
of
reason
we
were
only
possessed
of
some
quality
fitted
to
increase
our
natural
vices
;
as
the
reflection
from
a
troubled
stream
returns
the
image
of
an
ill
shapen
body
,
not
only
larger
but
more
distorted
.
"
He
added
,
"
that
he
had
heard
too
much
upon
the
subject
of
war
,
both
in
this
and
some
former
discourses
.
There
was
another
point
,
which
a
little
perplexed
him
at
present
.
I
had
informed
him
,
that
some
of
our
crew
left
their
country
on
account
of
being
ruined
by
law
;
that
I
had
already
explained
the
meaning
of
the
word
;
but
he
was
at
a
loss
how
it
should
come
to
pass
,
that
the
law
,
which
was
intended
for
every
man
's
preservation
,
should
be
any
man
's
ruin
.
Therefore
he
desired
to
be
further
satisfied
what
I
meant
by
law
,
and
the
dispensers
thereof
,
according
to
the
present
practice
in
my
own
country
;
because
he
thought
nature
and
reason
were
sufficient
guides
for
a
reasonable
animal
,
as
we
pretended
to
be
,
in
showing
us
what
he
ought
to
do
,
and
what
to
avoid
.
"
I
assured
his
honour
,
"
that
the
law
was
a
science
in
which
I
had
not
much
conversed
,
further
than
by
employing
advocates
,
in
vain
,
upon
some
injustices
that
had
been
done
me
:
however
,
I
would
give
him
all
the
satisfaction
I
was
able
.
"
I
said
,
"
there
was
a
society
of
men
among
us
,
bred
up
from
their
youth
in
the
art
of
proving
,
by
words
multiplied
for
the
purpose
,
that
white
is
black
,
and
black
is
white
,
according
as
they
are
paid
.
To
this
society
all
the
rest
of
the
people
are
slaves
.
For
example
,
if
my
neighbour
has
a
mind
to
my
cow
,
he
has
a
lawyer
to
prove
that
he
ought
to
have
my
cow
from
me
.
I
must
then
hire
another
to
defend
my
right
,
it
being
against
all
rules
of
law
that
any
man
should
be
allowed
to
speak
for
himself
.
Now
,
in
this
case
,
I
,
who
am
the
right
owner
,
lie
under
two
great
disadvantages
:
first
,
my
lawyer
,
being
practised
almost
from
his
cradle
in
defending
falsehood
,
is
quite
out
of
his
element
when
he
would
be
an
advocate
for
justice
,
which
is
an
unnatural
office
he
always
attempts
with
great
awkwardness
,
if
not
with
ill-will
.
The
second
disadvantage
is
,
that
my
lawyer
must
proceed
with
great
caution
,
or
else
he
will
be
reprimanded
by
the
judges
,
and
abhorred
by
his
brethren
,
as
one
that
would
lessen
the
practice
of
the
law
.
And
therefore
I
have
but
two
methods
to
preserve
my
cow
.
The
first
is
,
to
gain
over
my
adversary
's
lawyer
with
a
double
fee
,
who
will
then
betray
his
client
by
insinuating
that
he
hath
justice
on
his
side
.
The
second
way
is
for
my
lawyer
to
make
my
cause
appear
as
unjust
as
he
can
,
by
allowing
the
cow
to
belong
to
my
adversary
:
and
this
,
if
it
be
skilfully
done
,
will
certainly
bespeak
the
favour
of
the
bench
.
Now
your
honour
is
to
know
,
that
these
judges
are
persons
appointed
to
decide
all
controversies
of
property
,
as
well
as
for
the
trial
of
criminals
,
and
picked
out
from
the
most
dexterous
lawyers
,
who
are
grown
old
or
lazy
;
and
having
been
biassed
all
their
lives
against
truth
and
equity
,
lie
under
such
a
fatal
necessity
of
favouring
fraud
,
perjury
,
and
oppression
,
that
I
have
known
some
of
them
refuse
a
large
bribe
from
the
side
where
justice
lay
,
rather
than
injure
the
faculty
,
by
doing
any
thing
unbecoming
their
nature
or
their
office
.
"
It
is
a
maxim
among
these
lawyers
that
whatever
has
been
done
before
,
may
legally
be
done
again
:
and
therefore
they
take
special
care
to
record
all
the
decisions
formerly
made
against
common
justice
,
and
the
general
reason
of
mankind
.
These
,
under
the
name
of
precedents
,
they
produce
as
authorities
to
justify
the
most
iniquitous
opinions
;
and
the
judges
never
fail
of
directing
accordingly
.
"
In
pleading
,
they
studiously
avoid
entering
into
the
merits
of
the
cause
;
but
are
loud
,
violent
,
and
tedious
,
in
dwelling
upon
all
circumstances
which
are
not
to
the
purpose
.
For
instance
,
in
the
case
already
mentioned
;
they
never
desire
to
know
what
claim
or
title
my
adversary
has
to
my
cow
;
but
whether
the
said
cow
were
red
or
black
;
her
horns
long
or
short
;
whether
the
field
I
graze
her
in
be
round
or
square
;
whether
she
was
milked
at
home
or
abroad
;
what
diseases
she
is
subject
to
,
and
the
like
;
after
which
they
consult
precedents
,
adjourn
the
cause
from
time
to
time
,
and
in
ten
,
twenty
,
or
thirty
years
,
come
to
an
issue
.
"
It
is
likewise
to
be
observed
,
that
this
society
has
a
peculiar
cant
and
jargon
of
their
own
,
that
no
other
mortal
can
understand
,
and
wherein
all
their
laws
are
written
,
which
they
take
special
care
to
multiply
;
whereby
they
have
wholly
confounded
the
very
essence
of
truth
and
falsehood
,
of
right
and
wrong
;
so
that
it
will
take
thirty
years
to
decide
,
whether
the
field
left
me
by
my
ancestors
for
six
generations
belongs
to
me
,
or
to
a
stranger
three
hundred
miles
off
.
"
In
the
trial
of
persons
accused
for
crimes
against
the
state
,
the
method
is
much
more
short
and
commendable
:
the
judge
first
sends
to
sound
the
disposition
of
those
in
power
,
after
which
he
can
easily
hang
or
save
a
criminal
,
strictly
preserving
all
due
forms
of
law
.
