leave_v these_o case_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o another_o law_n namely_o the_o law_n merchant_n which_o be_v a_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n the_o law_n merchant_n as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n be_v universal_a and_o one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o all_o country_n in_o the_o world_n for_o as_o ciccro_n cicero_n say_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n
