It was no small joy to his heart to see that speech of God himself fulfilled upon your House, Those that honour 1me I will honour. It is fit the world should know (that it may blush and mend) to what eminency of place the mere merits of Justice Nicolls in that short race of his life raised him unto. Called he was by the Writ of Queen ELIZABETH to be Serjeant at Law: He was by King JAMES made Serjeant at Law to Prince HENRY his eldest Son: Judge of the Common Pleas, and Chancellor to our (now) gracious Sovereign, when he was Prince of Wales. But that which truly ennobles his memory, and makes me call to mind what our Fleta reporteth was the honour of Judges about King EDWARD the first's days: He had and held all these places Nec prece, nec *pretio, nec praemio. I am not afraid to english it, for I well know the truth of it: He neither begged them, nor bought them, nor gave 3so much as a New-years-gift for them.
