Peace is the main end of just and lawful war. All the benefits *before noted to arise from war, are enjoyed in peace; and are therefore attributed to war, as effects thereof, because by war peace is procured, and secured. No marvel then that Christians are so much called upon, aIf it be possible, and as much as in them lieth, to have peace with all men. And that bthe peacemakers are pronounced blessed. And cjoy is to the counsellors of peace. And it is an usual blessing to say, dPeace be to you. Yea eGod would have peace proclaimed to enemies before they were invaded by war.
