The happiness of good Government. [ 208]
THere was a law amongst the Persians, that when their Governour was
dead,* 1.1 there should be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, a lawlessness for five dayes after, that e∣very
man should do what he list;* 1.2 now for those five dayes there was such killing, &
robbing, and such destroying one another, that by the time the five dayes were o∣ver,
they were glad of government again: So that any kind of government is better
then no government; but happy is that People, bona si sua norint, that live under a
good government, where Iustice flows from the Supream as head, and is conveyed
by subordinate Ministers unto the People.
