[ 596] Good Laws, and good men, are the Pillars of State.
THe Pillars of State are good Laws,* 1.1and good Men; good Laws are the Pillars
that bear up men, and men being so born up by good Laws, do bear up the
whole State of a Land; Licinius therefore the Emperor spake barbarously, when
(as Eusebius reports) he said, That Iuris cognitio, was V••rus & pestis Reipublicae;
And the Iews, who (as Ambrose observes) said, That Leges were Crimina, spake but
as Iews,* 1.2that is, as a Rebellious people; And the Anabaptists, that hold Laws to be
contrary to Christian liberty, do but by their doctrine give us to understand the
qualities of their lives, which is Epicurial licentiousness; but Christians must
give Laws their right, and repute them as they are, The Pillars of the State.
