Fifthly, I was careful to maintain their honour as my people, 1(that is) in all my dealings with them, though they were hard sometimes to flesh and blood, yet I put a difference between them and other people; other people were to me in comparison but as dogs (as it were) but these as men, and as free men, in Jer. 2. 14. Is Israel a Servant? 2is he a home born Slave? why is he spoiled? What, Israel a servant, a home-born Slave! no, he must be looked upon as a free man. So in Isa. 27. 7. hath he 3smitten him, as he smote those that smit him? No, I look upon them with some different respect, and as men, and as Free-men, and deal with them so.
