I, conr. if we mark his meaning rather than hts Ill, c, 13• words, he feemeth to contend , that fuch a Citizen be not ra·lhly forfaken , vvhen there is a poffibility and hope of defenfe. For he brings alio an example of the Ita/ tan Foot . who forfook Po~pey , before all was loll , being aflur' d of quarter by (4-[ar; which att he defervedly repro• yeth. But, whether an innocent Citizen may be given into the hands of the enemy, for the a voiding of d.ethuction otherwife imminent to the Commonwc:dth , learned men difpute: And it was of old difputed,as, when Demofthenes produced that renowned Fable of the Doggs, whom the \Valves , treati1 :g wich the Sheep about a poeace, demanded of them. Not onely VA{tp-tius denies it to be lawfull, but He, whoie opinion is accus·d by Va(quius as perfidious, Sot us. Yet Sot us affirms , fuch a Citizen iS"bound to deliver up himfelf to the enemies : and this too Vafquius denies, becaufe the nature of Civill fociety , whid1 every one hath enterd into for his own benefit , doth not require it. But hence it follow.s only ,that the Citizen is net bound to this by right properly lo called ; it doth not fJllow, that in Charity he is not bound to do it.
