Paragraph

 1 7 |         First of all, there must be law; that is, a fixed rule of
 2 7 |      ordination of reason is called law. In man's free will, therefore,
 3 7 |            root of the necessity of law. Nothing more foolish can
 4 7 |            is therefore exempt from law. Were this the case, it
 5 7 |           we are bound to submit to law precisely because we are
 6 7 |            by our very nature. For, law is the guide of man's actions;
 7 8 |            office comes the natural law, which is written and engraved
 8 8 |            reason can have force of law only inasmuch as they are
 9 8 |             For, since the force of law consists in the imposing
10 8 |        follows, therefore, that the law of nature is the same thing
11 8 |           same thing as the eternal law, implanted in rational creatures,
12 9 |         what reason and the natural law do for individuals, that
13 9 |             individuals, that human law, promulgated for their good,
14 9 |        consequently in the eternal, law. The precepts, therefore,
15 9 |           therefore, of the natural law, contained bodily in the
16 9 |           merely the force of human law, but they possess that higher
17 9 |       sanction which belongs to the law of nature and the eternal
18 9 |           of nature and the eternal law. And within the sphere of
19 9 |          remotely, from the natural law, and decide many points
20 9 |        decide many points which the law of nature treats only in
21 9 |     competent authority, that human law, properly so called, consists,
22 9 |             and, in so far as human law is in conformity with the
23 10|           manifest that the eternal law of God is the sole standard
24 10|            injunctions of the civil law all may more easily conform
25 10|        prescriptions of the eternal law. Likewise, the liberty of
26 10|         applications of the eternal law, and incapable of sanctioning
27 10|            contained in the eternal law, as in the principle of
28 10|             in the principle of all law. Thus, St. Augustine most
29 10|             lawful in that temporal law, unless what men have gathered
30 10|          gathered from this eternal law."5 If, then, by anyone in
31 10|            have no binding force of law, as being no rule of justice,
32 11|            some supreme and eternal law, which is no other than
33 12|         Church. The impartiality of law and the true brotherhood
34 13|        obediently to submit to just law; and by this the members
35 13|      command is wanting, or where a law is enacted contrary to reason,
36 13|           reason, or to the eternal law, or to some ordinance of
37 13|           free to live according to law and right reason; and in
38 15|      proclaim that every man is the law to himself; from which arises
39 16|            the common good; and the law determining what it is right
40 17| consequently subject to the natural law and to the divine eternal
41 17|           and to the divine eternal law. But here they think they
42 17|           free being is bound by no law of God except such as He
43 17|            reverence for the divine law will be apparent rather
44 17|     religious life from the eternal law; and from all and every
45 17|         same author, as the eternal law, are absolutely in accordance
46 17|             and perfect the natural law. These laws it is that embody
47 18|             be guided by the divine law, but not the morality of
48 20|              reason and the natural law unhesitatingly tell us to

51 33|             ability. In this, human law must endeavor to imitate
