Law of Nature

1. "The Law of Nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, legislators as well as others. The rules that they make for other men's actions must ... be conformable to the Law of Nature, i.e. to the will of God. Laws human must be made according to the general laws of Nature, and without contradiction to any positive law of Scripture, otherwise they are ill made." - United States Founding Influences, John Locke, "Two Treatises on Government", (London: J. Whiston, etc., 1772) Book II, p. 285, Chapter XI, section 135, quoting Hooker's "The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity" 1.iii, sect.9
