CHRISTIAN MORALITY. IiYMN FOR SERMON XXIV, Christian 14torality, viz. Justice and Equity, COME let us search ourways, and try, Have they been just and right ?

Nor robb'd him of his honour due, By sly malicious ways ? In all we sell and all webuy, Is justice our design ? Do weremember God is nigh, And fear the wrath divine?
