    Well, maybe. If thou is for peasants, then the implication the commandments are directed specifically at the non-royal?

      No. OP got the premise a bit wrong, for one thing. And usually it was other poor people that did the sanctioned killing, anyway - it’s dirty unpleasant work that a king would have avoided in the Early Modern period.
