Romans Concerning the Roman Ingratitude and onely single two or three of the many Examples of their Ingratitude to their deserving Chiestains to illustrate That Rewards were not bestowed as they ought to have been even to such as were the greatest Preservers of their Country and such as raised the Glory of the Roman Name to the highest pitch of Glory T. Martius Coriolanus called Coriolanus had conquered the Volsci and Aequi yet under pretext that he had advised to sell Corn in time of Dearth at an higher Rate than was convenient he was banished Yet he took not that Revenge he might have done in joyning with the Volsci Furius Camillus subdued the Falisci Furius Camillus but was banished the City upon a Suggestion of some Inequality of dividing the Spoil and retired to ARdaea from whence when the Gauls under Brennus had got all Rome but the Capitol he forgetting the Ingratitude of his Country drew an Army together with which he fell upon the dispersed Gauls and so saved his Country The two Scipio's strangely enlarged the Roman Empire The Two Scipio's by conquering every place where they were employed Publius Scipio the elder Brother overthrew Hannibal and subjected the whole State of Carthage by which he deservedly had the Style of Africanus as his Brother had that of Asiaticus by conquering the Kingdom of Macedon and giving Laws to all Greece and other Territories in Asia Concerning the elder the Senate was unwilling he should carry the War into Africk But the People were earnest for it Concerning Publius Scipio the elder Brother Upon which the Learned (x) Sir Walter Raleigh l. 5. c. 3. sect 18. Historian and Statesman observes That it is often found in Councils of State that the busie and obstinate Heads of a few do carry all the rest and many times Men make a surrender of their own Judgments to the Wisdom that hath gotten it self a Name by giving happy Directions in Troubles by-past therefore he that reposeth himself upon the Advice of many shall often find himself deceived The Counsel of the Many being wholly directed by the Empire of a Few that oversway the rest For here Q. Fabius was accounted the Oracle of his time for his wary Nature suited well with the Business that fell out in the chief of his Imployment therefore others adhered to him that was grown old in following one Course from which they would not shift as the change of Times required But the People who though they could not well advise and deliberate yet could well apprehend embraced the needful Motion of Scipio and furnished him with all Supplies and Furtherance they could From hence I may note the Inconvenience of this Government wherein sometimes the Senators shall be led by one or some few one way and then by others and sometimes the People shall over-rule the Votes of the Senate For though this may be fortunate at some times yet at others it may be as fatal The great Success of Scipio was celebrated with that excess of Joy and deservedly as Rome perhaps never shew'd the like and his Brother L. Scipio's Triumph was not much less than it Yet these two so famous Brothers afterwards were called one after another by two Tribunes of the People to Judgment in probability by the instigation of some of the Faction of the Senate against them The African could not endure that such unworthy Men should question him of purloining from the common Treasure or of being hired by Antiochus to make an ill Bargain for his Country When therefore the Day of Answer came he appeared before the Tribunes not humbled as one accused but followed by a great Train of his Friends and Clients with which he passed through the midst of the Assembly and having Audience told the People That upon the same day of the Year he fought a great Battel against Hannibal and finished the Punic War by a signal Victory In memory of which he thought it no fit Season to brabble at the Law but intended to visit the Capitol and there give Thanks to Jupiter and the rest of the Gods by whose Grace both on that day and at other times he had well and happily discharged the most weighty Business of the Commonweal and that if from the seventeenth Year of his Life until he now grew old the Honourable Places by them conferred on him had prevented the Capacity of his Age and yet his Deserts had exceeded the Greatness of those Honourable Places that then they would pray That the Princes and Great ones of the City might still be like to him So all followed him except the Tribunes and their Slaves and one of the Cryers by whom ridiculously they cited him to Judgment until for very shame as not knowing what else to do they granted him unrequested a longer Day But after when he perceived that the Tribunes would not let fall the Suit he willingly withdrew from that unthankful Rome that could suffer him to undergo such Indignities and so spent the rest of his time at Linternum Concerning Lucius Scipio the younger Brother The same Tribunes proceeded more sharply with his Brother Lucius Scipio the Asiatick whose wise Conduct and Valour had subjected Greece and Macedonia to the Roman Yoke and extended their Empire over those rich Countries They propounded a Decree unto the People touching Money received of Antiochus not brought into the Common Treasury that the Senate should give Charge unto one of the Praetors to inquire and Judicially determine thereof And Matters were so carried against him that he was condemned in a Sum of Money far greater than his Ability and for non-payment his Body should have been laid up in Prison but he was freed from the Rigour of this by Gracchus the Tribune and his Estate being confiscated when there neither appeared any Sign of his being beholden to Antiochus nor there was found so much as he was condemned to pay then fell his Accusers and all whose Hands had been against him into the Indignation of the People It is observed That Cato the elder who had been his Treasurer was a Promoter of this A Man saith Sir Walter Raleigh of great but not perfect Vertue Temperate Valiant and of singular Industry Frugal of the Publick and of his own who though not to be corrupted with Bribes yet was unmerciful and unconscionable in increasing his own Wealth by such means as the Laws did permit Ambition was his Vice which being joyned with Envy troubled both himself and the whole City And some write That Fabius Maximus out of some private displeasure countenanced these Proceedings From these and other Examples it may well be noted Summary of the Reman Discords how this famous Commonweal was pestered with Faction the want of sufficient Imployment were Sparks that help'd the kindling of the Fire of them which now began to appear and first caught hold of those great Worthies to whose Valour and Conduct Rome
