When this universal law of equity rises up in every man and woman, then none shall
|
|
lay claim to any creature and say, This is mine, and that is yours. This is my
|
|
work, that is yours. But everyone shall put their hands to till the earth and
|
|
bring up cattle, and the blessing of the earth shall be common to all; when a man
|
|
hath need of any corn or cattle, take from the next storehouse he meets with.
|
|
There shall be no buying or selling, no fairs or markets, but the whole earth shall
|
|
be a common treasury for every man, for the earth is the Lord's...When a man hath
|
|
eat, and drink, and clothes, he hath enough.
|
|
