No personall security to be had, in time of publick danger. [ XXXIV]
CIcero in his time laughed at the folly of those men,* 1.1Qui amissâ Republicà prisci∣nas
suas fore salvas sp••rare videntur, who seemed to conceive such a windy
hope, that their Fish-ponds, and places of Pleasure should be safe, when the
Common wealth was lost.* 1.2 And we may well mourn over the security of most men
in our times, such as look for personall safety, in the midst of publick danger; that
take more care for their trifling fardells,* 1.3 than the preservation of the ship they go
in: But let such know for certain, that if the Publick suffer either in Church or
State, no man's private; pleasure or profit can stand firm unto him; no man's, what∣soever
he be.
