commodi ; the contrary, “stubborn,” “insociable,” “froward,” “intractable.”

A sixth law of Nature is this, “that upon caution of the future time, a man ought to pardon the offences past of them that repenting, desire it.” For “pardon” is nothing but granting of peace; which though granted to them that persevere in their hostility, be not peace, but fear; yet not granted to them that give caution of the future time, is sign of an aversion to peace; and therefore contrary to the law of Nature.
