They love to oppress: (that is) The poor of their wages.1
- 1Expos.
There are many poor men that are servants to you that are Merchants, and Trades-men, they live upon their 1labour, and they must come and fetch Commodities of 2you, that they must live by; now you knowing their necessity that they must have your work, therefore you beat down their wages, and not give unto them according as they may maintain their families: you will say, I do not wrong them, If he doth not, another will, I but that will not serve the turn.
