insomuch_o that_o god_n be_v in_o our_o soul_n he_o act_v immediate_o there_o and_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o please_v they_o deceive_v themselves_o extreme_o who_o imagine_v that_o in_o make_v these_o reflection_n on_o the_o dependence_n of_o man_n valour_n it_o shall_v be_v capable_a to_o abate_v their_o courage_n rather_o than_o to_o add_v more_o assurance_n to_o it_o for_o as_o it_o be_v in_o civil_a society_n the_o power_n of_o our_o friend_n create_v in_o we_o rather_o confidence_n than_o fear_n so_o the_o divine_a omnipotence_n be_v so_o far_o from_o abate_v the_o courage_n of_o those_o person_n that_o acknowledge_v and_o adore_v it_o that_o it_o elevate_v and_o confirm_v it_o and_o certain_o i_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o exhortation_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v make_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v make_v to_o excite_v man_n to_o valour_n have_v not_o so_o much_o force_n as_o one_o sentence_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n allege_v by_o st._n

chap._n xii_o what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o valiant_a action_n among_o the_o circumstance_n which_o attend_v action_n the_o most_o essential_a of_o all_o be_v the_o end_n what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o action_n of_o valour_n the_o pagan_n have_v propound_v glory_n for_o its_o end_n christian_n morality_n advance_v high_a and_o to_o conceive_v aright_o of_o the_o grandeur_n and_o solidity_n of_o the_o sentiment_n she_o inspire_v upon_o this_o subject_a it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v it_o be_v in_o valour_n as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o virtue_n and_o that_o military_a action_n ought_v to_o be_v rank_v among_o the_o good_a work_n to_o which_o the_o reward_n of_o heaven_n be_v promise_v there_o be_v in_o they_o this_o in_o particular_a that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o more_o painful_a and_o difficult_a than_o the_o other_o but_o they_o oftentimes_o put_v a_o period_n to_o the_o life_n of_o he_o that_o perform_v they_o and_o so_o he_o embrace_v death_n in_o the_o actual_a exercise_n of_o virtue_n if_o a_o man_n close_v up_o his_o life_n stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o assist_v the_o poor_a and_o in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o alms-deed_n and_o charity_n or_o if_o he_o render_v up_o his_o soul_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o altar_n whilst_o he_o be_v apply_v himself_o to_o the_o invocation_n and_o adoration_n of_o god_n such_o a_o death_n will_v with_o reason_n be_v account_v as_o a_o favour_n and_o will_v give_v we_o advantageous_a thought_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o this_o man._n we_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o same_o opinion_n of_o a_o death_n which_o happen_v in_o military_a expedition_n and_o to_o make_v the_o reflection_n more_o agreeable_a to_o this_o notion_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o it_o must_v be_v a_o war_n wage_v against_o infidel_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o prince_n the_o war_n be_v just_a and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o subject_n that_o they_o be_v command_v by_o their_o prince_n then_o we_o may_v say_v that_o death_n be_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o he_o that_o suffer_v it_o be_v a_o victim_n it_o will_v be_v object_v without_o doubt_n that_o this_o sacrifice_n may_v not_o be_v please_v to_o god_n because_o it_o may_v suffer_v that_o death_n and_o yet_o otherwise_o be_v in_o a_o ill_a state_n i_o agree_v it_o but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o case_n peculiar_a to_o valour_n only_o see_v that_o it_o may_v be_v also_o that_o he_o who_o die_v in_o the_o actual_a exercise_n of_o almsgiving_n or_o of_o prayer_n yet_o may_v not_o die_v in_o a_o good_a disposition_n of_o conscience_n there_o be_v only_o one_o difference_n to_o be_v observe_v that_o almsgiving_n and_o prayer_n do_v not_o in_o themselves_o expose_v a_o man_n life_n to_o hazard_v but_o military_a action_n be_v accompany_v with_o danger_n and_o it_o be_v their_o very_a business_n to_o encounter_v they_o insomuch_o that_o we_o may_v sober_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o a_o soldier_n be_v particular_o oblige_v to_o take_v care_n of_o his_o conscience_n and_o in_o that_o he_o be_v expose_v to_o death_n hourly_o he_o ought_v always_o to_o be_v well_o prepare_v to_o die_v daily_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o make_v a_o far_o research_v what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o valiant_a action_n it_o be_v the_o same_o as_o of_o other_o virtuous_a action_n valour_n propound_v no_o less_o a_o aim_n than_o the_o noble_a of_o all_o conquest_n that_o of_o heaven_n she_o propound_v a_o immortality_n that_o be_v not_o feign_v nor_o metaphorical_a as_o be_v that_o of_o fame_n but_o a_o life_n true_o eternal_a and_o true_o happy_a as_o to_o that_o other_o immortality_n such_o as_o it_o be_v i_o mean_v the_o glory_n which_o spring_v from_o valour_n we_o must_v see_v of_o what_o disposition_n christian_a prince_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o this_o respect_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v a_o notion_n in_o the_o write_n of_o a_o ancient_a father_n which_o at_o the_o first_o surprise_v i_o but_o it_o be_v very_o solid_a and_o very_o necessary_a upon_o this_o occasion_n he_o preach_v to_o his_o people_n after_o this_o manner_n have_v a_o care_n of_o my_o reputation_n it_o be_v your_o

for_o himself_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v of_o god_n by_o his_o reputation_n but_o by_o his_o virtue_n he_o have_v only_o need_v of_o it_o for_o his_o people_n to_o maintain_v his_o subject_n in_o their_o duty_n to_o hinder_v his_o enemy_n from_o undertake_v any_o thing_n against_o they_o and_o in_o a_o word_n for_o a_o thousand_o thing_n important_a to_o the_o public_a we_o can_v doubt_v then_o but_o that_o the_o reputation_n of_o king_n be_v capable_a of_o produce_v great_a effect_n be_v it_o either_o in_o peace_n or_o war_n but_o all_o this_o have_v no_o far_a regard_n to_o a_o prince_n but_o during_o his_o life_n ought_v he_o then_o to_o neglect_v a_o reputation_n which_o shall_v endure_v after_o death_n no_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o neglect_v it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o desire_v it_o not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o which_o be_v the_o motive_n we_o have_v former_o touch_v at_o and_o appear_v here_o to_o be_v manifest_o true_a indeed_o st._n
