To condemn the Innocent for fear of displeasing the Prince is not Just but a Weakness There was in a City a Judge which feared not God neither regarded Men.

The Commission or Power is not to be exceeded Paul said unto him the High-priest God shall smite thee thou whited Wall For sittest thou to judge me after the Law and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the Law And they that stood by said revilest thou God's High-priest Then said Paul I wist not Brethren that he was the High-priest For it is written thou shalt not speak evil of the Ruler of thy People Acts 23. 3. Magistrates not to be revil'd even when they act contrary to Justice No Punishment just before Sentence We have found this Man a pestilent Fellow and a mover of Sedition among all the Jews throughout the World and a ring-leader of the Sect of the Nazarenes Who also hath gone about to profane the Temple Whom we took and would have judged according to Law And the Jews also assented saying that these things were so Then Paul after that the Governor had beckened unto him to speak answered Acts 24. 5.

To prolong a Cause for Interest is not just to wait for Money where Innocence pleads for a Discharge is not just To gratifie a People by the Oppression of Innocence is not just When Felix heard these things the Plea made by the Apostle having more perfect Knowledge of that Way he deferred them Acts 24. 22. The Clamor and Violence of Accusers prevail nothing with a Judge who has a true Knowledge of the Cause He will not let an ill Name be enough for punishing the Innocent Judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous Judgment Jo. 7. 24. Do ye not know that the Saints shall judge the World And if the World shall be judged by you are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters 1 Cor. 6. 2. Holiness an excellent Preparation for judging according to Justice When Gallio was Deputy of Achaia the Jews made Insurrection with one accord against Paul and brought him to the Judgment-seat saying This Fellow perswadeth Men to worship God contrary to the Law And when Paul was now about to open his Mouth Gallio said unto the Jews If it were a matter of Wrong or wicked Lewdness O ye Jews reason would that I should bear with you But if it be a question of Words and Names and of your Law look ye to it for I will be no Judge of such Matters And he drove them from the Judgment-seat Acts 18. 12. Violence brings some to the Barr who are no Criminals the Justice of the Bench is to distinguish Against Law is in some Cases to be in the right The Bench judges not of Causes which belong to another Court Something may be here inserted out of the Old Testament When Moses Father in-in-law saw all that he did to the People he said what is this thing that thou doest to the People Why sittest thou thy self alone and all the People stand by thee from Morning unto Even Exod. 18. 14. To make the People wait one Day is here reproved what would have been the Censure of Causes delay'd with endless Expence Thou shalt provide out of all the People able Men such as fear God Men of Truth hating Covetousness and place such over them Exod. 18. 21. Good Directions for the Choice of Magistrates Thou shalt not raise or receive a false Report Put not thine Hand with the Wicked to be an unrighteous Witness Thou shalt not follow a Multitude to do Evil Neither shalt thou speak in a Cause to incline after many to wrest Judgment Neither shalt thou countenance a poor Man in his Cause Thou shalt not wrest the Judgment of thy Poor in his Cause Keep thee far from a false Matter and the Innocent and Righteous slay thou not For I will not justifie the Wicked And thou shalt take no Gift for the Gift blindeth the Wise and perverteth the Words of the Righteous Also thou shalt not oppress a Stranger Exod. 23. 1 6.

Judges and Officers shalt thou make thee in all thy Gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee throughout the Tribes and they shall judge the People with just Judgment Thou shalt not wrest Judgment thou shalt respect Persons neither take a Gift For a Gift doth blind the Eyes of the Wise and pervert the Words of the Righteous That which is altogether Just shalt thou follow that thou mayest live and inherit the Land Deut. 16. 18. One VVitness shall not rise up against a Man for any Iniquity or for any Sin in any Sin that he sinneth At the mouth
