In the corrupted currents of this word offence's gilded hand may solve by justice, and oft, tis seen the wicked prize itself buys out the law: but 'tis not so above; There is no shuffling, there the action lies in his true nature; And we ourselves

Summary

This quote suggests that in the world, injustice can often be enabled and solved by bribes or manipulation. However, it emphasizes that in higher realms, such as moral or spiritual realms, there is no room for such cunning tactics. Actions and their consequences are judged purely based on their intrinsic nature, without the ability to deceive or manipulate. Thus, the quote encourages a recognition of the difference between earthly justice, which can be compromised, and ultimate justice, which is untainted and unfaltering.
