high_a office_n do_v all_o shine_v at_o least_o with_o some_o borrow_a ray_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o represent_v they_o as_o so_o many_o god_n to_o other_o men._n for_o whether_o we_o consider_v that_o natural_a capacity_n ingenuity_n and_o probity_n which_o ought_v to_o prepare_v the_o soil_n for_o their_o riper_n virtue_n to_o grow_v in_o it_o be_v seldom_o see_v that_o the_o best_a

and_o after_o their_o advancement_n to_o the_o seat_n of_o judicature_n have_v make_v their_o very_a scarlet_a blush_n at_o the_o extravagant_a and_o outrageous_a deportment_n of_o those_o that_o wear_v it_o or_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o profound_a knowledge_n and_o the_o vast_a experience_n the_o solid_a judgement_n and_o the_o wisdom_n like_o a_o angel_n of_o god_n the_o unwearied_a

the_o make_v up_o of_o one_o accomplish_v magistrate_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v much_o of_o god_n in_o the_o great_a man._n and_o if_o we_o examine_v wherein_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n do_v at_o first_o consist_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o a_o great_a part_n it_o appear_v in_o the_o moral_a perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n in_o a_o near_a resemblance_n of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n goodness_n truth_n purity_n justice_n and_o mercy_n and_o the_o like_a moral_a attribute_n which_o be_v the_o only_a imitable_a perfection_n in_o god_n he_o therefore_o that_o be_v most_o qualify_v with_o those_o moral_a excellency_n have_v certain_o most_v of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o the_o divine_a image_n be_v most_o beautiful_o revive_v in_o his_o virtue_n so_o that_o magistrate_n in_o the_o just_a wise_a upright_o discharge_v of_o their_o duty_n be_v god_n best_o representative_n the_o divine_a wisddom_n shine_v through_o they_o and_o the_o divine_a justice_n illustrious_o appear_v in_o all_o they_o do_v thus_o by_o qualify_a themselves_o with_o more_o eminent_a virtue_n than_o other_o man_n they_o stand_v like_o so_o many_o god_n above_o they_o a_o bold_a hyperbole_n i_o confess_v be_v it_o not_o license_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n itself_o but_o consideration_n 3_o 3._o the_o eminent_a benefit_n that_o good_a magistrate_n communicate_v to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n and_o their_o great_a usefulness_n in_o the_o world_n render_v they_o as_o so_o many_o god_n in_o it_o thus_o we_o know_v idolatry_n arise_v whilst_o man_n deify_v their_o public_a benefactor_n and_o those_o who_o have_v do_v any_o signal_n good_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n be_v reward_v with_o temple_n and_o with_o altar_n with_o sacrifice_n and_o

indeed_o engage_v our_o veneration_n and_o perhaps_o our_o fear_n but_o it_o be_v only_o perfect_a goodness_n that_o irresistible_o charm_v our_o affection_n we_o may_v admire_v all_o that_o be_v

they_o may_v command_v their_o respect_n yet_o it_o be_v only_o their_o mighty_a usefulness_n that_o recommend_v they_o to_o their_o love_n they_o be_v the_o blessing_n which_o such_o communicate_v to_o the_o world_n that_o make_v they_o dear_a as_o public_a benefactor_n and_o belove_v as_o god_n in_o it_o thus_o whilst_o they_o secure_v every_o man_n property_n and_o protect_v every_o man_n life_n whilst_o they_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o god_n peace_n upon_o earth_n and_o the_o dispenser_n of_o his_o common_a justice_n among_o man_n whilst_o they_o impartial_o determine_v all_o dispute_n between_o man_n and_o man_n whilst_o they_o be_v terror_n unto_o evil_a doer_n and_o the_o encourager_n of_o those_o that_o do_v good_a and_o in_o fine_a whilst_o they_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o

that_o uphold_v peace_n and_o order_n right_o and_o equity_n in_o the_o world_n and_o may_v well_o therefore_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o so_o many_o god_n in_o it_o since_o there_o will_v be_v no_o

and_o justice_n in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v indeed_o the_o fair_a image_n of_o god_n in_o it_o and_o so_o they_o may_v be_v call_v consideration_n 4_o 4._o by_o reason_n of_o the_o eminent_a

magistrate_n that_o he_o be_v there_o speak_v for_o to_o those_o he_o think_v the_o great_a honour_n due_a and_o therefore_o to_o those_o he_o command_v they_o most_o especial_o to_o be_v render_v and_o there_o be_v all_o the_o justice_n in_o the_o world_n in_o it_o that_o they_o who_o be_v clothe_v with_o so_o much_o of_o god_n own_o power_n shall_v shine_v also_o with_o some_o part_n of_o
