The Lawyers, of whose Art the Basis Was raising Feuds and splitting Cases, [60] Opposed all Registers, that Cheats Might make more Work with dipt Estates; As were't unlawful, that one's own, Without a Law-Suit, should be known. They kept off Hearings wilfully, [65] To finger the retaining Fee; And to defend a wicked Cause, Examin'd and survey'd the Laws; As Burglars Shops and Houses do; To find out where they'd best break through.
