Guarding

It seems insipid enough to say, Keep Have a guard
for your roads and for your towns. It may would seem
equally insipid any where out of England to add,
and let them be a of that sort of men who are
fittest for the business. In any other country any child
can tell if you want to know who those are, any
child can tell you: but in the sight of England [this is not
the only point in which ] the wisdom, or rather the
common sense, of the children of men is foolishness

Some people In London of all places in the
world you will find people striving to persuade themselves
that if their lives and their properties were
guarded to any purpose, their liberties would be
destroyed at an end in danger . I wonder which of their liberties what liberty it is they
are so much afraid for? the liberty of robbery or the liberty
of being robbed?

It is not of having the keeping on foot the army
on foot that they are afraid of : it is the turning it to
any use that they are accustomed to and acknowledge the necessity of: it is the suffering the army turning it to its
proper use to be of any use. But if they will not suffer them-
-selves
