Justinian. lib. 1. pandect. tit. 1. saith that the law is a faculty / or science of the thing tat is god and right / as celsus there defineth. Or thus the law is a certain rule / or canon / to do well by / which ought to be known / and kept of all men. Cice. de leg. saithe / that the law / is a certain rule / proceeding from the mind of God / persuading right / and forbidding wrong.
Iustinian. lib. 1. pandect. tit. 1. saithe that the law is a facultie / or sciēs of the thing tat is god and right / as celsus there definithe. Or thus the law is a certaine rule / or canon / to do well by / whiche awght to be knowē / and kept of all men. Cice. de leg. saithe / that the law / is a certaine rule / proceding from the mynde of God / perswadyng right / and forbydding wrong.
So that the law / is a certain rule / a directory showing what is god / and what is isle: what is virtue / and what is vice / what profitable / and what disprofetable: what to be down / and what to be left undone. This declaration of the law general / appertaineth unto all the kinds / members / and particular lows / made other for the body / ether for the soul. So that who so ever be ignorant of the law / and rules that appertain unto the science / or art / that he professeth can never come to the end / or perfection / that his profession requireth. As for example. The end of a Christian man is eternal lief / and his profession is / to know / and learn the law and ⟨p. V⟩canons / that most plainly / and sincerely / leadeth him unto this end / of eternal felicity. As the law of God / which is a certain doctrine / showing what we should be / what we should do / and what leave undone. requiring perfect obedience towards God / and advertising us / that God is anger / and displeased with sin / and will punish eternally / such as perform not all things perfectly / contained in this law. as ye may read Mat. 22. Exod. 20.
