_Tyranny_ and _Oppression_ never wanted either a Plea, or an Advocate
for whatever they did; for the _Majority_ of the _Lawyers_, the
_Divines_, and _All Quæstuary Professions_, will be sure to run over to
the _Stronger Side_, where _Will_ passes for _Law_, and _Rapine_ for
_Providence_. So that it is a Folly next to Madness, for a Friendless,
and an Unarmed Innocence to Expostulate with an Invincible Power. The
Case of the _Hare_ and the _Eagle_ is a Common Case in the World, where
the Weaker is a Prey to the Stronger; where a forcible Possession gives a
Title, and where the Justice of the Cause is Determin’d by the Success.
When the _Hare_ comes once to be in the gripe, ’tis too late to talk of
_Reason_ and _Equity_, when contrary to all the Rules of _Moral Justice_,
the _Conqueror_ is both _Judge_ and _Party_.
