Excerpt from Clodius and Cicero: With Other Examples and Reasonings, in Defence of Just Measures Against Faction and Obloquy, Suited to the Present Conjuncture It will ever be the Fate of those who are high, in Station or Fame, to be the Mark of Envy to some that are lower: No matter for their Incence, or Sufficiency, or Usefulness, or any superior Qualification or Talents; their Exaltation and Importance is Crime eugh, where there is other, and often the truest Reason for depressing them: Opposition to Power, is far from being a sure Proof of the Abuse of Power, as I shall soon shew; and the vilest, the most barbarous Abuses of it, are frequently popular and adored. How dear to the Turks is their pestilent Monarchy, and to good Catholicks, how sacred is the more pestilent Inquisition!
