two_o word_n equity_n and_o righteousness_n doeste_n thou_o read_v very_o often_o together_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o esaye_n ix_o esa_n ix_o in_o the_o ix_o he_o shall_v sit_v upon_o the_o

speak_v of_o the_o king_n doom_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o in_o our_o speech_n as_o to_o judge_v righteous_o which_o the_o jew_n do_v pronounce_v with_o two_o word_n and_o yet_o they_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o that_o we_o call_v righteousness_n how_o be_v it_o there_o by_o be_v signifi_v these_o two_o point_n to_o leave_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o to_o do_v that_o which_o

use_v the_o scripture_n these_o two_o word_n judicium_fw-la and_o justitia_fw-la through_o justice_n or_o equity_n do_v god_n punysshe_v that_o be_v he_o put_v away_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a through_o the_o righteousness_n make_v he_o the_o people_n to_o be_v good_a and_o righteous_a and_o preserve_v and_o defend_v innocenrye_n now_o this_o king_n be_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o just_a and_o righteous_a but_o he_o fulfil_v that_o which_o the_o world_n with_o her_o righteousness_n and_o work_n be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v namely_o that_o the_o people_n may_v be_v righteous_a who_o

and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o king_n perform_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v such_o thing_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o he_o be_v very_a god_n sense_n he_o have_v the_o honour_n and_o do_v the_o work_n which_o only_o belong_v to_o god_n now_o then_o if_o he_o can_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o people_n may_v be_v delyver_v from_o their_o sin_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n make_v they_o ryghteous_a then_o can_v he_o also_o soon_o delyver_v they_o from_o death_n for_o where_o as_o be_v no_o sin_n there_o can_v be_v no_o death_n for_o the_o sting_v of_o death_n be_v sin_n as_o paul_n say_v to_o the_o torinthians_n xv_o i_o co._n xv_o i_o cor._n xv_o for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n then_o shall_v death_n have_v not_o may_v nor_o power_v and_o thus_o do_v this_o king_n delyver_v
