Paul defined general equity of ox muzzling with not paying pastors. He looked at the principle taught and then applied it to similar situations.

My question is if someone *today* had a flat roof on their house and slept up there as well as entertained would the exact case law still apply? I would hasten to say yes.

But in this case the general equity principle would apply to fences around pools, hand rails for stairs, sprinkler systems in buildings etc.
