¹A Like sentence useth Christ, Math 23. saying: These things it behoved you had done, and not have omitted or left undone the other. So here also he requireth both justice, and not exact justice, so that thou shouldest be neither too remiss, nor too precise. Sometimes dissemble the laws & equity, as though thou were wicked. Sometime again, lay hold on the law, and show thy self just. But remember that Solomon speaketh not here of such justice as is required of every person, as was said before, but of civil and politic justice, which is not before God, but in governing of others, and before the world. For in personal and particular justice there can not be too much.

¹A Lyke sentēce vseth Christ, Math 23. saying: These thinges it behoued you had done, and not haue omitted or left vndone the other. So here also he requireth bothe iustice, and not exacte iustice, so that thou shouldest be neyther too remisse, nor too precise. Sometimes dissemble the lawes & equitie, as though thou were wicked. Sometyme agayne, lay holde on the lawe, and shew thy selfe iust. But remember that Salomon speaketh not here of such iustice as is requyred of euery person, as was sayd before, but of ciuile and politike iustice, which is not before God, but in gouerning of others, and before the worlde. For in personall and particular iustice there cā not be too much.
