Negative Liberties & RWE

[David Morris]

Livy's account of this fable-telling coincides chronologically and
thematically with:

1 Cor 12:4 (KJV)

For the body is not one member, but many.

   If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the
body; is it therefore not of the body?   And if the ear shall say,
Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of
the body?   If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing?
If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?

   But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as
it hath pleased him.

   And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?

   But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.

   And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor
again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

  Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more
feeble, are necessary:

  And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less
honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our
uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.

   For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body
together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which
lacked:
