Ver. 14. At the end of ſeven years let ye go] He layeth before them Gods Law which they had tranſgreſſed, out of Exod. 21.2. Deut. 15.12. A Law ſo full of equity, humanity, and benignity, that the honeſter Heathens approved and obſerved it, as the Romans and Athenians: Only theſe latter had an action at Law (which they called [non-Latin text not transcribed]) for a Maſter againſt his ſervant ungrateful for his manumiſſion,Val. Max. l. 2. c. 1. and not doing his duty to his Maſter: for ſuch were again to be made bond-ſlaves, if the crime could be proved againſt them.
