1. What the law is in generall.
The Latin word Lex (which signifieth the law) is derived from Lego, which signifieth to read and publish; or from Lego, which signifieth to choose. With ⟨p. 517⟩the former derivation agreeth the Hebrew word, with the latter the Greek word: For in the Greek, the Law is called [Greek or Hebrew], which cometh from a word that signifieth to divide and distribute; and therefore the Law is so called, because it distributeth unto every one proper charges and functions. In Hebrew the Law is called Thorah, that is, doctrine: because Laws are published unto all, that every one may learn them. And hereof is it, that the ignorance, or not knowing the Law doth not excuse: nay, rather they who are ignorant of those Laws which belong unto them, do even in that very respect sin, because they are ignorant.
THe Latine word Lex (which signifieth the law) is derived from Lego, which signifieth to reade and publish; or from Lego, which signifieth to choose. With ⟨p. 517⟩the former derivation agreeth the Hebrew word, with the latter the Greek word: For in the Greek, the Law is called 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, which cometh from a word that signifieth to divide and distribute; and therefore the Law is so called, because it distributeth unto every one proper charges and functions. In Hebrew the Law is called Thorah, that is, doctrine: because Lawes are published unto all, that every one may learn them.
