INTROD. Law of Nature - Expression reprobated - Contradictions. of Authors. TAYLOR.

TAYLOR.

"Justinian", (according to Taylor or his more
judicious abridger no matter which it is no great matter which) (where the original is confusion the abridgment, to be faithful, must be so too) Justinian however "defines
servitude or slavery to be that by which one
man is made subject to another, according
to the law of nations, though contrary to natural
right." Summary of the Roman Law. 1772 p. 208 All this being said by an Emperor, & standing as part of so fine a law as the Civil Law passes off very well.
but no sooner is the emperor out of his sight
eye, than he recollects it occurs p. 210. that "no civil
state can take from any one the rights,
or absolve them from the obligations of their
nature" — [accordingly he had found out just
before] He had bethought himself too by this time that the Roman law ".. does did .. give them
[viz. slaves] the rights of nature, and that it
was upon that principle that they "were subject
to all the laws of nature like other men.
From all this what is it that we are to understand?
