words which follow, and are of so great importance? to wit * 1.1 these; Nam Pirata non est ex perduellium numero definitus, sed communis hostis omnium: cùm hoc nec fides esse debet, nec iusiurandum commune. That is, For a Pirat is not to be reckoned in the number of enemies (meaning such, with whom we ought to keepe fidelitie, for Perduelles in this place is no more than 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉) but is the common enemie of all, with whom there ought not to be common faith, or oath. This verifieth my former ex∣position, concerning the outward Court of man, supposing that the meaning of Cicero is, that seeing Theeues and Rob∣bers are outlawes, the oath which shall not be kept with them can not be periury, and so censured by any law ofman: for when there is no Ius, which is to be violated, there can be no periurium. And in all this there is no note of our Equi∣uocators mixt clause of Reseruation, which the sequell will more fully explaine.
