But it may be objected, Why then are so many poor without their right? If the Lord giveth right, and giveth it continually, and impartially, why do the poor cry, and sigh, and groan, and mourn? why see we so many tears of the poor? If they have right, why do they complain?
I answer,
First, The Lord giveth right to the poor, sometimes, when the poor perceive it not. (Psal. 97.2.) Clouds and darkness are round about him, Righteousness and Judgement are the habitation of his Throne. When a man cannot see the Lord doing right, yet the Lord doth right. The Sun shineth when eclipsed or covered with a Cloud. The Lord never ceaseth to right the poor, though neither poor nor rich perceive how, or which way he doth it.
