Hooker s work was a founding important document in English natural law thinking, quoted several times in Locke s Second Treatise on Civil Government. Hooker is quoted to support Locke s views that human law must agree with natural law, that the foundation of public society is human beings, that there is a natural inclination to order, that there must be an agreement to form a government, that legitimate laws are enacted by consent because only society has the power to make laws. That everyone is subject to the law of society, and that rulers are bound by law. Seller Inventory # RAREB1705IMQA
