of_o to_o the_o second_o i_o think_v a_o man_n may_v injure_v himself_o when_o a_o rich_a man_n through_o niggardliness_n shall_v deny_v his_o belly_n or_o his_o back_n those_o expense_n which_o be_v

deal_n towards_o a_o man_n self_n but_o he_o have_v a_o nice_a distinction_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o paragraph_n it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o that_o have_v sovereign_a power_n may_v commit_v

in_o he_o who_o be_v bind_v to_o deal_v equal_o in_o distribution_n or_o commutation_n be_v injustice_n and_o indeed_o injustice_n be_v nothing_o else_o and_o injury_n what_o be_v that_o but_o not_o

satisfaction_n to_o the_o reader_n in_o this_o conclusion_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a insist_v further_a and_o show_v that_o leviathan_n or_o supremes_n may_v do_v unjust_o sect_n iv_o a_o sovereign_n may_v do_v injustice_n by_o himself_o and_o by_o his_o minister_n empower_v and_o not_o punish_v by_o he_o it_o will_v be_v a_o strong_a foundation_n for_o this_o discourse_n to_o produce_v the_o action_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n god_n himself_o which_o i_o may_v do_v in_o the_o eighteen_o of_o genesis_n you_o may_v observe_v there_o that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v to_o abraham_n his_o intend_a destruction_n of_o sodom_n abraham_n after_o he_o have_v undertake_v to_o plead_v for_o they_o in_o the_o twenty_o four_o verse_n put_v the_o question_n peradventure_o there_o will_v be_v fifty_o righteous_a within_o the_o city_n will_v thou_o also_o destroy_v and_o not_o spare_v the_o city_n for_o the_o fifty_o righteous_a that_o be_v therein_o then_o in_o the_o twenty_o five_o verse_n that_o be_v far_o from_o thou_o to_o do_v after_o this_o manner_n to_o slay_v the_o righteous_a with_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v as_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v far_o from_o thou_o shall_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n do_v right_a in_o which_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o abraham_n in_o a_o bold_a manner_n do_v dare_v to_o intimate_v that_o god_n himself_o shall_v have_v do_v amiss_o not_o right_o but_o unjust_o in_o punish_v the_o righteous_a with_o the_o wicked_a and_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o say_v that_o leviathan_n can_v do_v unjust_o when_o they_o shall_v slay_v the_o righteous_a as_o the_o wicked_a which_o many_o of_o they_o have_v do_v if_o we_o consider_v all_o the_o species_n and_o several_a sort_n of_o injustice_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o may_v and_o have_v perpetrate_v they_o they_o have_v break_v the_o equity_n of_o distributive_a justice_n in_o prefer_v base_a and_o unworthy_a people_n and_o neglect_v yea_o punish_a virtuous_a man_n for_o commutative_a justice_n they_o have_v take_v against_o law_n and_o equity_n other_o man_n estate_n they_o have_v neglect_v to_o pay_v their_o due_a debt_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o unjust_a than_o those_o they_o may_v therefore_o do_v unjust_o nay_o what_o be_v more_o by_o how_o much_o their_o power_n be_v great_a by_o so_o much_o they_o be_v enable_v to_o do_v more_o injustice_n and_o i_o may_v add_v other_o man_n injustice_n may_v prove_v they_o not_o only_o out_o of_o his_o vain_a principle_n because_o all_o judge_n in_o his_o dominion_n act_n by_o his_o authority_n even_o in_o those_o cause_n where_o they_o judge_v wicked_o but_o because_o he_o be_v the_o supreme_a and_o shall_v take_v care_n for_o his_o inferior_a officer_n that_o they_o do_v their_o duty_n which_o if_o he_o know_v they_o do_v not_o and_o yet_o neglect_v to_o correct_v they_o for_o amendment_n they_o will_v prove_v his_o wickedness_n we_o know_v the_o judgement_n upon_o old_a eli_n who_o be_v a_o virtuous_a and_o good_a man_n in_o himself_o and_o the_o leviathan_n of_o that_o nation_n then_o yet_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o he_o for_o not_o use_v severe_a justice_n to_o his_o son_n when_o he_o know_v their_o fault_n as_o you_o may_v observe_v in_o 1_o sam._n 2.27_o so_o that_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o may_v do_v injustice_n more_o than_o other_o and_o indeed_o if_o he_o can_v be_v unjust_a neither_o can_v he_o be_v just_a for_o contrary_n be_v belong_v to_o the_o same_o subject_n he_o who_o can_v be_v vicious_a can_v be_v virtuous_a and_o contrary_a act_n in_o any_o man_n will_v by_o degree_n eat_v out_o any_o vice_n or_o virtue_n nor_o can_v man_n call_v it_o virtue_n in_o any_o who_o can_v

and_o to_o put_v to_o death_n or_o punish_v be_v act_n only_o of_o supremacy_n but_o his_o reason_n and_o the_o only_a mean_n which_o he_o use_v to_o obtain_v this_o excellent_a conclusion_n be_v so_o

the_o action_n of_o his_o sovereign_n he_o punish_v another_o for_o the_o action_n commit_v by_o himself_o i_o have_v oft_o speak_v of_o this_o by_o this_o consequence_n a_o king_n can_v punish_v a_o

when_o it_o be_v urge_v only_o by_o such_o fallacious_a inference_n it_o make_v the_o reader_n imagine_v that_o the_o great_a and_o most_o weighty_a thing_n in_o polity_n be_v dubious_a sect_n ii_o

the_o first_o cause_n which_o work_v with_o and_o in_o we_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o man_n to_o think_v that_o god_n do_v in_o that_o concurrence_n determine_v man_n action_n to_o such_o thing_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v declare_v evil_a and_o against_o his_o will_n and_o which_o he_o will_v punish_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v too_o bold_a a_o assertion_n to_o say_v that_o man_n do_v no_o more_o or_o less_o than_o he_o be_v necessitate_v by_o god_n will_n which_o be_v to_o make_v no_o man_n a_o sinner_n for_o although_o as_o he_o speak_v god_n dispose_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o disposure_n must_v needs_o be_v to_o infinite_o good_a and_o wise_a end_n even_o the_o evil_n and_o thing_n against_o his_o rule_n of_o goodness_n yet_o his_o disposure_n order_v such_o man_n according_a to_o their_o evil_a action_n to_o suffer_v not_o make_v they_o do_v evil_a that_o they_o may_v suffer_v but_o perhaps_o he_o explain_v this_o for_o though_o man_n may_v do_v many_o thing_n which_o god_n do_v not_o command_n nor_o be_v therefore_o author_n of_o they_o nay_o i_o will_v tell_v he_o more_o man_n may_v do_v and_o many_o man_n do_v many_o thing_n not_o only_o which_o god_n have_v not_o command_v but_o which_o god_n have_v forbid_v and_o have_v command_v they_o shall_v not_o do_v and_o sure_o than_o he_o be_v less_o author_n of_o they_o but_o if_o a_o man_n do_v a_o act_n of_o advice_n or_o counsel_n of_o god_n without_o a_o command_n yet_o that_o god_n counsel_n be_v author_n of_o now_o these_o action_n which_o be_v against_o god_n command_n without_o doubt_n he_o be_v not_o author_n of_o if_o he_o be_v he_o can_v not_o just_o punish_v they_o but_o i_o will_v fain_o make_v out_o his_o sense_n which_o be_v this_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o by_o authority_n give_v by_o god_n but_o against_o it_o well_o then_o god_n authority_n be_v against_o evil_n but_o his_o power_n work_v this_o evil_a so_o he_o seem_v to_o affirm_v in_o his_o follow_a word_n yet_o they_o can_v have_v no_o passion_n nor_o appetite_n to_o any_o thing_n of_o which_o appetite_n god_n will_v be_v not_o the_o cause_n true_o indeed_o god_n be_v the_o first_o general_a cause_n but_o
