Excerpt from The Sunday Library, Vol. 6: Or the Protestant's Manual for the Sabbath-Day; Being a Selection of Sermons From Eminent Divines of the Church of England, Chiefly Within the Last Half Century; With Occasional Biographical Sketches and Notes

It is a melancholy consideration, that creatures endued with reason and humanity should ever come to employ force against one another, and make the dreadful addition of the miseries of war to the many, unavoidable sufferings Of life. But wicked as this is, when passion and resentment, desire of unjust gain, or fondness of infamous glory, prompts to it; yet when injuries of pernicious consequence are done to a nation, and persisted in, and no competent redress can be obtained, it becomes then both ne cessary for particular societies, and beneficial to human society in general, that invaded rights be vigorously asserted by the only way left. When the sword is drawn for justice alone, and ever ready to be sheathed as soon as that is granted, then Heaven may be appealed to, with hopes of a favourable sentence coming forth from his Presence, whose eyes behold the thing that is But if the assertors of a righteous cause he in other respects a sinful people, it is,evidently just for God, who bath the cognisance of both these things, to regard whichsoever of them infinite wisdom shall direct.
