Jesus with his wife Mariamne (Mary) and his Praetorian Guard, did depart Palestine for Egypt and the city of Alexandria, where Jesus did meet Chief Librarian Hero of Alexandria, and did share with him the sights and inventions and knowledge of his travels across Asia, of wind and steam powered devices, and all manner of pumps and levers for lifting and drawing. In exchange for the Chief Librarian providing his finest scribes to help write and copy the first sacred scripture of Jesus, called the Evangelicum Sacrum, meaning the Holy (Holly) Gospel. When the sacred scripture was completed and its copies, Jesus did then entrust the safety of Mariamne to the Hero of Alexandria, as Jesus and Praetorian Prefect Lucius Cornelius and his guard did depart for Rome.
At Rome Prince Jesus of the Holly and Pontifex Maximus was warmly greeted by Praetorian Prefect Gaius Cornelius Lentulus and by many Senators and Claudia Livia Julia the sister of Claudius. Jesus did visit the Vaticanus and Great Temple which had since become the Temple of Livia Drusilla as Magna Mater of Rome. Jesus did pay his respects and then did prophecy that in times to come, the Temple as a mighty house of the Divine Creator would be destroyed and restored three times before the end of the great age. Some of the Senators questioned how Jesus could possibly know, when even the most esteemed of oracles fail to give such specificity, to which Jesus did reply that it be not his duty to interpret the mind of God, but merely to speak what is given to him and trust his heart and stomach, that such words spoken be true at the time they come to be. For all men who can see can view the true face of the Divine.
In the year known as 31 CE, twelve hundred and thirty-one years since the dawn of the Great Age, Prince Jesus of the Holly and Pontifex Maximus, also known as Yahusiah the thirty second Great Prophet of Yeb, did address the Senate and the jurists of Rome with these words:
May the Divine Creator of all existence continue to shine upon the eternal city, may the gods of heaven continue to bring good fortune to all under its care, may the ancestors and heroes continue to guide our hearts and minds, that we as priests or jurists or leaders of men do honour, the sacred office and obligations entrusted to us, that we never forget nor seek to obstruct the first truth of law:
There is, there was, there has only ever been One Law. All law is equal that no one is above it, all law is measured that all may learn and know it, all law is standard that it may always be applied the same. A law is a rule that prohibits or permits certain acts. A rule is a norm, bar, maxim, measure or standard. A rule may be derived by instruction, discovery, custom or consent.
The highest law is Divine being a rule given by divine instruction, as nothing may contradict such a rule.
The second highest law be the reason of Mind, being an edict given by a great council of wise elders or jurists, as nothing absurd and without good reason may be considered law.
The third highest law be the law of the people, as the consent and will of the people is the source of true authority.
The weakest rule is that of a tyrant, as any rule without authority or right of heaven but merely by force, cannot be sustained and the people shall eventually overcome, and render such unjust rule and unjust laws as dust.
This be the law of all great civilisations from the beginning of time, and no king or assembly or city has sustained itself in ignorance to such foundation. These then be the foundations of Rule of Law:
All law be spoken as it is the spirit of the word that carries the authority. Therefore, all action under law be by word of mouth, and writing be only for memory and trade and never be the law.
All are equal under the law
All are accountable and answerable under the law,
All are without he first truth blemish until proven culpable
Where there is a law there must be a cause
Where there is a law there must be a penalty
Where there is a law there must be a remedy
An action in law cannot proceed without first a cause
An action is not granted to one who is not injured
The action of a valid law can do no harm (injury)
An action decided in law must reflect cause of such action
No injury to the law means no valid cause for action by law
No action through law can arise from a fraud before heaven and earth
No action through law can arise in bad faith or prejudice
An act does not make one culpable unless there be intent to do wrong for no one may suffer punishment by valid law for mere intent
No one is punished for the transgression of an ancestor or another
No one can derive an advantage in law from his own wrong, for what is invalid from the beginning does not become valid over time
No one is accused of the same exact cause twice
No man be a judge over his own matter, nor a man possess the authority of heaven to be both judge and executioner No penalty may exist without a valid law
The immediate cause and not the remote cause be the subject of law
These be the foundations of Rule of Law. As to justice it be the maxim that Justice never contradicts the rule of law, for Justice be the lawful right of use of all that has been defined by law, and Justice be the rights to adjudicate the law itself before heaven and earth, and Justice be a judge under sacred oath and trust granted such rights, as a right being a power or authority or privilege or benefit recognised by law.
Divine Law is the law that defines the Divine and all creation, and demonstrates the spirit and mind and instruction of the Divine, and the operation of the will of the Divine Creator through existence. Therefore, all valid rights and Justice are derived from Divine Law.
Natural Law is the law that defines the operation of the will of the Divine, through the existence of form and sky and earth and physical rules. Thus, Natural Law governs the operation of what we can see and name.
The laws of People are those rules enacted by men having proper authority, for the good governance of a society under the Rule of Law. The laws of People are always inherited from Natural Law. A law of People cannot abrogate or usurp a Natural Law, nor is it possible for a Natural Law to usurp Divine Law.
These then be the foundations of Justice:
All possess the Right to be heard even if such speech be controversial
All possess the Right of free will to choose our actions and destiny
All possess the Right of reason that distinguishes them from lesser animals
All possess the Right to informed consent or withdraw consent
All possess the Right over their body that none may claim our flesh
All possess the Right of our divine self that none may claim our soul. Thus, no man can make a blood oath on their flesh or vow on their soul, nor may any man claim servitude or obligation under such an abomination, for such Rights are granted solely by heaven to all people, and no man or body of jurists have the authority to usurp heaven or the gods
Verily all true authority and power to rule is inherited from heaven, and to only those men in good faith and good character and good conscience, who then make a sacred oath in trust and form an office into which such Divine Rights are conveyed for only so long as they honour their oath and obligations to serve the people. For whenever a man who makes an oath to form a sacred trust of office then breaks such an oath through prejudice or unclean hands or bad faith, then all such authority and power ceases from them, as the cord between heaven and earth is severed and the trust dissolved.
Verily no man may serve the people unless under sacred oath, nor may any man serve heaven unless under solemn vow. Therefore, guard your behaviour and actions of office, that though the heavens appear to fall, let justice, be done.
These be the foundations of Justice. As to the administration of Justice these be the foundations of Due Process:
No valid action in proceeds without first a valid cause and no valid cause exists until claim is first tested. Thus, the birth of all action in law must begin with claim
If a claim be not proven as valid cause, then the accused has nothing to answer. Yet if the claim be proved to have merit as a cause, then all valid causes in law must be resolved. Thus, he who first brings the claim must first prove its merit, as the burden of the proof lies upon him who accuses, not he who denies
A heavy obligation then on one who first brings the controversy, for one who brings false accusation is the gravest of transgressors, that it injures not one law, but all heaven and all law.
A valid claim in part is one in which an accuser makes a complaint, bringing two witnesses as proof and petitions a forum of law for remedy
If merit of a cause be proved, the one accused must appear to answer
The one accused and any witnesses appear by summons
When anyone be summonsed, he must immediately appear without hesitation.
If a man summonsed does not appear or refuses to appear to answer, then let him be seized by force to come and attend
When anyone who has been summonsed seeks to evade, or attempts to flee, let the one who summons lay hands on them to prevent their escape
One who flees fair judgement confesses his culpability
The accused cannot be judged until after the accusations be spoken, and then after the accused exercise or decline their three rights to and his Praetori defence, the first being Prolocution and the right to speak as a matter of law, and why the complaint and investigation should not continue, the second being Collocution as to why the complaint and accusation is false, and upon such proof why the burden should now be placed on the accuser, and the third being Adlocution being a final speech in defence, against a complaint or accusation having been heard
If illness or old age hinder the appearance of the one summonsed, et the one who made the summons provide a basic means of transport
When men wish to settle their dispute among themselves, then they shall have the right to make peace.
If a dispute cannot be settled before seeking a judge, then both the accused and the accuser must be granted equal hearing
An accused cannot be found culpable unless three pieces of evidence may be attributed
Judges are bound to explain the reason of their judgement
The setting of the sun shall be the extreme limit of time within which a judge must render his decision
These be the foundations of Due Process. These be the foundations of Rule of Law and Justice. Any law that is against such truth, cannot be law.
