War is taken in hand only to amend things amiss. Yea, and the Apostles afflicted certain, that they might become the better. Paul said unto the Corinthians, deliver such a one to Satan to the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved. And to Timothy he saith of Hymeneus & Alexander, I have delivered them to Satan, to learn not to curse. So ought they also to restrain Princes, that they may be made better. Augustine also in his .xix.1 book De civitate dei, sayth, that wars though they be never so just, yet unto godly men, they seem both troublesome and grievous: for besides other things which the nature of man escheweth, they shall see the iniquity of their adversaries side, for which they are compelled to fight: and they cannot but be sorry for it. And in the Epistle before alleged: Rage not, saith he, nor wax not insolent against those that submit them selves, but show mercy to those that are overcome. Wherefore Virgil saith: Spare them that submit them selves,2 and destroy the proud.

Paul sayd vnto the Corrinthians, deliuer suche a one to Sathan to the destruction of the fleshe, that the spirite may be saued. And to Timothe he sayth of Hymeneus & Alexander, I haue delyuered them to Sathan, to learne not to cursse. So oughte they also to restrayne Princes, that they maye bee made better. Augustine also in his .xix.1 booke De ciuitate dei, sayth, that warres though they bee neuer so iust, yet vnto godly men, they seeme both troublesome and grieuous: for besydes other things which the nature of man escheweth, they shall see the iniquity of their aduersaries syde, for which they are compelled to fyght: and they cannot but be sorye for it. And in the Epistle before alledged: Rage not, saythe hee, nor waxe not insolent agaynst those that submyt them selues, but shewe mercye to those that are ouercome. Wherefore Virgil sayth: Spare them that submit them selues,2 and destroye the proude.
