1But if a prince, or Christian pub: wealth (as sometimes it chanceth) should be in danger, may they desire help at infidels hands? They cannot. For if Paul will have us rather to suffer wrong and hurt, than that we should go ⟨p. 100⟩to the judgement seats of the infidels when we are in controversy with our brethren: How much less is it lawful to use the help of the ungodly, to deliver us from other Christians, which unjustly oppress us.

I know that Asa king of Judah sent money, gold and silver,1 unto Benhadab king of Syria, to make war against the king of Samaria, that thereby he might be delivered from him which in a manner oppressed him: Howbeit I do not think that the act of this king (though it had good success) is to be followed. For he was reproved of God for it. And though it be not expressed in the book of kings, yet in Paralip: it is manifestly described. For there we read that the prophet was purposedly sent of God unto Asa the king to reprove him grievously for this his act.
