There Is Nothing Which So Generally Strikes The Imagination, And Engages The Affections Of Mankind, As The Right Of Property; Or That Sole And Despotic Dominion Which One Man Claims And Exercises Over The External Things Of The World, In Total Exclusion Of The Right Of Any Other Individual In The Universe. And Yet There Are Very Few, That Will Give Themselves The Trouble To Consider The Original And Foundation Of This Right.

There Is Nothing Which So Generally Strikes

William Blackstone
There Is Nothing Which So Generally Strikes The Imagination, And Engages The Affections Of Mankind, As The Right Of Property; Or That Sole And Despotic Dominion Which One Man Claims And Exercises Over The External Things Of The World, In Total Exclusion Of The Right Of Any Other Individual In The Universe. And Yet There Are Very Few, That Will Give Themselves The Trouble To Consider The Original And Foundation Of This Right.

More From William Blackstone
The Law, Which Restrains A Man From Doing Mischief To His Fellow Citizens, Though It Diminishes The Natural, Increases The Civil Liberty Of Mankind.

Liberty
Man Must Necessarily Be Subject To The Laws Of His Creator. This Will Of His Maker Is Called The Law Of Nature. This Law Of Nature Is Superior To Any Other. No Human Laws Are Of Any Validity If Contrary To This.

To Deny The Possibility, Nay, The Actual Existence Of Witchcraft And Sorcery, Is At Once Flatly To Contradict The Revealed Word Of God In Various Passages Both Of The Old And New Testament, And The Thing Itself Is A Truth To Which Every Nation In The World Hath, In Its Turn, Borne Testimony, By Either Example Seemingly Well Attested Or By Prohibitory Laws, Which At Least Suppose The Possibility Of A Commerce With Evil Spirits.
