But because God complaineth for that the league was broken, which he had made with them, I think it good somewhat to speak briefly of a league which is in Latin called Faedus. And that word is derived of the verb Ferio, which is to stay because that the ambassadors of each party killed a hog: from which Etymology peradventure the Hebrew word Berith, differeth not much, with which outward sign also they wished by prayer the destruction to that part which should violate the league, as we may gather out of Livy the first book Ab urbe condita. 1And as the same author writteth in his iiii. book de bello Macedonico, there are three kinds of leagues. The first kind is, when §1the conquerors set laws to those whom they have conquered, in punishing them and commanding them, what they will have them afterward to do. §2The second kind is when things being yet sound and neither part overcome, they commune together, that things taken from each party may be restored and covenants of peace may be established. The third kind is when there is no §3war between the parties and certain princes or cities are joined together by some covenants either to live the more peaceably, or else to take in hand some common affairs. And now that we have thus declared these things let us show what a league is.
BVt bycause God complayneth for that the league was broken, whiche he had made with them, I thincke it good somewhat to speake briefly of a league whiche is in Latine called Faedus. And that worde is deriued of the verbe Ferio, whiche is to staye bycause that the ambassadours of eche partie kylled a hogge: from whiche Etimologye peraduenture the Hebrue worde Berith, differeth not much, with whiche outwarde signe also they wished by prayer the destruction to that parte whiche should violate the league, as we may gather out of Lyui the first booke Ab vrbe condita. 1And as the same authour writteth in his iiii. booke de bello Macedonico, there are thre kyndes of leagues. The first kynde is, when §1the conquerours set lawes to those whom they haue conquered, in punishyng them and commaundyng them, what they will haue them afterwarde to do.
