It may further bee demanded, why that Prince who came to his Kingdome by some of the Nobili∣ty, or Senate, shall more hardly keepe it, then ano∣ther, who obtained the Crowne by the suffrages and assistance of the people?

IS it because that h 1.1 those of the Nobility thinke themselues to be little inferiour, or rather equall with the Prince, whereupon hee cannot sway the Scepter as him listeth, but must bee glad in the most things to be ruled by them? Or may this ra∣ther bee the reason, for that it will bee thought the Prince will i 1.2 neuer be able sufficiently to satis∣fie those Nobles, without the hurt and wronging of others, which when hee cannot, those very men, by whose aide and assistance hee got the Crowne, will bee the first who will pull him downe againe? Or may this be the reason, for that k 1.3 if the Commons should make head against the Prince, hee could neuer bee secured of his safety, or retayning of his Kingdome, because they would oppresse him with multitude, the Nobili∣ty being but a handfull to them?
