Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 45:9

9 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence , and spoil , and execute judgment and justice , take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.

Princes are here in Gods name, and by advice from him, who made them Princes, counselled, exhorted, and commanded.

Be content, aim not at more, who gave no more can make this enough, and who will curse, and blast what you indirectly, and by sinful oppressive crafts wrest from others.

Put it far from your selves, do not you use it, and so discountenance in others, that neither common Subjects dare violate one another, nor your Officers violate any of them.

Either the same as violence, or effect of it violent courses, rob the oppressed and spoil them.

Judge righteously and then look the sentence be executed for terror to the unjust, and relief of the opprest.

This is added for emphasis, though the same thing.

Heavy Taxes and Impositions on Estates or Trade.

Whom I must, if you will not, Right.
