these_o two_o very_a learned_a and_o good_a bishop_n but_o in_o defence_n of_o what_o the_o latter_a teach_v these_o thing_n be_v plain_a and_o obvious_a that_o lord_n who_o punish_v his_o vassal_n without_o a_o cause_n or_o more_o than_o the_o cause_n offer_v do_v deserve_v be_v unjust_a that_o lord_n who_o exact_v the_o utmost_a penalty_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o just_a law_n be_v just_a but_o he_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o exact_v it_o because_o than_o he_o be_v oblige_v not_o to_o be_v merciful_a this_o argument_n be_v close_o plain_a and_o must_v conclude_v the_o dispute_n unless_o justice_n according_a to_o the_o dream_n of_o john_n calvin_n be_v one_o thing_n with_o respect_n to_o man_n and_o another_o with_o respect_n to_o god_n i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o word_n justice_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v with_o respect_n to_o god_n or_o man._n we_o read_v of_o no_o other_o measure_n of_o justice_n in_o scripture_n than_o never_o punish_v beyond_o demerit_n the_o punisher_n if_o a_o supreme_a always_o have_v the_o power_n not_o to_o punish_v so_o far_o indeed_o inferior_a officer_n be_v absolute_o bind_v to_o exact_v the_o utmost_a penalty_n of_o the_o law_n transgress_v unless_o their_o commission_n leave_v some_o case_n to_o their_o discretion_n but_o the_o supreme_a governor_n of_o a_o nation_n and_o the_o great_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n may_v if_o they_o please_v forgive_v much_o and_o be_v never_o the_o less_o just_a they_o may_v so_o for_o all_o that_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n they_o may_v so_o for_o all_o that_o we_o can_v discover_v by_o reason_n a_o constant_a unrelenting_a execution_n of_o justice_n leave_v no_o room_n for_o mercy_n but_o wise_a and_o gracious_a act_n of_o mercy_n in_o proper_a time_n and_o place_n dispense_v be_v no_o blemish_n at_o all_o to_o justice_n but_o if_o we_o suppose_v god_n to_o be_v just_a by_o other_o measure_n of_o justice_n than_o scripture_n and_o reason_n acquaint_v we_o with_o we_o misspend_v our_o time_n in_o talk_v about_o his_o justice_n again_o if_o we_o suppose_v justice_n with_o respect_n to_o god_n to_o be_v something_o which_o we_o can_v understand_v or_o rather_o something_o contrary_a to_o that_o which_o we_o do_v understand_v and_o that_o it_o always_o require_v full_a satisfaction_n for_o sin_n the_o consequence_n of_o this_o will_v be_v that_o god_n can_v forgive_v no_o sin_n so_o that_o what_o the_o libeler_n dispute_v for_o be_v the_o eternal_a misery_n of_o mankind_n let_v he_o dispute_v for_o his_o own_o soul_n as_o be_v unworthy_a of_o the_o mercy_n which_o he_o blasphemous_o reproach_n but_o it_o be_v a_o odd_a opinion_n for_o one_o that_o call_v himself_o a_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n that_o
