You hear the Object, they hunt; attend the Manner. And this you shall find, as Esau's, to consist in two things: Force, and Fraud. They are not only Hunters, but cunning Hunters.

1. For their Force, they are Robusti latrones, and have a violent impetuous, imperious Hunting.1 Desolation and destruction are in their Paths. We may say of them, as Tertullian said of the Montanists. Nontam Laborant ut aedificarent sua, quam ut destruerent aliena. They seek not so much their own increasing as the depopulation of others. Philosophers hold the world to be composed of three concurrent principles, Matter, Form, and Privation: holding the last, to be rather a principle of Transmutation, then of Establishment. Oppressors besides the ⟨p. 73⟩Matter, which is the Common-wealth; and the Form which is Justice; have devised to make necessary also Privation.
1. For their Force, they are Robusti latrones, and haue a violent impetuous, imperious Hunting.1 Desolation and destruction are in their Pathes. We may say of them, as Tertullian sayd of the Montanists. Nontam Laborant vt aedificarent sua, quam vt destruerent aliena. They seeke not somuch their owne encreasing as the depopulation of others.

Oppressours besides the ⟨p. 73⟩Matter, which is the Common-wealth; and the Forme which is Iustice; haue deuised to make necessarie also Priuation.
