Nehemiah 5:10 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Brethren — In office; these who are employed with me in the government of this people. Servants — In my name, and for my use. Exact — As a just recompense for our pains and care for the publick good, to which we wholly devote ourselves, even to the neglect of all our private concerns. But I freely remit my own right, and therefore you also ought to do so, seeing I lay no burden upon you, but what I am willing to bear a part of upon my own shoulders.
