241。　But；　farther；　this　question；　Who　shall　be　judge？　cannot　mean
  that　there　is　no　judge　at　all。　For　where　there　is　no　judicature　on
  earth　to　decide　controversies　amongst　men；　God　in　heaven　is　judge。
  He　alone；　it　is　true；　is　judge　of　the　right。　But　every　man　is　judge
  for　himself；　as　in　all　other　cases　so　in　this；　whether　another　hath
  put　himself　into　a　state　of　war　with　him；　and　whether　he　should　appeal
  to　the　supreme　judge；　as　Jephtha　did。
  242。　If　a　controversy　arise　betwixt　a　prince　and　some　of　the
  people　in　a　matter　where　the　law　is　silent　or　doubtful；　and　the
  thing　be　of　great　consequence；　I　should　think　the　proper　umpire　in
  such　a　case　should　be　the　body　of　the　people。　For　in　such　cases
  where　the　prince　hath　a　trust　reposed　in　him；　and　is　dispensed　from
  the　common；　ordinary　rules　of　the　law；　there；　if　any　men　find
  themselves　aggrieved；　and　think　the　prince　acts　contrary　to；　or　beyond
  that　trust；　who　so　proper　to　judge　as　the　body　of　the　people　（who　at
  first　lodged　that　trust　in　him）　how　far　they　meant　it　should　extend？
  But　if　the　prince；　or　whoever　they　be　in　the　administration；　decline
  that　way　of　determination；　the　appeal　then　lies　nowhere　but　to　Heaven。
  Force　between　either　persons　who　have　no　known　superior　on　earth　or；
  which　permits　no　appeal　to　a　judge　on　earth；　being　properly　a　state　of
  war；　wherein　the　appeal　lies　only　to　heaven；　and　in　that　state　the
  injured　party　must　judge　for　himself　when　he　will　think　fit　to　make
  use　of　that　appeal　and　put　himself　upon　it。
  243。　To　conclude。　The　power　that　every　individual　gave　the　society
  when　he　entered　into　it　can　never　revert　to　the　individuals　again；
  as　long　as　the　society　lasts；　but　will　always　remain　in　the　community；
  because　without　this　there　can　be　no　community…　no　commonwealth；　which
  is　contrary　to　the　original　agreement；　so　also　when　the　society　hath
  placed　the　legislative　in　any　assembly　of　men；　to　continue　in　them　and
  their　successors；　with　direction　and　authority　for　providing　such
  successors；　the　legislative　can　never　revert　to　the　people　whilst　that
  government　lasts：　because；　having　provided　a　legislative　with　power　to
  continue　for　ever；　they　have　given　up　their　political　power　to　the
  legislative；　and　cannot　resume　it。　But　if　they　have　set　limits　to
  the　duration　of　their　legislative；　and　made　this　supreme　power　in
  any　person　or　assembly　only　temporary；　or　else　when；　by　the
  miscarriages　of　those　in　authority；　it　is　forfeited；　upon　the
  forfeiture　of　their　rulers；　or　at　the　determination　of　the　time　set；
  it　reverts　to　the　society；　and　the　people　have　a　right　to　act　as
  supreme；　and　continue　the　legislative　in　themselves　or　place　it　in　a
  new　form；　or　new　hands；　as　they　think　good。
