<HEAD>One Story is Good till the other is Told. A Roman Story told by <HI>Dick</HI> to <HI>Tom</HI> on a Win|ters Night Concerning the Ingratitude of the Romans to <HI>Julius Cae&s;ar,</HI> that famous Emperor who fell a &s;acrifice to the Malice of &s;ome Per&s;ons whom he had rais'd to great Honours and Preferment.</HEAD>

<SPEAKER>Tom</SPEAKER>
<P>VVEll <HI>Dick</HI> I am told thou ha&s;t been Bred a Scholar, and 'tis like you can tell &s;ome Story to divert us, prithee be not &s;paring of your labour.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick,</SPEAKER>
<P>withal my heart <HI>Tom</HI> I will o|blige you, but what kind of Story is it you like.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>Nay, you are the be&s;t Judge, but if I were to chu&s;e I wou'd have a Roman Story for I have often heard talk of tho&s;e People.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>Well then <HI>Tom,</HI> He tell you a Sto|ry that &s;eems to run parallel to the Tran|&s;actions of <HI>Forty One.</HI> 'Tis about <HI>Julius Caezar</HI> the fir&s;t of the Roman Emperor's. who for his Illu&s;trious de&s;cent, his ex|traordinary Vertues and per&s;onal Courage was the only Per&s;on that was capable of putting an end to Con&s;ular Government, which after the Expul&s;ion of the <HI>Tarquins,</HI> had la&s;ted for &s;ome hundreds of Years.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>But pray why was he call'd <HI>Julius.</HI></P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>Becau&s;e he was lineally de&s;cend|ded from <HI>Julus</HI> the Son of <HI>&AElig;neas,</HI> that fam'd <HI>Trojan,</HI> who after the De&s;truction of Troy &s;ail'd into <HI>Italy,</HI> and who&s;e po&s;te|rity were the Founders of <HI>Rome,</HI> he was at fir&s;t one of the Triumviry, but after the Death of <HI>Pompey</HI> and <HI>Cra&s;&s;us,</HI> the Admini&s;tration of Affairs came into his own hands, and he by an unweary'd appli|cation to bu&s;ine&s;s of State &s;o gain'd up|on the Hearts of the People, that he was by Univer&s;al con&s;ent Proclaim'd Em|peror,</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>But what is the Difference be|tween King and Emperor.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>They are different Names, but the Power in both is the &s;ame ab&s;olute and unre&s;i&s;table in any Ca&s;e what&s;oever, and to re&s;i&s;t, either I hold to be a dam|ning Sin, and there is on every Subject, an indi&s;pen&s;ible Obligation to obey the
<PB REF="2">Monarch, whether King or Emperor as &s;upreme Magi&s;trate.</P>
<P><HI>Julius Caezar</HI> after his Acce&s;&s;ion to the Imperial Dignity demean'd him&s;elf with all imaginable &s;weetne&s;s and Conde&s;cen|tion; he was al&s;o a great lover of Learning and tho&s;e hours he cou'd &s;pare from Pu|blick bu&s;ine&s;s he dedicated to Study which was greatly further'd by his happy Genius for he cou'd ri&s;e our &s;eand write at the &s;ame time; he wrote Commentaries or Me|moirs of his own Life which was truly Heroick, <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">s did our late Gracious but un|happy Sovereign King <HI>Charles</HI> the fir&s;t&punc; In a Book entuled the <HI>Protraiture</HI> of the King.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>I belive there are other circum|&s;tances of their Lives which agree as well as that one.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>Aye, their Lives, agree in the mo&s;t Fatal circum&s;tances; for it was the Misfortune of both to have to do with the mo&s;t ungrateful Per&s;ons and to be be|tray'd by tho&s;e in whom they repo&s;ed the greate&s;t Tru&s;t, they were both Bar|barou&s;ly Murder'd, one by the hands, the other by the &s;entence of the Senators.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>But what was it excited tho&s;e Rebels to &s;o inhumane a proceeding.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>'Twas either ambition of rai&s;ing them&s;elves an Affectation of Popularity; or a fal&s;e notion of liberty, which they Judged incon&s;i&s;tent with Obedience to any one Per&s;on.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>But who were the Chief Per&s;ons concerned in the Murder of <HI>Caezar,</HI> and wh<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">t Means did they u&s;e to effect it.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P><HI>Brutus</HI> and <HI>Ca&s;ius</HI> were the head of the Con&s;piracy, Men by nature cut out for &s;uch an Enterprize, the latter be|ing a Crafty, Sly Inv<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="3 letters">rate Man, the for|mer a Re&s;olute Ambitious and daring one, but what was mo&s;t remarkable was the Ingratitude of <HI>Brutus</HI> who had been rais'd by <HI>Caezar,</HI> to Great and Signal Honour. And was his greate&s;t favourite in &s;o much that he was wont frequently to call him Son in Token of his love? Neverthele&s;s this Man was ea&s;ily induced to endeavour a change of Government, and brought over to his Intere&s;t, many of the greate&s;t Quality in <HI>Rome,</HI> whom he engaged to help to di&s;patch <HI>Caezar</HI> the fir&s;t oppertu|nity,</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom,</SPEAKER>
<P>Methinks this Man was &s;omething like <HI>Oliver Cromwell.</HI></P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>DICK.</SPEAKER>
<P>their Principles were much the &s;ame, and tho' they were both mon&s;trou&s;ly ungrateful <HI>Brutus</HI>'s Proceedings were much more honourable for he had not the Impudence to Impeach his Sovereign openly, or put him to a for|mal Tryal, but had him di&s;patch'd not by the Hand of the Common Executioner, but by Men tho' Rebels, nobly born; but after &s;everal per&s;ons of Note had enter'd into this Con&s;piracy, the opportunity to execute the de&s;ign was wanting at length it was agreed, that a&s;&s;oon as <HI>Cae&s;ar</HI> came into the Senat-Hou&s;e they &s;hou'd fall up|on him; He had &s;everal warnings of his approaching Fate, for there was a certain Man skill'd in divination who told him the Ides of <HI>March</HI> wou'd be Fatal to him, and the Night before the A&s;&s;a&s;&s;inati|on, his Wife <HI>Calpburnia</HI> dream's that the Palace fell down and cru&s;ht him to death in her Arms, and at break of day a Ra|ven was &s;een to flutter about the Window and make di&s;mal Noi&s;e.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>That look't indeed as if Heaven was careful for his pre&s;ervation.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Di<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">k.</SPEAKER>
<P>Undoubtedly the Gate of Hea|ven is concern'd in pre&s;ervation of the life of every Man, but more particularly in defending the Sacred per&s;on of a King, who is the Vice-gerent of God Almighty on Earth: But be&s;ides the entreaties of
<PB REF="2">his Wife to put off the Meeting till ano|ther day, he found in him&s;elf a backward|ne&s;s to go, and pretended an indi&s;po&s;ition, but the Con&s;pirators being all A&s;&s;embled, &s;ent &s;everal Me&s;&s;engers to tell him the Hou&s;e was full, and that they impatient|ly expected his coming, upon which he went; and in his way thither, met the Man who told him the Ides of <HI>March</HI> wou'd be Fatal to him, to whom he &s;milling Cry'd, well you &s;ee the Ides of <HI>March</HI> are come. Ay! But replyed the o|ther, they are not pa&s;t yet, and when he had gone a little further, there was a Let|ter delivered him by an Unknown Ha<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters"> and the Me&s;&s;enger de&s;ired him to Read it, &s;aying 'twas matter of great concern, for it contained an Account of the Con&s;pira|cy, but he believing it to be a Letter of Reque&s;t, put it among other Papers, and went directly to the Senate-Hou&s;e, where the Rebels fell upon him, he for &s;ometime with&s;tood the fury of them all, but &s;eeing <HI>Brutus</HI> &s;trike at him, he cea&s;ed to defend him&s;elf, and mildly reproached him in the&s;e words, <HI>and you too my Son,</HI> as if he had &s;aid, I neither de&s;erved nor expected this at your Hands, there fell the Valient <HI>Cae&s;ar</HI> after he had received above twenty Wounds.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>But what became of <HI>Brutus</HI> after, for I long to hear whether he &s;uffered de|&s;erved Puni&s;hment. I hope he did not E&s;cape hanging till after he was Dead as our <HI>Oliver</HI> did.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>After the death of <HI>Cae&s;ar, Mark An|thony</HI> made a Funeral Oration to t<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">e peo|ple, in which he mentioned &s;everal Glo|rious Acts of <HI>Cae&s;ar,</HI> and in the Middle of his Speech, lifted a Cloath which covered the Body&punc; and &s;hew'd his wounds all Bloody. which &s;o enrag'd the People, that they lighted Torches and ran about the Ci<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">y with a de&s;ign to de&s;troy the Con|&s;pirators, and burn their Hou&s;es. In this Hurry <HI>Brutus</HI> and <HI>Ca&s;&s;ius</HI> made their E|&s;cape, and having gathered an Army of Rebels they prepared to defend them&s;elves, but were overthrown by <HI>Octavius</HI> and <HI>Mark Anthony</HI> at <HI>Philippi,</HI> where after their defeat <HI>Ca&s;&s;ius</HI> de&s;pairing, and oppre&s;t by his Melancholly Temper, kill'd him|&s;elf, of which when <HI>Brutus</HI> heard he wi&s;e|ly followed his example. At length Civil Wars being over, <HI>Augu&s;tus</HI> who was Ne|phew to <HI>Julius Cae&s;ar</HI> was Proclaimed Emperor, who was not Inferior to his predece&s;&s;or in any vertue, but was much more Fortunate, and under whom the Romans enjoy'd a long and happy Peace.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>I think that is not unlike the Re&s;toration of our late Gracious So|vereign <HI>King Charles</HI> the II: and you know his was a peaceable Reign.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>Why <HI>Tom</HI> thou ha&s;t a good fan|cy, and 'tis Pitty thou wert a Scholar.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Tom.</SPEAKER>
<P>I wi&s;h I were innocent, but 'tis too late to begin to learn, but I fear <HI>Dick</HI> there are Per&s;ons of Di&s;ti<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters">ion among us who wou'd play the part of <HI>Brutus</HI> or <HI>Cromwel</HI> if they had the Opportunity.</P>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Dick.</SPEAKER>
<P>Very Probable <HI>Tom,</HI> but I am &s;ure, that they who have the Power at pre&s;ent, have not the will, and they that have the will, may they never have the Power.</P>
