From this number they exclude expressly persons over old, deformed, and Eunuchs whom they conclude to be cruel and unmerciful, as Claudian doth,

Adde quod Eunuchus nulla pietate movetur Nec generi natisve cavet, clementia cunctis In similes, animosque ligant consortia damni. Mercy from Eunuchs is removed away, No care of Race or Children doth them sway; This only renders men compassionate, When misery is known their common fate.

§ 17 The power of this Court was great, yea, supreme many times in all things among the people; and at all times in most things of concernment. All great Persons and weighty Causes were judged by them. When a whole Tribe offended, or an High Priest, or a King of the House of David, by these were their Causes heard and determined. They had power also to determine about Lawful War. They had two sorts of War, [Greek or Hebrew], Commanded War. Such they esteemed War against the Nations of Canaan, against Amaleck, against any Nation that oppressed Israel in their own Land; and this kind of War, the King at any time of his own accord might engage in. And they had [Greek or Hebrew], War permitted only; as War for security and enlargement of Territories, which could not be engaged in at any time, but by consent, and upon the Judgement of this Court. The Enlargement of the City of Jerusalem, the reparation of the Temple, and the Constitutions of Courts of Judicature in other Cities, belonged also unto them. In a word they were to judge in all hard Cases upon the Law of God.
