     * shall take.
       Small hand-mills, which ground at one time only a sufficient
       quantity for a day's consumption; hence they were forbidden to
       take either of the stones to pledge, because if they did, they
       would be deprived of the means of preparing their necessary
       food, and the family be without bread.  On this account they
       are called in the text, a man's life.  The same reason holds
       good against receiving in pledge, or distraining for debt, any
       instrument of labour, by which men earn their livelihood.
