	Charles D. Orzech: Politics and Transcendent Wisdom
		The contexts of Buddhism as state religion in fifth- and eighth-century China are examined in detail, through extended consideration of the Transcendent Wisdom Scripture for Humane Kings Who Wish to Protect Their States, the text that was the charter for Buddhist state cults in China, Korea, and Japan into the twentieth century.
		The Scripture for Humane Kings and the rites enjoined by it were one answer to these questions.
		Three centuries later, in the context of a fully sinified Buddhism, the T'ang dynasty Tantric master Pu-k'ung produced a new version of the text with new rites that served as the centerpiece of his vision of a Chinese Buddhist state modeled on esoteric lines.

	Scripture for Humane Kings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scripture for Humane Kings is one of the more influential of the East Asian Buddhist apocryphal scriptures—texts that although purported by their unknown authors to be translations of Indian works, were actually composed in China and Korea.
		Thus, for example, where the interlocutors in most scriptures are arhats or bodhisattvas, the discussants in this text are the kings of the sixteen ancient regions of India.
		Another distinctive characteristic of this scripture is that a second "translation" was carried out a few centuries after the appearance of the original version, by the monk Pukong (不空 Amoghavajra), one of the most important figures in the Chinese Esoteric tradition.

		Though moderns do not share the same thought patterns as the ancients, still the practice of pagan human sacrifice did not represent "wanton cruelty," for in the matter at hand the ancients were motivated by what they sincerely considered to be ethically justifiable and rational principles.
		Thus, for example, the "scriptural" sanction of the genocidal massacring of non-combatants including women, children, and even infants is not to be taken as a "positive" divine "commandment" or "endorsement," but must be understood "negatively" as merely a record reflecting an historically ancient and provisional worldview.
		But we must ask ourselves whether this "humane" modern Catholic interpretation is not essentially the result of the Church's assimilation of the specifically pagan ethos of toleration which is increasingly influencing Christianity in its confrontation with modernity.

	Milton: Tenure of Kings and Magistrates
		We know, that king and subject are relatives, and relatives have no longer being than in the relation; the relation between king and subject can be no other than regal authority and subjection.
		For if by Scripture, and by that especially to the Romans, which they most insist upon, kings, doing that which is contrary to Saint Paul's definition of a magistrate, may be resisted, they may altogether with as much force of consequence be deposed or punished.
		And if by reason the unjust authority of kings "may be forfeited in part, and his power be reassumed in part, either by the parliament or people, for the case in hazard and the present necessity," as they affirm, p.
