Our investigations ever since the scientific revolution have progressively shown it to be more and more lawlike. It would be a bit of a surprise if this stopped being true.

Science assumes that nature is lawlike. Otherwise it would be senseless to make predictions.
Yes - I would add that a philosophically-knowledgeable scientist knows that nature does not HAVE to be lawlike. But like you say, the process of science is hypothesizing laws and checking to see if those laws make predictions. So far this process has been very successful.
