Man..must Necessarily Be Subject To The Laws

Law Is The Embodiment Of The Moral Sentiment Of The People.

It Is Better That Ten Guilty Persons Escape Than One Innocent Suffer.

Of Crimes Injurious To The Persons Of Private Subjects, The Most Principal And Important Is The Offense Of Taking Away That Life, Which Is The Immediate Gift Of The Great Creator; And Which Therefore No Man Can Be Entitled To Deprive Himself Or Another Of, But In Some Manner Either Expressly Commanded In, Or Evidently Deducible From, Those Laws Which The Creator Has Given Us; The Divine Laws, I Mean, Of Either Nature Or Revelation.

This Law Of Nature, Being Co-eval With Mankind And Dictated By God Himself, Is Of Course Superior In Obligation To Any Other. It Is Binding Over All The Globe, In All Countries, And At All Times: No Human Laws Are Of Any Validity, If Contrary To This; And Such Of Them As Are Valid Derive All Their Force, And All Their Authority, Mediately Or Immediately, From This Original.

Until The Content Of A Belief Is Made Clear, The Appeal To Accept The Belief On Faith Is Beside The Point, For One Would Not Know What One Has Accepted. The Request For The Meaning Of A Religious Belief Is Logically Prior To The Question Of Accepting That Belief On Faith Or To The Question Of Whether That Belief Constitutes Knowledge.
