Lactant. Div. Inst. 6.8.6
“Est quidem
vera lex recta ratio naturae congruens, diffusa in
omnes, constans, sempiterna, quae vocet ad officium
iubendo, vetando a fraude deterreat; quae tamen neque probos frustra iubet aut vetat nec improbos iubendo aut vetando movet. Huic legi nec obrogari fas
est neque derogari ex hac aliquid licet neque tota
abrogari potest, nec vero aut per senatum aut per
populum solvi hac lege possumus, neque est quaerendus explanator aut interpres eius alius, nec erit alia
lex Romae, alia Athenis, alia nunc, alia posthac, sed
et omnes gentes et omni tempore una lex et sempiterna et immutabilis continebit, unusque erit communis quasi magister et imperator omnium deus, ille
legis huius inventor, disceptator, lator; cui qui non
parebit, ipse se fugiet ac naturam hominis aspernatus hoc ipso luet maximas poenas, etiamsi cetera
supplicia, quae putantur, effugerit.
