Book 4 — PREFACE.

Reading edition

P. v. [p. xxi.[2]] Clarendon. We might give instances ... of those points ... which have brought the prince, sometimes, under the disadvantageous suspicion of being inclined to the love of arbitrary power.—Swift. What king doth not love, and endeavour at it?

[Footnote: 2 The references in square brackets apply to the recent Oxford edition of Clarendon's "Rebellion" (6 vols., cr. 8vo, 1888). The prefaces can only be referred to by the page, but throughout the body of the work the paragraphs are separately numbered for each book. [T. S.]]

P, vi. [p. xxii.] Clarendon. The people may not always be restrained from attempting by force to do themselves right, though they ought not.—Swift. They ought!
