122 136    |       united strength of the whole society to secure and defend their

133 145    |      happen between any man of the society with those that are out

149 159    |             all the members of the society are to be preserved: for
150 163    |           his government are not a society of rational creatures, entered
151 163    |          brutish, as to enter into society upon such terms, prerogative
152 166    |    impossible that any body in the society should ever have a right
153 168    |           the constitution of that society, any superior power, to
154 171    |           up into the hands of the society, and therein to the governors,
155 171    |            the governors, whom the society hath set over itself, with
156 171    |         which he parts with to the society in all such cases where
157 171    |           all such cases where the society can secure him, is to use
158 171    |         preservation of all of his society, that is, all mankind in
159 171    |       preserve the members of that society in their lives, liberties,
160 172    |            into one fellowship and society; and having renounced the
161 172    |           mankind can have neither society nor security*. And thus
162 174    |            being one kind of civil society, that it is as inconsistent
163 211    |     between the dissolution of the society and the dissolution of the
164 211    |           nature, into one politic society, is the agreement which
165 211    |          thinks fit, in some other society. Whenever the society is
166 211    |        other society. Whenever the society is dissolved, it is certain
167 211    |     certain the government of that society cannot remain. Thus conquerors
168 211    |            and dependence on, that society which ought to have preserved
169 211    |           to prove, that where the society is dissolved, the government
170 212    |      legislative is altered. Civil society being a state of peace,
171 212    |           essence and union of the society consisting in having one
172 212    |       first and fundamental act of society, whereby provision is made

174 214    |          which are the will of the society, declared by the legislative,
175 214    |    legislative, constituted by the society, have enacted, it is plain
176 214    |     fundamental appointment of the society, or subverts the old, disowns
177 215    |        what is for the good of the society, wherein the legislative
178 215    |      altered, so as to deprive the society of the due exercise of their
179 216    |         others than those whom the society hath authorized thereunto,
180 216    |          another way than what the society hath prescribed, those chosen
181 217    |            why people entered into society being to be preserved one
182 217    |          intire, free, independent society, to be governed by its own
183 219    |        execution, the bonds of the society, to keep every part of the
184 219    |            inconsistent with human society.~
185 220    |           safety and good: for the society can never, by the fault
186 222    |          reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of
187 222    |          of all the members of the society, to limit the power, and
188 222    |       every part and member of the society: for since it can never
189 222    |     supposed to be the will of the society, that the legislative should
190 222    |           secure, by entering into society, and for which the people
191 222    |           this fundamental rule of society; and either by ambition,
192 222    |          end for which they are in society. What I have said here,
193 222    |   arbitrary will as the law of the society. He acts also contrary to
194 222    |       treasure, and offices of the society, to corrupt the representatives,
195 222    |          and the law-makers of the society, is certainly as great a
196 222    |          they ought to have in the society, who thus employ it contrary
197 226    |         when men, by entering into society and civil-government, have
198 227    |     established legislative of any society, and the laws by them made,
199 227    |     legislative established by the society, (in whose decisions the
200 232    |        right, as every one does in society, who does it without law,
201 243    |          every individual gave the society, when he entered into it,
202 243    |  individuals again, as long as the society lasts, but will always remain
203 243    |        agreement: so also when the society hath placed the legislative
204 243    |        time set, it reverts to the society, and the people have a right
