after_o righteousness_n be_v twofold_a viz._n either_o for_o ourselves_o or_o for_o other_o first_o the_o moral_a hunger_n after_o righteousness_n be_v when_o be_v injury_v and_o wrong_v we_o desire_v

zeal_n of_o we_o be_v extend_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o righteous_a who_o be_v unjust_o wrong_v and_o injure_v answ_n 1_o first_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o public_a man_n that_o be_v a_o magistrate_n than_o thou_o must_v avenge_v their_o cause_n and_o help_v they_o against_o their_o oppressor_n and_o punish_v their_o backbiter_n and_o slanderer_n answ_n 2_o second_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o private_a man_n then_o ne_fw-la ultra_fw-la crepidam_fw-la thou_o must_v go_v no_o further_o than_o thy_o call_n will_v warrant_v thou_o that_o be_v first_o
thou_o must_v grieve_v in_o thy_o heart_n for_o their_o wrong_n and_o oppression_n second_o thou_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v arise_v to_o defend_v they_o and_o to_o

when_o they_o be_v abuse_v or_o scandalize_v and_o by_o urge_v the_o magistrate_n with_o all_o modest_a importunity_n to_o execute_v just_a judgement_n for_o they_o upon_o their_o enemy_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o moral_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n three_o there_o be_v fame_fw-la spiritualis_fw-la a_o spiritual_a hunger_n and_o thirst_n have_v elsewhere_o to_o handle_v this_o i_o here_o
