The example also of Camillus is worthy to be noted,1 who commanded the schoolmaster of the children of the Phaliscians to be with stripes brought home of his disciples into his country, because he would have betrayed them.2 The Physician likewise of Pyrrhus, which promised unto the Romans that for their sakes he would kill his king, was by them detected unto the king, that he might the diligentlier beware of him. Whereby peace followed between Pyrrhus and the Romans. Isaiah in the xvi. chap: doth therefore vehemently rebuke the Moabites, because they had so cruelly entreated the Israelites when they were oppressed of their enemies, and admonisheth them, not to betray the Jews flying unto them in their time for succour. And Paul writeth in the latter Epistle to Timothy, that in the latter times there should be men corrupted with most grievous and mischievous deeds, among which he reckoneth traitors also. Besides this the citizens are sworn unto the Magistrates, to defend the city or public wealth when need shall require. And though they were not sworn,3 yet the natural and common law requireth the same of them: which thing the members of all living things do testify, which do willingly and most readily endanger them selves for the body, and for the nobler parts thereof, I mean the head or heart. Which self thing the citizens are by the laws of nature bound to do for their country, if it be in danger. Wherefore if they should betray it, they can not be excused, but that they sin most grievously.

Wherby peace followed betwene Pirrhus and the Romanes. Esay in the xvi. chap: doth therfore vehemently rebuke the Moabites, bycause they had so cruelly intreated the Israelites when they were oppressed of their enemyes, and admonisheth them, not to betray the Iewes flyeng vnto thē in their tyme for succor. And Paul writeth in the latter Epistle to Tymothe, that in the latter tymes there should be men corrupted with most grieuous and mischieuous dedes, among whiche he reckeneth traytors also. Bisides this the citizens are sworne vnto the Magistrates, to defend the citie or publicque wealth whē nede shall require. And thoughe they were not sworne,
