THe
first
of
Challenges
(
that
ever
we
read
of
)
is
discovered
in
this
Chapter
,
David
though
as
yet
but
obscure
,
yet
no
private
man
.
He
was
the
annointed
of
the
Lord
,
the
appointed
of
God
for
this
designe

No
warrantable
patterne
for
our
moderne
Duellists
,
who
being
but
private
persons
unsheath
the
particular
sword
of
revenge
in
triviall
quarrels
:
who
for
the
breath
of
a
lye
will
venture
the
breath
of
their
nostrils
.
Like
Simeon
and
Levi
to
fight
upon
a
private
quarrell
,
and
in
their
anger
to
slay
a
man
,

But
David
was
armed
with
a
more
lawfull
quarrell
,
when
he
was
in
qpparatu
militari
,
in
his
preparation
for
armes
.
Saul

David
,
v.
38.
And
David
makes
choice
of
his
armes
in
this
verse
:
for
the
whole
verse
runs
thus
.
And
David
girded
his
sword
upon
his
armor
,
&
he
assaied
to
goe
:
for
he
had
not
proved
them
.
And
David
said
unto
Saul
,
I
cannot
goe
with
these
:
for
I
have
not
proved
them
.
The
body
of
my
Text
divides
it selfe
into
three
parts
.
I
cannot
goe
with
these
.
3.
The
reason
of
his
refusall
:
for
I
have
not
proved
them
.
These
three
particular
Circumstances
will
afford
us
three
substantiall
Aphorismes
of
warre
.
In
his
enimerat
Sanctus
David
,
cui
Dominus
tam
magnum
perhibuit
testimonium
.
Suppose
not
the
action
of
warre
unlawfull
for
any
,
wherein
David
was
an
Agent
,
whereof
God
himselfe
gave
such
a
notable
testimonie
.
Secondly
,
Davids
refusall
was
not
of
the
Action
,
but
of
the
armes
.
I
cannot
goe
with
these
.
There
is
a
choise
of
others
intimated
in
the
refusall
of
these
weapons
.
Though
he
refused
these
,
hee
used
his
owne
.
Hence
I
note
that
there
is
both
a
necessitie
,
and
a
choise
of
armes
.
Lastly
,
the
reason
of
his
refusall
was
his
want
of
skill
at
those
weapons
:
for
I
have
not
proved
them
.
Hence
I
note
the
necessitie
of
a
Military
discipline
,
of
a
Military
exercise
.
Of
these
three
Martiall
propositions
in
their
order
,
as
I
shall
be
enabled
by
the
God
of
order
.
From
David
the
warlike
Precedent
here
in
my
text
,
my
first
proposition
was
this
.
That
the
Action
of
warre
is
lawfull
.
For
the
explication
,
and
application
whereof
I
will
methodically
discover
the
Originall
of
warre
.
-
Then
the
Nature
of
warre
.
-
Then
the
lawfulnesse
of
warre
.
-
And
then
in
what
cases
it
may
be
lawfull
.
First
,
the
Originall
.
Non
sic
erat
in
principio
.
It
was
not
from
the
beginning
.
God
created
the
world
,
as
Salomon
built
his
Temple
,
hee
used
no
Iron
tooles
that
made
a
noise
.
The
voice
that
made
the
world
was
a
still
voice
.
The
foundation
was
laid
in
peace
.
When
man
was
created
the
worlds
Augustus
,
there
was
a
generall
peace
amongst
all
the
Creatures
,
in
their
submission
unto
man
,
in
their
union
among
themselves
.
But
when
hee
that
was
to
governe
the
Creatures
could
not
governe
himselfe
,
this
blessed
union
was
converted
into
a
bloody
warre
.
The
Creatures
fell
from
man
when
man
fell
from
God
.
The
fall
of
man
was
the
raising
of
a
double
war.
Man
against
himselfe
,
there
was
bellum
innatum
,
or
connaturale
,
an
intestine
war
,
the
spirit
against
the
flesh
.
And
the
soones
of
men
against
the
sonnes
of
men
;
there
was
bellum
nationale
,
a
nationall
warre
.
The
one
internall
,
the
other
externall
.
This
was
the
first
Originall
of
warre
.
For
the
Nature
of
it
.
It
is
a
scourge
.
Yet
some
desperate
wretches
(
having
nought
to
loose
)
entertaine
no
newes
with
better
welcome
then
the
rumour
of
warre
.

they
are

they

(
such
as
wholly
depend
upon
warres
,
pretend
a
Warrant
for
this
their
bloody

In
the
time
of
peace
they
can
commonly
shew
no
coin
but
markes
.
It
is
an
abuse
that
savours
neither
of
Christianity
nor
policy
,
that
any
approoved
Souldier
should
be
put
to
his
shifts
.
Iulium
Sidus
Iulius
Caesar
had
never
such
a
malevolent
aspect
,
as
at
any
time
to
suffer
it
.
But
though
misery
may
constraine
a
man
to
desperate
resolutions
,
it
doth
not
warrant
them
.
The
summe
is
this
.
The
use
of
many
things
may
be
good
(
saith
Calvin
)
yet
the
things
themselves
naught
.
The
use
of
a
Souldier
is
necessary
,
but
to
be
a
profest
Souldier
,
to
live
no
otherwise
but
by
blood
and
spoile
,
is
no
way
warrantable
.
Nehemias
builder
may
be
the
Souldiers
Embleme
:
A
sword
in
one
hand
,
a
trowell
in
the
other
,
with
Caesars
motto
inverted
:
Ex
utroque
miles
.
A
Souldier
must
have
both
one
hand
to
fight
,
another
to
worke
.
If
there
bee
no
use
of
the
sword
,
he
must
make
use
of
the
trowell
:
He
must
get
his
living
as
by
blood
,
so
by
sweat
,
as
he
is
best
accommodated
,
by
the
sweat
either
of
body
,
or
braine
.
Moses
and
Dauid
were
both
Souldiers
,
and
Shepheards
;
when
they
left
the
Army
,

But
to
bee
a
Mercenary
slave
unto
any
quarrell
,
or
Religion
,
is
more
heathenish
,
then
Christian
.
The
Lord
will
scatter
those
that
delight
in
warre
:
and
what
profession
more
scattered
,
then
the
Mercenary
souldier

I
thinke
that
David
was
as
valiant
as
the
best
of
these
.
And
yet
he
did
not
leape
into
his
Armes
,
untill
God
was
blasphemed
,
his
King
like
to
be
unthroned
,
and
his

yet
they

Permission

The

delivered

hands

the
spoiler

spoiled

As
it

And

As

Scourge

But
wee
must
know
that
a
just
God
never
inflicts
a

Wee
take
notice
of
a
secondary
cause
of
warre

the
pride

Not
the
primary

sinne

Warre
is
a
punishment

sin
.
The
Lord

affirmes

If

saith
the
Lord

Thus

originall
of

and
the
Nature

Is
it
religiously
lawfull

subordinate
Magistrate
to
inflict
a
severe
punishment
upon
a
particular
violence
?
and
shall
it
not

lawfull
for
the
Supreme
,
(
who
cannot
appeale
higher

himselfe

to
cut
off
such
by
the
hand
of

who
offer

God
as
hee
is
universall
,
so
he
is
just
;
and
a
generall
act
of
justice
is
no
way
derogatory
unto
the
glory
of
God
.
But
it
seemes
that
our
Saviour
is
no
friend
to
warre
,
when
he
tells
us
that
all
they
that
take
up
the
sword
shall
perish
by
the
sword

I
answere
,
that
place
is
meant
of
such
as
take
up
the
sword
of
revenge
,
before
a
lawfull
authority
hath
put

David
in

Chapter
tooke
up
the
sword
,
yet
perished
not
,

proved
victorious
:
But

David

Saint
Austine
makes
the
answere
,
that
this
and
the
like
precepts
are
necessary
,
magis
ad
praeparationem
cordis
,
quàm
ad
opus
quod
in
aperto
fit
,
&c.
for
the
inward
preparing
of
the
minde
unto
a
charitable
disposition
in
our
private
injuries
:
not
to
cut
off
the
generall
action
of
warre
,
which
must
have
a
greater
reference
to
the
publike
,
then
to
the
private
good
.
When
the
souldiers
came
to
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
hee
bad
them
to
be
contented
with
their
wages
,
not
refuse
their
wages
.
Hee
doth
direct
their
calling
,
not
reject
it
:
A
calling
therefore
no
way
contradictory
unto
the
glory
of
God
.
And
thus
you
have
heard
the
Originall
of
warre
,
the
nature
of
warre
,
and
the
lawfulnesse
of
warre
.
I
will
now
demonstrate
in
what
cases
it
may
bee
lawfull
:
most
of
which
I
finde
listed
in
the
Warlike
proceedings
of
David

the

They
that

Our

have

that
some

beene

Princes

with

neighbours
,
though
it
be
unjust
,
yet
they
alwaies
pretend
the

The

points

that

,
and

Necessitie
,
not

must
bee
the
cause
of
warre
:
A

is

I
passe

the

of
a

:
I
come

was

of

cannot

There
is
as
I
told
you
,
David
was
arm'd
,
though
but
weakely
:
He
had
an
offensive
weapon
a
sling
,
saith
the
Text.
A
defensive
weapon
,
a
breast-plate
saith
Iosephus
.
There
is
a
necessity
of
Armes
:
we
have
now
no
sufficient
warrant
that
God
will
destroy
our
enemies
immediately
,
as
he
did
the
Host
of
Senacherib
;
or
miraculously
,
as
he
did
Iericho
.
God
doth
now
confine
us
unto
the
meanes
:
To
despise
this
,
were
to
contemne
the
subordinate
instrument
,
which
God
hath
appointed
.
As
it
is
an
Atheisticall
impiety
to
preferre
the
sword
of
Gideon
,
before
the
sword
of
the
Lord
:
So
it
is
an
unwarrantable
presumption
to
separate
the
sword
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
sword
of
Gideon
.
The
sword
of
the
Lord
is
to
direct
:
the
sword
of
Gideon
to
execute
.
The
sword
of
the
Lord
is
the
primary
efficient
:
the
sword
of
Gideon
the
subordinate
instrument
.
The
first
without
the
last
will
doe
nothing
:
the
last
without
the
first
can
doe
nothing
.
David
did
not
trust
in
his
bow
,
nor
his
sword
,
Psal.
44.6
.
yet
hee
might
use
them
both
.
He
might
use
the
instrument
,
and
trust
in
the
principall
Agent
.
The
danger
of
these
times
doth
prompt
us
to
the
practice
of
our
Saviours
lesson
.
Let
him
that
hath
no
sword
sell
his
coat
and
buy
him

that
it

The
Denomination
of
an
army
is
either
Exercitus
,
In
the
infancy
of
warre
before
men
knew
any
manner
of
military
order
:
Quantitatis
nulla
est
efficacia
.
Quantity
is
of
no
force
.
It
is
qualitie
that
must
denominate
our
forces
.
The
most
numerous
Armies
have
not
alwayes
carried
away
the
victory
.
Witnesse
the
victory
of
Alexander
over
Darius
,
Of
Cesar
over
Pompey
,
Of
Hannibul
over
the
Romane
Consuls
,
Of
Edward
the
blacke
Prince
over
Iohn
king
of
France
in
that
most
renowned
battell
of
Poicters
.
Where
not
the
most
,
but
the
best
(
though
fewest
)
souldiers
were
Lords
of
the
Field
.
Then
what
followes
but
a
diligent
Practise
of
that
Martiall
Aphorisme
?
The
Jewes
though
miraculously
victorious
,
Abrabam
,
Moses
,
Iosuah
,
Saul
,
David
,
Salomon
,
Iehosaphat
,
Asa
,
Vzziab
make
it
very
probable
,
that
the
Jewes
had
a
Schoole
for
the
warriour
,
as
well
as
for
the
Prophet
.
The
antient
Gaules
(
that
most
warlike
Nation
)
were
so
accustomed
to
the
bearing
of
Armes
,
that
they
made
their
Coucell
house
an
armory
,
they
went
armed
unto
their
Councels
.
Where
the
Plaudite
of
an
Oration
was
not
the
clapping
of
hands
,
but
the
clattering
of
Armes
.
It
was
Military
exercise
,
and
experience
that
enlarged
both
Greece
and
Rome
into
Monarchies
.
We
also
have
a
Customary
Annuall
training
of
our
Counties
:
But
sometimes
so
triviall
,
cannot
goe
with
these
:
for
we
have
not
proved
them
.
But
I
leave
a
generall
importunity
,

The
Rere
of
my
discourse
shall
bring
in
the
Rere
,
the
antient
Quarter
Band
of
the
Triarij
,
Those
souldiers
that
were
most
compleatly
disciplined
:
Who
were
the
very
Soule
from
whence
the
body
of
the
Army
had
both
life
and
motion
.
To
you
I
doe
now
direct
my
exhortation
,
who
are
the
Nursing
Fathers
,
and
the
Generous
Associates
of
our
Nursery
of
Armes
.
I
have
proved
unto
you
the
lawfulnesse
of
the
Generall
Action
of
warre
,
The
necessitie
and
choice
of
the
Instruments
of
warre
.
But
what
is
munition
without
men
?
Or
what
are
men
without
skill
?
And
where
is
skill
sooner
attained
than
in
the
Schoole
of
Martiall
Exercise
?
It
would
be
dangerous
tarrying
from
this
Schoole
untill
our
Enemies
whip
us
to
it
.
A
rod
of
Iron
is
soone
made
for
the
back
of
the
Lazy
Trivant

Wheras
readinesse
and
dexteritie
in
Martial
discipline
would
startle
the
Enemy
,
for
feare
he
should
be
scourged
with
his
owne
rod
.
Then
let
not
your
Nursery
of
Armes
miscarry
like
an
untimely
birth
:
Or
so
faire
a
Garden
(
like
Ionahs

)
perish
in
a
night

Preferre
not
a
Bowling
greene
before
a
Military
Garden
:
but
rather
follow
a
Captaine
,
than
a
Jacke
.
Recreation
is
convenient
,
but
Practise
is
necessary

the

with
a

In

to
provide
for
war
is
the

The

not

But
we
finde
no
such
Patent

Though

intail'd
unto
you
and

Though

enjoy

by

firmest
Title
;
yet
a
time
may
come
when
it
cannot
bee
held
by
any
other
Title
but
the
sword
.
And
then
they
that
shew
the
best
Instruments
,
and
the
best

,
will
have
the
possession
.

Action
should
be
men
of

.
This
honourable
City
may
be
compared
unto
the
sea-faring
Tribe
of
Zebulon
,
that
was
a
Haven
for
ships
.
Gen.
41.9
.
And
so
is
this
.
The
men
of
that
Tribe
were
expert
in
warre
:
They
could
keepe
ranke
,
they
were
skilfull
at
all
the
Instruments
of
warre
.
1

And
so
may
the
men
of
this
City
;
If
there
would
more
of
them
,
and
more
often
frequent
the
Schoole
of
warre
.
One
vertue
of
a
souldier
is
silence
,
A
Maiden
vertue
:
Maides
must
be
seene
,
not
heard
.
Souldiers
though
they
must
not
bee
heard
,
yet
they
must
be
seene
.
It
will
redound
more
to
their
honour
than
shame
to
make
a
frequent
Appearance
.
The
spoiles
of
Salmacis
were
without
sweat
or
blood
.
Your
Military
Exercise
costs
you
no
blood
.
You
may

spare

Then

melt
the

in
