I have seen, from the iteration of a man's name, hiding one thought of him, and explaining what you hide by saying something to his advantage when you speak, a merchant hurt in his credit.-Spectator, No. 118.

But it is only a pious life, led exactly by the rules of a severe religion, that can authorize a man's conscience to speak comfortably to him.

Pleasantness, delightfulness.

For the act of laughter, which is a sweet contraction of the muscles of the face, and a pleasant agitation of the vocal organs, is not meerly voluntary, or totally within the jurisdiction of ourselves; but as it may be constrained by corporal contraction in any, and hath been inforced in some even in their death, so the new, unusual, or unexpected jucundities, which present themselves to any man in his life, at some time or other will have activity enough to excitate the earthiest soul, and raise a smile from most composed tempers.-Brown.

For that which properly discriminates the Christian religion from the natural or judaical, is the holding of Christ's deity, and his satisfaction naturally consequent upon it. South, vol. ix. Ser. 8.

It is to your condemnation, and to your ignomynie, that you doe exercise iudiciais among you.

Barnes. Workes, p. 209. Oration judiciall is an earnest debating in open assemblie of some weightie matter before a judge.

Wilson. Arte of Rhetorique, p. 87. Pride is soon discernable, but not easily judicable. Bp. Taylor, vol. i. Ser. 5. But, however, so long as that distinction remains, of sins into death, and sins not unto death, there are a certain sort of sins which are remediable, and cognoscible, and judicable, and a power was dispensed to a distinct sort of persons, to emit or retain those sins.-Id. Office Ministerial.

He who had power to admonish, had also power to reject n an authoritative or judicatory way.

This Prince [William I.] was rather made to surmount all dangers he encountered by brave actions and judicious councils, than either to invite or anticipate his misfortunes by distrust and vain apprehensions, which are but the distractions of weak and timorous minds.

The parliaments were not wholly free from faction, I admit; but this evil was exterior and accidental, and not so much the vice of their constitution itself, as it must be in your new contrivance of sexennial elective judicatories. Burke. On the French Revolution.

The original power of judicature, by the fundamental principles of society, is lodged in the society at large; but as it would be impracticable to render complete justice to every individual, by the people in their collective capacity, therefore every nation has committed that power to certain select magistrates, who with more ease and expedition can hear and determine complaints; and in England this authority has immemorially been exercised by the king or his substitutes.-Blackstone. Commentaries, b. i. c. 7.

In this distinct and separate existence of the judicial power in a peculiar body of men, nominated indeed, but not removeable at pleasure, by the crown, consists one main preservative of the public liberty, which cannot subsist long in any state, unless the administration of common justice be in some degree separated both from the legislative and

also from the executive power.-Id. Ib.

It is true, the terms of jury and verdict were introduced by the Normans, with many others in the style and practice of our laws; but the trials by twelve men, with that essential circumstance of their unanimous agreement, was not only used among the Saxons and Normans, but is known to

JU'STNESS.

Fr. Juste; It. Giusto; Sp. Justo; Lat. Justus, which Vossius derives from jus, and Tooke from jub-ere, Jusjussus, to command. tum, just,

Commanded, (sc.) by the laws of God; by the laws of human authorities acting in conformity to those of God, as manifested in the nature of man. And, consequentially, our notions of just depending upon our inter

pretation of those laws;

A just man is one who acts, in a manner,-and a just action that, which is—

Obedient and conformable (in the words of Hooker, b. i. s. 16,) to "the Law, which He [God] hath made for His creatures to keepe; the Law whereunto by the light of reason men finde themselues bound in that they are men; the Law which they make by composition for multitudes and politique societies of men to be guided by; the Law which belongeth vnto each nation; the Law that concerneth the fellowship of all; and lastly, the Law which God Himselfe hath supernaturally revealed." It is equivalent, in common speech, to

Equitable, honest, righteous, upright, fair, virtuous, incorrupt.

Any thing may be said to be just, which is conformable to or consistent with established enactment or usage; proportionate or adapted to usual standard; and, thus, regular, proportionate, accurate, exact.

Justice, justicer, justiciary,-one who administers or is appointed to administer justice, law.

To justify, (juste fieri,)—to be or become or cause to be just; to do or cause to do justly; to free or clear, or absolve from injustice,-from charged or imputed injustice, wrong, guilt, sin; to affirm, prove or shew to be just; to vindicate.

Would it be a reasonable excuse for such a ruler to say, that one of these ind received sufficient punishinent in the very commission of such crimes; and that the other had a sufficient reward, both of doing his duty, and in his suffering for it!

Justice is twofold, namely general or strict justice, which consists in observing the laws, and the aim of which is public good; and particular justice or equity, which aims at the good of individuals, and is then observed, when ene obtains no more good, and suffers no more evil, than is agreeable to humanity and common sense.
