SECT.II. Law of Nature.
Precept 2d not give pain to any one at all: which would puzzle us
what to think about the several professions of the
Judge, the Surgeon, the Soldier and the Hangman;
or that we should not give pain to any man one but
when we ought: which would puzzle us to find any
thing in this ingenious precept that could serve a man
any body man for a rule.
Precept 3d. [Of the 3d and last the meaning "render every one his due" I suppose is, either that we
should ought to render to every one man what we ought to render
him (for this edifying and instructive sense is the
only one that belongs incontestably to any of them)
or else that we should forbear to violate trespass upon upon but property
that is to withold from him what the Law, namely
the Municipal Law, has given him; whether in
confirmation of our own importance any undertakings of our own, or upon any other
title has bestowd on him: for if a man has property in a thing, it is
because the Municipal Law punishes others for
doing that with so dealing with that thing, which as it permits him
to deal with it.
We now know what the greatest part of it consists of
to wit, probably, as much as comes to nothing; [and no more.]
perhaps also besides this, a part of that same thing called Municipal Law, to
which it stands opposed, [and] which was not to be
understood without it: and which depends upon this and
another; that is, as we shall see presently, the same;
the Divine Law, alias Law of Revelation: depending therefore partly upon
a part of itself, and partly upon nothing.
Knowing this much of it as we do, we cannot choose
but acknowledge with our Author, that it is the superior
