and_o for_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n the_o matter_n be_v so_o notorious_a as_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o enlarge_v myself_o upon_o this_o subject_n and_o beside_o it_o have_v be_v former_o touch_v if_o then_o it_o be_v lawful_a by_o story_n out_o of_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n for_o catholic_a prince_n to_o defend_v and_o succour_v the_o very_a infidel_n themselves_o much_o more_o those_o that_o be_v christian_n although_o not_o obedient_a to_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n and_o when_o they_o do_v real_o aid_v they_o with_o money_n man_n and_o munition_n yet_o do_v not_o this_o derogate_v a_o jot_n from_o their_o devotion_n or_o profession_n of_o the_o catholic_a roman_a religion_n why_o may_v it_o not_o likewise_o be_v lawful_a for_o private_a man_n to_o defend_v and_o aid_v that_o sort_n of_o people_n with_o their_o person_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o only_o no_o sin_n but_o also_o a_o work_n pious_a and_o praiseworthy_a but_o if_o those_o soldier_n be_v the_o natural_a subject_n of_o a_o catholic_a prince_n confederated_a with_o they_o and_o that_o for_o common_a defence_n and_o interest_n of_o good_a government_n he_o yield_v assistance_n unto_o those_o protestant_a prince_n and_o be_v thereunto_o tie_v by_o covenant_n of_o alliance_n the_o matter_n be_v so_o much_o the_o clear_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o connexion_n of_o a_o subject_n to_o his_o prince_n for_o subject_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o divine_a law_n to_o help_v on_o the_o interest_n of_o their_o sovereign_n neither_o do_v they_o commit_v any_o sin_n by_o cooperate_n and_o conform_v themselves_o unto_o they_o and_o hereupon_o the_o confessor_n have_v do_v great_a wrong_n to_o deny_v those_o gentleman_n their_o absolution_n but_o much_o great_a injury_n have_v he_o in_o this_o case_n do_v the_o prince_n himself_o and_o he_o well_o deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v because_o indirect_o it_o must_v tend_v to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o league_n already_o make_v and_o of_o the_o succour_n which_o shall_v hereafter_o be_v yield_v unto_o they_o the_o which_o action_n beside_o that_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v injurious_a and_o unjust_a in_o make_v that_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v none_o become_v yet_o the_o worse_a because_o it_o be_v deduce_v and_o wrought_v into_o confession_n and_o sure_o the_o rule_n of_o good_a policy_n require_v that_o a_o temeritie_n and_o petulancy_n of_o that_o excess_n shall_v be_v ressent_v that_o a_o religious_a person_n mind_n shall_v serve_v he_o to_o condemn_v the_o determination_n of_o his_o prince_n which_o have_v be_v make_v according_a to_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o wisdom_n and_o for_o reason_n of_o good_a government_n of_o which_o a_o private_a man_n can_v be_v capable_a much_o less_o become_v a_o judge_n or_o censurer_n but_o if_o absolution_n can_v not_o be_v deny_v by_o reason_n of_o habitation_n or_o because_o they_o serve_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o hollander_n it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v deny_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o injustice_n of_o that_o war_n especial_o see_v these_o gentleman_n be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o prince_n that_o make_v the_o war_n and_o so_o be_v no_o way_n hereunto_o command_v but_o undertake_v it_o voluntary_o and_o therefore_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o last_o point_n which_o i_o will_v dispatch_v very_o brief_o because_o all_o the_o doctor_n do_v agree_v that_o the_o war_n whereby_o the_o state_n that_o be_v possess_v be_v preserve_v and_o therefore_o a_o war_n defensive_a can_v hardly_o entertain_v a_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v not_o just_a and_o among_o the_o cause_n which_o the_o skilful_a in_o both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o summist_n also_o allege_v to_o make_v the_o war_n just_a the_o necessity_n of_o defence_n do_v ever_o rank_n itself_o in_o the_o first_o place_n so_o that_o without_o tedious_a allegation_n it_o will_v suffice_v to_o conclude_v this_o business_n with_o the_o word_n of_o covarruvias_n that_o among_o other_o reason_n which_o be_v hold_v most_o just_a whereupon_o to_o ground_v a_o war_n that_o be_v above_o they_o all_o the_o best_a approve_a and_o unto_o which_o all_o cause_n else_o which_o be_v allege_v may_v be_v refer_v or_o reduce_v which_o be_v undertake_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o defence_n of_o one_o own_o dominion_n or_o country_n thereunto_o appertain_v for_o so_o it_o tend_v likewise_o to_o the_o defence_n of_o a_o man_n own_o life_n and_o good_n this_o cause_n then_o of_o defence_n do_v exceed_o justify_v the_o war_n because_o it_o be_v favour_v and_o authorise_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o a_o private_a man_n may_v assist_v in_o a_o defensive_a war_n and_o that_o the_o war_n which_o the_o hollander_n make_v be_v of_o this_o nature_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o defensive_a it_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o fact_n because_o they_o be_v those_o that_o be_v invade_v by_o the_o army_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o ever_o stand_v on_o their_o guard_n and_o upon_o the_o defensive_a and_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o question_n that_o a_o defensive_a war_n be_v ever_o just_a except_o there_o be_v such_o circumstance_n to_o render_v it_o unjust_a as_o can_v hardly_o sink_v into_o a_o man_n imagination_n that_o it_o be_v a_o undeniable_a doctrine_n among_o the_o lawyer_n that_o although_o the_o party_n assail_v have_v deserve_v by_o his_o own_o fault_n or_o offence_n to_o have_v war_n make_v upon_o he_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o he_o to_o defend_v himself_o and_o if_o in_o his_o own_o defence_n he_o must_v take_v arm_n and_o fall_v to_o blow_n yet_o shall_v it_o be_v just_a in_o he_o so_o to_o do_v not_o only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o teacheh_a man_n to_o repel_v force_n with_o force_n but_o also_o because_o the_o omission_n of_o a_o man_n necessary_a defence_n cause_v he_o to_o commit_v his_o own_o life_n state_n and_o honour_n to_o the_o discretion_n of_o other_o and_o many_o time_n of_o soldier_n of_o who_o excess_n and_o usual_a deportment_n against_o man_n life_n honour_n and_o good_n be_v no_o less_o licentious_a in_o

will_v the_o defence_n be_v just_a for_o the_o civilian_n say_v that_o the_o assailant_n will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o such_o restitution_n as_o be_v just_a neither_o can_v he_o contain_v the_o fury_n of_o his_o soldier_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o pass_v the_o measure_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o say_n of_o livy_n be_v receive_v as_o a_o oracle_n that_o to_o he_o the_o war_n be_v ever_o just_a unto_o who_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o it_o be_v pious_a and_o religious_a for_o they_o to_o take_v arm_n who_o have_v no_o hope_n but_o in_o arm_n the_o which_o ever_o fall_v out_o in_o defensive_a war_n and_o if_o any_o shall_v from_o hence_o make_v deduction_n that_o then_o the_o war_n may_v be_v just_a on_o both_o side_n which_o be_v deny_v by_o the_o writer_n of_o case_n of_o

that_o in_o some_o case_n the_o war_n may_v be_v just_a on_o both_o part_n on_o the_o one_o out_o of_o truth_n on_o the_o other_o juris_n praesumptione_n for_o war_n between_o those_o that_o know_v no_o superior_a be_v like_o a_o suit_n in_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o both_o the_o litigant_fw-la party_n shall_v have_v reason_n on_o their_o side_n and_o yet_o both_o of_o they_o may_v have_v a_o just_a cause_n to_o sue_v because_o it_o appear_v not_o on_o which_o side_n reason_n stand_v until_o the_o judge_n by_o his_o sentence_n shall_v decide_v it_o and_o yet_o in_o this_o case_n no_o man_n will_v ever_o make_v doubt_n that_o the_o defendant_n ought_v not_o to_o repair_v to_o the_o court_n whereunto_o he_o be_v draw_v but_o all_o the_o doubt_n will_v rest_v on_o the_o plaintiff_n side_n so_o in_o a_o war_n between_o sovereign_a prince_n as_o in_o a_o suit_n although_o both_o party_n can_v have_v equal_a justice_n in_o the_o cause_n yet_o may_v they_o both_o
