[Footnote 114: The wise and humane sentence of the civilian
Paul (l. ii. Sententiarum in Pandect, 1. xxv. tit. iii. leg.
4) is represented as a mere moral precept by Gerard Noodt,
(Opp. tom. i. in Julius Paulus, p. 567 - 558, and Amica
Responsio, p. 591 - 606,) who maintains the opinion of
Justus Lipsius, (Opp. tom. ii. p. 409, ad Belgas. cent. i.
epist. 85,) and as a positive binding law by Bynkershoek,
(de Jure occidendi Liberos, Opp. tom. i. p. 318 - 340.
Curae Secundae, p. 391 - 427.) In a learned out angry
controversy, the two friends deviated into the opposite
extremes.]
