10. The Common-wealth of England denyes no protection to any, that will promise truth and fidelity in their reciprocall sub∣jection: nor does it deprive any of the benefit of Law, that ingage to be Friends to the Law. Wherefore since the Common-wealth is in the place of a Mother, and every particular man is but in the place of a Son: tis not fit the Son which first rejects his Mother, should complain afterwards that He is rejected by his Mother. Away with such stupid gross•••• partialities: He which out-la•••• himself, cannot complain of an out-laws hard condition: and He that joyns not with the people in all necessary expedients to up∣hold the Law, out-laws himself. Tis double injustice for a Subject undutifully to forfeit the States favour first, and then to expostu∣late against its dis-favour: as it is double ingratitude in a Son to deny filial duty first, and then to cry out against paternall severi∣ty after. The Subject here is his own persecuter, and the Son his own true dis-inheritor: forasmuch as both with-hold that which was due absolutely, and naturally, yet have nothing with-held from them, but what was due conditionally, and secondarily.
