IV.
Neither are their vaunting whisper∣ings
to be neglected,* 1.1 by which they seek
to confirm the fearful souls of their par∣ty,
and to inveigle the ignorant, doubt∣ful
or discontented persons: for if the
glorious extolling of their powerful
friends, and the expectance of a golden
day, be suffered to win credit with the
meaner fort, the relapse cannot be small,
or the means easie to reform the error,
without a general combustion of the
State.
Notes
* 1.1
While Justice sleeps, the time serves to sow news, and raise Factions.
