Secondly, Let wicked men who have to deal with Gods people, 1when any of the Saints of God are under their power, let them take heed how they use them; For they are Sons; they are not Slaves, they are the Sons of the eternal God, in Jer. 2. 14. Is Israel a Servant? is he a home-born Slave? why is 2he spoiled? How comes it to pass that Israel is dealt withal so as he is? What, is not Israel a Son?

- 2Jer. 2. 14.
When as any of the people of God are under the power of any men, God looks upon them as Sons, and if they 1deal hardly with them God will enquire and will say thus, Is such a one a slave? had he been a slave I would not so much have cared for your dealings thus with him, but he is a Son. You find in the Acts that they were afraid when they heard that Paul was a Roman. When thou knowest thou hast to deal with a Son of God, know that thou hast not so much liberty to misuse him as thou hast to misuse another man, though no liberty to misuse any.
