  1 1  |     world is the product only of force and violence, and that men
  2 3  |   property, and of employing the force of the community, in the
  3 9  |  authority, by which they are in force over the subjects of that
  4 16 |          other rule, but that of force and violence, and so may
  5 17 |     unless it be to compel me by force to that which is against
  6 17 |      slave. To be free from such force is the only security of
  7 18 |      farther than, by the use of force, so to get him in his power,
  8 18 |          from him; because using force, where he has no right,
  9 19 |         the state of nature. But force, or a declared design of
 10 19 |          or a declared design of force, upon the person of another,
 11 19 |      secure my life from present force, which, if lost, is capable
 12 19 |        men in a state of nature: force without right, upon a man'
 13 20 |          20. But when the actual force is over, the state of war
 14 88 |      common-wealth to employ his force, for the execution of the
 15 88 |          these to employ all the force of all the members, when
 16 91 |       Men always knew that where force and injury was offered,
 17 94 |         own authority; avoid the force of the law, when once made;
 18 96 |          way whither the greater force carries it, which is the
 19 103|        of right be, has no great force) one might, without any
 20 107|       themselves against foreign force. It was natural for them
 21 122|         to all parts whereof the force of its laws extends. But
 22 126|          where they are able, by force to make good their injustice;
 23 130|          and engages his natural force, (which he might before
 24 131|          laws; and to employ the force of the community at home,
 25 134|          soever backed, have the force and obligation of a law,
 26 136|        single strength, hath not force enough to defend himself
 27 137|   persons and estates, and put a force into the magistrate's hand
 28 137|         were upon equal terms of force to maintain it, whether

 30 137|         power of a multitude, to force them to obey at pleasure
 31 143|          right to direct how the force of the common-wealth shall
 32 143|        to be executed, and whose force is always to continue, may
 33 144|      have a constant and lasting force, and need a perpetual execution,
 34 144|          are made, and remain in force. And thus the legislative
 35 148|       both of them requiring the force of the society for their
 36 148|       impracticable to place the force of the common-wealth in
 37 148|          separately, whereby the force of the public would be under
 38 155|           being possessed of the force of the common-wealth, shall
 39 155|           shall make use of that force to hinder the meeting and
 40 155|         require it? I say, using force upon the people without
 41 155|         they are hindered by any force from what is so necessary
 42 155|          a right to remove it by force. In all states and conditions,
 43 155|   conditions, the true remedy of force without authority, is to
 44 155|          authority, is to oppose force to it. The use of force
 45 155|          force to it. The use of force without authority, always
 46 172|     teaches, and made use of the force of war, to compass his unjust
 47 172|        that of beasts, by making force, which is their's, to be
 48 175| therefore many have mistaken the force of arms for the consent
 49 176|        over whomsoever they have force enough to master; or that
 50 176|         promises, which unlawful force extorts from them. Should
 51 179|         consented to that unjust force that is used against him:
 52 179|      only because they have used force to do, or maintain an injustice,
 53 179|       who have concurred in that force; all the rest are innocent;
 54 181|        usually a complication of force and damage, and the aggressor
 55 181|         the estate, when he uses force against the persons of those
 56 181|       upon; yet it is the use of force only that puts a man into
 57 181|     state of war: for whether by force he begins the injury, or
 58 181|          make reparation, and by force maintains it, (which is
 59 181|         first to have done it by force) it is the unjust use of
 60 181|          it is the unjust use of force that makes the war: for
 61 181|      having peaceably got in, by force keeps me out, does in effect
 62 181|          It is the unjust use of force then, that puts a man into
 63 181|   between man and man, and using force, the way of beasts, he becomes
 64 181|         destroyed by him he uses force against, as any savage ravenous
 65 182|       having subdued him that by force attempted his destruction;
 66 182|         it: for it is the brutal force the aggressor has used,
 67 182|          robbery on my side. His force, and the state of war he
 68 183|          wherein my defending by force what I had gotten unjustly,
 69 184|       other title than what bare force gives to the stronger over
 70 186|         is true, usually, by the force he has over them, compels
 71 186|     whether promises extorted by force, without right, can be thought
 72 186|          another gets from me by force, I still retain the right
 73 186|   extorting any thing from me by force. Nor does it at all alter
 74 186|         more than it excuses the force, and passes the right, when
 75 187|          a conqueror, imposed by force on the subdued, against
 76 189|        lawfull authority, whilst force, and not choice, compels
 77 192|          hard conditions were by force imposed on the possessors
 78 192|          direct slaves under the force of war.~
 79 196|       shaking off a power, which force, and not right, hath set
 80 196|      covenants, when obtained by force, have intervened: for it
 81 202|        law, and makes use of the force he has under his command,
 82 202|         as any other man, who by force invades the right of another.
 83 204|           To this I answer, that force is to be opposed to nothing,
 84 204|       but to unjust and unlawful force; whoever makes any opposition
 85 205|          violence, not liable to force, or any judicial censure
 86 206|         resisted, who use unjust force, though they pretend a commission
 87 207|     there can be no pretence for force, which is only to be used
 88 207|          to be accounted hostile force, but where it leaves not
 89 207|        an appeal; and it is such force alone, that puts him that
 90 207|          the possession of it by force, if I endeavour to retake
 91 207|     plain; because the one using force, which threatened my life,
 92 208|    themselves, and to recover by force what by unlawful force is
 93 208|        by force what by unlawful force is taken from them; yet
 94 209|  hindered from resisting illegal force, used against them, I cannot
 95 210|         and provisions did often force him to turn his course another
 96 211|         is the inroad of foreign force making a conquest upon them:
 97 212|       full liberty to resist the force of those, who without authority
 98 218|           because he, having the force, treasure and offices of
 99 219|          community to direct the force, or provide for the necessities
100 222|    provided for all men, against force and violence. Whensoever
101 222|       when he either employs the force, treasure, and offices of
102 226|          whoever they be, who by force break through, and by force
103 226|      force break through, and by force justify their violation
104 226|  civil-government, have excluded force, and introduced laws for
105 226|     themselves, those who set up force again in opposition to the
106 226|     authority, the temptation of force they have in their hands,
107 227|     rebellion: for if any one by force takes away the established
108 227|         of war, which is that of force without authority: and thus,
109 227|        war, And if those, who by force take away the legislative,
110 227|         and properties, shall by force invade and endeavour to
111 230|      either ruler or subject, by force goes about to invade the
112 231|        foreigners, attempting by force on the properties of any
113 231|     people, may be resisted with force, is agreed on all hands.
