Natural.

Many Latin maxims which are based upon common reason are sometimes quoted with the phrase naturale est — it is natural — prefixed; which may be, however, considered as not forming a part of the maxim. Thus the definition of the maxim, eodem modo quo quid constituitur, eodem modo dissolvitur, will be found in this work under eodem modo, &c., although common forms of quoting it are, naturale est eodem modo, &c., and naturale est quidlibet dissolvi eo modo quo ligatur.
