5. Both parties must be bound, at least by promise,1 to stand to the determination which he shall make. Such a one is a Days-man among men: who is also called a Compromiser, and his work, the Compromising of a matter, because as he is elected by a the mutual consent, so confirmed by the mutual promise of those who are at variance, to reconcile them, and take up their differences. Now, saith Job, as there is no Judge, so there is no Days-man betwixt me and God.
