Justitia.

_Justice_, 1.
is painted, sitting
on a _square stone_, 2. for
she ought to be immoveable;
_Justitia_, 1.
pingitur, sedens
in _lapide quadrato_, 2. nam
decet esse immobilis;
with _hood-winked eyes_, 3.
that she may not respect
persons;
_stopping the left ear_, 4.
to be reserved
for the other party;
_obvelatis oculis_, 3.
ad non respiciendum
personas;
_claudens aurem sinistram_, 4.
reservandam
alteri parti;
Holding in her right Hand
a _Sword_, 5.
and a _Bridle_, 6.
to punish
and restrain evil men;
Tenens dextrâ
_Gladium_, 5.
& _Frænum_, 6.
ad puniendum
& coërcendum malos;
Besides,
_a pair of Balances_, 7.
in the _right Scale_, 8. whereof
_Deserts_,
and in the _left_, 9.
_Rewards_ being put,
Præterea,
_Stateram_, 7.
cujus _dextræ Lanci_, 8.
_Merita_,
_Sinistræ_, 9.
_Præmia_ imposita,
are made even one with another,
and so good Men
are incited to virtue,
as it were with _Spurs_, 10.
sibi invicem exequantur,
atque ita boni
incitantur ad virtutem,
ceu _Calcaribus_, 10.
In _Bargains_, 11.
let Men deal candidly,
let them stand to their
_Covenants_ and _Promises_;
In _Contractibus_, 11.
candidè agatur:
stetur
_Pactis_ & _Promissis_;
let _that which is given one to keep_,
and _that which is lent_,
be restored:
_Depositum_,
& _Mutuum_,
reddantur:
let no man be _pillaged_, 12.
or _hurt_, 13.
let every one have his own:
these are the precepts
of Justice.
nemo _expiletur_, 12.
aut _lædatur_, 13.
suum cuique tribuatur:
hæc sunt præcepta
Justitiæ.
Such things as these are forbidden
in _God’s 5th._ and _7th._
_Cammandment_,
and deservedly punish’d
on the _Gallows_ and the _Wheel_, 14.
Talia prohibentur,
_quinto_ & _septimo Dei_
_Præcepto_,
& merito puniuntur
_Cruce_ ac _Rotâ_, 14.
