This Law of NaTchS being coeval with mankind , and dictated by God hiiltf ls is cf course fuper'tor if ob ligation to any other; it is binding over all tbe glebe* in all countries, and at all times; no bumandaws are c f any validity if contrary to this, and [neb rs them as are valid derive ail their free, and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this ci i gnal. Black Hone* IN conformity with the plan I have always had in cor. tempkuion, I fhaU, in the investigation of this fubjTl, and indeed every other which may come under ni\ cogniz ance, in the prokcutiou of which 1 uviv ft el the c*-nv iftiorj that by the exertion of niv own intellect I cannot evifeer ate much truth,-it left the opinions of thole authors whom I may conceive to be the, lx-ft; and in treating of the L w of Nature I am induced to become a }1 ague ill, principally with a view to give to niv readers a paffige from a work on this 1 object which probably may have the complexion of novel tv. ‘There are fqme who.Ciy that at the moment of our birth God engraves on our hearts- the precepts of the Natural Law* Experience proves the contrary. If God is to he regarded as the author cf the Law of Nature, it is as being tiie author of corporeal,ienfi'oility, which is the mother'of human reason. This fort of legibility, at the time of the union of men in society, obliged them to make among themselves conventions and laws, the affunbl.ige of which composes what is called the Law of Nature. But have thole laws been the lame among different nation ? Nc; their greater or lefts perfection was always in proportion to the progrefts of the human mind to tfte greater or lei’s ex tent of knowledge that fbcieties acquired of what was ufcful or prejudicial.* Natural right presupposes a law < f na ture which has eftabliflied that right: But where is tlvslaifr of nature to be found? Who has produced it? 1 .aw is the exprellion of will. The Law of Nature then must Ire the expreflton of will; but of whole will? Os Nature’s? But what is Nature? Or is it the exprellion of the will of God, who is ftometimes called the Author of Nature? But if tl rt be the case, where is tiie difference between this and what is called the Law of Revelation? Right is a mere legal term. Where no law is there \s no trariTgreffion, has been laid; with equal truth it might be said, where no law is there is no right. A man acquilvs a right or property in a thing by the declaration of the le gula'or, that he may use and enjoy that thing; joined to a promiie of the Jegillator, expressed or implied, that he will re drain every other person from depriving him of ‘that thing, or from troubling him in the use or enjoyment of it. Flow is it that a man acquires a right to do or forbear any a est? By the declaration of the legillator, that he may do or forbear it, joined to a proir.ile of the legillutor, ex pre fil'd or implied, that lx: will restrain every other peribp from comlraining him to do toe one or forbear the other* As to tilings antecedently to law, a man may have the use and enjoyment of them, but he cannot have the right to them; that is, he may have poffeflion, but he cannot have property* As to a<Tts, he may be in the habit of doing or forbearing, but he cannot have the right of exevcifing that habit; for until there is ionic law, tacit or expressed, he cannot be lure that others will be restrained from troubl ing him in the excrcife of it. He may be free, but with out law he cannot have the right of freedom. When m. n talk of a Law of Nature they mean only certain imagin ary regulations which appear to them to be fit and expedjv cut. When they fay that, a man has tbe natural right to the use and enjoyment of any thing, or to do or forbear any aft, lam apt to conceive they mean no more than that it appears to them to be fit and expedient that i'uch a right flioilld be eflablilhed. In this way Helvetius and Lind reason. The author from whom I have taken my text, after (hewing the mfufKciency of the Law of Nature, by merely having recourle to reason to fecvire our happiness, g es on and lav?, that tiie 1 liv me Providence, in compaf iiun to the frailty, the imp/rfoctfon, and the blmdnefs of human reason, hath been pieafed, at sundry times and in divers manners, to difeoyer and enforce its laws by an im mediate and direst revelation. ‘The doctrines thus delivered we called the revealed and divine law, and they arc to be found only in the holy fcripturcs- Thtfe precepts, when revealed, are found, upon companion, to be really a part of the original Law of Nature, as they tend in all their rtmfequences to man’s felicity. As then the moral precepts of this law are of the fame original with thole of the Law of Nature, lb their intriiiftc obligation is of equal strength and perpetuity. Yet undoubtedly the revealed law is of infinueiy more authenticity than that moral Ijftem which is framed by ethical writers, and denominated Natural Law; bc-caitie one is the Law of Nature, expressly declar ed l’o to be by God hiinfelf; the other is only what, by the alhftance of human reason, we imagine to be that law. If we could be as certain of the latter as we are of the former both would have an equal authority, but till then they caa never be put in any competition, together* * Helvetius . * ANECDOTE.
