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 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
