To be copied of not acting. For notwithstanding
our Author's absurd strange definition of
the word Obligation, yet however amidst
different all the various senses
in which Authors have used that
term, They have always supposed it
to ha imply this power.

confound the idea of Law with that of
the principles imprest upon Master.
For these all idea of obligation, all
idea of motives is excluded. —
His next absurdity inconsequence is talking of
a Law of Nature. There is no such
thing. When was this Law notified?
it cannot be notified: for the
term nature is taken for the
Author of Nature, for the Creator
of the Universe: how should he notify
this Law, it would cease to be the
Law of Nature; it would become
a part of the Law of Revelation. &
