The Text is a clear mirror, and glass of justice, wherein you have all the necessaries requisite to a righteous action; There is Justus, the person righteous; justum, the matter and fact righteous; and jus•è, this righteous fact done righteously.
THe Text is a cleare mirror, and glasse of justice, wherein you have all the necessaries requisite to a righteous action; There is Justus, the person righteous; justum, the matter and fact righteous; and jus•è, this righteous fact done righteously.
The righteous person is described, by his name Phinehas; It is not worth the while to meddle in the dispute amongst Popish Authors, whether because of the promise made to him, Numb. 25. to wit, A Covenant of peace for ever, that therefore Phinehas be yet alive, and kept till the day of judgement; as they conceive of Enoch.
Secondly, The just Actions are two; First, He stood up; howsoever this word be used for those that minister and serve; therefore the Angels are called (Zach. 3.) Standers; yet in other places ⟨p. 2⟩it doth denote Firmness, and Stability; Hence the word that signifies a Pillar, cometh from this root. Ezekiel 22. Can thy heart endure? in the Hebrew, Can it stand? And thus here it implies, the Courage, the Fervency, and Zeal of Phinehas. The second just Action is, he executed justice. Some read, he prayed; and so the Chaldee Paraphrase; the root in the Original doth indeed in one Conjugation signify to praise, but in the other which is here in the Text, it signifies to adjudge, and to condemn; for so Phinehas did both judge, and execute this judgement! therefore Gregory Nyssen calls him, both the Judge and the Executioner.
