JEREMIAH BURROUGHS
(1599 - 1646)
Saint's Happiness
"As for the poor oppressed, this may serve for their comfort, and it may teach them patience. He that is over-swayed with might against equity and right in some one court, yet is not out of heart nor hope so long as he may appeal to some other that is higher, especially if he be persuaded of the integrity and uprightness of that judge to whom he makes appeal."
Jeremiah Burroughs, #Puritan, looks at Isaiah 5:7. The oppressed poor get no fair hearing below but will prevail at a Higher Court.
Are we bothered by this, until we feel we’re oppressed in some way?
How can you consider the uprightness of the Lord of hosts?
