Excerpt from Prose Works of John Milton, Vol. 2
Sincere and real men beyond what is possible or honest to re treat from, not only turn revolters from those principles, which only could at first move them, but lay the strain of dis loyalty, and worse, on those proceedings which are the meces sary consequences of their own former actions; nor disliked by themselves, were they managed to the entire advantages Of their own faction; not considering the while that he to ward whom they boasted their new fidelity, counted them accessory; and by those statutes and laws, which they so impotently brandish against others, would have doomed them to a traitor's death for what they have done already.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book disputes the idea of the divine right of kings and argues that any ruler who abuses their power and becomes a tyrant has forfeited the right to rule. The author, a prominent figure in 17th-century English history, drew on historical examples as well as Biblical scripture to argue that it is the right and duty of the people to depose and punish a tyrant. The book was written in the midst of a tumultuous period of English history, when the country was embroiled in a civil war between supporters of the monarchy and those of Parliament, and it offered a powerful justification for the actions of those who sought to limit the power of the king. The author's ideas would go on to influence political thought for centuries to come, and his work remains an important contribution to the discourse on the nature of government and the rights of the people.
