He is not worthy the name of a man that hateth right. When the Prophet Elisha told Hazael what strange things he should do, what havoc he should make in the world, he said (2 King. 9.13.) But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? as if he had said, to do such a thing, renders a man as vile and contemptible as a dog: 'Tis a piece of unrighteousness to reckon or number them among men, who are haters of that righteousness which should be exercised among men, and is the preservation of mankind; not to honour righteousness is a hateful thing, not to do right at all times, and in all things, is a hateful thing; what is it then to hate right? How justly hateful are Justice haters!

Some may say, are there any indeed so bad as to hate right?
I answer, First, There are some who profusedly, plainly, with a bold and bare face hate the right; there is in all natural men a seed of this hatred, The wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God; and surely, if it be enmity against God, it must needs be enmity against all that is good; now as there is a seed of that enmity in every man's nature, so there will be the workings and fruits of that enmity in many mens lives.
