Sect. I. Law in General 11
II. Characteristic of Law it excludes Volition. Here then, as it seems, we have another character of a Law; that in —
the acts done in consequence of it, the will of the creature that does them
(if it be a creature that has a will) is not concerned: "Will" is not out
of the question: they are not "left" to it. They are performed in a wondrous
involuntary manner: "in truth wondrous enough as he describes
it. ... In man. And this is the case with man's acts as well as those of any other being: any of them: for, this,
he hath told us more than once, is what is meant by "Law in it's most general
"and comprehensive sense: ++ p.38." "this is the general signification of
"Law:" p 39. and in this sense it is "applied indiscriminately to all kinds
"of action, whether animate or inanimate, rational or irrational: "to the
action of a man if the action "of a man" be of the sort he means by "rational", not less than to that of those of as well as of a monkey or a cabbage.
Su Inserenda 1 chance. With respect to this passage were the understanding it a thing to be
hoped for, and worth wishing for a few questions more would be necessary
to be put and answered. What is it he means by Chance; as
a power that goes halves with Will in governing creatures that have
not Laws to govern them, and that are governed in a manner that is
"involuntary"? Whether he means what I mean by it and what I
believe most other people mean by it the unknown cause of an effect I —
know of? and whether this is any distinct sort of a thing of itself that
can govern creatures? or whether it is in fact any thing more than a
word? which is applied to mean any of those causes or imagined causes
one as well as another, which I who use it, happen not to imagine myself acquainted with?
Unerring rules. One would ask him further what sort of things "unerring rules" are?
