ABSTRACT
Juriste was more pleased with the office to which the Emperor called him than sound in knowledge of his own nature. He thanked his master for the proof of his favour and said that he was always animated by the desire to serve Justice, but that he would preserve her the more ardently henceforth, since the Emperor's words were like a torch which had fired him to it all the more keenly; that he would bend his mind to succeed in his new charge so that his master could not but praise him. The Emperor rejoiced at Juriste's words and said to him. 'Truly you will give me cause only to praise you if your deeds prove as good as your words.' And having the letters patent given to him which were already made out, he sent him on his way.
