Exodus 21:1

We shall find but little occasion, to enlarge on the several parts of the Chapter; the statutes here appointed by God, and which of themselves arise out of our duties to him, plainly comprise all the secondary, and subordinate obligations we owe to one another. That maxim of the apostle's is an universal maxim. 1 John 4:20.
