Law hath dominion over all things, over universal mind and matter; For there are reciprocities of right which no creature can gainsay. Unto each was there added by its Maker, in the perfect chain of being, Dependencies and sustentations, accidents, and qualities, and powers: And each must fly forward in the curve, unto which it was forced from the beginning; Each must attract and repel, or the monarchy of order is no more. Laws are essential emanations from the self-poised character of God, And they radiate from that sun to the circling edges of creation. Verily the mighty Lawgiver hath subjected himself unto laws, And God is the primal grand example of free unrestrained obedience;
