Law, all things in heaven and earth do her
homsgo- tba very least fselins~4cr ca,-55. 'slre
greatest hoSexempt from her power
There is In nature certain fountains of Justice
whence all civil laws are derived.
True law is indeed right reason consistent
with nature, shedding it's influence upon all,
constant and immutabe 1t is impious to
change such law, neither is it lawful to abate
it, nor can it be wholly abrogated, the Senate
nor the people cannot discharge us from its OBJ
legations, it does not need an expounder, or in
terpreter; it will not be one thing at Rome and
another at Athens one law now and a different
one hereafter, but is the same inviolable law
that comprehends every nation throughout all
time, as it were the common master and ruler
the divinity of all. God is the inventor, the
giver and the judge of this law
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
little shall in no wise pass from this Lap.
Whatsoever ye would that others should do
unto you, do you even so unto them
come, not 10 destroy the law, but to fulfill.
To live honestly, hurt nobody, and render
every one his due, is the whole doctrine of law
Laws cannot be contrary to reason.
No human laws are of any validity if contra
ry to the laws of nature, and the revealed lalc.
Self defence is the primary law of nature,
as it cannot be in fact, and is not taken away
by the law of society.
The law Of the Lord is perfect converting the
soul, the testimony of the Lord is sure, making
wise the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing
the heart
The commandment of the Lord is pure, EN-
lightning the eyes.
The judgments of the Lord are true, and
righteous altogether.
Justice itself is the e, eat standing policy Of
society and any eminent departure from it I'M
der any circumstances, lies under the suspicion
Of being no policy at all.
- o government can prosper without the
highest degree OF justice.
We must not fear the evil arising from a great
agitation, but must take courage to resist and
overcome it.
The secret things belong unto the Lord ouI
God, but those things which are revealed belong
unto US and unto our children, that We may dc
all the works of this iaD.
Thou SHALT NOT DELIVER UNTO HIS MASTER TIL
SERVANT THAT HAS ESCAPED FROM HIS MASTER UN.
TO THEE.
Thou SHALT NOT Cypress STRANGER, SEEING
YE WERE STRANGERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT.
If ye observe 10 do all these commandments
he Lord Thy God ,oA sci the above all nations o
the earth.
But If We ,ciH not hearken to the voice Of tn
Lord 10 observe 10 do all his commandments an,
his statutes, then thou shalt become an aston,sh
ment, a prorerb and byword among dHnations
A stranger shall be unto you as one borl
among you, and thou shalt love him as myself
for ye were strangers in the land OF Egypt.

, If right and Justice may ever be violated
! they may be violated for the sake of reigning
I IL. Cesar!
/ Do not our statesmen have more regard 10
the Casarian consideration than for the Mosaic
Many like Caesar, have tried the experiment
and with hardly better success, learning by ex
perience that it was just no policy at ALL
The Law is our School-master.
