natural law .
A human action which is ,
exactly conformable to the laws which require us to obey them .
2 .
It differs from a legal obligation ,
because a duty cannot always be enforced by the law ;
it is our duty ,
for example ,
to be temperate in eating ,
but we are under no legal obligation to be so ;
we ought to love our neighbors ,
but no law obliges us to love them .
3 .
Duties may be considered in the relation of man towards God ,
towards himself ,
and towards mankind .
1 .
We are bound to obey the will of God as far as we are able to discover it ,
because he is the sovereign Lord of the universe who made and governs all things by his almighty power ,
and infinite wisdom .
The general name of this duty is piety :
which consists in entertaining just opinions concerning him ,
and partly in such affections towards him ,
and such ,
worship of him ,
as is suitable to these opinions .
4 .-
2 .
A man has a duty to perform towards himself ;
he is bound by the law of nature to protect his life and his limbs ;
it is his duty ,
too ,
to avoid all intemperance in eating and drinking ,
and in the unlawful gratification of all his other appetites .
5 .-
3 .
He has duties to perform towards others .
He is bound to do to others the same justice which he would have a right to expect them to do to him .
