Ch. I. Universal Jurisprudence
(1 §. Beginning? Universal Jurisprudence
together
§. Universal Jurisprudence to the English People of England
People of England! nay beloved children! Hear
my instructions. & then you will have your
Primer. After me, you shall hear speak my best
blood Daughter Felicia — Law as she ought to be. After
her my other Daughter Gubernia Law as she is: and lastly
another Lecturer I know not what to say of her
— that she shall speak for herself — Dolosas Law as she pretends
to be.
You have read a hand in taking out of the
a species of true called the true of good and evil.
Law is a true of this species. To it you are indebted
not only for the continuance but even for the beginning of
every thing which is dear to you. But her faults are
a compound of good and evil: and no otherwise than
with and by the better friend can you possess and
the secret. To give being to Law — to give execution and
effect to law — what is it but to do evil that good may
cure.
Out of the Oath commeth forth secret. Here you have
another from Holy Writ.
No obligation, no right: no right: and without
right [nothing of that who those sweets which are produce give not up Alter
by law] And take away right what remains is pure
obligation: and taken by itself obligation is so much
evil: it is all from bitterness Thus, if you do
me already — then you shall soon see.
