And to the Worship, which naturally men conceived fit to bee used towards their Gods, namely Oblations, Prayers, Thanks, and the rest formerly named; the same Legislators of the Gentiles have added their Images, both in Picture, and Sculpture; that the more ignorant sort, (that is to say, the most part, or generality of the people,) thinking the Gods for whose representation they were made , were really included, and as it were housed within them, might so much the more stand in feare of them: And endowed them with lands, and houses, and officers, and revenues, set apart from all other humane uses; that is, consecrated, and made  holy to those their Idols; as Caverns, Groves, Woods, Mountains, and whole Ilands; and have attributed to them, not onely the shapes, some of Men, some of Beasts, some of Monsters; but also the Faculties, and Passions of men and beasts; as Sense, Speech, Sex, Lust, Generation, (and this not onely by mixing one with another, to propagate the kind of Gods; but also by mixing with men, and women, to beget mongrill Gods, and but inmates of Heaven, as Bacchus, Hercules, and others;) besides, Anger, Revenge, and other passions of living creatures, and the actions proceeding from them, as Fraud, Theft, Adultery, Sodomie, and any vice that may be taken for an effect of Power, or a cause of Pleasure; and all such Vices, as amongst men are taken to be against law , rather than against Honour

No more are the Actions, that proceed from those Passions, till they know a law  that forbids them; which till Lawes be made they cannot know: nor can any law  be made , till they have agreed upon the Person that shall make it

OF OTHER LAWES OF NATURE The Third law  Of Nature, Justice From that law  of Nature, by which we are obliged to transferre to another, such Rights, as being retained, hinder the peace of Mankind, there followeth a Third; which is this, That Men Performe Their Covenants made : without which, Covenants are in vain, and but Empty words; and the Right of all men to all things remaining, wee are still in the condition of Warre

Covenants Not Discharged By The Vice Of The Person To Whom made  Others, that allow for a law  of Nature, the keeping of Faith, do neverthelesse make exception of certain persons; as Heretiques, and such as use not to performe their Covenant to others: And this also is against reason

And Of Rewarding, And Punishing, And That (Where No Former law  hath Determined The Measure Of It) Arbitrary: Eleventhly, to the Soveraign is committed the Power of Rewarding with riches, or honour; and of Punishing with corporall, or pecuniary punishment, or with ignominy every Subject according to the Lawe he hath formerly made ; or if there be no law  made , according as he shall judge most to conduce to the encouraging of men to serve the Common-wealth, or deterring of them from doing dis-service to the same

Politicall (otherwise Called Bodies Politique, and Persons In law ,) are those, which are made  by authority from the Soveraign Power of the Common-wealth

Complete text of 61127648:

It is true, that a Soveraign Monarch, or the greater part of a Soveraign Assembly, may ordain the doing of many things in pursuit of their Passions, contrary to their own consciences, which is a breach of trust, and of the law  of Nature; but this is not enough to authorise any subject, either to make warre upon, or so much as to accuse of Injustice, or any way to speak evill of their Soveraign; because they have authorised all his actions, and in bestowing the Soveraign Power, made  them their own

For the same reason, none can abrogate a law  made , but the Soveraign; because a law  is not abrogated, but by another law , that forbiddeth it to be put in execution

The law  of Nature excepted, it belongeth to the essence of all other Lawes, to be made  known, to every man that shall be obliged to obey them, either by word, or writing, or some other act, known to proceed from the Soveraign Authority

For else, by the craft of an Interpreter, the law  my be made  to beare a sense, contrary to that of the Soveraign; by which means the Interpreter becomes the Legislator

Complete text of 61127843:

The written Laws, if they be short, are easily mis-interpreted, from the divers significations of a word, or two; if long, they be more obscure by the diverse significations of many words: in so much as no written Law, delivered in few, or many words, can be well understood, without a perfect understanding of the finall causes, for which the law  was made; the knowledge of which finall causes is in the Legislator

I say therefore, that there is no place in the world, where this can be an interpretation of a law  of Nature, or be made  a law  by the Sentences of precedent Judges, that had done the same

Complete text of 61127881:

In this case neither shall the Letter of the law  be followed to the condemnation of the Innocent, nor shall the Judge give Sentence against the evidence of the Witnesses; because the Letter of the law  is to the contrary: but procure of the Soveraign that another be made  Judge, and himselfe Witnesse

Divisions Of law  The difference and division of the Lawes, has been made  in divers manners, according to the different methods, of those men that have written of them

Divine Positive law  How made  Known To Be law  Divine Positive Lawes (for Naturall Lawes being Eternall, and Universall, are all Divine,) are those, which being the Commandements of God, (not from all Eternity, nor universally addressed to all men, but onely to a certain people, or to certain persons,) are declared for such, by those whom God hath authorised to declare them

Which also is evident to any mans reason; for whatsoever is not against the law  of Nature, may be made  law  in the name of them that have the Soveraign power; and there is no reason men should be the lesse obliged by it, when tis propounded in the name of God

law  may be made  to bind All the Subjects of a Common-wealth: a Liberty, or Charter is only to One man, or some One part of the people

For to say all the people of a Common-wealth, have Liberty in any case whatsoever; is to say, that in such case, there hath been no law  made ; or else having been made , is now abrogated

In like manner the Latines by Peccatum, which is Sinne, signifie all manner of deviation from the law ; but by crimen, (which word they derive from Cerno, which signifies to perceive,) they mean onely such sinnes, as my be made  appear before a Judge; and therfore are not meer Intentions

Nothing Can Be made  A Crime By A law  made  After The Fact No law , made  after a Fact done, can make it a Crime: because if the Fact be against the law  of Nature, the law  was before the Fact; and a Positive law  cannot be taken notice of, before it be made ; and therefore cannot be Obligatory

Complete text of 61127997:

But when the law  that forbiddeth a Fact, is made  before the Fact be done; yet he that doth the Fact, is lyable to the Penalty ordained after, in case no lesser Penalty were made  known before, neither by Writing, nor by Example, for the reason immediatly before alledged

First, by Presumption of false Principles; as when men from having observed how in all places, and in all ages, unjust Actions have been authorised, by the force, and victories of those who have committed them; and that potent men, breaking through the Cob-web Lawes of their Country, the weaker sort, and those that have failed in their Enterprises, have been esteemed the onely Criminals; have thereupon taken for Principles, and grounds of their Reasoning, "That Justice is but a vain word: That whatsoever a man can get by his own Industry, and hazard, is his own: That the Practice of all Nations cannot be unjust: That examples of former times are good Arguments of doing the like again;" and many more of that kind: Which being granted, no Act in it selfe can be a Crime, but must be made  so (not by the law , but) by the successe of them that commit it; and the same Fact be vertuous, or vicious, as Fortune pleaseth; so that what Marius makes a Crime, Sylla shall make meritorious, and Caesar (the same Lawes standing) turn again into a Crime, to the perpetuall disturbance of the Peace of the Common-wealth

Again, a man receives words of disgrace, or some little injuries (for which they that made  the Lawes, had assigned no punishment, nor thought it worthy of a man that hath the use of Reason, to take notice of,) and is afraid, unlesse he revenge it, he shall fall into contempt, and consequently be obnoxious to the like injuries from others; and to avoyd this, breaks the law , and protects himselfe for the future, by the terrour of his private revenge

For (as I have shewn before in the second Chapter) Dreams be naturally but the fancies remaining in sleep, after the impressions our Senses had formerly received waking; and when men are by any accident unassured they have slept, seem to be reall Visions; and therefore he that presumes to break the law  upon his own, or anothers Dream, or pretended Vision, or upon other Fancy of the power of Invisible Spirits, than is permitted by the Common-wealth, leaveth the law  of Nature, which is a certain offence, and followeth the imagery of his own, or another private mans brain, which he can never know whether it signifieth any thing, or nothing, nor whether he that tells his Dream, say true, or lye; which if every private man should have leave to do, (as they must by the law  of Nature, if any one have it) there could no law  be made  to hold, and so all Common-wealth would be dissolved

For example, the Law condemneth Duells; the punishment is made  capitall: On the contrary part, he that refuseth Duell, is subject to contempt and scorne, without remedy; and sometimes by the Soveraign himselfe thought unworthy to have any charge, or preferment in Warre: If thereupon he accept Duell, considering all men lawfully endeavour to obtain the good opinion of them that have the Soveraign Power, he ought not in reason to be rigorously punished; seeing part of the fault may be discharged on the punisher; which I say, not as wishing liberty of private revenges, or any other kind of disobedience; but a care in Governours, not to countenance any thing obliquely, which directly they forbid

Hurt Inflicted For A Fact Done Before The law , No Punishment Ninthly, Harme inflicted for a Fact done before there was a law  that forbad it, is not Punishment, but an act of Hostility: For before the Law, there is no transgression of the law : But Punishment supposeth a fact judged, to have been a transgression of the law ; Therefore Harme inflicted before the law  made , is not Punishment, but an act of Hostility

From whence it followeth, that if a subject shall by fact, or word, wittingly, and deliberatly deny the authority of the Representative of the Common-wealth, (whatsoever penalty hath been formerly ordained for Treason,) he may lawfully be made  to suffer whatsoever the Representative will: For in denying subjection, he denyes such Punishment as by the law  hath been ordained; and therefore suffers as an enemy of the Common-wealth; that is, according to the will of the Representative

And in case the law , that ordaineth such a punishment, be made  with design to gather mony, from such as shall transgresse the same, it is not properly a Punishment, but the Price of priviledge, and exemption from the law , which doth not absolutely forbid the fact, but only to those that are not able to pay the mony: except where the law  is Naturall, or part of Religion; for in that case it is not an exemption from the law , but a transgression of it

And therefore whatsoever hurt a man is made  to suffer by bonds, or restraint, before his cause be heard, over and above that which is necessary to assure his custody, is against the law  of Nature

Shall whole Nations be brought to Acquiesce in the great Mysteries of Christian Religion, which are above Reason; and millions of men be made  believe, that the same Body may be in innumerable places, at one and the same time, which is against Reason; and shall not men be able, by their teaching, and preaching, protected by the law , to make that received, which is so consonant to Reason, that any unprejudicated man, needs no more to learn it, than to hear it? I conclude therefore, that in the instruction of the people in the Essentiall Rights (which are the Naturall, and Fundamentall Lawes) of Soveraignty, there is no difficulty, (whilest a Soveraign has his Power entire,) but what proceeds from his own fault, or the fault of those whom he trusteth in the administration of the Common-wealth; and consequently, it is his Duty, to cause them so to be instructed; and not onely his Duty, but his Benefit also, and Security, against the danger that may arrive to himselfe in his naturall Person, from Rebellion

The law  is made  by the Soveraign Power, and all that is done by such Power, is warranted, and owned by every one of the people; and that which every man will have so, no man can say is unjust

Such As Are Perspicuous The Perspicuity, consisteth not so much in the words of the law  it selfe, as in a Declaration of the Causes, and Motives, for which it was made

It belongeth therefore to the Office of a Legislator, (such as is in all Common-wealths the Supreme Representative, be it one Man, or an Assembly,) to make the reason Perspicuous, why the law  was made ; and the Body of the law  it selfe, as short, but in as proper, and significant termes, as may be

For "The Words of the Preacher, the Son of David, King in Jerusalem;" and, "the Song of Songs, which is Solomon's," seem to have been made  for distinctions sake, then, when the Books of Scripture were gathered into one body of the law ; to the end, that not the Doctrine only, but the Authors also might be extant

The question truly stated is, By What Authority They Are made  law 

Complete text of 61128730:

Their Authority And Interpretation As far as they differ not from the Laws of Nature, there is no doubt, but they are the law  of God, and carry their Authority with them, legible to all men that have the use of naturall reason: but this is no other Authority, then that of all other Morall Doctrine consonant to Reason; the Dictates whereof are Laws, not made , but Eternall

And therefore his authority (notwithstanding the Covenant they made  with God) depended yet merely upon the opinion they had of his Sanctity, and of the reality of his Conferences with God, and the verity of his Miracles; which opinion coming to change, they were no more obliged to take any thing for the law  of God, which he propounded to them in Gods name

As for example, after the death of Eleazar and Joshua, the next generation which had not seen the wonders of God, but were left to their own weak reason, not knowing themselves obliged by the Covenant of a Sacerdotall Kingdome, regarded no more the Commandement of the Priest, nor any law  of Moses, but did every man that which was right in his own eyes; and obeyed in Civill affairs, such men, as from time to time they thought able to deliver them from the neighbour Nations that oppressed them; and consulted not with God (as they ought to doe,) but with such men, or women, as they guessed to bee Prophets by their Praedictions of things to come; and thought they had an Idol in their Chappel, yet if they had a Levite for their Chaplain, they made  account they worshipped the God of Israel

There is no doubt but that they were made  Laws by God himselfe: But because a Law obliges not, nor is law  to any, but to them that acknowledge it to be the act of the Soveraign, how could the people of Israel that were forbidden to approach the Mountain to hear what God said to Moses, be obliged to obedience to all those laws which Moses propounded to them? Some of them were indeed the Laws of Nature, as all the Second Table; and therefore to be acknowledged for Gods Laws; not to the Israelites alone, but to all people: But of those that were peculiar to the Israelites, as those of the first Table, the question remains; saving that they had obliged themselves, presently after the propounding of them, to obey Moses, in these words (Exod

But the question here, is not what any Christian made  a law , or Canon to himself, (which he might again reject, by the same right he received it;) but what was so made  a Canon to them, as without injustice they could not doe any thing contrary thereunto

And this law  of God, that commandeth Obedience to the law  Civill, commandeth by consequence Obedience to all the Precepts of the Bible, which (as I have proved in the precedent Chapter) is there onely Law, where the Civill Soveraign hath made  it so; and in other places but Counsell; which a man at his own perill, may without injustice refuse to obey

Whereby it is evident, that the ordinary cause of beleeving that the Scriptures are the Word of God, is the same with the cause of the beleeving of all other Articles of our Faith, namely, the Hearing of those that are by the law  allowed and appointed to Teach us, as our Parents in their Houses, and our Pastors in the Churches: Which also is made  more manifest by experience
