Let no man defraud his brother, neither by false weight, nor by false measure, nor by lying words. Let your measures, & weights, & words be true: let your gains be just & true, that God may bless them. His blessing will make you rich, and whatsoever he blesseth not, shall wast & consume, and do you no good. Do unto others as you would they should do unto you. This is true dealing and upright.

If thou speak more than is true, if thou take more than thy ware is worth, thy conscience knoweth it is none of thine. God will destroy all the workers of iniquity. He that delighteth in sin, hateth his own soul. The mouth that accustometh to lie, slayeth the soul.
If thou speake more than is true, if thou take more than thy ware is worth, thy conscience knoweth it is none of thine. God will destroy al the workers of iniquitie. He that delighteth in sin, hateth his owne soule. The mouth that accustometh to lie, slayeth the soule.
Defraud not thy brother: he is thy brother, whether he be rich or poor: he is thy brother, and the Son of God. Wilt thou do wrong to thy brother? wilt thou oppress the son of God, and yea even in the sight of god? God is his father, he will not leave it unpunished in thee. If he be simple and unskilful, abuse not his simplicity. God is the God of righteousness. Deal justly, ⟨p. 112⟩
