Authority is given for this end, to observe what may be best for the state wherein they have their authority; and answerably to order matters. In ordering whereof, there being many cases wherein the very life of some particular persons is to be put in hazard for preservation of the whole state, God hath given this power to supreme Magistrates to appoint whom they see best, according to that which Moses said to Joshua, Choose us out men. If men chosen might refuse to go, to what purpose are they chosen? Soldiers owe 1to common peace and safety, the service of executing their Governors commands of waging war.
