De guerre Paix.
Apodeixe.
Voy, Que le heaulme en guerre souvent mis
Tant de fois tinct du sang des ennemis.
En temps de Paix sert de rusche, à la mousche
Contenant cire, & miel doulx à la bouche.

Armes soient loing: Mais permise soit guerre,
Car aultrement, on ne peut paix acquerre.[1]
Une mesme chose peut avoir deux usa-
ges contraires, comme l’espée porte paix
par craincte & Justice: & porte guerre
par injure, & audace. Pource guerre est
necessaire pour avoir paix. Ce que
demon-
stre ung heaulme, en temps de guerre ser
vant aulx armes: en temps de paix aux a-
veilles, miel, & cire.
