the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o law_n celestial_a the_o law_n of_o reason_n the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o just_a law_n of_o man_n &_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n so_o in_o a_o first_o sense_n the_o law_n of_o man_n be_v call_v unjust_a if_o he_o that_o make_v they_o have_v no_o authority_n so_o to_o do_v or_o have_v authority_n if_o he_o make_v they_o rather_o for_o his_o own_o private_a then_o for_o any_o common_a good_a or_o make_v they_o for_o the_o common_a good_a if_o he_o bid_v and_o command_v that_o which_o be_v above_o man_n power_n to_o perform_v in_o a_o second_o sense_n humane_a law_n be_v say_v to_o be_v unjust_a if_o they_o bid_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n law_n to_o god_n reveal_v will_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o these_o law_n be_v so_o far_o from_o bind_v we_o to_o their_o observance_n as_o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o our_o soul_n deep_o charge_v we_o with_o all_o our_o might_n to_o resist_v they_o the_o answer_n which_o peter_n and_o john_n

of_o man_n if_o they_o be_v unjust_a do_v not_o simple_o bind_v we_o in_o conscience_n to_o any_o obedience_n and_o if_o they_o be_v so_o unjust_a as_o to_o detract_v from_o god_n law_n and_o his_o

for_o our_o god_n we_o ought_v rather_o to_o obey_v god_n than_o man_n yet_o be_v there_o humane_a law_n just_a law_n law_n of_o equity_n and_o uprightness_n bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o
