Psalm 26
Judica me, Domine
Judge me, Dominated
1 Give judgment for me, O Lord,
for I have lived with integrity;
I have trusted in the Lord and have not faltered.
2 Test me, O Lord, and try me;
examine my heart and my mind.
3 For your love is before my eyes;
I have walked faithfully with you.
4 I have not sat with the worthless,
nor do I consort with the deceitful.
5 I have hated the company of evildoers;
I will not sit down with the wicked.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence, O Lord,
that I may go in procession round your altar,
7 Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving
and recounting all your wonderful deeds.
8 Lord, I love the house in which you dwell
and the place where your glory abides.
9 Do not sweep me away with sinners,
nor my life with those who thirst for blood,
10 Whose hands are full of evil plots,
and their right hand full of bribes.
11 As for me, I will live with integrity;
redeem me, O Lord, and have pity on me.
12 My foot stands on level ground;
in the full assembly I will bless the Lord.

The threshing floors will be full of grain.
The vats will overflow with wine and oil.

Międzyrzecze
Międzyrzecze (Meseritz) is a town in western Poland. The town's name refers to Mesopotamia ("between rivers" in Polish). It is located at the confluence of the Obra River and the Paklica tributary. The municipal area is in a particularly green part of Poland. Extensive forests and numerous lakes can be found in the vicinity.
The settlement is on the road leading from Magdeburg, Saxony to Gniezno in central Poland. it was first mentioned as Mezerici by the medieval chronicler Thietmar of Merseburg in the course of the 1005 campaign of King Henry II of Germany into the Polish lands of Duke Bolesław I Chrobry.
Map of the Holy Roman Empire
Miedzyrecze was located close to the border with the Holy Roman Empire. It remained a western outpost of the Duchy of Greater Poland established by the 1138 Testament of Bolesław III Krzywousty. It was incorporated into the Poznań district of the Polish Crown upon the coronation of King Władysław I the Elbow-high in 1320.
German settlers began to migrate into the area in the course of the eastern expansion under the rule of his successor Casimir III the Great (1333–1370). Town privileges were confirmed by King Casimir IV Jagiellon in 1485.

Leviathan
1651
Text
"No Discourse whatsoever, can End in absolute knowledge of Fact, past, or to come. For, as for the knowledge of Fact, it is originally, Sense; and ever after, Memory. And for the knowledge of Consequence, which I have said before is called Science, it is not Absolute, but Conditionall. No man can know by Discourse, that this, or that, is, has been, or will be; which is to know absolutely: but onely, that if This be, That is; if This has been, That has been; if This shall be, That shall be: which is to know conditionally; and that not the consequence of one thing to another; but of one name of a thing, to another name of the same thing."

"When men consider the great pains, industry, and parts that have for so many ages been laid out on the cultivation and advancement of the sciences, and that notwithstanding all this the far greater part of them remains full of darkness and uncertainty, and disputes that are like never to have an end, and even those that are thought to be supported by the most clear and cogent demonstrations contain in them paradoxes which are perfectly irreconcilable to the understandings of men, and that, taking all together, a very small portion of them does supply any real benefit to mankind, otherwise than by being an innocent diversion and amusement--I say the consideration of all this is apt to throw them into a despondency and perfect contempt of all study. But this may perhaps cease upon a view of the false principles that have obtained in the world, amongst all which there is none, methinks, has a more wide and extended sway over the thoughts of speculative men than this of abstract general ideas."

"Whether this propensity [for trade] be one of those original principles in human nature of which no further account can be given; or whether, as seems more probable, it be the necessary consequence of the faculties of reason and speech, it belongs not to our present subject to inquire. It is common to all men, and to be found in no other race of animals, which seem to know neither this nor any other species of contracts. Two greyhounds, in running down the same hare, have sometimes the appearance of acting in some sort of concert. Each turns her towards his companion, or endeavours to intercept her when his companion turns her towards himself. This, however, is not the effect of any contract, but of the accidental concurrence of their passions in the same object at that particular time. Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog. Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that. When an animal wants to obtain something either of a man or of another animal, it has no other means of persuasion but to gain the favour of those whose service it requires."

The propensity for trade is common to humans.

Metaphysics of Morals

Text
"THERE is nothing in the world which can be termed absolutely and altogether good, a good will alone excepted. Intellectual endowments, wit, and extent of fancy, as also courage, determination, and constancy in adhering to purposes once formed, are undeniably good in many points of view; but they are so far from being absolutely good, that they are qualities capable of being rendered bad and hurtful, when the will, under whose control they stand, is not itself absolutely good."
------------------------
A good will is the strongest of values
when the goodness is not idealized into a vacuum.

The Law of Nations
1797
Text
"The Romans often confounded the law of nations with the law of nature, giving the name of “the law of nations” (Jus Gentium) to the law of nature, as [iv] being generally acknowledged and adopted by all civilised nations. The definitions given by the emperor Justinian, of the law of nature, the law of nations, and the civil law, are well known. “The law of nature” says he, “is that which nature teaches to all animals”: thus he defines the natural law in its most extensive sense, not that natural law which is peculiar to man, and which is derived as well from his rational as from his animal nature."

Principles of Morals and Legislation

Text
"The principle of asceticism seems originally to have been the reverie of certain hasty speculators, who having perceived, or fancied, that certain pleasures, when reaped in certain circumstances, have, at the long run, been attended with pains more than equivalent to them, took occasion to quarrel with every thing that offered itself under the name of pleasure. Having then got thus far, and having forgot the point which they set out from, they pushed on, and went so much further as to think it meritorious to fall in love with pain. Even this, we see, is at bottom but the principle of utility misapplied."
------------------------
Having reaped a general principle from a particular experience
ascetics have fallen in love with pain as a prurience.

The Open Society and Its Enemies, Vol.2
1944
Text
"[This book] attempts to show that this civilization has not yet fully recovered from the shock of its birth — the transition from the tribal or 'closed society', with its submission to magical forces, to the 'open society' which sets free the critical powers of man. It attempts to show that the shock of this transition is one of the factors that have made possible the rise of those reactionary movements which have tried, and still try, to overthrow civilization and to return to tribalism."

Primitive society is closed to civilization by belief in magical forces.
Rebellions have tried to overthrow civilization as a matter of course.
