for things that are done _jure_, nothing can be said to be done _jure divino_, that is not also _jure civili_, unless it be done by them that having sovereign power, are not subject to the civil law. [Sidenote: The division of laws, &c.] 6. The differences of laws, are according to the differences, either of the authors and lawmakers, or of the promulgation, or of those that are subject to them. From the difference of the authors, or lawmakers, cometh the division of law into _divine_, _natural_, and _civil_. From the difference of promulgation, proceedeth the division of laws into _written_ and _unwritten_. And from the difference of the persons to whom the law appertaineth, it proceedeth, that some laws are called simply laws, and some penal. As for example, _thou shalt not steal_, is simply a law; but this, _he that stealeth an ox, shall restore four-fold_, is a penal, or as others call it, a judicial law. Now in those laws, which are simply laws, the commandment is addressed to every man; but in penal laws the commandment is addressed to the magistrate, who is only guilty of the breach of it, when the penalties ordained, are not inflicted; to the rest appertained nothing, but to take notice of their danger. [Sidenote: That the divine moral law, and the law of nature, is the same.] 7. As for the first division of law into _divine_, _natural_, and _civil_, the first two branches are one and the same law. For the law of nature, which is also the moral law, is the law of the author of nature, God Almighty; and the law of God taught by our Saviour Christ, is the moral law. For the sum of God’s law is, _Thou shalt love God above all, and thy neighbour as thyself_; and the same is the sum of the law of nature, as hath been showed, Part I. chap. V. And although the doctrine of our Saviour be of three parts, _moral_, _theological_, and _ecclesiastical_; the former part only, which is the moral, is of the nature of a law universal; the latter part is a branch of the law civil; and the theological, which containeth those articles concerning the divinity and kingdom of our Saviour, without which there is no salvation, is not delivered in the nature of laws, but of counsel and direction, how to avoid the punishment, which by the violation of the moral law, men are subject to. For it is not infidelity that condemneth, though it be faith that saveth, but the breach of the law and commandments of God, written first in man’s heart, and afterwards in tables, and delivered to the Jews by the hands of Moses.
