office_n and_o place_n be_v to_o do_v justice_n yet_o they_o have_v nothing_o of_o justice_n no_o tincture_n of_o it_o in_o they_o they_o neither_o fear_v god_n nor_o regard_n ma●_n to_o do_v he_o

other_o there_o be_v sure_o a_o great_a scarcity_n of_o justice_n in_o the_o justicer_n of_o jerusalem_n when_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n jer._n 5.1_o offer_v to_o pardon_v the_o whole_a

will_v demonstrate_v these_o five_o way_n first_o he_o have_v plenty_n of_o justice_n who_o deal_v just_o with_o every_o man_n god_n give_v every_o man_n his_o due_a all_o his_o due_a and_o nothing_o but_o his_o due_n more_o distinct_o take_v this_o in_o two_o branch_n first_o he_o that_o reward_v all_o that_o be_v good_a with_o good_a not_o this_o or_o that_o man_n not_o his_o kinsman_n or_o his_o friend_n only_o but_o every_o man_n that_o be_v good_a with_o good_a he_o have_v plenty_n of_o justice_n thus_o do_v god_n the_o respect_n which_o god_n have_v to_o the_o person_n of_o good_a man_n be_v like_o the_o respect_n which_o good_a man_n have_v to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n it_o be_v universal_a he_o respect_v they_o all_o as_o they_o give_v he_o plentiful_a obedience_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o all_o his_o commandment_n so_o he_o give_v they_o plentiful_a justice_n he_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o their_o person_n to_o all_o their_o working_n to_o all_o their_o way_n which_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a again_o second_o he_o have_v plenty_n of_o justice_n who_o punish_v all_o that_o do_v evil_a not_o wink_v at_o nor_o spare_a friend_n or_o kindred_n sure_o then_o there_o be_v plenty_n of_o justice_n in_o god_n for_o as_o he_o reward_v all_o the_o good_a with_o good_a so_o he_o reward_v all_o evil_a man_n with_o evil_a that_o be_v all_o the_o reward_n they_o shall_v have_v and_o they_o shall_v have_v plenty_n of_o it_o psal_n 31.23_o he_o plenteous_o reward_v the_o proud_a doer_n the_o proud_a shall_v have_v and_o drink_v up_o the_o last_o the_o residue_n the_o remainder_n the_o very_a dregs_o of_o the_o bitter_a cup_n of_o the_o cup_n of_o tremble_a as_o the_o hebrew_n elegancy_n use_v by_o the_o psalmist_n intimate_v tribulation_n and_o anguish_n upon_o every_o soul_n of_o man_n that_o do_v evil_a for_o there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n with_o god_n rom._n 2.9_o 11._o as_o he_o will_v punish_v none_o but_o evil-doer_n so_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o every_o one_o except_o they_o repent_v second_o with_o the_o lord_n be_v plenty_n of_o justice_n for_o he_o know_v the_o whole_a compass_n of_o justice_n he_o have_v the_o clear_a idea_n of_o it_o in_o his_o understanding_n he_o know_v all_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o or_o rather_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o it_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n come_v out_o from_o he_o and_o be_v but_o the_o signification_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v they_o and_o be_v well_o skill_v in_o they_o some_o man_n have_v a_o good_a mind_n to_o do_v justice_n yet_o have_v no_o plenty_n of_o it_o because_o they_o be_v unskilful_a in_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o the_o law_n both_o of_o god_n and_o man_n a_o judge_n that_o be_v blind_a through_o ignorance_n and_o have_v not_o a_o gift_n of_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n in_o the_o law_n falter_v in_o do_v or_o be_v unfit_a to_o do_v justice_n as_o much_o as_o ●e_v ●hat_n be_v blind_v with_o gift_n o●_n

plenty_n of_o justice_n but_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o infinite_o clea●_n eye_n as_o to_o the_o rule_n ●o_o no_o gift_n can_v blind_v he_o nor_o can_v any_o relation_n put_v ou●_n his_o eye_n from_o see_v a_o faul●_n nor_o divert_v he_o from_o punish_v it_o isa_n 27.11_o it_o be_v a_o people_n of_o no_o understanding_n either_o to_o do_v go●●_n or_o to_o depa●t_v from_o evil_n therefore_o he_o that_o make_v they_o that_o be_v a_o near_a rel●●ion_n will_v not_o have_v mercy_n on_o they_o and_o he_o that_o form_v they_o that_o be_v the_o ●ame_n will_v show_v they_o no_o favour_n as_o

of_o the_o law_n perfect_o and_o will_v not_o be_v turn_v aside_o from_o it_o so_o he_o know_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n perfect_o and_o can_v be_v mislead_v about_o that_o upon_o which_o mistake_v

will_z h_z god_n because_o he_o know_v the_o spirit_n and_o hear●_n with_o which_o every_o man_n act_n he_o know_v whether_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v malicious_o or_o mere_o by_o a_o surprise_n of_o
