• “Thine eye shall not pity him.” Let them remember that a false sentimentality may constantly be found in league with an audacious infidelity in calling in question the solemn enactments of divine government.

If a willful murderer presumed to avail himself of God’s provision for the ignorant manslayer, the hand of justice laid hold of him and put him to death, without mercy. (“Deuteronomy 19” by C.H. Mackintosh)
