Then Justus answered What more bav? ye to do but to make the saqie person bothaccuser and wit ness But the people objected and said If no one accuses but those who tnay happen to be present at the time and see the offence actually committed convictions will indeed be more certain but infor mations and accusations will be proportionably few er? That will certainly be the case? replied Jus tus if ye depend as hitherto on chance witnesses Such witnesses may indeed answer tolerably well among heathen ana semi barbarous nations bnt afe totally unsuited to the wants of a highly civilized andchristian society ye must therefore no longer depend upon them but epjploy hired persons whose duty it shall be first to witness the offence sec ondly to inform against the offender and accuse him before the judge and thirdly to prove the truth of their own charge by their own oath on the' holy book of our Then all the people cried out foe Christian Aristides! behold the Christian Aristides And while they vied with each other who should praise Justus most Liber said hafoindeed spoken well what persons are sb fit and proper to perform the double office of informer and witness as ourpeaceoffi cers for they are already practised in the first of those offices and it is easy for them to learn the second Let us therefore greatly increase their number and let us station in all foe streets and at tho doors of alHour houses and let them watch what every man does and where every man goes and let them listen to what every man says and then ifany man commits an offence there will be ready bn the spot' not only an accuser and a wit ness but also an officer to' take foim into custody so shall no man And still further peace officers being the servants of the judge nnd bound to obey his orders in all things ye shall by this arrangement give the judge that salutary con trol over both the accuserjand the witness which is so indispensable to the due administration of justice and especially to the conviction and punishment of accused persons? 5 Then the chief of the peace officers rose and said advice both of Justus and Liber ia good and I recommend you to adopt it without dely and ye shall have every assistance both from nnd fmm judges who are over tne and from the peace officers who are me for the greater the1 number of informations and convictions the greater is the re ward of each and all of us there is still one thing necessary to give efficiency both to what ye have done already and to what Justus and Liber ad vise you further to do? And when al! the people cried1 What is it? what is the Chief of the peace officer answered Notwithstanding all your laws apd all your judges and all your peace officers and allyour soldiers with their bludgeons and their swords and their bayonets and their guns and their pistols and their cannon offenders will still escape unless you command us to circumvent them by arti fice and by fraud and by lying Siand bynreachery and to employ practices against them more wicked in the sight of God than those breaches ofyour laws for which ye aesire to bring them to judgment Then the people answered not the endsanc 7 tify the means? And is it not lawful to do evil that good may come? Therefore make haste nnd do as thou sayest and take sheed no man escapeth elsethou shall be superseded and another Chief of the peace officers be appointed in thy So the Chief of the peace officers did as the peo ple oft those islands desired and greatly multiplied the number ofthe officers under him' and stationed them in all the streets and before all the And they watched every man both' day and night bofo when he went in and when he 'came out and they wore disguisesand forged certificates' by means pt which they obtained entrance into foe interior of nOURAR and Mtama a xL 1 7 mosc secret jI? uMHiivr vi aruuce ana A of manner of treachery to enmn? tnA 'tmwflMs 1 vmvmmvu mu svuuu Luey naa ther lid hold oir him and made A WORD 5' jCONTINUATIQN Qg MflriS 3 1 77' people fdrawafo unto withfoT mooth and horioretli me with their dips 'heart i for from me 57 Arid foe'peope bf thowiilajjJ" book of their religion these commasof foeir Gprd land Saviour' Jesus Christ I not that yebe riotW for wIth what judgment ye judge ye ll be judged and with I what measure ye measured to you Jjktiithey read trespass against ktn and if he repent forgive him nnd lift trespa against thee seven times in a day and seven in 'a' day turn again to thee saying I ffepenthou shalt forgive I id again they read 1 Peter came to the Lord arid paid Lord how oft shall sin against inend I forgive him till seven times Jesus saith ninto fiirri I say not unto thee until seven times but until seventy times seven?

And when the people of those islands 7read 'allthese commaridments in the holy book of their relig ion and perceived that the Lord had strictly forbid den his' disciples to judge' and hadtaken vengeance into his own hands saying geance is mine I will repay saith the Lord theywfere sorely perplexed and murmured saying is A harH tiincr tn lot tho rni1tv oarnnra Then one of them whose name was Justus and who tyas celebratedamong all the people of those islands for his wisdom and knowledge said Not withstanding we areChristians there are so many guilty among us that we must have judgment arid punishment as if we were heathens else our society cannot exist even for a single day? And another of them whose name was Liber and who was as celebrated among the people of those islands for his Christian faith and charity as Justus was for his wisdom and knowledge said We know that the Lord will certainly judge and punish the guilty at the last day but lest that punishment should be less than their iniquities deserve let us punish them also So shall the hearts of the evil doersbe struck with terror for every man shall be punished twice once by us and again by the Lord? And another of them whose name was Clemens said How know we that the Lord will certainly Sunish the 4 guilty at the last day for his name is lercy and he hath declared that he will par don to the uttermost even at the eleventh hour Let us therefore make haste and punish the guilty while we have them here with us lest peradventure they escape punishment altogether? But some of them objected and said Whether will ye listen to what these men say or to the Lord who saith Ye shall not judge your brother that of fendth but shall forgive him even to the seventieth time and if ye do not neither will I forgive you Then Justus said Simple minded like sheep Know ye not that it iseasy to do both the one andthe other both to follow the word of God and the wisdom of menf both to forgive and at the sametime to as itye had not forgiven fore let every man who has a quarrel or ah offence against his neighbor first forgive him and then de liver him to the officer and let the officer fforgive him arid deliver him to the judge and let the judge forgive him and deliver him to the executioner and let the executioner forgive him and execute the sentence upon him: so shall ye enjoy the sweetness of punishing and the reward which the Lord hath promised to forgiving? Then 11 the people applauded and said We will do even so we will forgive as becometh the disciples of Christ and we will judge and punish as if we had nqt And straightway they made arrangements on the most Extensive scale that everyfoan might certainly be brought to judg ment for every offence which he committed and? they appointed different kinds of judges for the dif ferent kinds of offences greater judges for the great er offences and lesser judges for the lessand there jwas no offence so 'small that there was not a iudwe to judge judgment they called justice and the officers whom they appoiiited JtQeizeoffenders nd to bring' them 'Tielore the ia the peace officers were all arm red with deadly weapons with which they assaulted I and sometimes killed those who refused to go quiet 's Jy with them to be judged And if any persons joined those who were accused of offences and help ed them to resist the peace officers the judges? or dered out the soldiers 'which the of those islands kept for the purpose of killing their enemies' and commanded them to fall upon those persons and 1 to shoot and stab and utterly destroy them in the same way as' shot and stabbed and destroyed the enemies ofthe country And both the judges who gave these orders and foe soldiers who obey ed them were the brethren in Christ of those whom they killed for taking part with the accused against the peace officers ana used to go down on their knees every morning and every evening before foe Moat High God and solemnly promise to live in love and peace and charity with all men judging man but forgiving every man his neighbor even as they prayed that God for sake might for give them ti And the number of those who were brought to judgment in those islands increased daily for not only were those brought to judgment who had not repented but those also who had repented not only those who had offended knowing thedaw but those also who had offended from ignorance of it whether that ignorance arose from neglect or from the diffi culty or impossibility of kqowing the law they were all judged and punished And the people of those islands took more pleas ure in reading foe accounts of the offences which their brethien in Christ had committed than in any other kind of reading and they employed persons to attend in all the halls of judgment5 for the pur pose ot taking the most precise and particular ac counts of all the proceedings in those halls and the names and addresses of all the persons who were judged and a of their persons and of their occupations and the names of their family con nexions and kindred and these accounts were pub lished every day and were eagerly read by the peo ple of those islands every morning as soon as they had risen up from their morning prayers and every evening before their evening prayers to that merci ful God who had commanded them saying hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy eye? And by these means the shatne and the disgrace of every man who had committed an offence became immediately known to ma ureuiren ana ne was pointed at witn foe nn ner of scorn so that his feelings were irritated and he bated those who scorned him? So? scorn bn the one sideb and hatred' on the other arnan hpfwnn those who were inhabitants of the same and of foe same city and who were friends and re latives and brethren in Christ 4 And many of those who were Judged and punish ed were so injured in their worldly circumstances both by the nature of the punishment itself and by foe shame and the disgrace attendant onit that they became unable to support themselves by any lawful trade or occupation and were necessitated either to becom paupers or to resort to unlawful occupations by which iuey became subject to new judgments and punishments until at last they became reckless and desperate and both they and their innocent families were totally and irretrievably ruined" 'And the people of these islands took every da more a nd more delight in judging and punishing one another And they said us make aIaw that no ijnan shall overlook or pass bv an injury even al ihe the only person injured? And mntSnn nd every man to give infor honnit him inJuly which he and feZr he tenuer to the uttermost And foe people of those Wands said agood lay and in accordance with foe mild and trier ciful spirit of the gosoel of Christ Jesus let us foerel fore make another law to compel every man even 4 although he is not injured himself to give informa Jtion ifhe sees his neighbor breaking any of the laws tor regulations which we have made? AnH so and then if any man saw his brother in Christ meeting Pentatfoe most secretoffending aud did not give information he was all maerf i i commit foe greatest offences becauseit is theywho.
