the_o law_n be_v consider_v as_o a_o instrument_n which_o the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n use_v for_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o subject_n now_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o law_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n than_o the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n be_v subject_a to_o it_o but_o consider_v the_o law_n as_o a_o instrument_n which_o ruler_n and_o governor_n use_v in_o rule_v of_o the_o people_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o be_v not_o subject_a thereunto_o a_o blind_a man_n be_v lead_v by_o his_o servant_n simile_n simile_n now_o so_o far_o as_o his_o servant_n lead_v he_o he_o be_v not_o

one_o for_o magistrate_n to_o make_v no_o law_n and_o to_o execute_v no_o law_n which_o be_v make_v plato_n say_v that_o a_o commonwealth_n consist_v of_o two_o thing_n viz._n reward_n and_o

chirurgeon_n cut_v off_o a_o rot_a member_n from_o the_o body_n lest_o it_o shall_v endanger_v the_o whole_a body_n so_o magistrate_n shall_v punish_v and_o take_v away_o those_o who_o by_o their_o

their_o sequent_a fault_n as_o will_v summer_n say_v unto_o the_o king_n that_o the_o murderer_n have_v slay_v one_o man_n &_o he_o two_o because_o if_o the_o king_n have_v execute_v the_o law_n

better_a that_o one_o scab_a sheep_n shall_v be_v slay_v then_o suffer_v it_o to_o infect_v the_o whole_a flock_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o magistrate_n shall_v some_o time_n not_o only_o unsheathe_v the_o sword_n but_o also_o strike_v with_o the_o sword_n because_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v too_o much_o pity_v spoil_n a_o city_n and_o 3._o it_o be_v the_o reputation_n of_o a_o city_n and_o nation_n to_o have_v the_o law_n execute_v therein_o without_o remissness_n and_o partiality_n and_o contrary_o it_o be_v a_o disgrace_n and_o scandal_n unto_o a_o

therefore_o if_o magistrate_n regard_v their_o own_o credit_n or_o the_o reputation_n of_o their_o country_n they_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o execute_v the_o law_n upon_o malefactor_n and_o

by_o encourage_v and_o reward_v the_o good_a and_o by_o punish_v the_o evil_a and_o 5._o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o the_o magistrate_n themselves_o not_o to_o administer_v justice_n in_o relieve_v
