negative_a the_o other_o positive_a justice_z the_o negative_a justice_n be_v to_o do_v no_o wrong_n or_o injury_n to_o any_o the_o positive_a justice_n be_v to_o do_v right_a to_o all_o that_o be_v to_o yield_v they_o whatsoever_o appertain_v or_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o i_o shall_v first_o speak_v of_o the_o negative_a justice_n the_o not_o injure_v negative_a or_o wrong_v any_o now_o because_o a_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v wrong_n in_o several_a respect_n this_o first_o part_n of_o justice_n extend_v itself_o into_o several_a branch_n answerable_a to_o those_o capacity_n of_o injury_n a_o man_n may_v be_v injure_v either_o in_o his_o soul_n his_o body_n his_o possession_n or_o credit_n and_o therefore_o this_o duty_n of_o negative_a justice_n lay_v a_o restraint_n on_o we_o in_o every_o of_o these_o that_o we_o do_v no_o wrong_n to_o any_o man_n in_o respect_n either_o of_o his_o soul_n his_o body_n his_o possession_n or_o credit_n 3._o first_o this_o justice_n

that_o of_o sin_n second_o that_o of_o punishment_n the_o latter_a whereof_o be_v certain_o the_o consequent_a of_o the_o former_a and_o therefore_o though_o god_n be_v the_o inflict_a of_o

punishment_n as_o he_o that_o give_v a_o man_n a_o mortal_a wound_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n therefore_o under_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n both_o be_v contain_v so_o that_o i_o need_v
