Thirdly, We must hold to truth, in opposition to or notwithstanding the hatred of men; suppose a man bears us ill will, yea in other things hath wronged us, yet if his present cause be ⟨p. 122⟩righteous, we must do him right: We may not bring in our particular wrongs or quarrels upon any cause, but that about which the wrong or quarrel riseth. They show the purest love to righteousness, who act righteously towards those that hate them, and will not wrong those who have attempted to oppress and ruin them. A true lover of Justice will do to others as himself would have others do to him, yea though they have not done to him, as they would be done to.

But O how poor are they in spirituals and morals, who thus respect the persons of the rich!
