CHAP. VI. Of Perfidiousness.ROMANS.1. T. Tatius King of the Sabines.2. Ser. Sulpitius Galba.3. Cn. Domitius Aheno∣barbus.4. Q. Servilius Caepio, Cos.FORREIGNERS.1. The Carthaginians.2. Hannibal the Cartha∣ginian.LEt Perfidiousness, a close and crafty Mischief, be fetch'd out of its lurking holes. Whose most efficacious properties are to lye and deceive: the fruit it reaps from some crime committed: then certain when it holds Cruelty in bonds; bringing as much mischief to Mankinde, as Faith and Truth afford quiet and safety. Therefore let it be as much dispraised, as the other praised.2. In the reign of Romulus, Sp. Tarpeius was Gover∣nour of the Tower, whose Daughter, a Virgin, going to fetch Water for the Ceremonies, without the Walls, Tatius corrupted with Money to let in his armed Sa∣bines into the Castle, promising as a Reward what they woreupon their left hands; which were Bracelets and Rings of Gold of a considerable weight. The Sa∣bines having got into the place, when the Virgin de∣manded her reward, they killed her with the weight of their Armes; As it were performing their promise, in regard they also carried their Armes on their left hand. Let there be no blame, while impious Treason was reveng'd with a quick Punishment.0
