The Second Thing for which I move, is, That all Frauds in our Dealings of all sorts, may be the Abomination of all that have any thing to do in the Market-Place. All such Things as by the Irregular & Inordinate Love of Gold, men are too often betrayed into! Of the various Method•, wherein men Deal Dishonest•y with one another, in the Market-Place, and particularly, False Weights and Measures, we read, Deut. 25.16. All that do such things, and all that do Unrighteously, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God. May they Likewise, and Therefore, be an Abomination unto you, O People of the LORD.

As now;
For men to Lye to one another, in Dealing with one another; Tis an Abomination! It was required; Lev. ⟨p. 19⟩
