Every account of
the pretended Laws
of Nature must be
confessed. But
if it is possible for
< one to be more so
than another, it is
that of Montesquieu
If it is possible that one account of the pretended
Laws of Nature can be more than another
it is that of Montesquieu Darkness itself is Light to it.
Ask him what are the Laws of Nature? they are
such steps certain , which have something to do
with a state of Nature. What, are they rules
perhaps concerning the steps to be taken by a man in
the State of Nature? No, no rule in that case
they are the steps themselves — what they are Right —
then the steps which which in such a state ought to take? in this
state? not so — ought and ought not have nothing are out of the question
to do with the matter in the affair — they are the steps
they men would take — They will, then what
Take a number of
men, put them into
a state of nature are they then at last? you shall hear — third are 4 of them. In the
1st place, those of ( men ) <add> Put men in a state of nature would run away
<note>Men, if there come
a hundred of them<lb?> would all shew
each other one another a fair
pair of heels</note from one another as hard as they could :
and there is peace, & this is one Law that is one Law + of
turn. In the next place they could eat look
their about them for victuals — & then in a second for you <add> to the Law third is for that another & there is a second for you
In that 3d place they would — in that they
would, that is I suppose the more &
could making to each other a certain
whole species they his Law goes no farther than
to the getting together of persons of different bringing the Sexes to a meeting?
Sexes
And how he comes to take no notice of one one common
way enough of two persons getting acquainted
which is by one of them betting or being deliver' of the other.
