A Ristides was so famous amongst the Athenians for his Justice,* 1.1 that he was called Aristides the just; when two came before him, said he that accu∣sed the other, O Aristides this Man did you such an injury at such a time, as thinking by such a suggestion to have made him partiall in the businesse; Whereunto Aristides made answer, Friend I sit not here to hear what he hath done against me,
but what he hath done against thee. O that Christians were so famous for holinesse and Justice,* 1.2 that it might be said, There's such an one, The humble; such an one, The meek; such an one, The holy; such an one, The just; such an one, The patient; It could have been said so of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Iob, &c. And why should not every Man strive to be the like?
