Mention has been of Jesuits But Jesuits? - what need can a King of England have of Jesuits, so long as he has Blackstone?

With the word /the name of/ God in his mouth, what is it that man can /may/ /who have power/ not do?

Is a law troublesome to him? He takes up /consults with/ /Consulting/ his Blackstone and finds that it need not be troublesome to him any longer: the word /name of/ God is pronounced; and immediately the law becomes null and void: the state of things is exactly as it would have been had there never been any such law

Turning to /Opening/ the Introduction ' 2, p. 41 he finds /sees/ "a law of nature ... dictated by God himself" ... spoken of in the character of an existing law, the authority of which is such that "no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this. /T (p. 42)T/ "Upon these two foundations, the law of Nature and the Law of Revelation depends all human laws: - that is, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these."
