Thomas Manton, English Puritan, considers oppression of the poor. In many countries the gentry, “through greatness”, use the peasants to labor without reward. Jeremiah promises the wrath of God, as against King Jehoiakim.

In Manton’s day, he said it happened in many countries, and incurred the wrath of God. Are neither of these the case today?

How can you ensure those who serve you in various ways get their reward?

"But you will say, How many ways may we oppress the poor labourer? | answer--(1.) When through greatness you challenge their labours without reward, as the gentry use the peasants of many countries: Jer. xxii. 13, 'Woe be to him that useth his neighbour without wages;, meaning Jehoiakim, who, in his pompous buildings used his subjects, labour without hire."
