1. If you can, arrest your adversary — apprehending that he will assault you again: in such case you may
lay hold of him and take him to a Constable or a Judge
See the Law of Arrests.
2. 2. If you can not, restrain him without pain Or if that is not in your power without suffering more,
you may take any means of disabling him for the time
from carrying on the attack, that can be taken without
putting him in pain: as by holding him or tying his hands
behind him.
3. 3. If not that, by pain Or if that cannot be done without your suffering a
further damage, you may beat him or otherwise put him
to pain, as much as is necessary to deter terrify him or disable
him from prosecuting his purpose.
4. If not so, by killing him if necessary. If you cannot thus make him desist, and you have
no cheaper way of saving yourself from being killed
or suffering an irreparable personal injury, You may
kill him.
