Abstinentia.

Integrity

Emblema xxxi.

A water basin and a jug on a tomb
[Click on image to enlarge]

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.

PRoponit cenotaphio iudicis aequissimi duo
symbola, urceum & malluvium, quibus in iure
dicundo summa integritas, & abstinentia designa-
tur à muneribus capiundis. Caeterùm manuum a-
bluendarum gestus olim fuit innocentiae aperta
quaedam demostratio [=demonstratio] : quod ex sacris & externis
auctoribus cognosci potest.

S’abstenir de prendre presens.

D’Un cousté du tombeau est une aiguiere mise,
De l’autre[1] est un bassin: qui sert d’une devise,
Pour un juge defunct, agreable & adroit,
Qui eut nettes les mains, faisant justice & droict.

SUr le tombeau d’un tresbon juge il met
deux marques, assavoir une aiguiere, &
un lavemain ou bassin: par lesquelles est si-
gnifiee l’integrité du personnage fort gran-
de, & qu’il s’est abstenu de prendre dons &
presens. Au reste la coustume de laver les
mains fut anciennement usitee pour prote-
station d’innocence: comme il se peut veoir
par les autheurs sacrez & profanes.

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.
