virtues, you, gentlemen, received your early
training virtues whose exalted office it is to
diffuse calm through civil life, and assure
Us, long before we stand in need of justice,
that whenever the day shall come, we shall
find it administered by judges who know
what Justice is. and have the necessary resO.
