usual_o so_o indulgent_a to_o themselves_o as_o not_o to_o reach_v the_o measure_n of_o such_o a_o repentance_n but_o to_o take_v up_o with_o that_o which_o be_v slight_a and_o deceive_a upon_o this_o consideration_n i_o say_v kind_a and_o friendly_a be_v the_o force_n of_o public_a justice_n that_o do_v oftentimes_o terrify_v and_o compel_v man_n to_o repent_v happy_a be_v the_o necessity_n that_o procure_v virtue_n but_o especial_o adorable_a be_v the_o mercy_n that_o will_v accept_v of_o that_o virtue_n which_o necessity_n do_v procure_v thus_o i_o apprehend_v myself_o to_o have_v sufficient_o clear_v my_o first_o proposition_n and_o now_o the_o remainder_n of_o my_o business_n be_v to_o show_v that_o this_o consideration_n be_v of_o great_a importance_n to_o make_v man_n act_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o every_o relation_n they_o bear_v to_o public_a justice_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v do_v distinct_o according_a to_o the_o method_n of_o my_o former_a position_n show_v what_o argument_n for_o integrity_n do_v natural_o arise_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o each_o of_o they_o i._o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o first_o position_n be_v this_o that_o the_o magistrate_n in_o judgement_n sustain_v the_o person_n of_o god_n and_o act_n for_o he_o now_o this_o consideration_n be_v of_o a_o reasonable_a force_n to_o keep_v the_o magistrate_n just_a and_o upright_a in_o his_o determination_n and_o no_o other_o but_o this_o for_o let_v the_o magistrate_n suppose_v himself_o to_o sustain_v any_o other_o person_n or_o to_o act_v by_o or_o for_o any_o other_o whatsoever_o but_o only_o god_n he_o shall_v find_v himself_o immediate_o fall_v under_o the_o power_n of_o such_o reason_n as_o will_v pervert_v he_o from_o be_v just_o because_o there_o be_v no_o person_n in_o the_o world_n but_o god_n alone_o who_o end_n may_v not_o sometime_o be_v better_o serve_v by_o injustice_n god_n end_n be_v always_o serve_v by_o justice_n and_o no_o body_n always_o so_o but_o his._n and_o hence_o spring_v the_o great_a difficulty_n of_o be_v just_o and_o the_o necessity_n of_o that_o caution_n which_o we_o find_v so_o frequent_o inculcate_v to_o magistrate_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n viz._n that_o they_o shall_v be_v strong_a courageous_a very_o courageous_a because_o it_o be_v but_o needful_a that_o he_o who_o duty_n will_v not_o permit_v he_o to_o oblige_v in_o what_o be_v unjust_a shall_v arm_v himself_o against_o the_o possible_a malevolence_n of_o many_o who_o will_v account_v themselves_o disoblige_v by_o the_o direct_a issue_n of_o justice_n he_o therefore_o that_o will_v be_v just_o must_v harden_v himself_o against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o interest_n though_o in_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v imprudent_a against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o affection_n though_o in_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v illnatured_n against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o benefit_n though_o in_o that_o he_o may_v seem_v ingrateful_a nay_o against_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o vulgar_a pity_n though_o in_o that_o he_o seem_v hard-hearted_a he_o must_v render_v himself_o disengage_v from_o all_o the_o world_n and_o from_o himself_o above_o all_o because_o self_n be_v undoubted_o the_o great_a bias_n to_o human_a prevarication_n but_o these_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v difficulty_n which_o i_o think_v no_o other_o consideration_n can_v enable_v a_o man_n to_o surmount_v but_o only_o the_o respect_n of_o god_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o do_v that_o service_n which_o god_n himself_o do_v both_o require_v and_o reward_v i_o know_v indeed_o that_o to_o be_v just_o be_v in_o itself_o a_o very_a glorious_a thing_n without_o any_o far_a religious_a prospect_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v some_o spirit_n natural_o generous_a which_o though_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o they_o have_v not_o much_o of_o religion_n will_v yet_o despise_v all_o the_o temptation_n of_o interest_n and_o be_v just_a for_o the_o very_a glory_n of_o be_v so_o but_o then_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o glory_n itself_o be_v another_o bias_n and_o can_v draw_v man_n from_o their_o integrity_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o passion_n and_o so_o it_o sometime_o happen_v that_o a_o man_n that_o can_v not_o have_v be_v bribe_v with_o gold_n will_v yet_o be_v bribe_v with_o air_n that_o be_v the_o affectation_n of_o a_o popular_a fame_n a_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v intend_v in_o that_o precept_n ex._n xxiii_o 3._o where_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o countenance_v a_o poor_a man_n in_o his_o cause_n intimate_v that_o when_o a_o poor_a man_n have_v a_o bad_a cause_n though_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o temptation_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v that_o of_o vainglory_n to_o be_v unjust_a because_o a_o sentence_n give_v in_o behalf_n of_o a_o poor_a man_n be_v so_o popular_a and_o specious_a that_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v unjust_a yet_o it_o may_v gain_v a_o man_n the_o reputation_n of_o a_o more_o impartial_a justice_n and_o indeed_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o affect_v glory_n from_o any_o thing_n though_o from_o virtue_n itself_o he_o be_v fall_v into_o the_o temptation_n of_o prefer_v the_o glory_n above_o the_o virtue_n and_o so_o of_o leave_v the_o virtue_n for_o the_o glory_n sake_n if_o at_o any_o time_n they_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v divide_v so_o important_a a_o reason_n there_o be_v for_o that_o precept_n of_o the_o apostle_n let_v he_o that_o glori_v glory_n in_o the_o lord_n to_o which_o let_v i_o subjoin_v let_v he_o that_o will_v be_v just_a be_v just_a for_o the_o lord_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o one_o to_o be_v accurate_o just_a for_o any_o other_o prospect_n ii_o the_o second_o position_n be_v this_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o judgement_n be_v god_n cause_n and_o this_o consideration_n be_v very_o forcible_a to_o engage_v all_o other_o to_o bring_v in_o their_o respective_a due_a assistance_n to_o public_a justice_n it_o be_v a_o notion_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o more_o than_o once_o among_o the_o heathen_a moralist_n that_o a_o good_a man_n be_v a_o perpetual_a magistrate_n and_o that_o though_o he_o be_v not_o make_v so_o by_o the_o govern_n power_n he_o be_v make_v so_o by_o nature_n that_o be_v a_o good_a man_n can_v but_o be_v a_o friend_n and_o patron_n to_o the_o law_n his_o love_n to_o virtue_n and_o the_o public_a good_a will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v unconcern_v when_o he_o see_v they_o break_v and_o contemn_v and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o a_o good_a man_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o with_o a_o good_a christian_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v see_v and_o bear_v with_o indifference_n that_o the_o concern_v of_o truth_n the_o office_n of_o morality_n and_o religion_n which_o i_o say_v be_v the_o general_a matter_n of_o the_o law_n those_o duty_n wherein_o god_n honour_n and_o the_o common_a welfare_n nay_o the_o common_a salvation_n be_v so_o near_o concern_v shall_v be_v break_v and_o neglect_v without_o a_o proper_a animadversion_n we_o all_o conclude_v that_o he_o want_v compassion_n and_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n of_o humanity_n who_o will_v suffer_v the_o poor_a to_o perish_v for_o want_v of_o relieve_v but_o if_o the_o perish_a of_o soul_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n than_o the_o perish_v of_o body_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o have_v less_o compassion_n and_o sin_n more_o against_o the_o law_n of_o humanity_n who_o will_v suffer_v good_a manner_n to_o be_v run_v down_o for_o want_n of_o assert_v i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o every_o good_a christian_n shall_v rise_v up_o like_o phineas_n and_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o zeal_n as_o the_o rabbin_n call_v it_o but_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o good_a christian_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o constant_a regard_n to_o the_o end_n of_o public_a justice_n which_o be_v the_o restraint_n of_o vice_n and_o the_o maintenance_n of_o good_a manner_n and_o to_o these_o end_v he_o ought_v never_o to_o be_v want_v in_o any_o sort_n of_o prudential_n assistance_n and_o in_o this_o point_n i_o humble_o wish_v that_o the_o gentleman_n will_v be_v please_v to_o hear_v i_o as_o their_o particular_a remembrancer_n whether_o they_o be_v magistrate_n or_o no_o let_v they_o always_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o a_o awful_a example_n carry_v magistracy_n in_o itself_o and_o he_o that_o live_v christianly_o be_v the_o best_a justiciary_a he_o give_v the_o best_a assistance_n to_o public_a justice_n and_o cure_v most_o crime_n among_o the_o people_n god_n have_v give_v this_o precept_n among_o other_o judicial_a law_n leu._n nineteeen_o as_o that_o which_o have_v a_o most_o direct_a influence_n upon_o the_o affair_n of_o public_a justice_n viz._n thou_o shall_v in_o any_o wise_a rebuke_n thy_o neighbour_n and_o not_o suffer_v sin_n upon_o he_o the_o charge_n be_v give_v to_o all_o but_o it_o oblige_v the_o gentleman_n most_o who_o
