14. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence. These two things are the weapons with which the poor are assailed: both
law and no law are employed to fleece them. A soul hunted by the temptations of
Satanic craft, and the insinuations of diabolical malice, will do well to fly
to the throne of Jesus for shelter. And precious shall their blood be in his sight. He will not throw away his subjects in needless wars as tyrants have
done, but will take every means for preserving the humblest of them. Jesus,
though he gave his own blood, is very wary of the blood of his servants, and if
they must die for him as martyrs, he loves their memory, and counts their lives
precious.
