Thirdly, Note.
Oppression will quickly cause a Cry.
(Isa: 5.7.) I looked for Judgement, but behold oppression, and for righteousness, and behold a cry; that is, the cry of the oppressed. As the act of oppression is a crying sin, so the effect of it is crying; Oppression crieth loud, though the oppressed shut their mouths in silence and say nothing, yet usually the oppressed cannot forbear crying. The Apostle James (Chap: 5.3.) schools the wicked rich men of the world, with, a Go to now weep and howl, &c. Your riches are corrupt, and your garments moth-eaten; ⟨p. 721⟩Behold the hire of the labourers which have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth, and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. As the poor labourers cried, so their hire that was detained cried also. The loud cry both of the oppressed and of oppression is often reported and recorded in Scripture, read (Exod: 2.23. Lam: 1.17. Chap: 2.18. Psal: 86.14.) The oppressed who cry are in a sad condition, but the condition of oppressors who make the poor cry is much more sad; For, as the text hath it, The cry of the poor cometh up to God.
