when_o any_o man_n meet_v with_o protection_n or_o covert_n from_o any_o unjust_a or_o misguide_v sentence_n of_o judgement_n when_o either_o his_o false_a title_n be_v confirm_v or_o his_o injury_n

may_v have_v take_v refuge_n under_o some_o more_o durable_a shelter_n you_o therefore_o whosoever_o pretend_v to_o have_v favour_n for_o any_o who_o fault_n have_v make_v they_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o law_n show_v your_o friendship_n in_o this_o help_v to_o clear_v they_o against_o the_o great_a assize_n help_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o remember_v that_o

will_v look_v upon_o yourselves_o and_o your_o assistant_n as_o the_o most_o lively_a resemblance_n that_o the_o world_n afford_v of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n come_v in_o the_o cloud_n with_o his_o holy_a angel_n be_v please_v therefore_o but_o to_o think_v this_o of_o yourselves_o and_o to_o act_v in_o contemplation_n of_o this_o resemblance_n and_o then_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o all_o you_o do_v will_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a welfare_n and_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o he_o for_o who_o you_o be_v to_o judge_n to_o who_o be_v glory_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_n

to_o judge_n in_o effect_n beside_o he_o who_o pronounce_v the_o last_o sentence_n for_o as_o in_o a_o clock_n though_o the_o hand_n only_o indicates_z the_o point_n of_o time_n yet_o the_o weight_n

the_o lord_n by_o judgement_n i_o mean_v suitable_o to_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o text_n that_o business_n which_o this_o honourable_a assembly_n be_v by_o and_o by_o proceed_v upon_o viz._n the_o administration_n of_o justice_n in_o all_o its_o act_n and_o office_n whether_o punitive_a coercive_a or_o decisive_n concern_v which_o judgement_n the_o vulgar_a opinion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o great_a civil_a affair_n the_o prime_n and_o most_o important_a business_n of_o the_o government_n and_o this_o opinion_n be_v true_a but_o it_o be_v short_a for_o my_o text_n allege_v that_o this_o judgement_n be_v moreover_o a_o religious_a affair_n and_o the_o very_a business_n of_o god_n you_o judge_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n i_o shall_v clear_v to_o you_o in_o these_o four_o position_n each_o of_o they_o bring_v in_o a_o several_a instance_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o viz._n i._o that_o the_o power_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n right_o ii_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n cause_n iii_o that_o the_o issue_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n end_n and_o iv._o that_o the_o formal_a judgement_n that_o be_v the_o sentence_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n sentence_n the_o first_o position_n be_v this_o that_o the_o power_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n right_o none_o may_v doubt_v but_o that_o every_o supreme_a magistrate_n be_v vest_v with_o a_o proper_a judicial_a power_n which_o power_n he_o may_v either_o exercise_n himself_o or_o else_o delegate_n it_o to_o any_o other_o who_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a for_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o but_o this_o i_o assert_v that_o no_o supreme_a magistrate_n can_v pretend_v to_o the_o right_n of_o this_o judicial_a power_n from_o any_o human_a title_n or_o manner_n of_o acquisition_n it_o be_v a_o prerogative_n above_o any_o station_n or_o character_n that_o one_o man_n can_v advance_v another_o unto_o and_o every_o one_o that_o have_v it_o have_v it_o

only_o the_o transcript_n of_o that_o which_o be_v divine_a and_o eternal_a and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o just_a determination_n of_o all_o such_o case_n which_o be_v the_o execute_n of_o true_a and_o righteous_a judgement_n be_v say_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v the_o direct_a and_o proper_a service_n of_o god_n and_o be_v require_v of_o magistrate_n under_o that_o

no_o person_n in_o the_o world_n but_o god_n alone_o who_o end_n may_v not_o sometime_o be_v better_o serve_v by_o injustice_n god_n end_n be_v always_o serve_v by_o justice_n and_o no_o body_n always_o so_o but_o his._n and_o hence_o spring_v the_o great_a difficulty_n of_o be_v just_o and_o the_o necessity_n of_o that_o caution_n which_o we_o find_v so_o frequent_o inculcate_v to_o magistrate_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n viz._n that_o they_o shall_v be_v strong_a courageous_a very_o courageous_a because_o it_o be_v but_o needful_a that_o he_o who_o duty_n will_v not_o permit_v he_o to_o oblige_v in_o what_o be_v unjust_a shall_v arm_v himself_o against_o the_o possible_a malevolence_n of_o many_o who_o will_v account_v themselves_o disoblige_v by_o the_o direct_a issue_n of_o justice_n he_o therefore_o that_o will_v be_v just_o must_v harden_v himself_o against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o interest_n though_o in_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v imprudent_a against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o affection_n though_o in_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v illnatured_n against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o benefit_n though_o in_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v ingrateful_a nay_o against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o vulgar_a pity_n though_o in_o that_o he_o seem_v hard-hearted_a he_o must_v render_v himself_o disengage_v from_o all_o the_o world_n and_o from_o himself_o above_o all_o because_o self_n be_v undoubted_o the_o great_a bias_n to_o human_a prevarication_n but_o these_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v difficulty_n which_o i_o think_v no_o other_o consideration_n can_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o surmount_v but_o only_o the_o respect_n of_o god_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o do_v that_o service_n which_o god_n himself_o do_v both_o require_v and_o reward_v i_o know_v indeed_o that_o to_o be_v just_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o very_a glorious_a thing_n without_o any_o far_a religious_a prospect_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v some_o spirit_n natural_o generous_a which_o though_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o they_o have_v not_o much_o of_o religion_n will_v yet_o despise_v all_o the_o temptation_n of_o interest_n and_o be_v just_a for_o the_o very_a glory_n of_o be_v so_o but_o then_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o glory_n itself_o be_v another_o bias_n and_o can_v draw_v man_n from_o their_o integrity_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o passion_n and_o so_o it_o sometime_o happen_v that_o a_o man_n that_o can_v not_o have_v be_v bribe_v with_o gold_n will_v yet_o be_v bribe_v with_o air_n that_o be_v the_o affectation_n of_o a_o popular_a fame_n a_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v intend_v in_o that_o precept_n ex._n xxiii_o 3._o where_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o countenance_v a_o poor_a man_n in_o his_o cause_n intimate_v that_o when_o a_o poor_a man_n have_v a_o bad_a cause_n though_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o temptation_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v that_o of_o vainglory_n to_o be_v unjust_a because_o a_o sentence_n give_v in_o behalf_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n be_v so_o popular_a and_o specious_a that_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v unjust_a yet_o it_o may_v gain_v a_o man_n the_o reputation_n of_o a_o more_o impartial_a justice_n and_o indeed_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o affect_v glory_n from_o any_o thing_n though_o from_o virtue_n itself_o he_o be_v fall_v into_o the_o temptation_n of_o prefer_v the_o glory_n above_o the_o virtue_n and_o so_o of_o leave_v the_o virtue_n for_o the_o glory_n sake_n if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v divide_v so_o important_a a_o reason_n there_o be_v for_o that_o precept_n of_o the_o apostle_n let_v he_o that_o glori_v glory_n in_o the_o lord_n to_o which_o let_v i_o subjoin_v let_v he_o that_o will_v be_v just_a be_v just_a for_o the_o lord_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o one_o to_o be_v accurate_o just_a for_o any_o other_o prospect_n ii_o the_o second_o position_n be_v this_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n cause_n and_o this_o consideration_n be_v very_o forcible_a to_o engage_v all_o other_o to_o bring_v in_o their_o respective_a due_a assistance_n to_o public_a justice_n it_o be_v a_o notion_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o more_o than_o once_o among_o the_o heathen_a moralist_n that_o a_o good_a man_n be_v a_o perpetual_a magistrate_n and_o that_o though_o he_o be_v not_o make_v so_o by_o the_o govern_n power_n he_o be_v make_v so_o by_o nature_n that_o be_v a_o good_a man_n can_v but_o be_v a_o friend_n and_o patron_n to_o the_o law_n his_o love_n to_o virtue_n and_o the_o public_a good_a will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v unconcern_v when_o he_o see_v they_o break_v and_o contemn_v and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o a_o good_a man_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o with_o a_o good_a christian_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v see_v and_o bear_v with_o indifference_n that_o the_o concern_v of_o truth_n the_o office_n of_o
