Respect of persons » Partiality
My brethren, let not your christian profession be accompanied with partiality. when any one, adorn'd with a gold ring, and a splendid dress, enters into your assembly; and a poor man comes in meanly habited: if you should respectfully say to the suit of fine cloths, sit you there, that's for quality; and to the poor man, stand thou there, or place your self at my feet: read more.
have not you made an arbitrary distinction, don't your judgments flow from a vicious principle? consider, my dear brethren, has not God chose the poor of this world to be rich by faith, and to inherit the kingdom he has promised to those who love him? but you, who despise the poor, are not you oppress'd by the rich? is it not they who drag you to their tribunals? they who blaspheme that sacred name by which you are distinguish'd?
