Biblical Law: Being a Text of the Statutes, Ordinances, and
Judgments Established in the Holy Bible with Many Allusions to
Secular Laws: Ancient, Medieval, and Modern, Documented to the
Scriptures, Judicial Decisions, and Legal Literature Clark offers a
systematic presentation of the commandments, precedents and customs
found in the King James Version of the Bible. Following the
organization of a legal text, the work is divided into sections on
General Principles, Political Law, Civil Law, Economics and
Welfare, General Laws, Penal Law, Crimes and Punishment, and
Procedure and Administration of Law. " 'A PANDECT of Profitable
