up thy Eyes Dixitque Dominus ad Abram le●a oculos tuos vide à loco in quo nunc es ad aquil●nem m●ridiem ad orientem occidentem Gen. 13. v. 24. Omnem terram quam ●●spicis tibi dabo semini tuo usque in semp ternum faciamque s●men tuum sicut pulverem terrae Gen. 13. v. 25. and turn thy self on all sides from East to West from North to South These immense spaces which thou beholdest shall be under thy Empire and afterwards at the end of thy life thou shalt leave them for an inheritance unto thy posterity which shal be numerous which shall equall the sands of the Earth Rise then Abraham and begin again thy journies and wayes over the whole extent of the Earth for this is the reward I intend to give thee Well then Surge ergo perambula terram in longitudine sua quia tibi datu●us sum eam Gen. 13. v. 17. Is not this a most powerfull motive to Love Peace and to bestow all that one hath to acquire a Good which draws with it all sorts of blessings and felicities For my part I believe that Gregorie the XIII had learnt by example the happy advantages of this verity for having Commanded a Picture of Peace and Justice to be drawn he caus'd a Vessell full of Flowers Fruits to be added Typot lib. 1. Symb. Justitia pacem copiam pax attulit with this Motto Justice hath given us Peace and Peace hath bestowed on us Goods in abundance Abraham might have justly taken the same Armes and the like Inscription I represent also to my self that such as seek Peace and Tranquillity may all say and doe like Abraham Let us conclude that we must often give way unto their Interests to become Masters of Hearts Goods and Possessions that it is a most sweet and profitable art to lose a little for the gaining of Peace which is wont to bring with it all that can be desired CHAP. IV. The Victories of Abraham and the assurances God gave him of a most flourishing Posterity THe desires A Warlike Tranquillity and inclinations which we may have for Tranquillity ought not to destroy force of Courage which as a Philosopher heretofore said are the Arms of the Soul and as it were the Wings of the Body There are nevertheless faint-hearted Men and Effeminate Spirits to whom the name of Peace is not venerable by reason the bare noise of the justest combats useth to put them into a Feaver They are like that Coward of Athens who dy'd hearing a Trumpet which was sounded at the beginning of an assault or rather that heartless Sybarite who seeing a Dart but in Picture made a vow never to use a Sword or Dagger never to come into the Field were it but to mow Grass This is not to have a pacifique Spirit A shamefull Pusillanimity and inclinations unto Meekness and Peace but rather to bear under a humane Body the Soul of a tender Chick or at least such people resemble those Indians who tremble at the sight of their own shadows and from whom if one should take away their Hands when they are obliged to Eat or Drink one would judge them to be Statues and feather'd specters which tremble at the least breath of Air. There is then an other Spirit of Peace which delights in Tranquillity and knows not what it is to seek occasions of War and pretences of dissention But where once Right Piety Alliances or violated Justice put Arms into their Hands at the same instant this vapor which was hidden in the Clouds and framed Veils against the violences of the Sun begins to convert it self into a Mass of flaming Coals which set fire on the Heavens and puts the Earth into a dreadfull fright Behold here the Image of a generous courage of a pacifique Soul and of a most valorons Heart every where it setleth Peace every where it accordeth differences and never refuseth any Treaty of Union But where it is provok'd and that there is need of preserving its own Rights or revenging the injury done unto Allies you instantly see it in the Head of an Army It orders Troups It is in the fight at the charge at the spoyl at the chase and in action briefly it is all Heart and its Body seems to be chang'd into Arms and Hands to defend its Life its Right and Honor. But who would have believed that Abrahams humour and courage had been of this temper when he was only seen to take Lot by the Hand and say unto him that all his goods belonged unto him and that to avoid War he gave the World for a Field of Peace and for an assured testimony that he prefer'd a quiet Life before all pretensions whatsoever Nevertheless when News was brought him Talerunt amnem sulistantiam Sodomorum Gomorrhae c. Gen. 14 v. 11. Nec non Lot substantiam ejus c. Gen. 14. v. 12. Et ecce unus qui evaserat nuntiavit Abram Hebraeo c. Gen. 14. v. 13.

Gen. 14. v. 19 Et dedit ei d●cimas exomnibus Gen 14. v. 20. 〈◊〉 essus est Rex So●omerum in occursum ejus Gen. 14. v. 17. that the King of Sennay the King of the Elamites the King of Pontus and he that was commonly called the King of Nations were become Masters of the Field and of the Sodomites Country who were his confederates and that even after the taking of Sodom poor Lot who fell into their Hands was lead by their Command into a sad Captivity At the very same instant this peaceable Traveller instead of a Staff took Arms into his Hands and having selected three hundred and eighteen of his bravest Servants he went forraging the Country and so couragiously pursued his Enemies that afterward being come to the confines of Judea neer the Fountains of Jordan and finding them still wholy puffed up with the success of their victories and loaden with their booty he set upon them with so great courage and dexterity as at last he put them to a shamefull rout and gave them so generall a defeat that he brought back both Lot and all his Goods with the remainder of the spoyls of all the Assyrians who were all either dead or put to flight After this defeat Melchisedeck who was King of Salem and also high Priest of the most high offered Bread and Wine as a thanksgiving for the victories
