The Nature of it; What, warre.
War is that miserable desolation, that finds a land before it like Eden; and leaves it behind it like Sodom and Gomorrah, a desolate and forsaken wilderness. ⟨p. 8⟩Let it be sowed with the seed of man and beast, as a field with wheat; war will eat it up. Bellum, quasi minime bellum: or rather in vicinity to the name, mos belluarum. For men, Solummodo justum, quibus necessarium: not just, but when it is necessary, and cannot well be avoided. Not to be waged by a Christian without observation of Saint Augustine's rule. Esto bellando pacificus. In war seek peace: though thy hand be bloody, let thy heart be peaceable. Pacem debet habere voluntas, bellum necessitas. Let necessity put war into the hands: religion keep peace in the heart. In it self it is a miserable punishment. This is the Nature; What.
