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.
Q. 8. What's the third thing forbidden in this Command?
A. It forbids all unlawful Weights and Measures, which is no better than Theft in Gods account, Mic. 6.10, 11. Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
