That's a sad War when the Conqueror hath cause to be sad at the very Conquest. 1It were no great matter though if other people had gotten the victory they should triumph, why not? though you have gotten the day, yet these Wars are Wars that you should not triumph in, for by this means the Nation of the Jews is grown weaker and is in more danger to be made a prey to the common enemies, and therefore do not you rejoice as other people might rejoice in such a Conquest.2 And Indeed such are our Wars and Victories at this day, we must not rejoice in our Conquests as other people, not so rejoice as if French or Spaniards came among us, or as if we were in a foreign Nation, for our Conquests weakens our own Nation, it is the destruction of our Brethren, and therefore in this we are not to rejoice as other people in their conquests.
