The eighth commandment requireth the lawful procuring and furthering the wealth and outward estate of ourselves and others. Q. 75 What is forbidden in the eighth commandment? A. The eighth commandment forbiddeth whatsoever doth or may unjustly hinder our own or our neighbour's wealth or outward estate.
