It is a perillous Weakness in a State, to be slow of Resolu∣tion in the time of War: To be irresolute in Determination is both the sign and the Ruine of a weak State. Such Affairs attend not time. Let the wise Statesman therefore abhor Do∣lay, and resolve rather to do, than advise what to say. Slow Deliberations are Symptoms ei∣ther
of a faint Courage, or weak Forces, or false Hearts.
