More From William Blackstone
Those Rights, Then, Which God And Nature Have Established, And Are Therefore Called Natural Rights, Such As Life And Liberty, Need Not The Aid Of Human Laws To Be More Effectually Invested In Every Man Than They Are; Neither Do They Receive Any Additional Strength When Declared By The Municipal Laws To Be Inviolate. On The Contrary, No Human Legislature Has Power To Abridge Or Destroy Them, Unless The Owner Shall Himself Commit Some Act That Amounts To A Forfeiture.

The Liberty Of The Press Is Indeed Essential To The Nature Of A Free State: But This Consists In Laying No Previous Restraints Upon Publications, And Not In Freedom From Censure For Criminal Matter When Published. Every Freeman Has An Undoubted Right To Lay What Sentiments He Pleases Before The Public: To Forbid This, Is To Destroy The Freedom Of The Press: But If He Publishes What Is Improper, Mischievous, Or Illegal, He Must Take The Consequence Of His Own Temerity.

To Deny The Possibility, Nay, The Actual Existence Of Witchcraft And Sorcery, Is At Once Flatly To Contradict The Revealed Word Of God In Various Passages Both Of The Old And New Testament, And The Thing Itself Is A Truth To Which Every Nation In The World Hath, In Its Turn, Borne Testimony, By Either Example Seemingly Well Attested Or By Prohibitory Laws, Which At Least Suppose The Possibility Of A Commerce With Evil Spirits.

No Outward Doors Of A Man's House Can In General Be Broken Open To Execute Any Civil Process; Though In Criminal Cases The Public Safety Supersedes The Private.
