2. Hope of reward, that's another thing which causeth many to pervert judgement. With some their hope is stronger then their fear: They care not for the greatness of men, but they hope for gain. A bribe taken or promised clogs and obstructs the course of justice (Hos. 4.14.) Her Rulers with shame do love, Give ye; the Hebrew is, Her shields, Magistrates should be as shields to the people to protect them, but what did they? They love, Give ye, that ⟨p. 17⟩word pleased them. They were more pleased with receiving rewards, then with doing right. The Lord is above all gifts, he is Shaddai, he hath all in himself, and needs not that any should give unto him; and he tells them expressly (Ezek. 7.19.) That their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of his wrath; offer thousands of silver and gold, he will not stay judgement a minute for it, Prov. 11.4. Riches profit not in the day of wrath; In the day of mans wrath they sometimes will, but never in the day of Gods.
