This prudence, which is, as the Moralists speak, the general Queen, superintendent, and guide of all other virtues, Auriga virtutum, without which there is nothing good, beautiful, fit and decent, being sanctified especially, will enable them, by comparing one thing with another, by well weighing all accidents, circumstances, appurtenances, times, persons, places, &c. to guide and manage all the several passage •f their public charges, with wisdom, equity, and impartiality. It consists principally, in three things, which are all of one rank; to consult, & deliberate well, to judge and resolve well; to conduct and execute well. It hath a chief stroke in affairs of judicature to moderate rigour with equity.
