Justice and equality in distributive law across ranks

The text argues from ancient legislators and Moses that justice requires equal treatment under law, with no special favor for the powerful or well connected. It notes that all subjects, rich or poor, must face penalties for breaches, and that magistrates must act as guardians of this equality, regardless of status. It also references the fate of an Earl and a noble branch punished by the sovereign, illustrating that noble privilege cannot shield from judgment.
