if_o i_o give_v sentence_n contrary_a to_o law_n solon_n say_v that_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n consist_v in_o these_o two_o point_n that_o reward_n be_v distribute_v after_o the_o desert_n of_o virtue_n and_o punishment_n after_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o offence_n justice_n say_v one_o know_v not_o father_n know_v not_o mother_n but_o know_v the_o truth_n accept_v no_o person_n but_o follow_v god_n god_n be_v a_o just_a judge_n against_o wicked_a person_n and_o if_o any_o do_v stay_v justice_n and_o judgement_n through_o bribe_n or_o reward_n their_o sin_n and_o corruption_n be_v the_o great_a and_o a_o judge_n may_v be_v ashamed_a to_o say_v to_o any_o offender_n what_o will_v thou_o give_v i_o to_o show_v thou_o favour_n or_o do_v thou_o justice_n be_v not_o this_o as_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v what_o will_v thou_o give_v i_o to_o deny_v myself_o to_o loose_v my_o office_n and_o to_o sell_v god_n himself_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n say_v

be_v cause_n why_o punishment_n may_v be_v delay_v or_o lessen_v some_o offender_n be_v great_a than_o other_o and_o be_v ringleader_n to_o wickedness_n these_o deserve_v more_o sharp_a punishment_n other_o be_v seduce_v and_o fall_v by_o occasion_n these_o be_v more_o mild_o to_o be_v deal_v withal_o but_o the_o inferior_a magistrate_n can_v do_v nothing_o in_o such_o case_n without_o the_o direction_n and_o counsel_n of_o the_o superior_a as_o there_o be_v difference_n of_o offender_n and_o offence_n so_o there_o be_v difference_n of_o law_n against_o the_o which_o they_o do_v offend_v some_o law_n have_v their_o ground_n &_o warrant_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n to_o the_o transgresser_n of_o these_o there_o shall_v be_v grant_v no_o favour_n or_o remission_n

and_o special_o in_o such_o as_o concern_v our_o own_o private_a cause_n but_o see_v here_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v more_o severe_a in_o our_o own_o cause_n then_o in_o god_n

child_n of_o israel_n contrary_a to_o god_n commandment_n 2._o suffer_v the_o canaanite_n and_o the_o moabitish_a woman_n to_o live_v saul_n spare_v agag_n 25_o and_o the_o remnant_n of_o amalecke_n 15_o and_o another_o king_n of_o israel_n spare_v benhadad_n contrary_a to_o god_n commandment_n and_o thus_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o spare_v where_o god_n will_v not_o have_v spare_v and_o where_o they_o shall_v be_v most_o patient_a and_o kind_a there_o they_o be_v cruel_a whereas_o in_o our_o own_o cause_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v patient_a and_o merciful_a but_o as_o for_o the_o cause_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o be_v to_o be_v in_o it_o most_o zealous_a and_o severe_a and_o there_o be_v some_o offender_n who_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v cut_v off_o in_o all_o severity_n without_o any_o

the_o reason_n why_o god_n do_v so_o hate_n and_o pursue_v this_o people_n be_v their_o hard_a and_o cruel_a deal_n against_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o long_o after_o when_o saul_n

both_o man_n and_o woman_n both_o infant_n and_o suckling_n both_o ox_n and_o sheep_n both_o camel_n and_o ass_n but_o saul_n upon_o a_o foolish_a pity_n spare_v agag_n the_o king_n and_o some_o of_o the_o fat_a beast_n but_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o spare_v he_o but_o thrust_v he_o out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o his_o disobedience_n and_o samuel_n say_v to_o agag_n 33._o as_o thy_o sword_n

ahab_n a_o king_n spare_v another_o king_n who_o god_n will_v not_o have_v spare_v but_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o he_o 42._o because_o thou_o have_v let_v go_v out_o of_o thy_o hand_n a_o man_n who_o i_o appoint_v to_o die_v thy_o life_n shall_v go_v for_o his_o life_n and_o thy_o people_n for_o his_o people_n these_o be_v fearful_a example_n for_o king_n and_o prince_n that_o they_o take_v
