They are the worst sort of wicked who make poor men cry.
They are the worst sort of wicked who make poore men cry.
Oppression is a sin against the light and law of nature, as well as against the light and law of God; every sin is the more sinful, by how much it is committed against more light of any kind, or against more kinds of light; And those sins are extremely high, which are committed against the lowest and most common light, that of Nature. They who sin against the light of grace, against the light of the Spirit, sin (as the Prophet speaks, Hos: 6.7.) like men, but they who sin against the light of nature, sin as if they were not so much as men but very beasts, yea worse then many beasts, there being scarce any of them who (as oppressors do) devour those of their own kind, though of some of them it be said and experienced (especially of the fishes in the Sea) that the Greater devour the less, as the mighty men of whom Elihu spake did the poor, causing their cry to come up unto God.
