We are apt to put a Value upon Things for their Novelty, rather then
for their Virtue: and the fame Levity holds towards Women, Friends and
Acquaintances: Nay, and Governments too; for People seldom Change for a
Better. All Civil Constitutions have their Failings, and the Unhinging,
even of the Worst of Governments, brings on an _Anarchy_, which is yet
Worse; for it lays All in Rubbish: And we have no better Security for the
Next State of Things, then we had for the Former, but still for Variety
sake, we go on Chopping and Changing our _Friends_, and our _Masters_,
as well as our _Horses_; and with the _Soldier_, out of a Sickly Levity,
like the Last Best, whatever it be.
