Law \Law\ (l[add]), n. [OE. lawe, laghe, AS. lagu, from the root       of E. lie: akin to OS. lag, Icel. l[94]g, Sw. lag, Dan. lov;       cf. L. lex, E. legal. A law is that which is laid, set, or       fixed; like statute, fr. L. statuere to make to stand. See       {Lie} to be prostrate.]       1. In general, a rule of being or of conduct, established by             an authority able to enforce its will; a controlling             regulation; the mode or order according to which an agent             or a power acts.          Note: A law may be universal or particular, written or                unwritten, published or secret. From the nature of the                highest laws a degree of permanency or stability is                always implied; but the power which makes a law, or a                superior power, may annul or change it.                            These are the statutes and judgments and law,                         which the Lord made.                     --Lev. xxvi.                                                                               46.                            The law of thy God, and the law of the King.                                                                               --Ezra vii.                                                                               26.                            As if they would confine the Interminable . . .                         Who made our laws to bind us, not himself.                                                                               --Milton.                            His mind his kingdom, and his will his law.                                                                               --Cowper.          2.
