+to forget, that more Princes have been destroyed by their Guards 
+than by their People; and that even at the time when the Rule 
+was Quod Principi placuit Lex esto, the Armies and Pratorian 
+Bands which were the Instruments of that unruly Power, were 
+frequently the means made use of to destroy them who had it. 
+There will ever be this difference between God and his Vice- 
+gerents, that God is still above the Instruments he useth, and 
+out of the danger of receiving hurt from them; but Princes 
+can never lodge Power in any hands, which may not at some 
+time turn it back upon them; for tho' it is possible enough for 
+a King to have power to satisfy his Ambition; yet no Kingdom 
+hath Money enough to satisfie the avarice of under-Work- 
+men, who learn from that Prince who will exact more than 
+belongeth to him, to expect from him much more than they 
+deserve, and growing angry upon the first disappointment, 
+they are the Devils which grow terrible to the Conjurers 
+themselves who brought them up, and can't send them down 
+again. And besides that there can be no lasting Radical 
+Security, but where the Governed are satisfied with the 
+Governours, it must be a Dominion very unpleasant to a Prince 
+of an elevated Mind, to impose an abject and sordid servility, 
+instead of receiving the willing Sacrifice of Duty and Obedience. 
+The bravest Princes in all times, who were uncapable of any 
+other kind of fear, have fear'd to grieve their own People; such 
+a fear is a glory, and in this sense ^tis an infamy not to be 
+a Coward: So that the mistaken Heroes who are void of this 
+generous kind of fear, need no other aggravation to compleat 
+their ill Characters.
