Any law which violates the inalienable rights of man is essentially unjust and tyrannical; it is not a law at all.
The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.
There is nothing which any way pertaineth to the worship of God left to the determination of human laws.
But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later.

No man can be subject to any laws, excepting those which have received the assent of himself or his representatives and which are promulgated beforehand and applied legally.
