1. 1The lawfulness of truces and Covenants. M. P. p. 56

Truces and Covenants in this kind, if there be no unlawful conditions, that is, such as are unwarrantable by the word of God joined to them, are lawful, and may be made not only with Christians, but also to maintain peace with infidels. For, that which is Godly to be performed, is likewise godly to be promised; And it is a note of true godliness, to be as much as may be at peace with all men, Rom 12. 18.
