That whereas there should be Righteousness, Equity, and Justice, as it's expected: behold instead of this there springs up a crop of Oppression, Unrighteousness, and Injustice that is bitter as Hemlock; I rather think that this must be the meaning,1 because I find that in divers Scriptures Injustice is compared to bitter things, yea, to Hemlock its self, in Amos, 5. 7. Ye turn Judgment to Wormwood, and leave off Righteousness in the Earth. And in Amos, 6. 12. Shall Horses run upon the Rock? will one plough there with Oxen? I will not stand to open the former text, but you see the Scripture charges the people by this expression, of sinning against Judgment and Righteousness, that they turned it to Hemlock.
