Whither it be lawful for the godly to have peace with the ungodly.
Whither it be lawful for the godly to haue peace wyth the vngodly.
This question is now to be discussed and defined, whether it be lawful for godly men to make peace & to keep it with ungodly. And me thinketh we may say ⟨image 106⟩that it is lawful, especially if it be concluded for the peaceable defending & keeping of the bonds or borders on ether side. Paul saith, as much as lieth in you, have peace with all men. So did the most Christian princes with the barbarous infidels, in making peace sometimes with them. So Jacob in the old time made a league with Laban. So also did the children of Israel, with their other neighbours, excepting the seven nations, for God commanded them not to make war with all those nations that dwelled about them.

But if thou shalt demand, whether it be lawful for the godly when they take a common expedition in hand, to join their army and power with the ungodly.
