Your reason will assure you, that beside the vanity of bemoaning that which hath no remedy, you offend him whom you loved, if you hurt that person whom he loved. Remem- ber how apprehensive he was of your dangers, and how sorry for anvthing that troubled you; imagine that he sees how you afflict and hurt yourself; you will then believe, that though he looks upon it without any perturbation, for that cannot be admitted by that blessed condition wherein he is, yet he may censure you, and think you forgetful of the friendship that was between you, if you pursue not his desires, in being careful of yourself, who was so dear unto him. But he sees you not ; he knows not what you do ; well, what then ? Will you do anything that would displease him if he knew it, because he is where he doth not know it? I am sure that was never in your thoughts ; for the rules of your actions were, and must be, virtue and affection to your husband, not the consideration of his ignorance or knowledge of what you do ; that is but an accident ; neither do I think that his presence was at any time more than a circumstance, not at all necessary to your abstaining from those things which might displease him. Translate into Greek prose. Your father is called the vicegerent of heaven ; while he is good he is the vicegerent of heaven. Shall man have author- ity from the fountain of good to do evil ? No, my prince ; let mean and degenerate spirits, which want benevolence, suppose your power impaired by a disability of doing injuries. If want of power to do ill be an incapacity in a prince, with reverence be it spoken, it is an incapacity he has in common with the Deity. Let me not doubt but all pleas, which do not carry in them the mutual happiness of prince and people, will appear as absurd to your great understanding, as dis- agreeable to your noble nature. Exert yourself, O generous prince, against such sycophants, in the glorious cause of liberty ; and assume such an ambition worthy of you, to secure your fellow-creatures from slavery ; from a condition as much below that of brutes, as to act without reason is less miserable than to act against it.

There liveth he in everlasting blis, Sweet Spirit, never fearing more to die : Ne dreading harme from any foes of his, Ne fearing salvage beasts more crueltie. Whilest we here, wretches, waile his private lack, And with vaine vowes do often call him back. But live thou there, still happie, happie Spirit, And give us leave thee here thus to lament ! Not thee that doest thy heavens joy inherit, But our owne selves that here in dole are drent. Thus do we weepe and waile, and wear our eies, Mourning, in others, our owne miseries. Spenser.

But ill for him who, bettering not with time, Corrupts the strength of heaven-descended Will, And ever weaker grows through acted crime, Or seeming-genial venial fault, Recurring and suggesting still !

Indulgent parents, brethren, kindreds, tied By the natural flow of blood, alliances, And what you can imagine, is too light To weigh with name of friend : they execute At best but what a nature prompts them to ; Are often less than friends, when they remain Our kinsmen still ; but friend is never lost.
