"...when in a war, foreign or intestine, the enemies get a final victory, so as, the forces of the Commonwealth keeping the field no longer, there is no further protection of subjects in their loyalty, then is the Commonwealth dissolved, and every man at liberty to protect himself by such courses as his own discretion shall suggest unto him."Thomas Hobbes - Leviathan, 1651
Yes ‘Sir’ you are indeed correct...
“...own discretion shall suggest unto him....” is right on.
