There can be no be no better instruction... than that every man who is to deal with his neighbor to follow these commandments. 'Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them,' and 'Love thy neighbor as thyself.'

All things would quietly and simply be set to rights, for everyone's heart and conscience would guide them.
