§. 6. Direct. 6. Therefore have a special regard to the Laws of the Country where you live: both 1as to your Trade it self, and as to the price of what you sell or buy. For the Law is made for the public benefit, which is to be preferred before any private mans. And when the Law doth directly or indirectly set rates upon labours or commodities, ordinarily they must be observed; or else you will commit two sins at once, Injury and Disobedience.
