The like law is made in the 21 of Exodus touching an Ox that pusheth with his horns. In the 22 Cha. is given the law of restitution in giving like for like. If either one mans pasture be eaten up by an other mans cattle: or if one man hurt another's corn or vineyard. For y• law commandeth to restore other pasturings, other corn ground and other vineyards, not of the worst, but of the best, to him that had the damage done him. Likewise if any man had set thorns on fire, and by his negligence had suffered it to catch hold upon corn, either standing in the field upright, or stacked up in mows at home, then he by whose negligence the fire began, did make amends for the loss, that the other received. The same law is again repeated in the 24 of Leviticus. In the 22 of Deuteronomy, there are many things expressed that must be referred unto this title: of which sort is the law that biddeth us to bring back the Ox that goeth astray, and to restore the things that are found, to him that lost them: to keep our buildings in good reparations, that by misfortune in the fall of them our brethren be not mischieved.

The same lawe is againe repeated in the 24 of Leuiticus. In the 22 of Deuteronomie, there are many things expressed that must bee referred vnto this title: of which sorte is the lawe that biddeth vs to bring backe the Oxe that goeth astraye, and to restore the things that are founde, to him that lost them: to keepe our buyldings in good reparations, that by misfortune in the fall of them our brethren be not mischieued.
