They are thus to be perswaded, that the warre is made vpon a iust cause, and that it is not vndertaken against the word of God: which is spoken to this end that subiects should not suffer themselues wittingly and willingly to be compelled to op∣pugne iust and true causes. But because subiectes cannot alwaies vnderstand the true causes, and counsels of their Princes, in this case, in the middest of their doubtfulnesss, this rule is to bee followed, hold that which is certaine, and leaue that which is vn∣certaine. Now this is certaine, that wee must obey authoritie when it commaundeth, not things manifestly vniust. And as in the law of Moses, Exod. 21.13. there was a refuge and sanctuary appointed for him that had killed another man, not willingly, nor of set purpose, so are the subiects worthie of excuse when in a doubtfull cause they obey their Prince.
