A68036	Delamore, Andrew, attributed name.	Anti-duello. The anatomie of duells, with the symptomes thereof A treatise wherein is learnedly handled, whether a Christian magistrate may lawfully grant a duell, for to end a difference which consisteth in fact. Also, the maner and forme of combats granted, with the seuerall orders obserued in the proceeding thereof, with the list of such duels, as haue beene performed before the Kings of England. Truly and compendiously collected and set forth by Mr. Iohn Despagne, for the good of soueraigne and subiect. Published by his Maiesties command.	1632.0		.xml	application/xml	13290	330	55	But , what relation , or analogy hath this defence with the Magistrates absence rendred necessary , and which hee ought to haue forborne , if hee had beene in place with a Duell , which the Magistrate will authorise either by his presence , or by his approbation ? Nor makes it to the purpose to allege the Duels which haue beene fought betweene Princes , which haue determined their quarels by the monomachy of man to man. I will not say , that it is lawfull to a Prince so to hazard the head of the Common-wealth , and in his person , all the body of his Estate ; but when this way is permitted them , it is , because Soueraigne Princes haue not any Iudge aboue them who can doe them right , so that to obtaine reason from their hands , who are eleuated to as high a pitch of dignity as themselues ; there is not any other way , but by armes ; and these their doings haue an outward shew of charity : for a Prince will say , that hee likes better to expose his owne person to danger , then to see a bloody warre that should swallow vp many thousands of men , and giue occasion of an infinite slaughter .	cache/A68036.xml	txt/A68036.txt
