Constitut. Code
Next as to the Lawyers. External enemies are the
enemies against whom the force and intimidation
by which the Soldier operates are principally and most
avowedly prepared: but incidentally they are as often as occasion calls
distinction as to force has for its distinction the being employed
against the subject citizens in the character of most
natural, most constant and nearest enemies. As to the force scale
the force what it is his distinction to apply is applie in
each individual case instance applied upon the largest scale.
The subjects enemies to which that force is applied which is not the command
of the Lawyer are no others than those same internal
enemies, and upon those in its application to them it
operates upon the smallest scale: if the scale is to a certain

Force and intimidation are the only instruments of which
the Soldier to the use of which the instruments operations of
the Soldier are purposely directed. Of corrupive influence
he has sees no need: of delusive influence a little.

or Goddess upon Earth, a sort of Divinity which he calls Common Law. Of

the external instruments of felicity in the largest quantity, to exercise for
that purpose the arts of depredation and oppression all this for
the benefit of the Monarch, his subordinate occupation
subordinate in profession, principal of course in design and
wish is to exercise the same arts for his own benefit.
