This particular Charge consists of two heads.
First, Sins against man; Secondly, Sins against God; His supposed sins against man, contained in the words now read, are of two sorts; First, Sins of commission, or of the evil which he had done; Secondly, Sins of omission, or of the good that he had not done. The evil which he chargeth ⟨p. 34⟩him to have done, is twofold; first, an act of injustice, taking a pledge, in the sixth verse; secondly, an act of uncharitableness, stripping the naked, in the same verse.

Both which evils, or miscarriages towards the honest poor are aggravated (ver. 8th) by his undue connivance at the wicked rich; as he was too severe against the poor, so he was over-favourable towards the great, and mighty; But as for the mighty man he had the earth, and the honourable man be dwelt in it; as if he had said; Thou didst never set thy self to do justice upon the great ones, be they and do they what they will, they have the earth, thou didst never put forth or exercise thy power to suppress and oppose their insolencies, thy edge was turned only against inferior ones; Thou tookest a pledge from the poor, and hast stripped the naked of their clothing.
