4. God is impartial in giving judgement. He doth not strike one and spare another, who is under the same condemnation; nothing can sway or bias him, nothing can preponderate the balance of justice in his hand; you cannot put in any consideration to sway his beam, beside the right.

There are three things which usually cause men to pervert justice, The Lord is free from them all.
1. Fear of greatness. Some would do justice, but they dare not, the business concerns a great man, and to do justice upon such, is, To take a Bear by the tooth (as we say) or to play with the paw of a Lion. Now the Lord is not turned away for fear, nor defers he justice for any mans big looks, The day of the Lord (saith the Prophet, Isa. 2.) shall be against the high Oaks. He is Ell-Shaddai, the All-mighty, the all-powerful God, and therefore cares not for the might or power of man.
