Yea he that oppresseth or reproacheth him wrongeth his Protector: (It is a wrong to the Prince for any man to meddle with those whom he hath undertaken to protect:) who will not suffer such wrong therefore to go unrevenged; it were against his own honour. nRemove not the ancient bound, saith Solomon, nor encroach upon the fields of the Fatherless: For their Redeemer is mighty; (though they be feeble themselves) and he will maintain their cause against thee. And again, oRob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in judgement: For the Lord himself will plead their cause; and he will spoil the soul of such as spoil them.
Yea he that oppresseth or reproacheth him wrongeth his Protectour: (It is a wrong to the Prince for any man to meddle with those whom hee hath vndertaken to protect:) who will not suffer such wrong therefore to go vnreuenged; it were against his owne honour. nRemoue not the auncient bound, saith Salomon, nor encroach vpon the fields of the Fatherlesse: For their Redeemer is mightie; (though they be feeble themselues) and he will maintaine their cause against thee. And againe, oRob not the poore, because he is poore; neither oppresse the afflicted in iudgement: For the Lord himselfe will plead their cause; and he will spoile the soule of such as spoile them.
