city_n which_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v give_v you_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o to_o fight_v for_o son_n daughter_n wife_n and_o house_n i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o persuade_v any_o

ofnature_n bind_v we_o to_o defend_v they_o in_o their_o well_o do_n moses_n in_o his_o law_n say_v that_o if_o thou_o traveyl_v by_o the_o way_n do_v sinde_v thy_o enemy_n ass_n fall_v in_o the_o

like_a law_n thou_o shall_v not_o mussle_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o ox_n that_o tread_v out_o the_o corn_n say_v have_v god_n care_n for_o the_o ox_n nay_o very_o but_o for_o you_o it_o be_v write_v 9_o that_o you_o shall_v feed_v your_o painful_a teacher_n which_o labour_v for_o you_o as_o the_o ox_n so_o i_o say_v this_o law_n be_v not_o make_v for_o the_o ass_n his_o sake_n but_o even_o for_o thy_o enemy_n who_o be_v overloden_v as_o the_o ass_n be_v and_o special_o those_o to_o who_o thou_o be_v bind_v by_o nature_n for_o else_o thou_o be_v worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n but_o in_o this_o

we_o see_v great_a trouble_n in_o many_o country_n against_o their_o prince_n in_o our_o day_n for_o religion_n and_o many_o doubt_n what_o they_o may_v do_v herein_o let_v the_o case_n stand_v as_o these_o man_n do_v &_o it_o be_v soon_o answer_v these_o samaritan_o sanballat_n and_o his_o fellow_n be_v no_o prince_n but_o subject_a to_o artaxerxes_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v nor_o have_v any_o

they_o licence_n and_o commission_n to_o do_v therefore_o they_o may_v justly_o defend_v themselves_o against_o such_o thief_n further_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v also_o that_o they_o defend_v themselves_o only_o &_o do_v not_o invade_v the_o other_o offer_v any_o violence_n to_o they_o but_o will_v quiet_o enjoy_v their_o own_o if_o they_o may_v and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o war_n whether_o a_o man_n stand_v to_o defence_n of_o himself_o &_o his_o people_n in_o any_o cause_n or_o do_v invade_v other_o and_o offer_v they_o wrong_n defend_v a_o man_n self_n be_v allow_v by_o all_o law_n in_o many_o cause_n and_o yet_o in_o religion_n by_o fly_v and_o not_o by_o draw_v the_o sword_n against_o his_o prince_n but_o to_o rebel_v and_o draw_v the_o sword_n against_o thy_o lawful_a prince_n for_o religion_n i_o have_v not_o yet_o learned_a nor_o can_v allow_v off_o it_o nor_o i_o can_v see_v how_o so_o many_o martyr_n in_o all_o age_n will_v have_v

but_o christ_n jesus_n bid_v he_o put_v up_o his_o sword_n for_o if_o the_o matter_n stand_v by_o fight_v he_o can_v ask_v his_o heavenly_a father_n and_o he_o will_v give_v many_o thousand_o of_o
