Note 57 — Chapter III · OTHER KINDS OF LAW.
Reading edition
“The laws that men generally refer their actions to, to judge of their rectitude or obliquity, seem to me to be these three: 1. The divine law; 2. The civil law; 3. The law of opinion or reputation, if I may so call it. By the relation they bear to the first of these, men judge whether their actions are sins or duties; by the second, whether they be criminal or innocent; and by the third, whether they be virtues or vices.” Locke on the Human Understanding, Bk. II. ch. 28, § 7.
