faultiness_n of_o what_o follow_v which_o be_v and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o accuse_v any_o man_n but_o himself_o no_o nor_o himself_n of_o injury_n because_o to_o do_v injury_n to_o a_o man_n self_n be_v impossible_a to_o the_o first_o piece_n i_o have_v show_v that_o though_o he_o be_v author_n of_o leviathan_n power_n yet_o his_o evil_a usage_n of_o that_o power_n may_v be_v complain_v 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 necessary_a for_o the_o support_n of_o his_o health_n he_o deal_v unjust_o with_o himself_o when_o another_o foolish_o desperate_a shall_v adventure_v his_o life_n upon_o idle_a and_o frivolous_a occasion_n he_o deal_v unjust_o with_o himself_o by_o hazard_v so_o noble_a a_o creature_n upon_o so_o base_a and_o unworthy_a a_o prize_n these_o thing_n and_o multitude_n of_o more_o be_v unjust_a 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 iniquity_n but_o not_o injustice_n or_o injury_n in_o the_o proper_a signification_n i_o will_v he_o have_v expound_v the_o proper_a signification_n at_o the_o first_o i_o be_v amaze_v at_o this_o distinction_n and_o do_v doubt_v there_o be_v some_o great_a and_o excellent_a notion_n in_o it_o but_o due_o consider_v the_o word_n i_o find_v they_o be_v airy_a and_o do_v signify_v no_o more_o difference_n then_o if_o i_o have_v affirm_v mr._n hobbs_n or_o the_o writer_n of_o leviathan_n say_v this_o or_o that_o mere_o nominal_a for_o what_o be_v iniquity_n but_o unequal_a deal_n which_o 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 just_a or_o right_a and_o i_o be_o sure_a injustice_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o where_o some_o law_n direct_v this_o or_o that_o he_o do_v otherwise_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o genuine-sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o unless_o he_o have_v show_v we_o some_o more_o proper_a use_n of_o they_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v be_v force_v from_o this_o common_a acceptation_n here_o now_o i_o may_v just_o break_v off_o from_o further_a discourse_n of_o this_o business_n have_v answer_v what_o he_o object_n but_o because_o i_o will_v give_v some_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 do_v ill_o but_o i_o think_v there_o be_v now_o enough_o say_v to_o this_o i_o will_v pass_v to_o his_o five_o inference_n which_o be_v this_o chap._n ix_o sect_n i._o mr._n hobbs_n his_o five_o inference_n the_o proposition_n assert_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o inference_n weak_a and_o invalid_a five_o and_o consequent_o to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v last_o no_o man_n that_o have_v sovereign_a power_n can_v just_o be_v put_v to_o death_n or_o otherwise_o in_o any_o manner_n by_o his_o subject_n be_v punish_v this_o conclusion_n be_v most_o true_a because_o he_o be_v supreme_a 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 false_a that_o unless_o it_o shall_v be_v confute_v we_o may_v think_v so_o excellent_a a_o truth_n have_v a_o weak_a support_n his_o reason_n follow_v for_o see_v every_o subject_a be_v author_n of_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 wicked_a judge_n a_o rebellious_a general_n and_o the_o like_a as_o i_o have_v often_o say_v before_o and_o if_o the_o supreme_a shall_v urge_v to_o these_o instance_n that_o this_o judge_n or_o this_o general_n act_v implicit_o against_o the_o authority_n grant_v by_o the_o supreme_a the_o same_o answer_n may_v be_v return_v to_o he_o from_o his_o subject_n when_o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o good_a or_o peace_n so_o that_o although_o this_o conclusion_n be_v most_o necessary_a to_o the_o establishment_n of_o peace_n and_o happiness_n in_o any_o kingdom_n yet_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 he_o that_o have_v right_a to_o the_o end_n have_v not_o right_a to_o all_o the_o mean_n to_o attain_v that_o end_n but_o only_o to_o such_o medium_n as_o be_v just_a and_o legal_a he_o infer_v present_o upon_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o conclusion_n and_o because_o the_o end_n of_o this_o institution_n be_v the_o peace_n and_o defence_n of_o they_o all_o and_o whosoever_o have_v right_a to_o the_o end_n have_v right_o to_o the_o mean_n it_o belong_v of_o right_n to_o he_o whatsoever_o man_n or_o assembly_n that_o have_v the_o
