Peace observes the harmony and concord in the universe and how elephants, sheep, cranes, jays, storks, dolphins, bees, and ants get along and work together. Unanimity is of absolute necessity for man, yet neither nature, education, nor the rewards of concord and the disadvantages of disunity seem to be able to unite mankind in mutual love. Man's ability to speak and reason and cultivate friendship ought to lead to peace. Man benefits from reciprocity and mutual support, and thus cities have been constructed. Children depend upon parental care.
Peace turns to the scholars and philosophers, but here finds continual disputing.
Even the monks are divided into factions. Yet the angels proclaimed peace on earth at the coming of Christ who also taught peace. The princes of this world put men in uniforms as a sign to whom they belong, but the Christ said that his disciples would be known only by the love they have for each other. Peace describes the love of Christ and peaceful qualities of true Christians. Christians should war against vice.
