Significance of the passage

I think, in this passage, John Locke tells us that if man cans things without laws, they may go too far and only concern about themselves. It will make the society spate and dangerous; esperically, if the king's power was not limited or supervised by law but nature law. In the long time, in this chaotic order, the society was usually controlled by a remiss king, however, although people would finally know what they should do to deal with the problem, with the inheritance of the throne, they could not do anything because they would think the king was appointed by God. That is a good but ridiculous reason for the so-called monarch to save their throne.So,John Locke reminded us that we should establish a government even if there is a king, that was supervised by law so that to make the society harmonious.
