a_o thief_n imposter_n sorcerer_n heretic_n more_o flagitious_a to_o assault_n god_n than_o any_o man_n and_o final_o by_o how_o much_o perfidiousness_n in_o a_o equal_a fact_n exceed_v ignorance_n but_o whether_o shall_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o determine_v the_o same_o of_o those_o who_o give_v no_o assistance_n to_o those_o who_o be_v oppress_v with_o tyranny_n or_o defend_v the_o republic_n against_o tyranny_n since_o a_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v of_o so_o straight_o a_o alliance_n of_o so_o strict_a a_o covenant_n when_o as_o i_o say_v we_o do_v not_o here_o discourse_n of_o the_o

we_o ought_v to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o therefore_o a_o jew_n if_o he_o will_v discharge_v his_o duty_n be_v bind_v to_o deliver_v from_o a_o thief_n if_o he_o be_v able_a not_o a_o jew_n only_o but_o likewise_o every_o stranger_n yea_o likewise_o one_o unknown_a neither_o will_v any_o one_o dispute_n whether_o it_o be_v just_a to_o defend_v himself_o see_v very_o it_o be_v more_o just_a to_o defend_v another_o than_o himself_o in_o this_o respect_n wherein_o thing_n be_v more_o just_a which_o mere_a charity_n do_v than_o those_o which_o either_o anger_n or_o revenge_n or_o other_o perturbation_n of_o the_o mind_n do_v and_o no_o man_n hold_v a_o mean_a in_o revenge_v his_o own_o injury_n but_o in_o other_o man_n although_o more_o grievous_a offic._n even_o the_o most_o immoderate_a may_v hold_v a_o mean_a but_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o what_o humane_a society_n and_o what_o the_o common_a nature_n of_o all_o man_n require_v of_o we_o in_o this_o thing_n for_o cicero_n say_v there_o be_v one_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n that_o even_o nature_n itself_o prescribe_v this_o that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o take_v care_n of_o a_o man_n who_o ever_o he_o be_v even_o for_o this_o very_a cause_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n if_o otherwise_o all_o humane_a consociation_n must_v necessary_o be_v dissolve_v therefore_o as_o there_o be_v

of_o injustice_n one_o of_o those_o who_o offer_v injury_n the_o other_o of_o those_o who_o propulse_v not_o wrong_n from_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v if_o they_o be_v able_a for_o he_o who_o do_v unjust_o against_o any_o one_o incite_v either_o by_o anger_n or_o other_o perturbation_n he_o seem_v as_o it_o be_v to_o offer_v violent_a hand_n to_o his_o companion_n but_o he_o who_o
