PG here, Day 63 of 100, Chapter 11, Section 135, Pages 61 and 62, John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government with A Letter Concerning Toleration." Each of you will be held accountable to know this. From the White House to the illegal sneaking over the border. Once you touch American soil, we, the people, with God's help and his holy army of angels and his powerful holy moral laws, will hold you accountable to know the things within this book. It is the duty of every American citizen, even a foreigner, tourist, or visitor, to know this book. I am saying it is a sin to not know this book. It is a firm responsibility for every man, woman, and child to know this information. Whether you are a Christian or not. This is the mixture of ingredients that makes the laws that are universal for all men.
excerpt from section 135:......... No one can be a part of a political society, voting system, or self-government without the knowledge of these ingredients that form a wholesome, good, fair, just, and healthy society: for no body can transfer to another more power than he has in himself; and no body has an absolute arbitrary power over himself, or over any other, to destroy his own life, or
take away the life or property of another.....but only so much as the law of nature gave him for the preservation of himself,
and the rest of mankind...................the legislative can have no more than this. Their power, in the utmost bounds
of it ,is limited to the public good of the society. It is a power, that hath no other end but preservation, and therefore can never have a right to destroy, enslave, or designedly to impoverish the subjects................ Thus the law of nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, legislators as well as others. The rules that they make for other men's actions, must, as well as their own and other men's actions, be conformable to the law of nature, i.e. to
the will of God, of which that is a declaration, and the fundamental law of nature being the preservation of mankind, no human sanction can be good, or valid against it.
Note: the common
good, for which societies are instituted. Unless they do this, they are not perfect. Hooker's Eccl. Pol. l. i. sect. 10.)
Do What?
All laws must be for the preservation of each person and for the common good according to the laws of nature and the laws of God. i.e., the word ordained" means a law is from God; good, wholesome, pure, just, and fair........ we call the law of a common-weal, the very soul of a politic body, the parts whereof are by law animated, held together, and set on work in such actions as the common good requireth. Laws politic, ordained for external order and regiment amongst men
