The Bible Has Always Been Regarded As Part Of The Common Law Of England.

The Sciences Are Of A Sociable Disposition, And Flourish Best In The Neighborhood Of Each Other; Nor Is There Any Branch Of Learning But May Be Helped And Improved By Assistance Drawn From Other Arts.

This Law Of Nature, Being Co-eval With Mankind And Dictated By God Himself, Is Of Course Superior In Obligation To Any Other. It Is Binding Over All The Globe, In All Countries, And At All Times: No Human Laws Are Of Any Validity, If Contrary To This; And Such Of Them As Are Valid Derive All Their Force, And All Their Authority, Mediately Or Immediately, From This Original.

Man..must Necessarily Be Subject To The Laws Of His Creator, For He Is Entirely A Dependent Being..and, Consequently, As Man Depends Absolutely Upon His Maker For Everything, It Is Necessary That He Should In All Points Conform To His Maker's Will.
