To this purpose Gerrara shows that this Synedrion was chosen of the chief men of Israel, in whom was power of judging controversies, exercising of public justice, yea of choosing and deposing Kings; And ⟨p. 27⟩therefore of the Talmodist, this Council was called the house2 of Judgement, or the house of the Sceptre and public Authority.

I press not so much as these Authors speak of; But whether there were not in those times of David Officiari• Regns, with were not merely designed by the King: and what inference I do make from thence let Conscience judge.
