servant_n of_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a subiective_o or_o inhesive_o only_o inchoative_o which_o be_v their_o sanctification_n relative_o imputative_o christ_n righteousness_n through_o faith_n be_v reckon_v and_o impute_v as_o they_o which_o be_v their_o justification_n again_o second_o by_o voluntary_a obedience_n one_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a so_o be_v adam_n just_a in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n so_o be_v it_o most_o true_o say_v of_o christ_n who_o by_o his_o voluntary_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n three_o by_o nature_n one_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a &_o that_o either_o as_o make_v so_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o another_o or_o else_o original_o by_o himself_o and_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n in_o the_o first_o kind_n it_o may_v be_v true_o speak_v in_o like_a manner_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n who_o be_v just_a by_o nature_n as_o be_v make_v so_o by_o the_o benefit_n and_o bounty_n of_o his_o creator_n and_o most_o true_o may_v it_o also_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o second_o adam_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o a_o virgin_n without_o any_o spot_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o virtual_a operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o now_o concern_v god_n he_o be_v just_a in_o a_o far_o different_a and_o far_o more_o excellent_a manner_n for_o he_o be_v not_o make_v just_a but_o he_o be_v just_o original_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o in_o his_o essence_n and_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v only_o true_a of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v simpliciter_fw-la iustùs_fw-la simple_o just_a which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o any_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o for_o although_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o regenerate_a that_o by_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n they_o be_v perfect_o just_a yet_o it_o be_v false_a and_o erroneous_a to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v simple_o just_a nay_o christ_n himself_o although_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a natural_o habitual_o and_o hypostatical_o yet_o simple_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v because_o whatsoever_o justice_n he_o have_v as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o have_v it_o by_o participation_n from_o his_o divine_a nature_n but_o god_n be_v so_o just_a that_o he_o be_v his_o own_o justice_n for_o justice_n be_v not_o in_o god_n as_o a_o accident_n in_o the_o subject_n or_o by_o way_n of_o composition_n but_o of_o essential_a union_n for_o all_o the_o propriety_n of_o god_n be_v essential_a he_o be_v essential_o just_a he_o be_v essential_o good_a and_o therefore_o justice_n and_o goodness_n itself_o and_o consequent_o it_o be_v true_a only_a of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v simple_o just_a this_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v plain_o witness_v 19.17_o mat._n 19.17_o who_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n that_o be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o good_a as_o of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o nay_o if_o we_o speak_v proper_o and_o strict_o none_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o much_o as_o perfect_o good_a est_fw-la quod_fw-la tale_n est_fw-la ex_fw-la participatione_fw-la imperfectè_fw-la tale_n est_fw-la or_o perfect_o just_a or_o perfect_o holy_a neither_o angel_n nor_o man_n for_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a rule_n that_o that_o which_o be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v by_o participation_n be_v imperfect_o such_o as_o the_o water_n or_o iron_n make_v hot_a by_o the_o fire_n be_v imperfect_o hot_a as_o have_v their_o heat_n not_o natural_o but_o accidental_o and_o by_o participation_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v just_a namely_o simple_o and_o absolute_o in_o a_o far_o more_o excellent_a manner_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o as_o be_v original_o and_o essential_o just_a but_o come_v we_o now_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o justice_n in_o this_o place_n for_o although_o proper_o there_o be_v but_o one_o justice_n in_o god_n as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o essence_n yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o divers_a respect_n or_o divers_a person_n which_o god_n in_o a_o certain_a kind_n may_v be_v say_v to_o bear_v his_o justice_n also_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v divers_a as_o he_o be_v a_o most_o free_a lord_n do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v all_o in_o regard_n of_o divers_a respect_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o

be_v his_o justice_n which_o be_v the_o justice_n which_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o place_n and_o be_v call_v the_o distributive_a or_o judiciary_n justice_n of_o god_n because_o by_o it_o he_o give_v
