Cleverly assorted scraps of spurious science are inculcated upon the children to prove necessity of law; obedience to the law is made a religion; moral goodness and the law of the masters are fused into one and the same divinity. The historical hero of the schoolroom is the man who obeys the law, and defends it against rebels.
The Difficulty lies, in finding out an exact Measure but eat for Necessity, not Pleasure, for Lust knows not where Necessity ends.
The necessity of war, which among human actions is the most lawless, hath some kind of affinity with the necessity of law.

For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
God gave a law ... called justice.

This law is called necessity.
