Job24:6

Verſe 6. They reape every one his corn in the field] The poor oppreſſed are made by them to inn their crops, and tread their vintages in the end of the year; as the Hebrew importeth,Serò colligunt. without either meat or wages, or ſo much as a cup of drink, as the eleventh verſe ſets forth: which is extreme cruelty, and flatly forbidden, Deut 24.14, 15. and order taken that the mouth of the Ox that treadeth out the corn ſhould not be muzzled, Deut. 25.4. Quantum igitur judicium, ſaith Brentius, how great judgements of God then will light upon thoſe who do that to men of the ſame fleſh, of the ſame faith, of the ſame country with themſelves, which they ought not to do to the bruit creatures they make uſe of? Quo[illegible: 1 letter] malum in Germania frequent[illegible: 1 letter]ſſimum eſt; V[illegible: 1 letter] igitur Germaniae. This, ſaith he, is a common ſin in Germany, woe therefore to Germany. Think the ſame of England, and take notice that this is one of thoſe crying ſins that entreth into the ears of the Lord of Sabboth, Jam. 5.4. and he will hear, for he is gracious, Exod. 22.27. The words are otherwiſe ſenſed by ſome: but this to me ſeemeth moſt ſutable to the ſubſequent verſes.
