To be copied "this declaratory part of the law, says — And he tell us that —
"our Author, depends not so much upon
"the law of Revelation, or of nature, as upon the the wisdom
"and the will of the Legislator." Yet before we were
told, that all human laws dependednt upon [He had before told us,
the law of nature, and of Revelation. Now
it seems they do not depend upon ithem. But

"nature have establised "and are therefore called natural rights, such as are life & liberty: need not the aid
"of human laws to be more effectually invested
