because Gift is Voluntary; and of all Voluntary Acts, the Object is to every man his own Good; of which if men see they shall be frustrated, there will be no beginning of benevolence, or trust; nor consequently of mutuall help;

which though granted to them that persevere in their hostility, be not Peace, but Feare; yet not granted to them that give caution of the Future time, is signe of an aversion to Peace; and therefore contrary to the law of Nature Complete text of 61126950:Besides, Revenge without respect to the Example, and profit to come, is a triumph, or glorying in the hurt of another, tending to no end; (for the End is alwayes somewhat to Come;) and glorying to no end, is vain-glory, and contrary to reason; and to hurt without reason, tendeth to the introduction of Warre; which is against the law of Nature; and is commonly stiled by the name of Cruelty Complete text of 61126962:If in this case, at the making of Peace, men require for themselves, that which they would not have to be granted to others, they do contrary to the precedent law , that commandeth the acknowledgement of naturall equalitie, and therefore also against the law of Nature Complete text of 61126984:And thus also the controversie, and the condition of War remaineth, contrary to the law of Nature Complete text of 61126985:The Nineteenth, Of Witnesse And in a controversie of Fact, the Judge being to give no more credit to one, than to the other, (if there be no other Arguments) must give credit to a third; or to a third and fourth; or more: For else the question is undecided, and left to force, contrary to the law of Nature Complete text of 61126992:And whatsoever Lawes bind In Foro Interno, may be broken, not onely by a fact contrary to the law but also by a fact according to it, in case a man think it contrary Complete text of 61127058:Which Is Not To Be Had From The law Of Nature: For the Lawes of Nature (as Justice, Equity, Modesty, Mercy, and (in summe) Doing To Others, As Wee Would Be Done To,) if themselves, without the terrour of some Power, to cause them to be observed, are contrary to our naturall Passions, that carry us to Partiality, Pride, Revenge, and the like Complete text of 61127406:For though the action be against the law of Nature, as being contrary to Equitie, (as was the killing of Uriah, by David;) yet it was not an Injurie to Uriah; but to God Complete text of 61127458:The sute therefore is not contrary to the will of the Soveraign; and consequently the Subject hath the Liberty to demand the hearing of his Cause; and sentence, according to that law 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 Complete text of 61127649:But in what cases the Commands of Soveraigns are contrary to Equity, and the law of Nature, is to be considered hereafter in another place Complete text of 61127691:But if one Subject giveth Counsell to another, to do any thing contrary to the Lawes, whether that Counsell proceed from evill intention, or from ignorance onely, it is punishable by the Common-wealth; because ignorance of the law , is no good excuse, where every man is bound to take notice of the Lawes to which he is subject Complete text of 61127743:"CIVILL law , Is to every Subject, those Rules, which the Common-wealth hath Commanded him, by Word, Writing, or other sufficient Sign of the Will, to make use of, for the Distinction of Right, and Wrong; that is to say, of what is contrary, and what is not contrary to the Rule Complete text of 61127746:As also, that Lawes are the Rules of Just, and Unjust; nothing being reputed Unjust, that is not contrary to some law Complete text of 61127840:For else, by the craft of an Interpreter, the law my be made to beare a sense, contrary to that of the Soveraign;

because the Letter of the law is to the contrary : but procure of the Soveraign that another be made Judge, and himselfe Witnesse Complete text of 61127916:Also, Unwritten Customes, (which in their own nature are an imitation of law ,) by the tacite consent of the Emperour, in case they be not contrary to the law of Nature, are very Lawes Complete text of 61127943:I conclude therefore, that in all things not contrary to the Morall law , (that is to say, to the law of Nature,) all Subjects are bound to obey that for divine law , which is declared to be so, by the Lawes of the Common-wealth Complete text of 61127978:But because the law of Nature is eternall, Violation of Covenants, Ingratitude, Arrogance, and all Facts contrary to any Morall vertue, can never cease to be Sinne Complete text of 61127987:Therefore into what place soever a man shall come, if he do any thing contrary to that law , it is a Crime Complete text of 61128039:From hence it followeth that when that Man, or Assembly, that hath the Soveraign Power, commandeth a man to do that which is contrary to a former law , the doing of it is totally Excused: For he ought not to condemn it himselfe, because he is the Author; and what cannot justly be condemned by the Soveraign, cannot justly be punished by any other Complete text of 61128055: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 Complete text of 61128063:Laesae Majestas Also Facts of Hostility against the present state of the Common-wealth, are greater Crimes, than the same acts done to private men; For the dammage extends it selfe to all: Such are the betraying of the strengths, or revealing of the secrets of the Common-wealth to an Enemy; also all attempts upon the Representative of the Common-wealth, be it a monarch, or an Assembly; and all endeavours by word, or deed to diminish the Authority of the same, either in the present time, or in succession: which Crimes the Latines understand by Crimina Laesae Majestatis, and consist in designe, or act, contrary to a Fundamentall law Complete text of 61128102:Hurt Inflicted, If Lesse Than The Benefit Of Transgressing, Is Not Punishment Seventhly, If the harm inflicted be lesse than the benefit, or contentment that naturally followeth the crime committed, that harm is not within the definition; and is rather the Price, or Redemption, than the Punishment of a Crime: Because it is of the nature of Punishment, to have for end, the disposing of men to obey the law ; which end (if it be lesse that the benefit of the transgression) it attaineth not, but worketh a contrary effect Complete text of 61128139:The Punishment Of Innocent Subjects Is contrary To The law Of Nature All Punishments of Innocent subjects, be they great or little, are against the law of Nature; For Punishment is only of Transgression of the law , and therefore there can be no Punishment of the Innocent Complete text of 61128381:For without that, a man knows not, when he is commanded any thing by the Civill Power, whether it be contrary to the law of God, or not: and so, either by too much civill obedience, offends the Divine Majesty, or through feare of offending God, transgresses the commandements of the Common-wealth Complete text of 61128734:For if every man should be obliged, to take for Gods law , what particular men, on pretence of private Inspiration, or Revelation, should obtrude upon him, (in such a number of men, that out of pride, and ignorance, take their own Dreams, and extravagant Fancies, and Madnesse, for testimonies of Gods Spirit; or out of ambition, pretend to such Divine testimonies, falsely, and contrary to their own consciences,) it were impossible that any Divine law should be acknowledged Complete text of 61130004:The Preaching Of Christ Not contrary To The Then law Of The Jews, Nor Of Caesar Hitherto therefore there is nothing done, or taught by Christ, that tendeth to the diminution of the Civill Right of the Jewes, or of Caesar Complete text of 61130171:If he say, he ought rather to suffer death, then he authorizeth all private men, to disobey their Princes, in maintenance of their Religion, true, or false; if he say, he ought to bee obedient, then he alloweth to himself, that which hee denyeth to another, contrary to the words of our Saviour, "Whatsoever you would that men should doe unto you, that doe yee unto them;" and contrary to the law of Nature, (which is the indubitable everlasting law of God) "Do not to another, that which thou wouldest not he should doe unto thee Complete text of 61130336:Therefore a true and unfeigned Christian is not liable to Excommunication; Nor he also that is a professed Christian, till his Hypocrisy appear in his Manners, that is, till his behaviour bee contrary to the law of his Soveraign, which is the rule of Manners, and which Christ and his Apostles have commanded us to be subject to Complete text of 61130445: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 Complete text of 61130446:That the New Testament should in this sense be Canonicall, that is to say, a law in any place where the law of the Common-wealth had not made it so, is contrary to the nature of a law Complete text of 61130447:For a law , (as hath been already shewn) is the Commandement of that Man, or Assembly, to whom we have given Soveraign Authority, to make such Rules for the direction of our actions, as hee shall think fit; and to punish us, when we doe any thing contrary to the same Complete text of 61130480:" But to what end is it (may some man aske), that the Apostles, and other Pastors of the Church, after their time, should meet together, to agree upon what Doctrine should be taught, both for Faith and Manners, if no man were obliged to observe their Decrees? To this may be answered, that the Apostles, and Elders of that Councell, were obliged even by their entrance into it, to teach the Doctrine therein concluded, and decreed to be taught, so far forth, as no precedent law , to which they were obliged to yeeld obedience, was to the contrary ; but not that all other Christians should be obliged to observe, what they taught Complete text of 61130482:For though God be the Soveraign of all the world, we are not bound to take for his law , whatsoever is propounded by every man in his name; nor any thing contrary to the Civill law , which God hath expressely commanded us to obey Complete text of 61131021:The Commands of Civill Soveraigns are on all sides granted to be Laws: if any else can make a law besides himselfe, all Common-wealth, and consequently all Peace, and Justice must cease; which is contrary to all Laws, both Divine and Humane Complete text of 61131116:For Christians, (or men of what Religion soever,) if they tolerate not their King, whatsoever law hee maketh, though it bee concerning Religion, doe violate their faith, contrary to the Divine law , both Naturall and Positive: Nor is there any Judge of Haeresie amongst Subjects, but their own Civill Soveraign; for "Haeresie is nothing else, but a private opinion, obstinately maintained, contrary to the opinion which the Publique Person (that is to say, the Representant of the Common-wealth) hath commanded to bee taught Complete text of 61131993:If a man doe an action of Injustice, that is to say, an action contrary to the law , God they say is the prime cause of the law , and also the prime cause of that, and all other Actions; but no cause at all of the Injustice; which is the Inconformity of the Action to the law Complete text of 61132004:If the law were made because the use of Wives is Incontinence, and contrary to Chastity, then all marriage is vice; If because it is a thing too impure, and unclean for a man consecrated to God; much more should other naturall, necessary, and daily works which all men doe, render men unworthy to bee Priests, because they are more unclean |
