for_o a_o just_a war_n do_v only_o put_v the_o conqueror_n in_o possession_n of_o his_o old_a right_n but_o not_o create_v a_o new_a the_o like_o which_o grotius_n say_v of_o succession_n may_v be_v

by_o a_o usurper_n here_o though_o the_o re-conquest_n be_v a_o most_o just_a war_n yet_o shall_v not_o the_o conqueror_n in_o this_o case_n gain_v any_o full_a right_n of_o propriety_n but_o must_v

right_o as_o grotius_n conceive_v wherefore_o it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o just_a war_n whereby_o a_o full_a right_n of_o propriety_n may_v be_v gain_v according_a to_o

no_o governor_n than_o they_o be_v a_o free_a people_n and_o so_o the_o war_n will_v be_v unjust_a to_o conquer_v those_o that_o be_v free_a especial_o if_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o people_n be_v by_o the_o primary_n law_n of_o nature_n as_o grotius_n teach_v but_o if_o the_o people_n conquer_v have_v a_o governor_n that_o governor_n have_v either_o a_o title_n or_o not_o if_o he_o have_v a_o
