only_o draw_v from_o a_o general_n knowledge_n and_o scholastic_a learning_n for_o the_o most_o part_n prove_v vain_a and_o useless_a for_o though_o the_o slander_n by_o do_v sometime_o see_v more_o

that_o he_o that_o stand_v in_o the_o valley_n can_v best_o view_v the_o mountain_n yet_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v wish_v that_o no_o man_n will_v concern_v himself_o with_o these_o sort_n of_o

thus_o far_o that_o great_a man_n have_v discourse_v of_o these_o sort_n of_o duty_n but_o i_o have_v he_o in_o latin_a have_v perhaps_o take_v off_o something_o of_o the_o elegance_n of_o his_o

to_o i_o but_o to_o he_o to_o determine_v only_o i_o will_v assure_v my_o reader_n i_o do_v not_o consult_v many_o book_n for_o it_o but_o i_o have_v rather_o endeavour_v to_o represent_v thing_n as_o i_o find_v they_o by_o experience_n nor_o do_v i_o know_fw-mi of_o any_o one_o who_o before_o i_o have_v make_v any_o such_o attempt_n for_o though_o many_o have_v write_v the_o law-part_n both_o in_o

justice_n of_o peace_n be_v of_o a_o vast_a extent_n and_o if_o my_o reader_n be_v but_o please_v to_o consult_v the_o head_n of_o this_o discourse_n he_o will_v find_v it_o be_v no_o barren_a subject_n for_o moral_a reflection_n there_o be_v no_o one_o virtue_n in_o the_o world_n of_o which_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n as_o such_o will_v not_o sometime_o stand_v in_o need_n and_o there_o
