inequality, injustice, and false measures. He emphasizes the need to
uphold justice and righteousness in all dealings, ensuring a true

Keep to the equal measure and just weight [Deut 25:15, Prov 11:1, 16:11,
20:23] in all things, both inwardly and outwardly, that you may answer
equity, answer truth in the oppressed, and the spirit, and grace, and
light in all people. And so, being kept in righteousness, and equity,
and truth, and holiness, that preserves you over the inequality,
injustice, and the false measure, and weight, and balance in all things,
both inward and outward. And this keeps your eye open, keeps you in a
feeling sense, keeps you in understanding, and true wisdom, and true
knowledge, what you are to answer to all men [Col 4:6] in righteousness,
and truth, and equity, both inward and outward.

And this is to all you that have purchased or bought any Irish land, so
that justice and righteousness, and the true measure, and true weight,
and even balance, may be among you, to answer that which is true, and
just, and even, and equal; that you may answer that which is equal, and
just, and true in yourselves, and in every man and woman; that you may
be preserved in the sense and favour of God, and so may answer the good
and righteous principle in all, by which  they may be brought to truth,
the equal principle, and just measure, and true weight and balance; by
which they may know the just and true God in all his works and out-
goings.
