The most excellent Hugo Grotius, his three books treating of the rights of war & peace in the first is handled, whether any war be just : in the second is shewed, the causes of war, both just and unjust : in the third is declared, what in war is lawful, that is, unpunishable : with the annotations digested into the body of every chapter / translated into English by William Evats ...

III. In War the ef∣fects are law∣full generally, that is, not pu∣nishable.

In this sense therefore it is lawfull for one Enemy to hurt another, both in his Person, or in his Estate; It is lawfull, I say, not only for him that makes War upon a Just ground, and that in the prosecution of that War contains himself within those bounds, which by the Law of Nature are prescribed him, as we have already said, but for both parties, and that without distinction. So that he that doth thus injure his Enemy, though he be ap∣prehended in another Princes Dominion, yet can he not be proceeded against as an Ho∣micide, or as a Thief; neither can any other Prince for this only Cause make War upon him, and in this sense is that of Salust true: By the Law of Arms all things are lawfull to the Conquerour.
