Ask him what
are the Laws of
nature? They are
such & such steps
which

It is possible that one account of the pretended
Laws of Nature can be more confused than
another, it is that of Montisquiue. In speculating
upon the condition situation of man in a
state of nature (by which state he seems not
to have very well known what he meant) he
thinks of he thought what he they
would do: to steps which he imagines they
would + +(ought or ought
not is what comes
not under his consideration.) take. The 1st is to make And these 4 steps he calls
Laws of Nature. The 1st is to make run away
The from each other, which he calls and this he calls the Law of Peace: The
2d is to eat their victuals: The 3d one knows
not what to make of it consists of 3 or 4 things
jumbled together in the strongest manner imaginable.
People would then come together again,
because each would see that the rest were as
much afraid of him as he of them: and because

two tygers
supposing it true
perhaps, would

animals/men have, of them as well as the 2d which
and who have are only a 2d tie which animals men
have, & the first & only tie that
animals have ? And in another case what was the 1st tie?
And how comes it that men are linked together made to have a desire
