[self-defense Is] Justly Called The Primary Law Of Nature, So It Is Not, Neither Can It Be In Fact, Taken Away By The Laws Of Society.

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.

The Doctrines Thus Delivered We Call The Revealed Or Divine Law, And They Are To Be Found Only In The Holy Scriptures.. Are Found Upon Comparison To Be Really Part Of The Original Law Of Nature. Upon These Two Foundations, The Law Of Nature And The Law Of Revelation, Depend All Human Laws; That Is To Say, No Human Laws Should Be Suffered To Contradict These.

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

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.
