There was a note from 2012 that said to not amend this one because it is under construction, but no progress has been made since 2012. I am removing this note and finishing the transcript. |

task as that of settling it between them making them friends again..
I find it a vain thing to seek to guard myself against
the charge of misrepresentation: for <add>I consider a passage,</add> for if I give
according to the best of my judgment I give it the
sense that's due to it. If that sense be absurd: he Preface
may say it is not this : and whatever be that sense
if it be a sense, he may always say it is not
this.
[The Law of Nature. And the Law of Revelation.
and the Law of Nations.
It was "necessary", + + p.44 our Author, is of opinion,
that he should give us this account of them; and
surely there is some appearance of Laws having very good account as it <add>should seemed, we ought</add>
the sight of it, to have of them the first two of them: if as he assures us, no human
Laws are to be suffer'd to contradict these them".
If in short we care if were any human Laws to "in joining" or
even "allowing" us to do any thing forbidden by either
of them, we are bound to transgress that human
Law: supposing always, which is impossible
that a Law which does nothing but as more than to allow
can be transgressed.
[It was necessary we should have a good account of
them: it was also unnecessary that is, there could be no use for it The Will of man's
maker is this Law of Nature: this will "is inevitably
conformed to", not in one here and there a point as you one
might suppose, but in "all". To be inevitably
conformed to it must be inevitably known.
