v._o a_o discourse_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o a_o free-state_n above_o a_o kingly_a government_n have_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n state_v the_o design_n and_o give_v a_o account_n of_o those_o

peace_n wealth_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v how_o light_o man_n prize_v this_o invaluable_a jewel_n of_o liberty_n which_o have_v cost_v the_o commonwealth_n so_o much_o blood_n and_o treasure_n trample_v the_o precious_a pearl_n under_o their_o foot_n like_o swine_n so_o that_o the_o parliament_n meet_v now_o with_o as_o many_o difficulty_n to_o preserve_v as_o ever_o they_o have_v to_o purchase_v it_o but_o for_o this_o there_o be_v two_o special_a reason_n which_o may_v be_v collect_v out_o of_o the_o †_o 18._o florentine_n subtle_a discourse_n upon_o livy_n who_o compare_v such_o as_o have_v be_v educate_v under_o a_o monarchy_n or_o tyranny_n to_o those_o beast_n which_o have_v be_v cage_a or_o coop_v up_o all_o their_o life_n in_o a_o den_n where_o they_o seem_v to_o live_v in_o as_o much_o pleasure_n as_o other_o beast_n that_o be_v abroad_o and_o if_o they_o be_v let_v loose_a yet_o they_o will_v return_v in_o again_o because_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o value_v or_o use_v their_o liberty_n so_o strong_a a_o impression_n be_v make_v likewise_o by_o education_n and_o custom_n from_o the_o cradle_n even_o upon_o man_n that_o be_v endue_v with_o reasonable_a soul_n that_o they_o choose_v to_o live_v in_o those_o place_n and_o custom_n of_o government_n under_o which_o they_o have_v be_v breed_v rather_o than_o submit_v to_o better_a which_o may_v make_v more_o for_o their_o content_a and_o advantage_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o those_o poor_a slave_n under_o the_o turk_n persian_a tartar_n muscovite_n russian_a french_a and_o spaniard_n with_o other_o eastern_a northern_a and_o western_a tyrant_n be_v so_o enamour_v of_o their_o chain_n that_o they_o admire_v their_o own_o condition_n above_o all_o other_o and_o like_o the_o indian_n adore_v the_o devil_n which_o torment_v they_o because_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o a_o better_a deity_n to_o protect_v them_o but_o beside_o education_n and_o custom_n under_o another_o form_n there_o be_v a_o second_o reason_n why_o man_n be_v so_o degenerous_a in_o spirit_n as_o to_o vassalize_v themselves_o and_o neglect_v the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o liberty_n and_o that_o be_v a_o general_a corruption_n and_o depravation_n of_o manner_n by_o luxurious_a course_n when_o a_o nation_n be_v even_o swallow_v up_o with_o riot_n and_o luxury_n so_o that_o be_v slave_n to_o their_o own_o lust_n they_o become_v the_o more_o easy_o enslave_v unto_o the_o lust_n of_o another_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o variation_n of_o the_o roman_a state_n which_o in_o its_o primitive_a innocence_n be_v so_o sensible_a of_o liberty_n that_o when_o brutus_n and_o colatinus_n have_v once_o expel_v the_o tarquin_n the_o people_n all_o most_o ready_o join_v with_o then_o as_o one_o man_n in_o defence_n of_o their_o freedom_n florus_n yea_o they_o be_v so_o zealous_a of_o it_o for_o a_o long_a time_n that_o no_o relation_n or_o consideration_n whatsoever_o of_o former_a merit_n can_v avail_v with_o they_o to_o spare_v those_o that_o attempt_v aught_o against_o it_o for_o when_o the_o son_n of_o brutus_n be_v find_v guilty_a of_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o bring_v back_o the_o tarquinian_a family_n they_o condemn_v they_o to_o death_n and_o their_o own_o father_n be_v as_o forward_o as_o any_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o execution_n so_o the_o famous_a manlius_n likewise_o to_o who_o rome_n owe_v both_o herself_o and_o liberty_n be_v by_o he_o preserve_v against_o the_o gall_n in_o the_o great_a extremity_n be_v notwithstanding_o upon_o a_o discovery_n of_o his_o after-intent_n to_o surprise_v their_o liberty_n throw_v headlong_o down_o the_o tarpeian_a rock_n within_o view_n of_o the_o capitol_n which_o he_o have_v so_o noble_o defend_v by_o which_o action_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o when_o rome_n be_v in_o its_o pure_a estate_n virtue_n beget_v a_o desire_n of_o liberty_n and_o this_o desire_n beget_v in_o they_o a_o extraordinary_a courage_n and_o resolution_n to_o defend_v it_o which_o three_o walk_v a_o long_a time_n hand_n in_o hand_n together_o and_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o first_o foundder_n of_o their_o freedom_n have_v so_o little_a difficulty_n in_o maintain_v themselves_o against_o those_o invasion_n which_o happen_v afterward_o by_o the_o tarquin_n and_o their_o royal_a confederate_n but_o in_o process_n of_o time_n when_o the_o roman_n have_v lose_v that_o ancient_a virtue_n which_o purchase_v their_o liberty_n and_o a_o empire_n over_o the_o world_n be_v soften_v in_o their_o manner_n and_o conquer_v by_o their_o vice_n who_o dominion_n they_o have_v conquer_v they_o soon_o bow_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o imperial_a tyranny_n and_o though_o there_o appear_v afterward_o some_o spark_n of_o ancient_a courage_n and_o love_n of_o liberty_n among_o they_o when_o they_o take_v off_o caesar_n himself_o caligula_n nero_n and_o in_o the_o end_n rid_v themselves_o quite_o of_o that_o tyrannical_a stock_n of_o the_o caesar_n yet_o i_o say_v because_o those_o spark_n be_v kindle_v only_o in_o a_o few_o of_o the_o more_o noble_a soul_n and_o the_o generality_n corrupt_a and_o degenerate_a from_o their_o old_a virtue_n therefore_o such_o heroic_a mind_n as_o endeavour_v can_v by_o no_o mean_n engage_v they_o to_o assert_v their_o liberty_n it_o be_v observable_a also_o in_o all_o time_n the_o northern_a and_o more_o manly_a people_n that_o have_v no_o acquaintance_n with_o luxurious_a diet_n and_o apparel_n nor_o

those_o people_n that_o inhabit_v the_o delicate_a part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o in_o asia_n and_o other_o country_n where_o civility_n have_v degenerate_v into_o effeminacy_n they_o ever_o have_v

in_o virtuous_a spirit_n to_o recover_v their_o freedom_n they_o have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n fail_v in_o the_o enterprise_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o their_o party_n which_o
