The Seven Laws

During the 40s (1640s) one John Selden supposedly (apud Milton) constructed something towards a theory of international law on the basis of something he calls "the seven laws of Noah". I've no idea where the hell he got that crap ; but upon perusal it's self-obviously unrelated to the actual seven laws. Here they are :

Do not mistake man for offspring.

Do not suffer the seekers of long life to live.

Do not allow a victim innocence.

Do not speak over your Master's words.

Do not wallow content.

Do not aid the needy [but only the worthy].

Do not believe by count.

I'll entertain questionsi from the publicii, at least for a while.

———There are also some inescapable difficulties of translation from The Word to this sad doggerel, so it's possible though unlikely some rephrasing might be necessary.
