Answer:

One cannot discover divine law by natural reason alone; the precepts of divine law are disclosed only through divine revelation. The natural law is comprised of those precepts of the eternal law that govern the behavior of beings possessing reason and free will. ... But Aquinas is also a natural law legal theorist.

Answer:

Natural law is a term that refers to moral concepts that are universal throughout most, if not all, human civilizations. Divine law, on the other hand, is law that has been revealed to us by God. Though it may be globally obligatory, divine rule is not generally understood.
