Equity

"II est fort equitable et de publique convenience que gens ferront aide en recovery de lour duties (It is very agreeable to Equity, and of public convenience, that people should be aided in recovering their duties)."

"It is not the function of a Court of justice to enforce or give effect to moral obligations which do not carry with them legal or equitable rights."

"It would not be correct to say that every moral obligation involves a legal duty; but every legal duty is founded on a moral obligation."

"All laws stand on the best and broadest basis which go to enforce moral and social duties."
