those_o sage_n which_o be_v in_o commission_n they_o be_v these_o truth_n i_o that_o the_o primary_n source_n and_o original_a of_o judgement_n be_v god_n though_o judge_n be_v choose_v commission_v by_o and_o must_v give_v their_o account_n to_o the_o king_n yet_o they_o judge_v not_o for_o man_n but_o for_o the_o lord_n truth_n two_o that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o secondary_a spring_n and_o fountain_n of_o justice_n next_o and_o immediate_o under_o god_n judgement_n flow_v from_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o king_n in_o the_o text_n give_v his_o command_n to_o the_o judge_n in_o these_o word_n he_o say_v to_o the_o judge_n truth_n iii_o that_o it_o be_v high_o incumbent_a upon_o all_o judge_n to_o be_v most_o critical_o cautious_a and_o careful_a both_o god_n and_o the_o king_n say_v to_o they_o take_v heed_n what_o you_o do_v truth_n iv_o that_o all_o they_o who_o be_v due_o advance_v to_o such_o eminent_a place_n of_o trust_n and_o dignity_n have_v the_o great_a motive_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o that_o because_o god_n be_v with_o they_o in_o the_o judgement_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o viz._n that_o the_o primary_n source_n and_o original_a of_o truth_n i_o judgement_n be_v god_n though_o judge_n be_v choose_v commission_v by_o and_o must_v give_v their_o account_n to_o the_o king_n yet_o they_o judge_v not_o for_o man_n but_o for_o god_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o judge_n among_o themselves_o in_o the_o day_n of_o

lord_n as_o to_o exclude_v he_o from_o his_o interest_n in_o those_o that_o be_v civil_a but_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o the_o king_n speak_v to_o both_o sort_n of_o judge_n when_o
