d, he has no need of
other permission to defend his state against enemies who molest it,
as we have proved.

In this war, the third condition, too--we shall speak of the
second later--is fulfilled, namely, right intention; for its end
is the peace and security of the subjects, disturbed by these their
enemies. And this peace it has not been possible to secure by means
of our benevolent efforts, although such means have been tried--as
appears from our labors to that end last year in sending religious
of our order, and persons known to the Zambales, to persuade them to
desist from wrongdoing and be our friends, granting them a general
pardon for the wrongs they had committed against us; and although the
Zambales promised, and made oath in their fashion, they have defaulted
utterly, committing since then many atrocious wrongs against our
people, as appears from the reports on that matter which have been
drawn up. And, forasmuch as nothing has been gained through kindness,
comes now, as a last and drastic remedy, the resolution to win peace
and security for the king's subjects by waging war on his enemies; and
this is the right intention that is required according to Aristotle
and St. Augustine, as before quoted. But even suppose this intention
to be lacking, it is already said and proved above that this condition
is not in such sort essential as to oblige to indemnification.

It remains that we look into the second condition of just warfare,
to wit, that just cause exist for waging it. This condition, in which
might be presented greatest difficulty, is the clearest and plainest
part of the matter before us; for not only are some of the four causes
and grounds pointed out by us, as being any one of them in itself
sufficient, but all the just causes are here concurrent. The first
condition is fulfilled in that these Zambales impede the general
traffic by sea and land of those who go to Pangasin and Ylocos and
Cagayan. And, albeit the traffic works damage neither to them nor to
their lands, but uses a common highway, yet they sally out upon the
highways and kill and rob passengers, as appears from the reports.

Concurs also the second cause; for, although these Zambales are not
molested by our people, they assault and murder them, not only falling
upon them in the highways, as already said, but also seeking them out
in the settlements while they are laboring in the fields; so that
neither in their fields nor their homes ar
