good_a or_o no_o be_v a_o dispute_n in_o which_o i_o be_o not_o concern_v it_o not_o import_v much_o to_o our_o time_n to_o know_v what_o be_v just_a in_o those_o for_o whether_o his_o title_n be_v

in_o virtue_n of_o what_o with_o twenty_o other_o consideration_n necessary_a enough_o to_o clear_v the_o difficulty_n as_o it_o ought_v but_o too_o long_o for_o a_o packet_n to_o say_v brief_o as_o much_o as_o may_v serve_v turn_n i_o observe_v that_o we_o use_v these_o word_n just_a or_o right_o as_o all_o other_o in_o different_a sense_n we_o call_v he_o a_o just_a man_n who_o give_v to_o every_o one_o what_o the_o law_n make_v his_o due_a in_o which_o sense_n the_o law_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o just_a and_o unjust_a just_a meaning_n as_o much_o as_o agreeable_a unjust_a the_o same_o as_o contrary_a to_o law_n but_o sometime_o we_o apply_v the_o same_o term_n to_o law_n themselves_o and_o say_v some_o be_v just_a other_o unjust_a as_o if_o marriage_n or_o the_o propagation_n of_o posterity_n be_v universal_o forbid_v or_o every_o body_n command_v to_o cut_v off_o their_o leg_n or_o arm_n such_o law_n will_v be_v think_v and_o call_v unjust_a in_o this_o case_n the_o notion_n of_o those_o word_n be_v very_o different_a from_o what_o it_o be_v before_o unjustice_n now_o signify_v opposition_n not_o to_o law_n which_o can_v be_v opposite_a to_o itself_o but_o to_o something_o else_o which_o the_o lawmaker_n have_v in_o their_o eye_n when_o they_o make_v a_o just_a law_n and_o which_o be_v their_o rule_n and_o direct_v they_o to_o order_v what_o they_o do_v and_o not_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o reflect_v what_o this_o be_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o just_a and_o unjust_a be_v say_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n for_o other_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o his_o use_n be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v deal_v with_o as_o be_v most_o fit_v for_o they_o but_o as_o they_o may_v best_o serve_v he_o but_o man_n must_v be_v use_v as_o his_o nature_n require_v and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o we_o say_v he_o be_v wrong_v i_o conceive_v therefore_o that_o the_o root_n of_o justice_n lie_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o what_o be_v fit_v or_o unfit_a for_o it_o be_v the_o original_a rule_n of_o just_a and_o unjust_a to_o descend_v to_o more_o particular_n and_o dispute_v how_o far_o one_o man_n may_v just_o be_v hinder_v from_o his_o particular_a good_a for_o the_o great_a good_a of_o the_o society_n in_o which_o he_o live_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o consideration_n which_o belong_v to_o lawmaker_n be_v not_o to_o my_o purpose_n it_o be_v enough_o if_o i_o observe_v that_o just_o signify_v radical_o commensurate_a or_o fit_a general_o imply_v agreement_n which_o agreement_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v make_v on_o sight_n of_o what_o be_v fit_a for_o both_o party_n agree_v so_o that_o antecedent_o to_o law_n which_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o practice_n at_o least_o betwixt_o member_n of_o the_o same_o commonwealth_n look_v on_o as_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o justice_n there_o be_v a_o proportion_n or_o exigence_n of_o nature_n with_o respect_n to_o which_o some_o thing_n be_v just_a other_o unjust_a and_o to_o which_o when_o law_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n they_o themselves_o be_v think_v not_o just_a and_o this_o explication_n i_o take_v to_o be_v not_o only_o true_a but_o universal_o acknowledge_v for_o if_o positive_a agreement_n be_v think_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o justice_n i_o know_v not_o how_o that_o notion_n can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n which_o be_v the_o high_a and_o most_o bind_a of_o all_o other_o and_o yet_o be_v before_o and_o manifest_o without_o agreement_n to_o apply_v this_o to_o our_o case_n i_o consider_v that_o government_n have_v be_v embrace_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o world_n to_o avoid_v the_o mischief_n of_o lawless_a humour_n destructive_a to_o society_n and_o that_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o prince_n rule_n from_o which_o when_o he_o swerve_v his_o action_n be_v not_o just_o because_o unproportioned_a and_o not_o suit_v to_o that_o exigence_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v the_o root_n of_o justice_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o a_o prince_n every_o time_n he_o do_v unjust_o may_v be_v resist_v that_o be_v another_o and_o at_o present_a unconcern_v question_n i_o consider_v far_o that_o nothing_o can_v more_o import_v the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n than_o the_o governor_n themselves_o for_o they_o be_v the_o main_a hinge_n on_o which_o the_o common_a good_a turn_n and_o the_o fountain_n from_o which_o all_o good_n flow_v to_o particular_n if_o these_o be_v such_o as_o

all_o this_o will_v unavoidable_o follow_v if_o the_o nomination_n of_o supreme_a governor_n be_v leave_v to_o arbitrary_a pleasure_n they_o may_v be_v stranger_n and_o through_o ignorance_n unable_a to_o preserve_v national_a law_n they_o may_v be_v enemy_n and_o through_o ill_a affection_n studious_a to_o break_v they_o in_o fine_a to_o fancy_v that_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v more_o against_o

recall_v it_o on_o better_a consideration_n what_o in_o particular_a it_o be_v which_o the_o clergy_n have_v this_o way_n we_o must_v inquire_v of_o those_o who_o know_v the_o law_n whatever_o it_o
