It is He who is great and called the son of the Highest to whom the Lord God hath given the throne of his father David and he shall reigne over the house of Jacob for ever and of his kingdome there shall be no end Psal 19.6 It is He whose going forth like that of the sun is from the end of Heaven and his circuit to the ends of it Mat. 24.30 Chap. 25.31 It is He who shall come in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory and all the holy Angels with him Rev. 20.9 It is He who shall sit on the great white throne from whose face the Earth and the Heaven shall flee away and there shall be no place found for them It is He before whom the dead small great shall stand Rev. 20.12 and be judged out of those things which are written in the books according to their works It is He to whom the Father hath given authority to execute judgement John 5.27 because he is the son of man Jesus Christ as Mediator hath had the Scepter and rule in his hands ever since the fall and the last and great act of his Regall power shall be to judge the world to settle the eternall and unalterable estates of men and Angels 1 Cor. 15.24 and then he shall deliver up the Kingdome to God even the Father that God may be all in all This is He the first He He in the Antitype and by way of Eminency He shall judge the poor of the people c.

Judgements is the King 's He hath it from good hands he comes fairely and freely by it Give the King thy judgments O Lord The power of judging is in the King is from him so St. Paul tells us Acts 25 10. I stand at Caesars judgement seat where I ought to be judged And Absalom as great a Rebell as he was grants this 2 Sam. 15 3. Thy matters are good but there is none deputed of the King to heare thee The hearing Causes is proper to the King and whom he shall depute It is said of Samuel when he held the Kingly power ingrossed in the Judiciary that He went from yeare to yeare in circuit to Bethel 1 Sam 7.16 and Gilgal and Mispeh and judged Israel in all those places But because as Jethro told Moses Exod. 18.18 ultra vires tuas est negotium the thing is too heavy for one Deut. 1.12 And Moses himself complaines Non valeo solus how can I my selfe alone bear your cumbrance and your burden your strife If you please wee 'l follow that Model of Jethro and take in wise and understanding men known in our Tribes that they may take off part of the burden by subjoyning with the He in the Text and helping to judge the poor of the people And the He will be He the King and He the Judge The King in person and the King in proxy The King in himselfe and the King in his substitute He that hath the primitive and he that hath the derivative power The supreme and the subordinate Magistrate the Co-Assessor Counsellor every one that is commissioned to act in matters of Justice He is the man it is He shall judge the poore of the people And that for the Agent He of whom we shall speak no more single but as he falls in with the severall Acts and Objects to which we now proceed beginning with the First Judge He shall judge And here we shall not make a stirre about judging To judge in its highest signification imports to Rule to exercise the supreme power to hold the reines of Government in the hand and stit at the Stern To command in chiefe and give Laws Victorque volentes Per populos dat jura So the Chieftaines in the polity and Common-wealth of Israel in the nonage of Kings or in the inter-regnum rather Deu. 33.5 betwixt Moses who was King in Jeshurun and Saul the first annointed are said in their several Generations to have governed Israel But we shall wave this and other significations lesse of kinne to our purpose and speak of such onely as may goe along with our sense and be of concernment to us The whole business of judging takes up in these two Oppressos liberare Oppressores coercere to support the poor and oppresse the proud that 's judging Or thus there is judicium comprobationis condemnationis a judging for and against 1. There is a judgement of comprobation a judging for in the safer sense a laying out of intrusted power for the behoofe of those that want it Judicare aliquem Ribera in Hos a p. 3. n. 95. est sententiam pro illo ferre To judge a man is to give sentence for him to appeare for his rescue Isa 1.17 Or let the Prophet english it Seeke judgement relieve the oppressed judge the fatherlesse plead for the widow This is a judging for and is sometimes rendred a delivering As David in his compurgatory speech and selfe-vindication against the cruel causeless and unhandsome persecution of Saul The Lord be judge 1 Sam. 24 15. and judge between me and thee and see and plead my cause and deliver me out of thine hand They that are skilfull in the left-handed language Plurimi ln bonam parte interpretantur judicandi vocabulum ut sit defendere ac tueri destitutos opisque indigentes Lovin in loc render it indifferently judge or deliver or by judging deliver And therefore what is here judge in the other Translation we have keepe
