thy place by thy Com∣mands; and that thou mayst be the more perfect in com∣manding others, practise dai∣ly upon thy self. Remember thou art a servant to the pub∣lick weal, and therefore forget all private respects: remem∣ber thou art a Champion for a Kingdom; forget therefore all private affections, either of love or hate: he that would do his Country right, must not be too sensible of personal wrongs. He that would be remembred in the rols of honour, must it count it no dishonour to for∣get himself.
