2. Going upon the principle that all Justice is of the nature of _equality_, and is therefore relative to _another_, we arrive at the definition of _general justice_, which is all virtue whatsoever, inasmuch as it bears upon another person than him who practises it. This Justice is perfect social virtue, the crown and perfection of all virtue from a statesman's point of view; and in that aspect, as Aristotle says, "neither morning star nor evening star is so beautiful." Whoever has this virtue behaves well, not by himself merely, but towards others--a great addition. Many a one who has done well enough as an individual, has done badly in a public capacity: whence the proverb, that office shows the man. This Justice may well be called _another man's good_: though not in the sense of the sophists of old, and the altruists of our time, that virtue is a very good thing for everyone else than its possessor. Virtue, like health, may be beneficial to neighbours, but the first benefit of it flows in upon the soul to whom it belongs: for virtue is the health of the soul. 3. Another elementary notion of Justice connects it with Law, taking Justice to be conformity to Law. This notion exhibits _legal justice_, which is the same thing, under another aspect, as the _general justice_ mentioned above, inasmuch as _general justice_ includes the exercise of all virtues in so far as they bear upon the good of others: and the law, to which _legal justice_ conforms a man, enjoins acts of all virtues for the common good. It must be observed, however, that though there is no natural virtue of which the law of man may not prescribe some exercise, still no human law enjoins all acts of all virtues, not even all obligatory acts. A man may fail in his duty though he has kept all the laws of man. In order then that _legal justice_ may include the whole duty of man, it must be referred to that natural and eternal law of God, revealed or unrevealed, of which we shall speak hereafter. By being conformed to this divine law a man is a _just man_, a _righteous man_. It is this sense of Justice that appears in the theological term, _justification_. In this sense, Zachary and Elizabeth "were both just before God, walking in all the commandments of the Lord without blame." (St. Luke i. 6.)
