Page 127 - Ex hoc enim quod aliquis vult finem, ratio imperat de his quae sunt ad finem, sed voluntas de his quae imperantur, ad hoc quod legis rationem habeat, oportet quod sit aliqua ratione regulata; et hoc modo intelligitur quod voluntas principis habet vigorem legis ; alioquin voluntas principis magis esset iniquitas quam lex.
Page 131 - Respondeo dicendum quod lex proprie primo et principaliter respicit ordinem ad bonum commune. Ordinare autem aliquid in bonum commune est vel totius multitudinis, vel altcujus gerentis vicem totius multitudinis.
