Of forraign War.
FOrraign war is necessary some times to maintain Peace at at home, it opens the vein of discontents, and lets out the hot & fevourish amb tion of the minde, which otherwise would grow to a dangerous, and mad rebellion; yet it makes most commonly a kingdom weak, and thin, according as the Physick doth work; for if the purges be very strong, it makes them faint and feeble, so the successe of war makes a kingdom, ill fortune makes it lean, and weak, good fortune gives it strength, and makes it fat.
