I'M ACTUALLY SORT OF SURPRISED THIS HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE:
Note to self:
Given that the book you're framing your dissertation around is in excess of 1500 pages, when you come across a part of Grotius that seems particularly interesting (especially when 'interesting' means 'that's about the last source I'd expect him to go to in making this argument'), it's helpful to make a note of exactly where that interesting bit of argumentation happens, because when you go to look for it later, it will not be in any of the three chapters that deal extensively on the subject at hand, but buried in the middle of another chapter entirely.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
