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;

Martin F. Tupper.

Adam’s foul revolt

From the primeval law, on all his sons,

Through every age, the sad inheritance

Of sin and death entailed.
