Indeed the law of nature teaches us to kill our neighbor, and accordingly we find this practiced all over the world; and if we do not indulge ourselves in eating human flesh, it is because we have much better fare; but for your parts, who have not such resources as we, it is certainly much better judged to feast upon your enemies than to throw their bodies to the fowls of the air; and thus lose all the fruits of your victory.
Efectivamente el derecho natural enseña á matar al próxîmo, y así es estilo en todo el mundo: y si no exercitamos nosotros el derecho de comérnoslos, consiste en que tenemos otros manjares con que regalarnos; pero vosotros no estais en el mismo caso, y cierto vale mas comerse á sus enemigos, que abandonar á los cuervos y las cornejas el fruto de la victoria.
