this man here speaks the truth in what he says; for i did promise to give him a sum of money if i should recover my sight: but if i continued blind, i was to give him nothing. Now he declares that i am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, thought he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.
