Summary

This quote suggests that God intended for law and equity to go hand in hand, yet humanity has separated them. Law refers to a system of rules and regulations that should ensure fairness and justice, while equity is the concept of fairness and ethical considerations.

The quote implies that it is essential to align the law with principles of equity in order to achieve a just society.
