Mankind Will Not Be Reasoned Out Of

There Is Nothing Which So Generally Strikes The Imagination And Engages The Affections Of Mankind, As The Right Of Property.

So Great Moreover Is The Regard Of The Law For Private Property, That It Will Not Authorize The Least Violation Of It; No, Not Even For The General Good Of The Whole Community.

Mankind Will Not Be Reasoned Out Of The Feelings Of Humanity.

The Liberty Of The Press Is Indeed Essential To The Nature Of A Free State: But This Consists In Laying No Previous Restraints Upon Publications, And Not In Freedom From Censure For Criminal Matter When Published. Every Freeman Has An Undoubted Right To Lay What Sentiments He Pleases Before The Public: To Forbid This, Is To Destroy The Freedom Of The Press: But If He Publishes What Is Improper, Mischievous, Or Illegal, He Must Take The Consequence Of His Own Temerity.

Man..must Necessarily Be Subject To The Laws Of His Creator, For He Is Entirely A Dependent Being..and, Consequently, As Man Depends Absolutely Upon His Maker For Everything, It Is Necessary That He Should In All Points Conform To His Maker's Will.
