then morall, which may, or may not be. To come to the businesse therefore in hand when two men design the same thing, suppose the same commodious seat, if one be possessor of it, and the planter there may have such a desire of it, being furious, and wicked, as not to be contented without it, such was the case of Ahab to Naboths vineyard; but yet this Passi••n of his was not so violent as by sinister meanes, and the destruction of Naboth, he would get it, that was an act of malice be∣yond his, of Jezabell, as you may read 1 Kings 21. and yet he as wicked a man as almost ever was. Lo that al∣though men may like, and approve, what another hath; yet the violence of few mens affections runs to such a height in malice, as to do mischiefe in so high a nature, for their content, as to destroy a man. I know to my instance of Ahab it may be objected, that he lived in a civill State, in which were Lawes, and Ahab durst not act against them; but in these Cases men suppose no coercive power, but their own will and force to Govern. To this I answer, that first the title of Occupancy is a most sacred and just title, and gives dominion to the pos∣sessor, such as all men, in all Ages, have reverenced; and although there is no coercive nor punishing power, for such injuries as are done in that kind, but Conscience; yet that is enough to keep men in awe, as I shall shew you anon. And Ahab, being King over Israel, had no other awe; and therefore there is seldome such violent desires of anothers good as doth produce such horrid effects. What I have said of Hopes, may be applyed to Feares; Feares urge men to a thousand desperate acti∣ons; and, certainly, if men were nothing but Beasts, without reason, they could not be secured from feares, without either destruction of other men, or subduing
