Let me now conclude this reason with Scalliger’s words, Neque enim quae supra naturae leges sunt, ex naturae legibus judicanda censeo. Sect. 7. 2. As the ceremonies, by their sacred, spiritual, and mystical significations, direct us unto a supernatural good, so they are thought to guide us unto the same by a way which nature’s light could never discover unto men.
It much more resembled that of the -decemviri legibus scribundis-, who likewise came forward as an extraordinary government with unlimited fulness of powers superseding the ordinary magistracy, and practically at least administered their office as one which was unlimited in point of time.
See for Arnold the Chronica majorum et vicecomitum Londoniarum in Liber de antiquis legibus, and Riley's introduction to his translation of Chronicles of the Mayors and Sheriffs of London . During the early months of 1258, the aliens ruled the king and realm, added estate to estate, and defied all attempts to dislodge them.
Political science is treated by him in the De Republica, of which the first two books remain in a tolerably complete state, the other four only in fragments, and in the De Legibus, of which three books only remain. The former was commenced in the year 54 B.C. but not published until two years later, at which time probably the latter treatise was written, but apparently never published.
In his writings in the "De Legibus," for instance you will find principles of humanity far more comprehensive than those by which the policy of the empire was moulded.
But there is the deep and the shallow in genealogy, as in other arts and sciences, and, incoherent as it may sound to the uninitiated, the introduction to the Liber de Antiquis Legibus is no old woman's work, but full of science and strange matter. It all grows, however, in genealogical trees, these being the predominant intellectual growth in the editor's mind.
His enim rebus imbutæ mentes haud sane abhorrebunt ab utili et a vera sententia. Cic. de Legibus, l. 2. Quicquid multis peccatur inultum. I do not choose to shock the feeling of the moral reader with any quotation of their vulgar, base, and profane language. Their connection with Turgot and almost all the people of the finance. All have been confiscated in their turn.
Tiraqueau's treatise, De legibus connubialibus, published for the first time in 1513, has an important bearing on the life of Rabelais. There we learn that, dissatisfied with the incomplete translation of Herodotus by Laurent Valla, Rabelais had retranslated into Latin the first book of the History. That translation unfortunately is lost, as so many other of his scattered works.
-Haec res sic gesta est. Bene valete, et vincite Virtute vera, quod fecistis antidhac; Servate vostros socios, veteres et novos; Augete auxilia vostris iustis legibus; Perdite perduelles: parite laudem et lauream Ut vobis victi Poeni poenas sufferant. III. XIII. Increase of Amusements
You speak truly. "Socrates. "Alcibiades. It is so." Plato. "Sic igitur hoc a principio persuasum civibus, dominos esse omnium rerum ac moderatores, deos." Cicero de Legibus. "We shall never be such fools as to call in an enemy to the substance of any system, to supply its defects, or to perfect its construction."
