That Lex, or Law, may signify any Doctrine, as well as a Precept, appears from the Derivation of it given by Isidore, à Legendo, from Readinga, which agrees very well to a Doctrine: And among the Romans, their Laws were inscribed on Brass Tables, and publicly hung up that they might be read by the Peopleb; and I wish the Doctrine of the Gospel was more commonly read and known. The same Word is also sometimes employed to signify the Rules of any Science or Art, which are purely instructive, but not obliging by the Force of any Sanction. Thus Juvenal, Sat. 6. v. 450, 451, 452.
