9. And Of Making War, And Peace, As He Shall Think Best:
10. And Of Choosing All Counsellours, And Ministers, Both Of Peace, And Warre:
11. And Of Rewarding, And Punishing, And That (Where No Former Law hath Determined The Measure Of It) Arbitrary:
12. And Of Honour And Order
These Rights Are Indivisible
And Can By No Grant Passe Away Without Direct Renouncing Of The Soveraign Power
The Power And Honour Of Subjects Vanisheth In The Presence Of The Power Soveraign
Soveraigne Power Not Hurtfull As The Want Of It, And The Hurt Proceeds For The Greatest Part From Not Submitting Readily, To A Lesse

Liberty Of The Subject How To Be Measured
Subjects Have Liberty To Defend Their Own Bodies, Even Against Them That Lawfully Invade Them
Are Not Bound To Hurt Themselves;
Nor To Warfare, Unless They Voluntarily Undertake It
The Greatest Liberty Of Subjects, Dependeth On The Silence Of The Law
In What Cases Subjects Absolved Of Their Obedience To Their Soveraign
In Case Of Captivity
In Case The Soveraign Cast Off The Government From Himself And Heyrs
In Case Of Banishment

Hurt Inflicted, If Lesse Than The Benefit Of Transgressing, Is Not Punishment
Where The Punishment Is Annexed To The Law, A Greater Hurt Is Not Punishment, But Hostility

The Representative Of The Common-wealth Unpunishable
Hurt To Revolted Subjects Is Done By Right Of War, Not By Way Of Punishment
