Go to you rich men, weep and howl, for the miseries that shall come upon you. Your Riches are corrupted, and your Garments moth-eaten. Your Gold and Silver is cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Behold, the hire of the Labourers, which have reaped down your Fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them that have reaped, are entered into the Ears of the Lord of the Sabbath. Ye have condemned and killed the Just, and he doth not resist you, James 5.1, 2, 3, 4, 6. Those sins that are crying, and do more especially require Vengeance at the hands of God, and provoked Divine Justice to take notice of them, are sins of Commission. ⟨p. 198⟩As Murder, Gen 4.10. The Voice of thy Brothers blood crieth to me from the ground. Sodomy, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, because their sin is grievous, Gen. 18.20. Oppression of Gods Servants, Exod. 3.7. or of any Widows or Fatherless. If thou afflict the Widow and the Fatherless, and they cry unto me: I will surely hear their cry, for I am gracious, Exod. 22.23. Or of any Poor and Needy, as in the Text of James 5.4. The cry of the Labourers are entered into the Ears of the Lord.
