Author of Natural Law
{{cquote|The law of nature alone regulates the treaties of nations: the difference of religion is a thing absolutely foreign to them.

{{cquote|For that all Law properly considered, supposes a capable Subject, and a Superiour Power, And the Law of God which is Binding, is published by the Dictates of Right Reason as other ways; Therefore says Plutarch, To follow God and obey Reason is the same thing. But moreover that God has Established the Law of Nature, as the General Rule of Government, is further Illustrable from the many Sanctions in Providence, and from the Peace and Guilt of Conscience in them that either obey, or violate the Law of Nature.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=apfYAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA31|title=A Vindication of the Government of New England Churches|date=1717|author=[[John Wise (clergyman)|John Wise]]}}</ref> - [[John Wise (clergyman)|John Wise]], A Vindication of the Government of New England Churches}}
