conjundi, ficut ad Saul dicit Alienigena : A
ï . 1{cg. 17. Date mi hi virum , d r deßendamus in fingu-
lare certamen : & f i percujferit me , erimus
vobis fervi : f i autem ego perçufjero eum ,
vos fervi nobis eritis . Cum igitur hi feipfos
manciparint voluntati ac voluptati inimici;
quomodo belligerare inter fe dici pote-
runt > Quodfi impugnantur ; non tamquam
de virtute folliciti dccertant , fed eo ino-
piæ *atque neceffitatis adadi , & quidem
merito , ab eo qui commercium concilia- B
vit iniquitatis : unde & feipfos précipitant
, qui ftudium omne in ejufmodi col-
locant , talibufque acquiefcentes , etiam
dona conferunt , ac ftipendia perfolvunt,
ut voluntatem ejus , qui ipfôs decepit
perficiant. Quamobrem nulla in iis , ubi
malum & fcelus offenderint , eft vis dif-
cernendi , aut continentia , aut a malo
abftinentia. Ar Sandorum bella arque ccr-
tamina non fie fe habent. Nam dum op- C
pugnantur , refiftunt : dum incontinentiæ
flamma incenduntur, continentiæ remedium
adhibent : ac dum vexantur } fuftinent ,
ipfamque materiam præfentem averfantur
propter timorem Domini. Illi vero oppu-
gnantur , non quafi contraria tyranno fa-
piant ; fed ut confueta vedigalia reddant ,
pravarumque voluptatum fundiones exerr
i.Tetr. 2. ceant. A quo enim quis fuperatus eft,hujus
& fervus eft. At ex certatoribus fiquis D
etiam fupplantatus fuerit , citius refurgit .
Nam qui a Barbaris detmentur , &. tyran-
nicæ fubjedi funt poteftati, non omnes gau-
dent eorum fervitute, a quibus funt capti :
fed ii , qui direptionibus & cædibus dele-
dantur , hi foli lxti ac hilares permanent
abfque vinculis atque carceribus, cum paf-
fione teneantur : quare & pro Barbaris pu-
gnant, ac exploratores adverfus contributes
conftituuntur : morum enim improbitate cum E
Barbaris copulantur. Qui vero fuper popu-
latione ac defolatione confanguineorum an-
guntur, perditionemque animæ fuæ lugent,
hi fugére conantur, cegre ferentes impium
illud vivendi genus , occafionemque obfer-
vant rccuperandi libertatem illam, qua olim
fruebantur, & nulla cum adverfariis benevo-
lentia confpirant. Quare ex illorum manibus
erepti, adverfarii impiorum erunt, pietatis
propugnatores fadi. Tempus igitur poeni- E
tentiæ inftat : quare qui ab ilia injuria, acer-
baque fervitute volunt liberari, refiftere eos
oportet voluntatibus tyranni, &oppugnare
ipfum propter c-aritatem Creatoris . Tune
enim periculum præclari capieut certami-
nis , virtutis fudores dillillantcs , quando
non labiis dumtaxat , fed & cordis af-
fedu ad eum dicent : notum fit tibi ,
