It Is Better That Ten Guilty Persons

Upon These Two Foundations, The Law Of Nature And The Law Of Revelation, Depend All Human Laws.

No Outward Doors Of A Man's House Can In General Be Broken Open To Execute Any Civil Process; Though In Criminal Cases The Public Safety Supersedes The Private.

The Bible Has Always Been Regarded As Part Of The Common Law Of England.

Man Must Necessarily Be Subject To The Laws Of His Creator. This Will Of His Maker Is Called The Law Of Nature. This Law Of Nature Is Superior To Any Other. No Human Laws Are Of Any Validity If Contrary To This.

And These Great Natural Rights May Be Reduced To Three Principal Or Primary Articles: The Right Of Personal Security; The Right Of Personal Liberty; And The Right Of Private Property; Because As There Is No Other Known Method Of Compulsion, Or Of Abridging Man's Natural Free Will, But By An Infringement Or Diminution Of One Or Other Of These Important Rights, The Preservation Of These, Inviolate, May Justly Be Said To Include The Preservation Of Our Civil Immunities In Their Largest And Most Extensive Sense.
