https://english.hku.hk/staff/kjohnson/PDF/LockeJohnSECONDTREATISE1690.pdfA Letter of Toleration is about salvation, the road to salvation to die and go to heaven, yes, but also how it applies to having heaven on earth! The thesis on government shows us the perfect union of one man to another, joining in unity for the protection of property, your possession.
As lifestyles and never do any hard work for yourself because the machines will do it all. No physical exercise, no mothers and fathers getting married to have babies. The human race is going extinct. There are as many older adults getting ready to meet their maker as there are ones under 50! There should be 300 times more young humans than older ones. Farming, putting a shovel in the ground, planting fields, raising crops, using horses, butchering, and feeding animals every day. At home with 10 of your children teaching, training, and raising. (Amish, Mennonite, etc.)
The express conditions limiting or regulating the government's power to feel safe and secure. The leader must be honest, upright, good, and prudent. Society can not operate with Jure Divino, an expression meaning "by divine right" used in connection with the question of the source of ministerial authority.
They wrote it down so others could read and start their own governments using the gospel of Jesus Christ. The principles of Brotherly love for our neighbors and divine rights of the individual to be free from sin, love, and worship God. Using every minute of their lives in service to pleasing God and God alone. Martin Luther, of the reformation in 1517, wrote the 95 theses. It is the first Declaration of Independence for mankind. A society and government made up of Freemen, holy, pure, and clean in thought and deed.

PG here Sect. 113. That all men being born under government, some or other, it is impossible any of them should ever be free, and at liberty to unite together, and begin a new one, or ever be able to erect a lawful government. If this argument be good; I ask, how came so many lawful monarchies into the world? for if any body, upon this supposition, can shew me any one man in any age of the world free to begin a lawful monarchy, I will be bound to shew him ten other free men at liberty, at the same time to unite and begin a new government under a regal, or any other form; it being demonstration, that if any one, born under the dominion of another, may be so free as to have a right to command others in a new and distinct empire, every one that is born under the dominion of another may be so free too, and may become a ruler, or subject, of a distinct separate government.
And so by this their own principle, either all men, however born, are free, or else there is but one lawful prince, one lawful government in the world. And then they have nothing to do, but barely to shew us which that is; which when they have done, I doubt not but all mankind will easily agree to pay obedience to him. Sect. 114. Though it be a sufficient answer to their objection, to shew that it involves them in the same difficulties that it doth those they use it against; yet I shall endeavour to discover the weakness of this argument a little farther. All men, say they, are born under government, and therefore they cannot be at liberty to begin a new one. Every one is born a subject to his father, or his prince, and is therefore under the perpetual tie of subjection and allegiance. It is plain mankind never owned nor considered any such natural subjection that they were born in, to one or to the other that tied them, without their own consents, to a subjection to them and their heirs.

Finally, 6.) PG here, Sunday, April 6, 2025, John Locke, "Second Treatise of Government with A Letter Concerning Toleration," Chapter 8, Sections 115 and 116, Day 54 on Pages 53 and 54. Proving through history against the idea of a king being the divine authority on the earth. Like the Pope or a king, centralized world banking or government. Paternal is how it is written. One man, or a universal monarchy, as leader of the world. It is very easy to read and understand English. Sacred means the Holy Bible; profane means other histories. Thus the chapter title: ***Of the Beginnings of Political Societies.***
Sect. 115. For there are no examples so frequent in history, both sacred and profane, as those of men
Sect. 116. This has been the practice of the world from its first beginning to this day; nor is it now any

Day 55: Every child born is a Freeman. As an adult, they decide which society to join. The only way people get the right to govern anyone else is when the people give their consent (approval/permission). Monday, April 7, 2025, John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government with A Letter of Toleration," Chapter 8, ***Of the Begiinings of Political Societies***, Section 117 and 118, Pages 54 and 55, Day 55. If a child has two parents who are subjects of two different governments, neither government can claim the child as a subject.
Excerpt Section 118: It is plain then, by the practice of governments themselves, as well as by the law of right reason, that a child is born a subject of no country or government. He is under his father's tuition and authority, till he comes to age of discretion; and then he is a freeman, at liberty what government he will put himself under, what body politic he will unite himself to: for if an
Englishman's son, born in France, be at liberty, and may do so, it is evident there is no tie upon him by his father's being a subject of this kingdom; nor is he bound up by any compact of his ancestors. And why then hath not his son, by the same reason, the same liberty, though he be born any where else?Since the power that a father hath naturally over his children, is the same, where-ever they be born, and the ties of natural obligations, are not bounded by the positive limits of kingdoms and commonwealths. Tommorrow Day 56, Chapter 8, Sect. 119. Every man being, as has been shewed, naturally free, and nothing being able to put him into subjection to any earthly power, but only his own consent; it is to be considered, what shall be understood to be a sufficient declaration of a man's consent, to make him subject to the laws of any government......On Blogger Isaiah 58 Ministries, #7 John Locke SToGwALCT, Starting Chapter 8

PG here. Weekend Yard Sale is in full swing; I hope yours is too. Tuesday, April 8, 2025, Day 56, Pages 55 and 54, Chpt. 8, John Locke's Second Treatise of Government, Chapter Title "The Beginning of Political Societies." I think President Trump took this chapter to heart. I, PG am. When you consent to a civil society or enter into a political government, your property and personal possessions come under the society's jurisdiction. Men join political societies for the protection of property. But when members of that society take from others God-given authority, rights, and duties and obligations, like parents, they are not recognized; the state wants to take away your children and parental rights. When individuals are not treated fairly and equally, the property is no longer protected. I'll be selling everything I can on my property even though it might not be mine because people in my house do the above. President Trump thinks he can do the same and the New Global New World Order. Everyone, please study John Locke with me every day. To reclaim, take back our God-given power and authority. To join the founding fathers in a society under God's reign on this earth. Under Jesus as our High Priest and Savior. Our king can start running the United States of America. My people perish for lack of knowledge. Jesus told me my teacher is William Penn, the city of brotherly love. William Penn is a master builder under God. John saw what he was doing in America and wrote it down here for us to learn how to keep this more perfect union.
PG here, Day 57, Pages 56 and 57, Section 121 and 122, of chapter 8, ***Of the Beginnings of Political Societies,*** from John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government with a Letter of Toleration," published in 1689 in England, Dover Thrift Edition The conclusion of the chapter: Nothing can make any man so, but his actually entering into it by positive engagement, and express promise and compact.....................the beginning of political societies, and that consent which makes any one a member of any commonwealth.

The first compact in America was on board the Mayflower. The Mayflower Compact was written and signed by most of the male passengers on the Mayflower ship in November 1620 as they landed at Cape Cod. William Bradford recounts the event as “a combination made by them before they came ashore; being the first foundation of their government in this place.” Later the Plymouth settlers made a compact with the Indians. A peace treaty that lasted for 50 years until the chief of the Indians died and his did not enter into that same compact but withdrew and was in a State of War with the settlers. Published in 1622, Mourt’s Relation, which details the beginnings of Plimoth, continues on to say that under this agreement the colonists would “submit to such government and governors as we should by common consent agree to make and choose.” Plymouth is a perfect example of the beginnings of politics.
John Robinson, the pastor of the Separatist congregation, their pastor in England, gave them this advice: Robinson counselled the Pilgrims to choose as leaders those who “diligently promote the common good” and not to begrudge “in them the ordinariness of their persons, but God’s ordinance for your good” (Mourt’s Relation). Sections 121 and 122 are talking about a person living in someone's home, (abide), or in a different country other than their own country, are still subject to the governance of that society or family. That does not make them a member of the society or family. Only through a free will consent without fear or coercion do the people join in a covenant or compact like marriage. While in a family or country and enjoying all the protections and privileges, their possessions (from sects. 119 and 120) are also subject to the governance. They can donate, sell, or make quit of the possession. The person is free to take himself and his possessions and move to another country or home no longer under the governance of the family or country. pdf....english.hku.hk/staff/kjohnson/PDF/LockeJohnSECONDTREATISE1690.pdf

PG here. Yard Sale Today. John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government with A Letter Concerning Toleration." I don't have time to do a commentary. Self-teaching today. April 10, 2025, Day 58, pages 57 and 58, Brand New Chapter! Chapter 9, sections 123 and 124, "Of the Ends of Political Society and Government. Sect. 123. ***willing to join in society with others, who are already united, or have a mind to unite, for the mutual preservation of their lives, liberties and estates, which I call by the general name, Property*** IF man in the state of nature be so free, as has been said; if he be absolute lord of his own person and possessions, equal to the greatest, and subject to no body, why will he part with his freedom? why will he give up this empire, and subject himself to the dominion and controul of any other power? To which it is obvious to answer, that though in the state of nature he hath such a right, yet the enjoyment of it is very uncertain, and constantly exposed to the invasion of others:for all being kings as much as he, every man his equal, and the greater part no strict observers of equity and justice, the enjoyment of the property he has in this state is very unsafe, very unsecure. This makes him willing to quit a condition, which, however free, is full of fears and continual dangers: and it is not without reason, that he seeks out, and is willing to join in society with others, who are already united, or have a mind to unite, for the mutual preservation of their lives, liberties and estates, which I call by the general name, Property.

PG here, Saturday, April 12, 2025. I hope all your yard sales are doing well and you are meeting people to form your own political or civil societies of like-minded people. In our area there are 6 to 7 yard sales today! The only way to stop corporate greed and their printing presses is for us to buy and sell from each other. Protecting and profiting one another instead of the gangsters. You are the bankers you are the corporation. Section 131. The Teaching /last sentence is used by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence. The King of England refused to assent to the most wholesome good morals laws for the public good. The Declaration:***He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.*** Section 131: ***And so whoever has the legislative or supreme power of any commonwealth, isbound to govern by established standing laws, promulgated and known to the people, and not by extemporary decrees; by indifferent and upright judges, who are to decide controversies by those laws; and to employ the force of the community at home, only in the execution of such laws, or abroad to prevent or redress foreign injuries, and secure the community from inroads and invasion. And all this to be directed to no other end but the peace, safety, and public good of the people. *** Sections 129, 130, and 131 can be explained by reading the Declaration of Independence.

Sunday, April 13, 2025, Pages 59 and 60, Sections 132 and 133, Day 61 John Locke's, Second Treatise of Government with A Letter of consideration." Chapter 10, "Of the Forns of A Commonwealth."
the form of the government is a perfect democracy: or else may put the power of making laws into the hands of a few select men, and their heirs or successors; and then it is an oligarchy: or else into the hands of one man, and then it is a monarchy: if to him and his heirs, it is an hereditary monarchy: if to him only for life, but upon his death the power only of nominating a successor to return to them; an elective monarchy. And so accordingly of these the community may make compounded and mixed forms of government, as they think good. And if the legislative power be at first given by the majority to one or more persons only for their lives, or any limited time, and then the supreme power to revert to them again; when it is so reverted, the community may dispose of it again anew into what hands they please, and so constitute a new form of government: for the form of government depending upon the placing the supreme power, which is the legislative, it being impossible to conceive that an inferior power should prescribe to a superior, or any but the supreme make laws, according as the power of making laws is placed, such is the form of the commonwealth. Sect. 133. By commonwealth, I must be understood all along to mean, not a democracy, or any form of government, but any independent community, which the Latines signified by the word civitas, to which the word which best answers in our language, is commonwealth, and most properly expresses such a society of men, which community or city in English does not; for there may be subordinate communities in a government; and city amongst us has a quite different notion from commonwealth: and therefore, to avoid ambiguity, I crave leave to use the word commonwealth in that sense, in which I find it used by king James the first; and I take it to be its genuine signification; which if any body dislike, I consent with him to change it for a better.

CHAPTER. XI. OF THE EXTENT OF THE LEGISLATIVE POWER. Sect. 134. THE great end of men's entering into society, being the enjoyment of their properties in peace and safety, and the great instrument and means of that being the laws established in that society; the first and fundamental positive law of all commonwealths is the establishing of the legislative power; as the first and fundamental natural law, which is to govern even the legislative itself, is the preservation of the society, and (as far as will consist with the public good) of every person in it. This legislative is not only the supreme power of the commonwealth, but sacred and unalterable in the hands where the community have once placed it; nor can any edict of any body else, in what form soever conceived, or by what power soever backed, have the force and obligation of a law, which has not its sanction from that legislative which the public has chosen and appointed: for without this the law could not have that, which is absolutely necessary to its being a law,* the consent of the society, over whom no body can have a power to make laws, but by their own consent, and by authority received from them; and therefore all the obedience, which by the most solemn ties any one can be obliged to pay, ultimately terminates in this supreme power, and is directed by those laws which it enacts: nor can any oaths to any foreign power whatsoever, or any domestic subordinate power, discharge any member of the society from his obedience to the legislative, acting pursuant to their trust; nor oblige him to any obedience contrary to the laws so enacted, or farther than they do allow; it being ridiculous to imagine one can be tied ultimately to obey any power in the society, which is not the supreme.
(*The lawful power of making laws to command whole politic societies of men, belonging so properly unto the same intire societies, that for any prince or potentate of what kind soever upon earth, to exercise the same of himself, and not by express commission immediately and personally received from God, or else by authority derived at the first from their consent, upon whose persons they impose laws, it is no better than mere tyranny. Laws they are not therefore which public approbation hath not made so. Hooker's Eccl. Pol. l. i. sect. 10. Of this point therefore we are to note, that such men naturally have no full and perfect power to command whole politic multitudes of men, therefore utterly without our consent, we could in such sort be at no man's commandment living. And to be commanded we do consent, when that society, whereof we be a part, hath at any time before consented, without revoking the same after by the like universal agreement. Laws therefore human, of what kind so ever, are available by consent. Ibid.)

DAY 63 |
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
1.) PG here Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Chapter 11, Section 136, Day 64, Pages 62 and 63, "Of The Extent of Legislative Power." ***The Golden Age*** is based on the golden rule from God, William Penn's Brotherly Love, and Latin Philadelphia, where freedom was born on July 4th, 1776. Indissolubly:
unable to be destroyed; lasting, linked to the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and our Redeemer's purpose on earth, the furtherance of His kingdom on earth. John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration." The Golden Age is written into ***the Declaration of Independence.*** This is why all men must know this book. Cover to cover and have it memorized and then written on their hearts and minds.
2.)Excerpt: (*Human laws are measures in respect of men whose actions they must direct, howbeit such measures they are as have also their higher rules to be measured by, which rules are two, the law ofGod, and the law of nature; so that laws human must be made according to the general laws of nature,and without contradiction to any positive law of scripture, otherwise they are ill made. Hooker's Eccl. Pol. l. iii. sect. 9. To constrain men to any thing inconvenient doth seem unreasonable. Ibid. l. i. sect. 10.)
3.) Sect. 136. Secondly, The legislative, or supreme authority, cannot assume to its self a power to rule by extemporary arbitrary decrees, but is bound to dispense justice, and decide the rights of the subject by promulgated standing laws, and known authorized judges:* for the law of nature being unwritten, and so no where to be found but in the minds of men, they who through passion or interest shall miscite, or misapply it, cannot so easily be convinced of their mistake where there is no established judge: and so it serves not, as it ought, to determine the rights, and fence the properties of those that live under it, especially where every one is judge, interpreter, and executioner of it too, and that in his own case: and he that has right on his
4.) side, having ordinarily but his own single strength, hath not force enough to defend himself from injuries, or to punish delinquents. To avoid these inconveniences, which disorder men's propperties in the state of nature, men unite into societies, that they may have the united strengthof the whole society to secure and defend their properties, and may have standing rules to bound it, by which every one may know what is his. To this end it is that men give up all their natural power to the society which they enter into, and the community put the legislative power into such hands as they think fit, with this trust, that they shall be governed by declared laws, or else their peace, quiet, and property will still be at the same uncertainty, as it was in the state of nature.
PG here, Thursday April, 17, 2025, Day 65, Chapter 11, Section 137, Pages 63 and 64, John Locke's Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration. "Of the Extent of The Legislative Power." The basis of the Declaration of Independence. The basis of this book we are reading is divine inspiration for a more perfect union, the **Bible*** interpreted by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God, and ***Is Jesus*** the very power of the spoken word of God. Words do matter and are extremely powerful, especially when anointed by Almighty God, like this book.
Sect. 137. Absolute arbitrary power, or governing without settled standing laws, can neither of them consist with the ends of society and government, which men would not quit the freedom of the state of nature for, and tie themselves up under, were it not to preserve their lives, liberties and fortunes, and by stated rules of right and property to secure their peace and quiet. It cannot be supposed that they should intend, had they a power so to do, to give to any one, or more, an absolute arbitrary power over their
unknown wills, without having any measures set down which may guide and justify their actions: for all the power the government has, being only for the good of the society, as it ought not to be arbitrary and at pleasure, so it ought to be exercised by established and promulgated laws; that both the people may know their duty, and be safe and secure within the limits of the law; and the rulers too kept within their bounds, and not be tempted, by the power they have in their hands, to employ it to such purposes, and by such measures, as they would not have known, and own not willingly

Day 66 |
PG HERE, I AM SITTING OUTSIDE UNDER A CANOPY WITH BRIGHT CLEAR SKIES, AND IT IS 80 DEGREES. DOING AN EASTER GARAGE SALE. SHUTTING DOWN IN 4 HOURS. THE GRAND PIANO AND GRANDFATHER CLOCK ARE STILL FOR SALE. EXTREMELY WINDY. Friday, April 18, 2025, Day 66, Chapter 11, section 138 plus a little of section 139. Pages 64 and 65. The most important reason for a government is for men entering into a covenant to protect their property from others who want to take it. This could be your family, your personal relatives, or even your children. Yes, I know all about it. It isn't just evil in government that wants to take the personal property God has given you. Anyone who isn't obeying all ten commandments is trespassing on someone else's God-given land. Your property is first your heart, whom you love, worship, obey, and adore. It should be God Almighty. Obeying the first commandment. Your property of mind should be dwelling on "the greatness of God and knowing you are doing God's will 24/87/365. Controlling people, witches, advertisers, your bosses, spouses, children, etc., want you to center solely on them. Obeying and believing the lies people make up without the leadership of God their Father nor his son Jesus Christ.
