Le devoir des bons Juges.
LXXXVIII.
De marbre une colonne en un tumbeau dressee,
Que tu vois d’une aiguiere
& d’un seau entouree,
D’un juge entier & droit le sepulcre revele,
Qui les mains pures eut, & l’ame nette & belle.
Commentaires.
Le seau & l’esguiere sont le
vray symbole d’un
juge entier & droiturier: car, estans mises sur son se-
pulcre, elles tesmoignent
son equité & innocence en
l’administration de la justice. Quand ces vertus sont
en un juge, elles le rendent fort recommandable: mais
si elles n’y sont, il ne le faut plus tenir pour juge, mais
pour un impie & cruel bourreau. Un Juge se doit per-
petuellement souvenir, qu’il a Dieu pour juge, de
l’oeil duquel il ne se peut cacher. Le lavement des
mains estoit autresfois un ouvert tesmoignage d’in-
nocence. On dit que ceux ont les mains pures, qui
ont passé leur vie en toute integrité & droiture.

EMBLEMA XI.
Abstinentia.
Integrity
Marmoreae in tumulis, una stat parte columnae
Urceus, ex alia cernere malluvium est
Ius haec forma monet dictum sine sordibus esse
Defunctum puras atque habuisse manus.
On a tomb, at one side of the marble pillar, stands a water-jug, at the other you can see a basin. This design tells us that justice was pronounced without corruption, and that the deceased kept his hands clean.

Das XI.
Abbruch.
Ein Krug gemacht auß Marmelstein
Steht wie ein Seul auff dem Eck ein
Deß Steinern Tisch, auffm andern Eck
Aber findstu ston ein Handbeck
Diß bild ermannt das gschriben Recht
Sol rein seyn und on wandel schlecht
Und deß Richters Hend sollen seyn
Von allen miet und gaben rein.
