compassion_n and_o care_n of_o his_o friend_n moreover_o to_o make_v man_n more_o ready_a to_o do_v good_a office_n god_n have_v put_v passion_n in_o they_o whereby_o they_o be_v deep_o affect_v

time_n of_o the_o necessity_n for_o man_n to_o confederate_a and_o join_v together_o in_o body_n by_o rule_n and_o covenant_n may_v be_v offer_v nature_n teach_v we_o that_o what_o it_o have_v leave_v

insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n there_o shall_v be_v general_a rule_n to_o separate_v and_o distinguish_v one_o man_n share_n and_o propriety_n from_o another_o which_o be_v what_o we_o mean_v by_o law_n and_o the_o make_v a_o equal_a division_n among_o all_o party_n in_o like_a circumstance_n be_v style_v justice_n which_o virtue_n the_o 1._o philosopher_n think_v more_o difficult_a to_o be_v practise_v because_o it_o primary_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o good_a of_o other_o man_n but_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o virtue_n to_o ourselves_o indeed_o there_o can_v be_v no_o encouragement_n for_o man_n to_o labour_n and_o cultivate_v the_o earth_n if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o restrain_v the_o strong_a from_o take_v by_o violence_n or_o the_o weak_a from_o secret_o purloin_v the_o fruit_n and_o product_n of_o his_o honest_a industry_n or_o to_o punish_v the_o malicious_a person_n who_o spite_n and_o ill_a nature_n shall_v prompt_v he_o to_o do_v a_o

not_o much_o preferable_a to_o that_o of_o the_o wild_a beast_n of_o the_o forest_n they_o both_o spend_v their_o time_n in_o hunt_v for_o their_o food_n and_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n

some_o low_a degree_n of_o advantage_n from_o such_o imperfect_a society_n as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o by_o their_o nature_n 4._o that_o unless_o man_n submit_v to_o the_o authority_n erect_v and_o establish_v in_o every_o society_n for_o the_o government_n of_o it_o no_o society_n or_o community_n can_v subsist_v or_o continue_v if_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v so_o contrive_v the_o state_n of_o thing_n that_o mankind_n can_v live_v happy_o in_o the_o world_n out_o of_o community_n or_o confederate_a body_n and_o if_o subjection_n to_o the_o sovereign_a power_n in_o every_o community_n be_v require_v absolute_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o it_o then_o god_n have_v make_v subjection_n a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o the_o member_n of_o the_o community_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n will_v be_v more_o clear_a and_o evident_a by_o consider_v the_o several_a thing_n require_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o society_n or_o community_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v these_o three_o 1._o that_o there_o shall_v be_v law_n enact_v and_o publish_v for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o society_n as_o i_o have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o dictate_v of_o nature_n that_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o good_a thing_n it_o do_v bring_v forth_o shall_v be_v divide_v among_o man_n for_o uphold_v peace_n and_o order_n in_o the_o world_n so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o what_o portion_n thereof_o every_o particular_a man_n shall_v enjoy_v must_v be_v determine_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o community_n where_o he_o reside_v it_o be_v the_o work_n
