      princes that lie about Utopia; who make so little account of their 


      faith; seem to be the reasons that determine them to engage in no 


      confederacies; perhaps they would change their mind if they lived 


      among us; but yet though treaties were more religiously observed; 


      they would still dislike the custom of making them; since the 


      world has taken up a false maxim upon it; as if there were no tie 


      of nature uniting one nation to another; only separated perhaps by 


      a mountain or a river; and that all were born in a state of 


      hostility; and so might lawfully do all that mischief to their 


      neighbors against which there is no provision made by treaties; 


      and that when treaties are made; they do not cut off the enmity; 


      or restrain the license of preying upon each other; if by the 


      unskilfulness of wording them there are not effectual provisos 


      made against them。 They; on the other hand; judge that no man is 


      to be esteemed our enemy that has never injured us; and that the 


      partnership of the human nature is instead of a league。 And that 


      kindness and good…nature unite men more effectually and with 


      greater strength than any agreements whatsoever; since thereby the 


      engagements of men's hearts become stronger than the bond and 


      obligation of words。
