by his forbidding forbidden by the pretended
law of Nature? and so that in making
Laws that command and or forbid them, he

But he comes to examples – Thus our own
Common Law has declared, that the goods of
the wife do instantly upon marriage become
the property and right of the husband: (he might
as well have added, "unless it is agreed otherwise")
and our Statute Law has declared all monopolies
a public offence: yet that right, and
this offence, have laid no foundation in nature;
but are merely created by the Law,
for the purposes of civil Society". [As to this,]
"that the goods of the wife do instantly upon
marriage (unless as above excepted) become the
property and right of the husband" I understand:
because I know that the Law will
punish any body else that takes them: that
our Statute Law had declared done as much as "declare
all monopolies" a public offence ("public offence" I should rather have said) I also know:
for it has declared how it will punish those
