Truth Independent of Its Speaker: On Law and Freedom

“A TRUTH never derives force by being uttered by any man, however great he may be; nor is it any less weighty when declared by the weakest. Truth, like God, always is, and it always is just what it is, and must be accepted for just what it is, wherever we find it. On this basis we may take the following statement of truth from Augustine: ‘It is one thing to be in the law, another, under the law. Whoso is in the law, acteth according to the law; whoso is under the law, is acted upon according to the law; the one therefore is free, the other a slave.’”
