never_o so_o detestable_a to_o his_o purity_n to_o do_v the_o least_o injustice_n to_o their_o person_n so_o our_o love_n of_o mercy_n and_o pity_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o shall_v transcend_v the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o equity_n and_o as_o our_o inclination_n to_o mercy_n prohibit_v we_o to_o condemn_v the_o innocent_a so_o our_o love_n to_o justice_n and_o

consume_v all_o that_o he_o have_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v which_o in_o truth_n i_o can_v imagine_v as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v of_o marcus_n antonius_n a_o man_n of_o that_o composition_n that_o his_o vice_n do_v equalise_v if_o not_o exceed_v his_o virtue_n and_o his_o offence_n cloud_v all_o his_o grace_n and_o obscure_v all_o his_o glory_n and_o as_o the_o save_n of_o one_o man_n life_n can_v save_v he_o from_o suffering_n that_o do_v unjust_o put_v another_o man_n to_o death_n so_o the_o rare_a virtue_n can_v justify_v the_o man_n that_o commit_v so_o many_o horrible_a condemn_v how_o a_o malefactor_n may_v be_v unjust_o condemn_v offence_n as_o his_o accuser_n conceive_v this_o man_n do_v to_o which_o it_o may_v be_v well_o reply_v that_o a_o notorious_a

the_o fault_n commit_v or_o condemn_v not_o according_a to_o the_o law_n which_o condemn_v that_o fact_n for_o though_o a_o murderer_n deserve_v death_n yet_o any_o one_o may_v not_o present_o be_v the_o death_n of_o that_o murderer_n nor_o the_o judge_n condemn_v he_o for_o robbery_n and_o though_o i_o shall_v commit_v many_o offence_n worthy_a of_o death_n yet_o if_o the_o law_n do_v not_o condemn_v i_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o die_v for_o any_o of_o they_o for_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n because_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o earl_n of_o strafford_n may_v be_v a_o evil_a man_n and_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o good_a man_n be_v worthy_a of_o death_n yet_o if_o our_o law_n make_v not_o those_o crime_n capital_a or_o if_o the_o law_n make_v they_o capital_a and_o not_o treason_n we_o ought_v not_o for_o treason_n to_o adjudge_v he_o unto_o death_n so_o in_o sum_n the_o result_n be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v just_o deserve_v death_n and_o yet_o be_v very_o unjust_o condemn_v to_o death_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n that_o
