Q. 7. What's the second thing forbidden in this Command?
A. It forbids all exaction and oppression of our Neighbour, by going beyond them, or working on their necessities, or detaining their dues; Lev. 25.14. And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or burest ought of thy neighbours hand, ye shall not oppress one another. Prov. 24.28, 29. Be not a witness against thy ⟨p. 145⟩neighbour without cause: and deceive not with thy lips. Say not, I will do so to him, as he hath done to me. I will render to the man according to his work.
