To inherit this blessing, it is not 1only required that thou have peace in thy self, and that thou take all to the best, and be not offended lightly and for every small trifle, and alway ready to forgive▪ nor sow no discord, nor avenge thine own wrong: But also that thou be fervent & diligent to make peace and to go between, where thou knowest or hearest malice and envy to be, or seest bate or strife to arise between person and person, and that thou leave nothing unsought, to set them at one.

- 1Peacemaking, what.
And though Christ here speak not of the temporal sword, but teacheth how every man shall live for him self toward his neighbour: yet Princes (if 1they will be Gods children) must not only give no cause of war, nor begin any, but also (though he have a just cause) suffer him self to be entreated, if he that gave the cause repent, and must also seek all ways of peace before he fight. Howbeit, when all is sought, and nothing will help, then he ought and is bound to defend his land & subjects, & in so doing he is a peacemaker, as well as when he causeth thieves & murderers to be punished for their evil doing and breaking of the common peace of his land and subjects.
