The Reuiew.
4 Very good, they were Prisoners by the law of armes,* 1.1 and might not therefore violate their oath: some of yours who haue beene prisoners by the law of the land, according to the law of nature in cases of meere treason, somtime (notwithstanding their oathes vnto their keepers to bee true prisoners) haue made vse of their heeles and af∣ter their escape haue found intertainment and securitie in the now Rome. Neither may you answere, that such men sware not absolutely, but equiuocatingly, for so (you know) did that faithlesse prisoner, whom the Senate there∣fore sent backe againe in a vengeance vnto Haniball. All this while we heare nothing of Mentall Reseruation.
