or both are sovereigns : when it is at an end he
who prevails is thenceforward the sovereign his adherents loyalists ; and the competiter
a pretender or arch-rebel , and his adherents
rebels . In this case while the title is really doubtful
there is properly neither merit nor demerit on either
side . On both sides there is necessarily a deal of misfortune
probably much wickedness and much virtue but necessarily neither wickedness neither the one nor other .
