And indeed, had Hobbes not lived, this discipline would not haverisen to its present height. Generally, my endeavour has been to take the good things out of Grotius and Hobbes, who are the best of all, and make them mine, excluding what is connected with error. I have learnt the rule of the Apostle Paul: test everything; hold to what is good. 8 If a good proposal was made by a bad man,the Spartans used to communicateitto one oftheephors, whowould stand up and speak forthesameidea,so that no healthy ideashould re\u0002main hidden becauseit originated in a bad man.Therefore,I do not think anyone sound in mindwillcharge me or makeita vicethatI hereand therefollowed their footsteps too closely; rather, if I may say it myself, that man [p.9] is praiseworthy who sees to it that tender youth is not imbued with false doctrines or imbibes impurities when they long for the wise man’s wine. As for the theological errors attributed to me, I think they are made up for by theshametheywho do so should feel, ifthey can feel it. One ortwo precious gains from theseslanderers still remain, so that they do not irritate meany longer. How could they believe meto beso ignorant ofwhat governs my eternalsalvation?And that I was so thoughtless that I would, for thesake of fame, be willing to run into the manifest danger of death that threatens those in this country who introduce novelties in religion. Recently there appeared a big bawler who charged me with horrendous errors in politics after he had seen that I was not destroyed by the theologians.9 He is shameless enough to ruin my fame by some means or other, producing enormous cries: the world would burn up, should my political doctrines be established."}

There are three immense sins in my books he alleges against me: first, that I suppose sociality to be the fundament of politics, which he wants to be abolished altogether; second that somewhere I hold that doctrines should say such things that are useful for states; and third that I have said that moral honesty is the result of God’s will, not of the nature of the thingitself.

When a pharmacist reads hastily and does not observe the letters exactly, so the invalid gets the wrong medication, he makes a vincible error, since he could and should have avoided it.

Voluntary ignorance is when someone refuses to learn the catechism and excuses himself on the grounds that he did not know it was forbidden.

Human beings act by free will that can be bent to various actions. But why does it go in various direc\u0002tions, when it always desires the good and abhors the bad? The answer is that the objects are represented to our understanding in various ways, so that they do not appear altogether pure but mixed, i.e. good with bad. That can be clearly seen in studies: on the one hand it is advantageous to be educated, on the other hand studying is connected with irksomeness and other troubles.

{"chroma:document":"The king is blamed if his subjects livelaxly because there are no laws or given laws are not observed nor crimes punished. Likewise, the priests are blamed if they allow the members of the church to sink down in all kinds of sin. In Ezechiel III:18 it says that ifa priest lets his hearer die in sin and has not corrected him when he could, he will have to answer for his soul before the divine tribunal. The same limits restrict parents as is told about the priest Eli in 1. Samuel 13 sq. He had not been strict enough when instructing his disobedient sons and was therefore punished. It is said that he ordered them to live decently, but scurfy heads need sharp medicine. as if someone were permanently attached to one person:) To be capable can be understood either (1) physically, [p. 16] a man being able to walk or unable to fly because he has no wings, or (2) morally and socially: in that sense it is impossible for a guide to exert such complete control that the subordinate does nothing evil against the will of his supervisor. Hecannotconstantly sit by him and bechained to him, as in Rome, where the soldier who was to watch over a culprit was coup\u0002led together with him. For instance, if a teacher handles his pupils severely and punishesthem when they offend, heisconsidered to havefulfilled his obligations. If however he goes out foran errand that no man can avoid,and the boys mangle each other or behaveshamefully;then theteacheris notto blame, only the offend\u0002ers, i.e. the pupils and their misbehaviour. The reason is that this was impossible fortheteacher not(1) physically(: forin defence ofthe pupilsitcould beanswered, that this would not have happened, if he had stayed at home), but (2) morally and socially, for he behaved according to theconditionsand conventions of human life and could not for the sake of decency relieve himself in the washroom.

This is clear in theexample of the devil, who is most powerfuland ableto prescribelaws. But he should adduce causes and reasons, for instance that he is our creator and defender. When we see that his reasons are false we do not obey his laws. Hence, if we consider why we ought to follow the laws of God, we will find first that he 19.

No doubt I say, theseactionsareentered upon with good intention; however, since one aspect of them, i.e. their object, is not consistent with the law, good intention is not sufficient for an action to be good. par. 12. some of the wise man’s actions may be unjust:) This appears from the well-known examplein the HolyWritabout David. Heissaid to have been a man according to God’s heart, i.e. a just man, which does not entail that all of his doings were just. The opposite is adduced by his evil deed against Uriah that suddenly overcame him due to human frailty.27 Likewise, when tyrants once or twice do something laudableand just,they do not immediately deserveto becalled just.In this matter one has to consideraboveall theaim and purpose of life, so that heis regarded as just whose actions are mostly just; hence David cannot be called unjust. Nor can a tyrant be just, for the aim of his life mainly consists of tyranny. par. 13. HenceAristotlesaid that justiceis virtuein relation to another person, 28 and who is not considered to act justly towards himself, when he behaves well? 29 par. 14. Aristotle, Grotius, [p.29] Hobbes and contemporary philosophers divide justice differently, and although the divisions of the latter are trotted out as Aristote\u0002lian, they are not. Understanding this distinction30 is much facilitated if we ob\u0002serve what it means to be indebted perfectly and imperfectly.

One cannot extort anything from others by imperfect right.

Chapter III March 14 [On natural law] Many scholars enlarge upon that this is the natural law, but they cannot agree upon what its foundation is. Some (1) refer to the essence of God himself: which means that a little creature is so arrogant that he tries to ascend to God’s throne and above his creator in order to investigate what has not been revealed to him, when he can understand not even the least of what has been revealed to us about him. Thus, we cannot locate its foundation in God himself.

Still, if it hap\u0002pens or we suppose it would happen that men did not care about that law, like a sick man who is aware that health will undoubtedly follow from complying with the medical precepts but nevertheless rejects them stubbornly, then the question arises if man can rightfully neglect the law of nature? The answer is no. Because [p. 35] the law of nature does not originate from human decision and conven\u0002tion like many positive laws, for instance the value of money that can lawfully be changed since it is stipulated by men, not by God. It is difficult to prove from the Holy Writ only that the law of nature comes from God.

I think this should be understood metaphorically, man seizing from their singing an opportunity to praise God. What Pliny in his Natural history tells about a deer saluting the sun is false.38 par. 12. known by nature:) is understood in a double sense: first, that something can be investigated by the intellect without illumination from the Holy Writ. In this senseall disciplinesareconsidered known by nature, natural law as well. Second, meaning that man when born into this world is at once in possession of the no\u0002tions thatconstitute natural law.If the phraseisaccepted in this sense, we deny it. For a child of two years cannot understand that parents shall be honoured, that one shall not steal etc. Here the dictum of Aristotle is usually adduced, where he compares the intellect [p. 36] of man with an unwritten tablet. 39 But this problem can very well be described by the simile of a mirror, which does not receive any ideas unless something comes before it, as happens when a man or something similar appears before it: then it represents."}

In the former, this phrase occurs in the Greek poet Aeschines; 43 in Latin it runs: you inscribe in the tablets of your mind, i.e. you impress it so that it will never be forgotten. Likewise Virgil: it remains deep in the mind. 44 Similarly in German: fix behind theear, i.e. impress in the mind so that it does not fall out of one’s memory. Also the holy writers, such as Jeremiah chap. 31:33 [p. 37], repeated by the Apostle, Hebrews 10:16, where he talks about the doctrine of the Gospel which is certainly not known by nature; instead he signifies by those words that he will set forth the Gospel so that itcan bereceived by anyone."}

Thesame prophet sayschap.17 that thesinsareinscribed in the hearts with an iron stick, i.e. the actual sins were not innate but so apparent. The same is deduced from the letter of Paul to the Corinthians 2 chap. 3: 2–3, which he says is written in their hearts. But at birth, the Corinthians did not know more about Paul than I did when I was born. Maria, in Luke 1:51, uses the same phrase. It does not mean anything different in theletter of the Apostle Paul to the Romans 1. 2 chap. 45 than that the notion of thelaw is so manifest that they can touch it with their hands. And this is easily understood with regard to the aim of the Apostle. Herefutes their tacit objection that the notion of thelaw,and of God, can vanish, as happens in obscure things and names like Polonicus. But Paulrejectsand anticipatesthis objection, meaning thatthey cannot drive outthe notion they have at least of the general precepts. This is how the phrase is to be understood. Even if an impious man would want to make his conscience callous in order to reject the act itself, he cannot expel the notion of what is honest. The soul is disposed to receive such a notion, although it is not there from the beginning. Some respond not very skilfully to [p. 38] Aristotle’s clean tablet by making a distinction between a complete and incomplete acquired condition, saying that the latter is in infants.

[p.40] As for the passage in Psalms 14, from which those who support the op\u0002posite position take their main argument, holding that there are also theoretical atheists, 46 weanswer, (1) that man can becomeso brutish that God blinds him as punishment for his sins; (2) some say that the passage should be understood like this: there is no avenging God who is concerned about the most minute of hu\u0002man things; hence, they deny divine providence, not the existence of God. Vide Grotius, De veritate religionis christianae 1. 2. from the subordination of causes:) If someone looks at a house, he sees in it the timber that comes from a tree that comes from a seed that comes from a fruit from another tree until one ends up in the first tree that did not create itself but comes from a superior principle."}

Similarly, there is subordination of causes from the parents of men right back to Adam, the first parent. from the motion:) When we see stars, the sun and other enormous heavenly bodies moving, it is necessary that there is something that impelled the motion into them. from reflection:) Imaginea man wholly focused on contemplating this fabric of the universe: he sees movement, blossoming and so on, and he cannot but con\u0002clude that there is a God, since such things do not come about by themselves. Similarly,a peasant,who has never heard an organ beforeand stopsshort on enter\u0002ing thechurch to listen to its delightful sound, willassert that the organ does not resound by itself but that it comes from some wise agent, i.e. a human being. claiming not to understand these arguments:) Likethe barbarians of India, who when the Europeans informed them about thereligion of thetrue God, declared us to be happy,although they themselvescould neither understand nor believein theexistence of God sincethey could not see him.

Furthermorethey said thatthe soul or spirit of all that is animate was a particle of that universal soul, i.e. God. The different pipes of an organ sound differently, they say, although they stem from onesinglespirit – that’s how it is with thesoul of the world or God. But this opinion is most absurd since it would entail that God would be the mover and author of all sins, because all human actions are ascribed to that soul, i.e. God, which is blasphemy. par. 4. Among the objections to divine providence there is also the argument that it is miserable to be involved in so different affairs. I answer that we argue ignorantly and presumptuously in comparing our imperfection with the power of God. He cares for us without trouble, which is different from us, who become impatient when facing a troublesome task. There is also the argument that good people are unfortunatein this world, whiletheevil thriveso thateven the piousareinduced to despair about divine providence, as appears from Psalms 73.

Indeed, if we reduce ourselves to nothing, we can make ourselves humble enough. par. 8. in a precise sense:) So that we do not put natural religion on a par with the Chris\u0002tian precepts, for then a kind of theological saving system would ensue. I differ from Christian theology first in the article about original sin. For human reason cannot reach the conclusion that we ourselves are the cause of our corruption, although Philippe Mornay in De religione Christiana53 thinks that corruption can be demonstrated from nature; his reasons are plausible and can be consid\u0002ered reasonable. But one ought to confess that it is an article of faith, for we can understand neither the articles that depend on original sin, nor God’s gratuitous promises. par. 9. religion the ultimate and strongest bond of human society:) Although Grotius in the Prolegomena of Dejure belliac pacis says that natural law isasufficient bond to keep men in obedience, wecannot subscribeto that.

Anyone would rage according to his pleasure and strength, and no compact would be honoured, no peace kept, if there was no religion. Oaths greatly restrain those who are in the state of nature, and an oath is an invocation of God. If weremove divine vengeance, who would stick to his promisesand keep an agreement? the cohesion of states:) For the king’s arm is not stronger than that of a private person,and thereis no bond strong enough throughwhich hecould keep so many thousands in obedience. What can one man do against so many? He who fears temporal punishment only may try to shake off the burden of misery laid upon his back by the prince, because hewould rather diethan lead his lifein such severe servitude that he gets, as the Swedes say in their proverb, anten bröd eller död (either bread or death). who will guard the guardians themselves:)54 The king cannot live without occa\u0002sionally exposing himselfand if hecan never besecure, hewill indeed bemiserable from daily fear of losing his life.

They can\u0002not complain to have been injured by that.

The capacity to do something does not always lead to action. 61 par. 12. already being attacked by another:) That is even before one is wounded in some way, as opposed to certain lawyers who require that one must first have been wounded by the aggressor before one can respond with lethal violence. par. 14. generally:) Unless someone bravely endures such aggression for the glory of God or to acknowledge his orthodox faith. [p.52] par. 18. man’s convenience:) From this we understand how unfair is the saying Let jus\u0002tice be done, though the world perish, 62 i.e. even if the whole world is turned upside down, the observation of the laws must be that rigid. But it should be corrected like this: let justice be done, so that the world may not perish. For the laws have been made in order to preserve men, and men are not born for their sake; hence, if it happens that they are that rigid, they should be tempered ac\u0002cording to the nature of human beings. For the positive laws of God do not rule out necessity, nor does Christ himself banish necessity in relation to the Sab\u0002bath. 63 From that can be concluded that the commandment of the Sabbath is not among the ultimate divine precepts, and if God connived at such thing, why not man?","document":"Pufendorfs föreläsningar i Lund, på engelska och latin.

Cicero, who is really troubled by thiscase, is inclined to answer in theaffirma\u0002tive. But I say that the merchant does not offend when concealing the advent of the fleet, for it was not in the contract that a fleet would arrive shortly.

This is what Mahomet did when, having promised some captive not to harm his head, he bisected him in the middle (about this Pufendorf, the major work p. 711). 79 Not to harm someone’s head means in ordinary use to leave the other uninjured altogether. It happened in Germany thatan insolent youngster promised to marry acredu\u0002lous girl, if only she could give him the supplies to do so. The girl asked when the wedding would be and he answered: in the first church that turns up, that is, ac\u0002cording to the usual meaning, in the church we first encounter on our way. The youngster did not keep his promise. Deceived, the girl accused him before the magistrate, and when questioned the swindler answered: We never see a church turn up, for all churches are immobile. That answer did not exonerate him. par. 4. See Pufendorf’s major work p. 713 § 5. In the kingdom of Naplestherewasa very rich noblemanwhoseimmensefortune was to be bequeathed to his only son.

An astronomer, doctor or naturalist writing about the crab need not always add the star, the disease or the fish, because this is obvious from the matter itself. Similarly, the jurist and the theologian use the word justice differently. [p.69] Sellers usually add: I will indemnifyyou in all cases. If someone buysan estateand it is destroyed by fire or by the enemy, the seller is not considered obliged to com\u0002pensate.

But when there is more than one reason for the law:) A law with different reasons is for instance the decree about superabundance at wedding banquets in order to restrict the number of guests. The first reason is that conspiracies are often formed during such gatherings, especially under tyrannical rule. The second reason is that people should not in that way be reduced to poverty. The third reason is that people must not get accustomed to carousing, when they should rather strive for temperance. If the first or second reason does not apply, one should not say: in my banquet there was no conspiracy, nor did I become poor. 81. Discussing in De jure V:12:6 ambiguity in juridical speech acts, Pufendorf gives the ex\u0002ample of statues of heroic tyrannicides being erected in Greek gymnasia in order to inspire the men; but what if the tyrannicide was a woman? – Zedechia was the last Jewish king who fatally misunderstood two seemingly contradicting prophecies, the one saying he would be brought to Babylon as a prisoner, the other he would never see Babylon; however, he came to Babylon, but blind, having had his eyes poked out. 82. The example is about the Spartan king Cleomenes, who interpreted a ‘three days truce’ with the enemy as not including the nights, thus justifying a successful nocturnal at\u0002tack. 164 t h e p u f e n d o r f l e c t u r e s Sed veltertiaratio satis potuitesse prohibendo acmodumpraescribendo.

For instance the precepts of not harming or being contemptuous ofanother, ofexercising kind\u0002ness, of keeping one’s word, of not lying, of being fair in contractsare binding for everybody in general without exception. But the precept to honour one’s parents cannot apply to those who have no parents, nor is a proprietor bound to obey a master and so forth. On the natural state of men:) In all books on politics, with one or two excep\u0002tions, thereis nothing or only littleabout this importantchapter.It is thefounda\u0002tion not only of political theory butalso of practical politics.Therefore, until now the doctors of politics have supplied an imperfect doctrine [p.72] if that chapter is missing. That they have written so sparsely on this topic must be ascribed to Aristotle, who however is not thecause of it but has provided the opportunity, so that hisfollowersconsiderallwisdomto have been exhausted by him. Everywhere those who propose something against Aristotle or that he lacks something are held in bad repute. SinceAristotle had said thatman isa politicalanimal,they im\u0002mediately said that statesareas naturalas thesun ora horse.

The other position is wrong by deficit. Its origin is Hobbes who in his political doctrinetries to defend the proposition that all men in the state of nature are enemies. Therefore, when there is peace between independent states it is not friendship or peace but only an armistice; there is an analogy of two fighters who take a rest when both are exhausted but fly at each otheragain when they are restored and cooled down. This is how it is in the state of nature, Hobbessays;thetruceis only to recoup power,althoughwecall it peace. He states another very bad rule: A prudent man should not miss any opportunity to oppress the other. For my foe loses no time to oppress me.

[p.76] The other position is denounced by all sane doctors of politics; Cicero in his golden De officiis declares impressively: Human life is not ordained to be a state of gladiators, where we are crushed by another unless we crush him.92 Therefore a middle way is to be fol\u0002lowed between these two positions that is in accordance with sound reason and the praxis of this world: Human beings in the state of nature are friends but not trustworthy, and peace between themis uncertain and unreliable.Thatweentertain a firmer friendship with our fellow countrymen comes from the judge, for if I injure someone, or vice versa, the judge is at once there to take vengeance, which does not happen in thestate of nature, wherethereis no judge. To this paragraph, see the author’s major work, book 2 chap. 2. eagerness to subvert the strength of others:) Those who, in thestate of nature, see that someone is becoming too powerful direct all their powers to bring an equal weight.

That is, if someone violates the terms of the matrimonial contract, the contract itself is annulled. par. 8. The papists do ill when they require seven degrees between which matrimony is not possible, including spiritualaffinity, which is when a boy and a girl have been baptized together. Butfrom thisthey make profit,asfrom their otherregulations, for the more degrees that are forbidden the more frequent are the exemptions, which are not granted without large compensation. par. 9. solemnities:) I do not think that the benediction and consecration of the priest was in useamong Christians from the beginning; thiscustom became dominant among other pious people. For the ancients celebrated their weddings in a social feast to which priests wereinvited who prayed forthespouses.This wasalaudable and pious custom that was first practiced out of probity but later of necessity, so that the priests were present at all wedding feasts and were paid for it. Therefore, the custom is necessary among the papists. Is it so among us as well? The answer is yes, since civil law can enjoin such ceremonies to be observed as necessary and that marriages become invalid otherwise. For the subject is obliged to follow not only natural law but civil law as well.

It is not enough to tell children that God has decided that they should obey their parents. Likewise, we admit that the political authority comes from God, butthatis notsufficient;again, one mustseek thesecond and nearestcauses. To show their foolishness more clearly, I will add a few examples. Sirach says: do not condemn the doctor, for God created him.96 Here, the doctor is said to be the creation of God, [p.81] but he will certainly be a stupid and the least experienced doctor if he neglects to read books, disdainsconsulting good teachersand refuses to practice. In Proverbs 30, it says that a prudent wife is God given,97 or a good creation of God, but that certainly does not exclude secondary causes. If I do not plead the wooer, if I do not talk well to the parents, if I do not carefully inquire into her reputation, I will certainly not get a wife, or only a bad one. In Psalms 105 it is said that bread is a creation of God, for which we ask in the prayer that God give us our daily bread.

Chapter V [On the impulsive cause of constituting the state] I do not believe that there were states before the Flood, only a consociation of separate masters.Thiscan be proved by thefact that thelife of peopleat that time was so corrupt, that God decided to destroy mankind. Forif there had been states it is not likely that thesavagerywould have been so great that God punished them with a universal flood. Nor were there any states immediately after the Flood; several centuries probably passed before they began. par. 1. hardly any amenity:) For a house of one’s own is a very pleasant thing with all kinds ofadvantages.Abraham wasasrich and lucky asany of uswho livein states, although he was not the subject of any state. from this basis:)Wecannoteasily discussthe power oftherulersand the obliga\u0002tion of the subjects if we do not understand the cause that made men constitute thestate.

I admit that there are many human inventions that God approves ofand ratifiesafterwards; for instance, I do not think God ordered or instituted slavery. However, after men had introduced it, heregarded theregulation as good. Itappears from both the New and the Old Testament that God did not disapprove of it, since Paul gives various precepts to be implanted in both slaves and masters. However, God established state power beforehand, in the same way as he established matrimony, although he does not marry thespousesas he did in the beginning. Still, hewho legitimately entersinto matrimony is regarded as living according to God’s ordinance. Similarly, Christ consecrated the ministers of his words once for all and not any longer. But if the priests nowadaysareinvested according to civil law, they areregarded as ordained by God. That is how matters stand with state power.

Nam sicut anima quidem regit univer\u0002sum corpus, quando vero de sede animae propria quaeritur quae non est brachium, pes vel podex, sed caput vel cerebrum. Ita anima sive forma civitatisest quidem in civitate; si vero quaestio instituatur de particulari ac propria sede, tum in universum non potest responderi uniformiter. Diversa enim sunt subjecta ubi formae haerent, alicubi, videlicet in uno homine, alicubi in pluribus selectis, alicubi per conventum hominum. Ergo divisionis fons fluit ex diversitate subjecti ubi potestas illa haeret. par. 3. dicitur monarchia:) A Theologis vox monarchiae alia accipitur significa\u0002tione quama Politicis,sicutapparetex explicationeeorumsuper visionem Danielis de IV bestiis denotantibus quatuor summa in mundo imperia seu monarchias.

It is said in a popular proverb: laws without sanction are like bells without a tongue. Chapter V III [On the forms of government] par. 1. On forms ofgovernment:) Ordinary political writersand the Scholasticscall form the way something is when it exists and so ascribe form to every kind of govern\u0002ment.Butin thatway allstateswould have oneformonly, viz. public defence.[p.88] I, however, determinetheform with regard to him who has the highestauthority. For thesoul governs the whole body,and when oneasks wherethesoul is located, it is not in thearm or in the fundament, but in the head or the brain. Thus, there is a form or a soul in the state. But the question of its particular location can\u0002not be answered uniformly. For the objects to which forms adhere are different; sometimes to onesingle man, sometimes to a number of selected men, sometimes to an assembly. 103 Therefore, the principle of the classification is derived from the diversity of the objects to which the power adheres. par. 3. is called monarchy:) Theologians give the word monarchy another meaning than political writers, as is clear from their explanation of Daniel’s vision of the four beasts who represent the four greatest empires or monarchies of the world.104 By the way, it should be pointed out that many scholars believe that the vision of Daniel does not describeallmonarchies untiltheconsummation oftime, but only those existing in era of the Jewish people. The Jewish state ceased in the time of Messiah, and the intention of Daniel was to describe the condition of the Jews; hence, the last beast represents only the Roman Empire at the time of the Jewish state, not the Roman Empirewe havetoday.

Pufendorf ’s argument here sounds Aristotelian, but what he criticizes is the opinion of those who make the form of the state dependent on accidental varieties within the three forms, i.e. monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. Cf. De jure VII:1:1. 104.

Sed perpetua vitia manent licet perso\u0002nae mutentur in statu morbido. par. 10. ad justa vicinorum odia:) Sicut Sparta olim solebat rapacitatem exercere. Unde in vicinorum odia facile talis civitas incurrere potest et opprimi facili negotio, multisillis vicinisadunitis. SicJudaeireddebantse odiosos vicinis, qui fugiebant omnem cum Ethnicis conversationem. Hoc qui\u0002dem Deus jusserat illis, sed Dei intentionem latius extendebant quam par erat, cum omnes haberent pro hostibus, prout Tacitus de ista gente dicit: Charitatem quidem intra se exercent Judaei, verum erga omnes alios hostile odium. non tarde aut difficulter expediri:) Sicut in Germania hoc vitium est, ubi tam multae sunt relationes et correlationes, ut omnia negotia mul\u0002toties circumgyrentur antequam aliquem sortiri possint exitum, prout constat variis ex exemplis. par. 12.

This was what God had commanded, but they extended God’s intention further than was right, when they regarded everybody as enemies, as Tacitus says about that nation: The Jews practice benevolence between themselves but hostile hatred towards all others. 105 cannot be done without delay and difficulty:)In Germany thereis so much toing and froing that all issues are circulated many times before they can come to any conclusion, as is clear from many examples. par. 12. irregular form of government:) A state is an agreement and a disposition, and it often happens that the rulers leave some defect. As in buildings, of which many are notconstructed according to therules ofarchitectureand thereforearecalled irregular. Likewise,thereare[p.90]many irregularfortifications.Itwas quite nec\u0002essary for meto introducethis distinction /between regularand irregularform of government/ into the doctrine of politics. It is best explained by the form of gov\u0002ernment in ancient Rome beforetheera of theemperors, when thesenateand the people ruled, and by the form of government of the Germans under the Roman emperor. Political theorists may trouble themselves to the utmost, but they will never disentangle themselves or satisfy others unless they accept this distinction.

As in Rome, wherethere was thesenate with thetwo consulsat its head,and the people. There is no such unity as in a regular form of government.

However, if it is not to their advan\u0002tage, he cannot force them to help him, for instance recently against the King of France. Experienceshows that some of them helped the King of Franceand some remained completely inactive without obeying theemperor, no matter how much he urged them to.

In the Nordicrealm the kingdoms of Sweden, Denmark,and Norway were under Queen Margaret in a way that the one kingdom should not depend on the other. Likewise in Spain where several kingdoms were united by way of marriage: Cas\u0002tile, Aragon etc. England and Scotland were united after Elizabeth had passed away, leaving no heir. He who wants to look deeper into these systems or unions of states will find them of little use. Sweden was twice part of such a system, first in the time of Margaret. 107 But she was always led by her greater love for her own kingdom Denmark. Therefore one should be very cautious about these systems, or rather avoid them, for many difficulties are thrown up by that perverted love, as when a wife is indignant when her husband loves another more than her. The other occasion was in thetime of Sigismund, who waselected king of Poland and preferred that kingdom to Sweden. 108 Further, things cannot possibly go well if the king is not present.

Nor does that word mean that the king can cheat his subjects out of their money to the last penny. Salmasius, otherwise a very learned man, un\u0002duly stressed this in his royal defense, 112 where heenumerates theroyal rightsand eventually holds that a king can act as he desires. By this he did not demonstrate the innocence of the king but he sullied his cause. [p.96] But he is called absolute who is set free from a certain rule and not restricted by a certain bond but free. But, first, kings are not released or free from divine and natural laws; they are bound by them as much as the poorest peasant. And, second, what this setting free, so to speak, consists of is clear from this comparison: In a contract, I either give the other a free or a restricted hand. The latter is when I prescribe how he shall do this or that and not transgress the agreement and my instructions while doing the job. The former is, when I commission someone to do something for me, but I leave it to his skill, prudenceand liberty to promote my utility as he pleases. He who is commissioned in this way is said to have an absolute power or mandate, not a limited one. Similarly, a king to whom the subjects grant the power to do at will whatever is useful for the public is said to have absolute authority.

There is no one in this kingdom who doubts that. But elsewhere there are flatterers who whisper that this is a great fault of the people and the king and contrary to God’s precept.

Some take refuge in the authority of the Holy Writ; their ar\u0002gument, put in logical form, is this: God wants the form of government he gave his chosen people Israel to be observed everywhere. There he prescribed absolute authority. Therefore it is contrary to the will of God if the king does not have [p.98] absolute power. But this syllogism is very weak, and both of the premises are wrong. The first, because it argues that all government should be modelled after the kings of Israel, although that form of government is not the oldest in the world. In 1. Samuel 8., wherethey demand a king, they usetheargument that all others have their kings. If the monarchy of Israel had been the first and God had wanted it to betheexampleforall other kingdoms, I would yield. He wanted state power in the world, but he did not decide a certain form for it; earlier the Jewish people themselves had democracy. Thus, God did not prescribe that there should be an absolute king.

In Judges 10:3–4 the judge Jair is mentioned who had 30 sons riding donkeys. 206 t h e p u f e n d o r f l e c t u r e s [p. 100] Caput X [De modis acquirendi Imper ium, inprimis monarchicum] par. 4. imperfectam formam:) Sicut in animalium generatione contingit, cum delineatio membrorum sitfacta, neque potest vocarianimal, nequerudis massa, sed aliquod medium ac tertium, sc. embryo.
