The greater fish in the sea of this world devour and live upon the lesser; The strong should support the weak, and they who are upper-most should uphold those who are under them. But because the weak and the underlings may most easily be oppressed, therefore they are most usually oppressed. As Covetousness is cruel, so 'tis cowardly, and dares not meddle with its match. God in reference to Spirituals, filleth the hungry with good things, and the rich he sendeth empty away, (Luk. 1.53.) Ungodly men, in reference to temporals, would send the rich away empty, if they could, but they are so far from filling the hungry with good things, that they take away all the good things they can from the hungry, they care not if they starve the hungry, if they make the poor poorer, and take all from them who have but little.
