a refuge by their wisedome experience vnto theÌ„ in their troubles neades Thus seeing that inuasion in sumÌ„ cases is tollerable yelding sufficieÌ„t matter for noble courages to worke vpoÌ„ so that prowesse shal neuer be so shut vp but it may haue a coÌ„mendable course if theare be a regarde to the feare of God for the vertuous direction good ende theareof the warres for defeÌ„ce must neades more generallie be allowed whensoeuer wronge is offered by the enemie of anie estate to the losse vexation or empayringe of the same wheareby in bodies goodes mindes possessions fraunchises lawes iurisdictions credit honour or anye thinge that is of profit or contentation vnto theÌ„ they be anoyed or hurte the resistinge encountring wheare of is iust honourable necessarye The auÌ„cient warres of Troye Thebes arose vpon great wronges offered the first of them in the time that K. Dauid raygned the other not longe after The Grekes maintained continuall warres for their libertie to preserue their publique states vnder elected gouernours especially to auoyde subiection to anie foreine nation which they esteamed barbarous and rascall in respect of them selues The Scythiens hauinge no riche or delycate possessions of pleasant or frutefull fieldes no substaunce or store of goodes to loose yet they fought fiercelie to defende the tombes of their auÌ„cestours whereof they had their greatest care froÌ„ iniuries of the enemie defacing And generallie nature hath geueÌ„ to liuinge thinges a desire of defeÌ„ce resistinge of wronges wherefore that force is better to be allowed of theÌ„ inuasion Iudas Machabeus saide to the Israelites let vs fight for our liues our lawes And thus to cut of our course in to the antiquitie of warres seing that it is not my purpose nowe to wryte thereof yet supposinge thus muche not to be impertinent vnto hym that woulde bee a trauayler in the knoweledge and affaires of warres we conclude by plentiful proofe out of the store of histories accordinge to our propositioÌ„ That warres iustlie made for the more parte growe to good effecte

to remedie their wronges Also where it is coÌ„mauÌ„ded that he which is strykeÌ„ on the one eare should turne the other toreceaue the like it is expouÌ„ded whereas the exaÌ„ple of such singuler pacience maye greatlie auaile to make such insoleÌ„t oultrage the more odious detestable that there is a law to punish the same otherwise warres armes maye be vsed for maintenance defence of vertue ryght great good grow therof For in the x of the Actes of the Apostles we reade that the coÌ„uersation order of life of the captaine Cornelius was verie well pleasinge acceptable vnto God and in the tenth of saint Mathaew our sauiour saieth I came not to seÌ„d peace into the earth but a swerde which proueth that the same maye be vsed according to the good pleasure of God thus if we serch his will we shall finde it and knowe howe to obserue keepe it Â¶ Of vyctories which is the best and what truce maye be honourablye made Cap. ix THat victorie is most to be preferred which maye be soonest

schoolemaster which had the chiefest mens sonnes of the towne in gouenrmeÌ„t teaching trayned them forth on a time apte for his purpose for hope of rewarde brought them into the enemies handes to the ende that thereby their fathers frendes shoulde be fayne to render the towne But Fabius rewarding him not iumpe accordinge to his expectation but duelie for hys desertes he caused the boyes to scurge their schole mayster well with roddes for betrayinge the trust of their parentes and so sent them home together singinge vnto the citizens which hauinge his noble vertue in highe admiration forthwith rendred vnto him the towne Dauid sought not by murder to wrest the kingdome out of the haÌ„des of Saul but punished him which had laide haÌ„des vpon his Lorde anoynted elected of god Caesar procured
