limit_v lest_o while_o we_o remember_v we_o be_v christian_n we_o forget_v that_o other_o be_v man_n but_o there_o be_v a_o point_n that_o precede_v all_o these_o point_n recite_v nay_o and_o in_o a_o

charge_n do_v put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o it_o and_o the_o more_o i_o think_v upon_o it_o the_o more_o i_o settle_v in_o opinion_n that_o a_o war_n to_o suppress_v that_o empire_n though_o we_o set_v

for_o a_o treatise_n from_o i_o but_o a_o speech_n of_o consultation_n and_o in_o that_o brevity_n and_o manner_n will_v i_o speak_v first_o i_o shall_v agree_v that_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o a_o war_n aught_o to_o be_v just_o so_o the_o justice_n of_o that_o cause_n ought_v to_o be_v evident_a not_o obscure_a not_o scrupulous_a for_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o law_n in_o capital_a cause_n the_o evidence_n must_v be_v full_a and_o clear_a and_o if_o so_o where_o one_o man_n life_n be_v in_o question_n what_o say_v we_o to_o a_o war_n which_o be_v ever_o the_o sentence_n of_o

a_o unjust_a war_n the_o justice_n of_o every_o action_n consist_v in_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n the_o warrant_n of_o the_o jurisdiction_n and_o the_o form_n of_o the_o prosecution_n as_o for_o the_o inward_a intention_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n of_o these_o thing_n several_o as_o they_o may_v have_v relation_n to_o the_o present_a subject_n of_o a_o war_n against_o infidel_n and_o namely_o against_o the_o most_o potent_a and_o most_o dangerous_a enemy_n of_o the_o faith_n the_o turk_n i_o hold_v and_o i_o doubt_v nor_o but_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o plain_a as_o far_o as_o a_o sum_n or_o brief_a can_v make_v a_o cause_n plain_a that_o a_o war_n against_o the_o turk_n be_v lawful_a both_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n and_o by_o the_o law_n divine_a which_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o other_o two_o as_o for_o the_o law_n positive_a and_o civil_a of_o the_o roman_n or_o other_o whatsoever_o they_o be_v too_o small_a engine_n to_o move_v the_o weight_n of_o this_o question_n and_o therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n many_o of_o the_o late_a schoolman_n though_o excellent_a man_n take_v not_o the_o right_a way_n in_o dispute_v this_o question_n except_o they_o have_v the_o gift_n of_o navius_n that_o they_o can_v cotem_fw-la novaculâ_fw-la scindere_fw-la hew_v stone_n with_o pen-knive_n first_o for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o philosopher_n aristotle_n be_v no_o ill_a interpreter_n thereof_o he_o have_v set_v many_o man_n on_o work_n with_o a_o witty_a speech_n of_o naturâ_fw-la dominus_fw-la and_o

take_v in_o diverse_a sense_n some_o have_v take_v it_o for_o a_o speech_n of_o ostentation_n to_o entitle_v the_o grecian_n to_o a_o empire_n over_o the_o barbarian_n which_o indeed_o be_v better_o

any_o wise_a to_o create_v a_o right_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o take_v it_o neither_o for_o a_o bragge_n nor_o for_o a_o wish_n but_o for_o a_o truth_n as_o he_o limit_v it_o for_o he_o say_v that_o if_o there_o can_v be_v find_v such_o a_o inequality_n between_o man_n and_o man_n as_o there_o be_v between_o man_n and_o beast_n or_o between_o soul_n and_o body_n it_o invest_v a_o right_a of_o government_n which_o seem_v rather_o a_o impossible_a case_n than_o a_o untrue_a sentence_n but_o i_o hold_v both_o the_o judgement_n true_a and_o the_o case_n possible_a and_o such_o as_o have_v

to_o say_v that_o the_o more_o capable_a or_o the_o better_a deserver_n have_v such_o right_a to_o govern_v as_o he_o may_v compulsory_o bring_v under_o the_o less_o worthy_a be_v idle_a man_n will_v never_o agree_v upon_o it_o who_o be_v the_o more_o worthy_a for_o it_o be_v not_o only_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o he_o to_o govern_v that_o be_v the_o more_o intelligent_a as_o aristotle_n will_v have_v it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o less_o require_v for_o government_n courage_n to_o protect_v and_o above_o all_o honesty_n and_o probity_n of_o the_o will_n to_o abstain_v from_o injury_n so_o fitness_n to_o govern_v be_v a_o perplex_a business_n some_o man_n some_o nation_n excel_v in_o the_o one_o ability_n some_o in_o the_o other_o therefore_o the_o position_n which_o i_o intend_v be_v not_o in_o the_o comparative_a that_o the_o wise_a or_o the_o stout_a or_o the_o just_a nation_n shall_v govern_v but_o in_o the_o privative_a that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o heap_n of_o people_n though_o we_o term_v it_o a_o kingdom_n or_o state_n that_o be_v altogether_o unable_a or_o indign_a to_o govern_v there_o it_o be_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o war_n for_o another_o nation_n that_o be_v
