there_o where_o even_o their_o enemy_n shall_v destroy_v one_o another_o and_o fight_v though_o not_o profess_o yet_o in_o reality_n their_o battle_n and_o on_o their_o side_n but_o they_o know_v also_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n that_o a_o kingdom_n unite_v in_o itself_o can_v hardly_o fall_v and_o that_o where_o a_o whole_a nation_n shall_v combine_v together_o as_o one_o man_n as_o religious_a nation_n always_o will_v it_o will_v become_v invincible_a and_o like_o a_o mighty_a fortress_n secure_v without_o with_o strong_a and_o well-cemented_n wall_n and_o within_o by_o a_o resolute_a and_o faithful_a garrison_n not_o only_o receive_v the_o most_o impetuous_a attack_n of_o their_o enemy_n without_o much_o impression_n but_o likewise_o return_v they_o with_o redouble_a force_n and_o fury_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v not_o care_v for_o meddle_v with_o such_o a_o nation_n where_o they_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o become_v a_o prey_n than_o to_o obtain_v one_o but_o beside_o religion_n will_v most_o certain_o preserve_v any_o people_n from_o give_v foreign_a nation_n just_a ground_n and_o occasion_n of_o war_n for_o it_o will_v not_o only_o teach_v they_o to_o give_v all_o other_o nation_n their_o just_a due_n in_o every_o respect_n but_o likewise_o to_o be_v friendly_a helpful_a and_o assistant_n to_o they_o and_z as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v serve_v one_o without_o disserve_v the_o other_o to_o be_v kind_a and_o useful_a to_o they_o all_o and_o then_o sure_o where_o no_o cause_n of_o war_n be_v give_v we_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o war_n where_o the_o seed_n of_o peace_n be_v sow_o we_o must_v natural_o hope_v to_o reap_v the_o fruit._n but_o if_o through_o the_o unreasonableness_n and_o injustice_n of_o other_o nation_n it_o shall_v sometime_o so_o happen_v as_o we_o have_v often_o see_v it_o have_v that_o a_o religious_a nation_n right_a or_o wrong_n must_v be_v force_v to_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o to_o engage_v in_o war_n let_v those_o people_n who_o have_v unjust_o provoke_v it_o know_v that_o they_o have_v rouse_v a_o very_a dangerous_a and_o formidable_a enemy_n as_o will_v appear_v from_o

the_o contrary_a of_o man_n who_o religion_n have_v preserve_v in_o their_o firm_a health_n strength_n and_o vigour_n who_o it_o have_v inure_v to_o labour_n and_o business_n and_o accustom_a to_o
