Regarding the eighth commandment,
It requires us not only to get and keep the Things of the World in a lawful Manner, but to distribute and communicate them to those that are in Want, and not cast them into Temptations of Sin or inevitable Ruin, Isa 58:10 And if thou draw out thy Soul to the Hungry, and satisfy the afflicted Soul : then shall thy Light rise in Obscurity, and thy Darkness be as the Noon-Day, 1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this World’s Good, and seeth his Brother hath Need, and shutteth up his Bowels of Compassion from him, how dwelleth the Love of God in him?
