Bound. import of the word "Law," that it's own import as applied to human
actions is no otherwise to be defined than by means of that same word.
When a man is bound to do an act, it is as we have seen , by his being
liable to be punished by virtue of a Law , or by a command at
least, if he does it not.
"When he put that matter into motion , he established certain Laws
"of motion, to which all under it's government moveable bodies must
"conform." Thus continues he when the supreme being formed the "universe Gods Laws for Inanimate Matter][We have now taken a view of seen our author's definition of Law in general: He next proceeds We have seen how to he illustrates it's The illustration is no less clear,than his the definition is precise.,
and created matter out of nothing, he impressed certain —
"principles upon that matter , from which it can never depart, and without
"which it would cease to be." This is then one character of a Law:
" that that which is governed by it cannot depart from it, and that if it were,
"to quite it, there would be an end to it's existence ; Tto the existence not of the
Law, I mean but of the thing , whatever it be , that's is governed by it 1st Characteristics of Law . It is untransgressible , inviolable.. Hence [if it]
should it come out hereafter that there is such a sort of an animal as
is called Man , and that for this animal there are such things —
made as are called Laws: this much we know of <add>in some measure </add> what would become
what
of him how it would be with him . . In the first place , he never could do but as they would have
him : in the next place, (to suppose what, it seems , is impossible) if
he did , his annihilation would be the certain consequence the next thing you wou.d see of him would be his annihilation..
"And to pretend continues descend , says our Author, from the greatest operations
"to the smallest , when a workman forms a Clock" (making a Clock
"being the smallest operation that is performed) "when a workman —
"makes a Clock ," says he, "or other piece of mechanism, he establishes,
"at his own pleasure , certain arbitrary laws for it's direction : as that
