' The injured party, or his friends in his stead, had their redress and revenge at law. They might not take the businefs into their own hands, but must enter iheir complaint in due form to the elders of their town or city, and have a fair trial of the accused be- fore the proper tribunals. When the sentence of the judges had been pronounced, it was executed in legal form; the criminal being doomed to sufier the same injury to life or limb, which he had caused to his neighbor. Thus when a man ha...d received a wound from his fellow man, or lost an eye, or a tooth, a hand or a foot, he had his revenge at law ; by due process of which he could thrust out an eye, or a tooth, or cut off a hand or a foot, or inflict any other injury which had been inflicted on him. But however salutary this statute, and however necessary to the good order of society in the opinion of political moralists, the great Master of christians has abrogated it, and command- 17 ed his followers not to resist evil ; not to resist it even according to law —not to procure punishment to their injurers through the regular judicial medium ; but lo bear all indignities, insults, assaults and wrongs, with forgiving meekness and patience.
