Proinde pacem et urbem, quam victores victique eodem jure obtinemus, amate, colite."

The case of the average man against State lotteries is equally simple; he cannot bear to be on the same side as Mr. Bottomley. The Record Lie I have just seen it quoted again. Yes, it appears solemnly in print, even now, at the end of the greatest war in history. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Cur igitur pacem nolo? Quia infida est, quia periculosa, quia esse non potest!" More moderate in form, Austria had in reality replied like England.

The latter formed its boasted scheme merely upon the plan of that barbarous policy, which composes the troubles of a turbulent land by the extermination of its inhabitants. This is the calm, not of order, but of inaction; it is not tranquillity, but the stillness of death; Trucidare falso nomine imperium, & ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant

Not peace, but a firebrand 'facem, non pacem' had the King held forth to his subjects. When the news came to Henry of Navarre that the King had really promulgated this fatal edict, he remained for a time, with amazement and sorrow, leaning heavily upon a table, with his face in his right hand. When he raised his head again so he afterwards asserted one side of his moustachio had turned white.

Their invariable motto is that if you wish for peace you must prepare for war "si vis pacem, para bellum" a notoriously false apophthegm, because armaments are provocative, not soothing, and the man who is a swash-buckler invites attack. It is needless to say that thousands of military men do not belong to this category: no one dreads war so much as the man who knows what it means.

Those of Tacitus are charged with indignation instead of pity; "like a jewel hung in ghastly night," to use Shakespeare's memorable simile, or like the red and angry autumnal star in the Iliad, they quiver and burn. Phrases like the famous ubi solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant, or the felix opportunitate mortis, are the concentrated utterance of a great but deeply embittered mind.

This work shews, that faith is not sufficient for Justification; and that if those who have faith live in sin, they are hated by God.
