Learn to do well
Which men are naturally ignorant of; to do good they have no
knowledge; nor can they that are accustomed to do evil learn to
do well of themselves; but the Lord can teach them to profit, and
of him they should ask wisdom, and desire, under the influence of
his grace, to learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
and particularly to do acts of beneficence to all men, and
especially to the household of faith; and also, the following
ones, seek judgment;
seek to do justice between man and man in any cause depending,
without respect of persons: relieve the
oppressed;
the poor that are oppressed by their neighbours that are richer
and mightier than they, right their wrongs, and deliver them out
of the hands of their oppressors F9: judge the
fatherless;
do justice to them who have none to take care of them, and defend
them: plead for the widow;
that is desolate, and has none to plead her cause.
