God himself is styled, The habitation of righteousness, because he (in a way of highest excellency, or in the most superlative degree) is the seat of righteousness; all righteousness is (as it were) ⟨p. 45⟩housed, and dwelling in him. The Prophet (Jer. 50.7.) describing the unkind usage which the true worshippers should find in the days of which he prophesieth; speaks thus, All that found them have devoured them, and their adversaries said, we offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord: They thought their brethren had sinned against the Lord, and that therefore they might trouble them without sin; They have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers. It is but justice (say they) for us to punish those, who sin against the habitation of justice. Men (take it in passage) do evil sometimes out of conscience, and think they do God good service, while they really wrong their brethren.
