In some acts you shall find men very just, and take them in other acts and there they will be false enough. But now, It should be our care, to be as it's said of God in Jer. 50. 6, 7. God is said there to be the habitation of Justice, so it should be in the Courts of Justice, there should be the habitation of Justice. Perhaps sometimes, in some one Cause a man may have Justice in a Court: 1yea, but if it be not so in all Causes, at all times, there is not the keeping of Justice; Justice should be always at home: sometimes you may come to a Court and not find Justice at home, but it's gone abroad, but it should be always the habitation of Judgment. And so it should be in Families, and in particular Persons; It may be at some times thou wert just in thy ways, yea, but then thou haddest not a temptation, the temptation came not 2for unjust dealing: There are some men that by a temptation are brought to such unjust dealing, that if a man should have said some divers years ago, that thou wouldest have done such things, you would have been ready to think, Am I a dog, that I should do such things? but now, when a man is once engaged in any unjust way, then he must go on: and therefore keep Judgment. It follows; Keep Judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
