The Iudges ignorance is the innocent mans calamitie Yea ignorance at the Barre may preiudice it selfe or one mans cause but ignorance on the Bench doth preiudice all the Countrie for either it must determine causes by hap-hazard or frame weake resolutions out of her owne shallow braine as Spiders spinne their Cob-webbes out of themselues Now the poore men come to the Court to haue their hearts relieued with some sentence of equitie they come not to haue their hopes deluded with a Lotterie or their eares delighted with a ierke or trick of Poetry The other inabling perfection is conscience A man of conscience must be Iudge That he may walke with Dauid Psal 101. in the vprightnesse of his heart neither stooping to rewards as Samuels sonnes for such Iudges doe wrap vp a matter as the word is Mich. 7.3 Sometimes giue me thy siluer for thy sinne by commutation and sometimes beare with mee I le beare with thee by compensation nor yet winking at iniustice for fauour with Eli heere whose condemnation proceeds out of his owne mouth The Iudge shall iudge it He was Iudge himself he did not iudge it Yet I would not be conceiued in a wider sense then I dare speake You shall banish some iustice if you banish all fauour out of iudgement The Imperiall Lawes though they detest respect of persons yet I am sure fauour the Defendant more then the Plaintiffe and by the municipall Lawes of this Land as I haue heard a Barre to common intent is good whereas a Declaration must containe precise forme and certaintie The reason I take to bee that of the Ciuilian Actor Instructus accedat oportet and the reason of that reason is because actions are according to nature more in our power then passions To bee short fauours within the cause not fauours without the cause legall fauours not personall are in iudgement considerable A Iudge after the manner you haue heard qualified stands bound in reason to execute the proper act of his function for the iudgement as Iehosaphat spake is the Lords 2. Chron. 19. Therefore are Iudges a liuing kind of instruments You know the nature of instruments consists in vse and operation wheresoeuer you finde instruments without operation as in the Psalme They haue eyes and see not you finde Idols The speech then is as naturall and agreeable when wee say The Iudge shall iudge it as when we say The eye shall see the eare shall heare they be the Ministers of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 attending continually on the same thing Therefore in those dayes when Kings themselues were Iudges such dayes there were howsoeuer the French aduocate dispute against it as vnbefitting Maiestie in those dayes a widdow comming as Xiphilinus and Spartianus say to Adrian but as Plutarch relates to Demetrius and Philip to seeke for iustice and being answered hee was not at leisure replied Noliigitur regnare Be not at leisure to bee King The euent bids me beleeue it of Philip for I finde that his neglect of Pausanias suite when he came to be righted against Attalus was the cause why Pausanias killed him Therefore if a Iudge he shall iudge it So haue you heard the meanes of mediation when one man sinnes against another a man with warrant from without sufficiencie from within both of knowledge and conscience whom the German cals in a significant word Bidermann Vtriusque virum awards for euerie dammage a satisfaction Gallio tolde the Iewes If it were a matter of wrong or euill deed he would according to reason maintaine them If one man sinne against another the Iudge shall iudge it A benefit more knowne by experience in England then euer it was in Israel God be blessed and blessed might we be if it were acknowledged with thankfulnesse They had their counsell of three their lesser Sanedrim of three and twentie Their greater Sanedrim of threescore twelue to which our Sauiour alludeth Matth. 5. We haue more for number better for conueniencie for all causes spirituall and temporall ciuill and criminall pecuniarie and capitall Samuel amongst them went about yeare by yeare to Bethel and Gilgal and Mispeh and iudged Israel in all these places More then one Samuel amongst vs more then once in the yere visit all the great Cities of our Kingdome in such maner that neyther offenders haue any long respite to reflect vpon themselues view their own strength and take incouragement nor any else iust cause to complaine against the publike triall since they stand or fall at home by the deposition and verdict of their neerest neighbours So much of that sinne for which there may be some mediation That the sinne of Elies sonnes was a sinne against the Lord I haue shewed alreadie the successe in this last sequel being the want of true successe bids vs search somwhat deeper into the maner Great was that darknesse whereat Christ the very light of the world did wonder and aske the question How great is that darknesse So strange must that offence bee here of which the High Priest himselfe best acquainted with all the meanes of atonement proposeth this interrogation with admiration Who shall intreate for him Compare Protasis with Apodosis sequel with sequel the former with the latter as they stand in opposition what doth the former affirme No more but a ciuill and humane mediation for a temporall satisfaction What then doth the latter deny by the rules of opposition no lesse then Religious or Diuine intercession for eternall satisfaction Here may we behold some Symptomes of that disease for which there is no Balme in Gilead some signes of that sinne wee commonly call the sinne against the Holy Ghost not that it is against the third person of the Trinitie as hee is the third person more then against the first or second But because it is against the function and operation of that person vpon whose office depends mens conuiction and mens illumination This sinne is a sinne of men enlightned who haue receiued a taste of heauenly g●fts Hebr 6. Who more enlightned who receiued more in their times then the Priests of Israel This sinne contemneth Christ it treadeth vnder foo●e the Sonne of God Heb. 10. Their contempt could reach no neerer to the truth they contemned the type Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice Vers 20. For this sinne there remaineth no more sacrifice Heb. 10.
