Sermons preached

3. Opera Justitiae, Works of Righteousness and Justice; to hurt none, to give every one his Due, to use Fidelity in our Relations, Acts 24. 16. The Credit of Religion is much concerned in the just dealing of them that profess it. God will have the World to know that Religion is a good Friend to Human Society. Neh. 5. 9. Ought ye not to walk in the Fear of our God, because of the Reproach of the Heathen our Enemies? This was the Primitive Glory of Christianity; Dent Exercitum talem, tales Exactors fisci, &c. Some carry it so that they deal with God's Commandments, as Hanun with David's Messengers, as if they had cut off the whole second Table, and so prove a Stain and Blot to Religion. In short, they that do not make Conscience of paying their Debts, and using Justice, Equity, and Honesty in all their Dealings, they are Robbers, Thieves and Enemies to Human Society.
