And to let us see, that even absolute power, where it is necessary, is not arbitrary by being absolute, but is still limited by that reason, and confined to those ends, which required it in some cases to be absolute, we need look no farther than the common practice of martial discipline: for the preservation of the army, and in it of the whole common-wealth, requires an absolute obedience to the command of every superior officer, and it is justly death to disobey or dispute the most dangerous or unreasonable of them; but yet we see, that neither the serjeant, that could command a soldier to march up to the mouth of a cannon, or stand in a breach, where he is almost sure to perish, can command that soldier to give him one penny of his money; nor the general, that can condemn him to death for deserting his post, or for not obeying the most desperate orders, can yet, with all his absolute power of life and death, dispose of one farthing of that soldier's estate, or seize one jot of his goods; whom yet he can command any thing, and hang for the least disobedience; because such a blind obedience is necessary to that end, for which the commander has his power, viz.

让我们看看，即使在绝对权力有必要的地方，也不会因为权力的绝对而变得肆意，而仍然受那个原因和目的的限制，在某些情况下要求权力是绝对的，我们只要看看军事纪律的普遍应用：为保护军队——这是与整个共同体一致的——要求对上级军官绝对的服从，这些命令即使非常危险或没有理由，不服从或表示异议也可以处死；然而我们知道，一个士官，他可以命令一个士兵冲向炮口，或坚守阵地，在这种情况下几乎必死，但是他也不能命令士兵交给他一个便士；一个将军，可以因士兵擅离岗位或没有遵守不顾一切的命令而处死，然而他也不能用他对生死的绝对权力而处置或夺走那个士兵一丁点儿的财产；虽然他能够对士兵下任何命令，稍不服从即可处死；因为对那个目的而言，这样的盲目服从是必要的，为着那个目的，即保护其余的人，指挥者拥有这种权力；但是处置士兵的财产与此无关。良好的人性，恰当的理性，和对上帝的信仰。
