VI. Sunt autem hic observandi distinctiones. Lex divina in se nihil aliud est quam idea voluntatis divinae de rebus agendis & omittendis. Lex Dei requirit obedientiam perfectam omnibusque viribus; non tantum ordinat actiones hominis, verum etiam vetat actiones quibus aliis peccandi occasio datur. VII. Est autem lex vel naturae, vel humana, vel divina. VIII. Lex NATURAE est lumen & dictamen rectae rationis, quo homo naturaliter discernit honestum a turpi. Lex naturae, qualis jam est in hominibus post lapsum, scintillas quasdam adhuc retinet quibus peccatum redarguitur. X. Lex humana est definita iuris sententia a magistratu lata ad regendam societatem civilem.
