Tedious delays make Courts, prisons of righteousness, not habitations of righteousness. Partial distributions show a place to be a market of righteousness (where he shall have it that bid• most for it) not an habitation of righteousness, where every one ought to have it that comes for it; Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgement (saith the Law, Levit. 19.15.) how shall they avoid it? The next words give direction, Thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty. Righteousness takes not notice of the persons of men, but of their causes. We must not do unrighteously in charity to the poor, as well as not in hopes, or for gifts from the rich.

Again, The Hebrew signifies a beautiful habitation. Righteousness loves to dwell in a fair house. It is so, when, first swept from bribes, these are filth in the house, and the corrupters of righteousness.
