And does not reason confirm the same truth? For, 1st, if God be not just, whence is there any justice? Either there would be no justice at all, or if there was any, it would not proceed from God; or if it did, it must proceed from one who had none; each of which particulars is absurd.
Besides, 2d, inasmuch as the Lord is governor of the whole universe, he would degenerate into a tyrant if he was not just; and, 3d, seeing Jehovah is judge of all the earth, how could he judge aright without being just himself? Neither can it be otherwise but that God should be just, seeing that he is absolutely perfect. All confess justice to be an excellency, involving no imperfection in it, and therefore it cannot bet wanting to that being, who is absolutely and infinitely perfect.
