a dominion, or ruler's

On no one can the aspersion fall, unless he runs under it.

can any security
be afforded.

§ Virtues no Security

10 or 1.
Between this dominion
and Monarchy,
the connection is intimate.
Those who are for
this dominion can
not be for Monarchy:
those who are for
Monarchy can not
but be for this dominion.
Those who are for
both can not but be for
Monarchy ultimately
unlimited.
Whence, after your
experience, can a man
be for Monarchy but
for these advantages
at people's expence
which nothing but
Monarchy can give?
