The City of God is a philosophical treatise by the philosopher, Saint Augustine. It was written to demonstrate that people need government because they are sinful, which served as a model for church-state relations in medieval times.
False it was written by St Augustine, bishop of Hippo, on the occasion of the fall of Rome (410).

Justice, according to Augustine, is one of the four virtues-- all of which are different forms of loving God. They are: Justice, Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude. "Justice is that virtue which to each give his due" I think Augustine means to say that everything happens for reason. For example, if a town is flooded by deep water, it might be because the city was in need of punishment. Augustine goes on to say that true justice can only take place in the Heavenly City of God. It is all a bit ambiguous. P.S. I just dug a little deeper, and in The City og God, Augustine says perfect justice is being able to love things (and god) according to their merit. In other words, do not love money or your children with the same love you give to god. Augustine says that there are two types of love, enjoyment love, and use love. We love god with enjoyment love, we love money with use love. But when we love money with enjoyment love or vice versa- this is injustice. Hope this helps.
The two words are Under God.

Most likely, the Church represents the City of God. But more generally, people who love God according to the highest type of love are the people of the City of God. You might say that according to St. Augustine, Christians represent the City of God on earth.
Cotton Mather's sermon "God's City America" is written in a style that reflects his Puritan beliefs and emphasizes the idea of America as a chosen land by God. Mather uses biblical references and imagery to portray America as a holy city and encourages its inhabitants to follow righteous ways to maintain God's favor. The sermon also highlights the necessity of piety and moral purity for the success and prosperity of the American colonies.
