SECT. VI. Municipal Law

is not a rule, because it is not a rule for ever.
And hence we have a 2d twofold division of
Laws in respect of time: viz into Temporary
Laws
, which are not Laws: and into Perpetual
ones which are.

Thirdly we learn, that what is a rule in one
place only is not a rule, because it is not

Laws, which are not Laws, and into Universal
ones, which are.

had no occasion to have said any thing about "a
"rule

as the word Law does.

There is another reason (we find next) We come now to the second occasion for mentioning
Law as being a rule: which which second reason is just as good an one
