🧵 Protestant teaching on #NaturalLaw appears already in Philip Melanchthon’s Loci communes (1521), & his treatment had a much larger impact.

We can illustrate this impact by recurring use of Greek terms from Stoic philosophy: “common notions” & “preconceptions” (προλήψεις). /1
The 1521 Loci communes marginalia highlights 1) the existence and 2) essence of NL (esse legem naturae / quid lex naturae).

1) “Paul teaches in the second chapter to the Romans, in a remarkably fine and clear enthymeme (enthymemate), that there is in us a law of nature.” /2
2) Melanchthon defines natural law as moral “common principles” and “first conclusions”. They are analogous to common principles in theoretical disciplines, called “common notions” (κοιναὶ ἐννοίαι) or “preconceptions” (προλήψεις). /3
