giving Sentence or if Sentence be given from executing of Judgment or if Judgment be already begun from further proceeding Take one or two examples Psal 106. They joyned themselves to Baalpeor and ate the Offerings of the dead they provoked him to anger with their own inventions and the Plague brake in amongst them but when Phineas stood up executed Judgment the Plague was staied and the Lord said unto Moses Phineas the Son of Eliazer the Son of Aaron the Priest hath turned away mine anger because he was jealous for his God and hath made an Attonement for the Children of Israel Numb 25. For Achans sin God substracteth his helping hand from the Israelites they flee at the sound of Leafe shaken and turn their backs upon their Enemies the sinner is put to death and the Lord turneth from his fierce wrath See Jos 7. for Sauls bloody house and cruelty against the Gibeonites God sends cleanness of teeth in all the Cities and scarcity of Bread in all the Villages of Israel when Judgment is executed God is appeased with the Land See 2 Sam. 21. But till judgement be executed upon Sauls bloody Family let David do what he can the Lord will not be appeased toward the Land Till Achan be stoned let Joshuah and all the Elders of Israel rent their Clothes and put dust upon their heads and fall down and pray before the Ark the Lord will not turn from his fierce wrath Till Phineas execute Judgment thongh Moses and all the Congregation of Israel weep before the Door of the Tabernacle the Plague shall continue If a Land be defiled with blood do what otherwise may be done it will not be cleansed but by the blood of him that shed it Numb 25. 23. Thus then when the Gods of the Earth execute Judgment upon the transgressours of the Law they give an inhibition to the God of Heaven from further proceeding Hence be these and the like speeches so frequent in Charges given in the Law to Magistrates for punishing Offenders so shalt thou take evill away forth of the mids of thee Deut. 13. Deut 19. and in other places what evill not only malum culpae but that which is a consequent and fruit of it malum paenae too as is plain Deut. 13. 17. that the Lord may turn from his fierce wrath and shew compassion upon thee On the other side where they suffer the sword of Justice to rust and canker in the Scabberd and suffer their Inferiours as if they lived in an Anarchie to do what they lust and let the Reines loose to all licentiousnesse ut cum carceribus sese effudêre quadrigae fertur equis auriga as if there were no providence in the Almighty Then the Lord who is jealous of his honour and abhors all irregular motions awakes as one out of sleep and as a Giant refreshed with wine he unsheatheth his glittering Sword and executes vengeance both upon Prince and People and unlesse repentance follow turnes them to a perpetuall shame whereof you have many examples in the Book of Judges to which David alludeth Psal 106. The wrath of the Lord was kindled against his people insomuch that he abhorred his owne Inheritance and gave them over into the hands of the Heathen and they that hated them were Lords over them And what a fearfull Judgment did Lot his neglect of executing Judgment bring upon himselfe and Family and upon all Israel of Israel there fell by the hands of the Philistims at two Battels 3400. Hophni and Phineas were both slain with the Sword old Eli at the newes broke his neck his Daughter in Law Phineas his Wife at the hearing thereof was brought to Bed before her time and died and which had never before happened as she complained at her Death the glory departed from Israel and the Ark of God was taken This heavy curse came upon Eli and upon his house and upon all Israel for not executing of Judgment upon such as by their sinnes had kindled Gods wrath and through the whole Book of Judges how many Plagues are executed upon Israel for this sin this is meant by that which is so often repeated in that Book In those daies there was no King in Israel Judg. 17. 6. 18. 1. 21. 25. that is no ordinary Magistrate to inflict condigne punishment upon notorious Offenders As there is a neglect in executing Judgment in matters criminall So I feare in administration of Justice in matters civill Where if it be true which is commonly spoken too many frustratory and venatory delaies as Bernard calls them are used it s a generall complaint amongst those that have Law suits that expedition is a Court-Lady so nice and dainty that a common person shall hardly be able to speak with her yea that men of good rank must wait long and woe much and make Freinds and send love tokens some peradventure as costly as she used to take who gave occasion of the Proverb Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum before he can see her Face or injoy her favour thus it is with him that beginnes a Suit in any Court of Justice whether ecclesiasticall or civill I call them both so because they both should be so as with him that ventures upon the Ocean Caelum undiqueet undique pontus or with one that enters into a maze where he finds it an easie entry Sed revocare gradum hoc opus hic labor est He that is to contend with a potent and contentious adversary must as he that undertakes voyage to the East-Indies furnish himself before hand with 2. or 3. yeares provision at the least or he shall be ●nforced to put on shore for new supply before he shal be able to discover the Cape of good hope the Medicine proves worse then the Disease insomuch that if a man shall in the end prevaile against his Adversary he may peradventure give the same answer to his Neighbours that rejoyce for his successe that Pyrrhus gave his friends who came to congratulate with him after a great Victory he had got over the Romanes but with much blood-shed and losse of his best Souldiers and Captaines yea quoth he but if I shall get such another Victory I shall be for ever undone This makes some willing rather to part with their own Right then to buy it at so high a rate in those places ubi major erit expensarum sumptus quam sententiae fructus as one complained of the Popes Court.
