practical conclusion is that as Rebellion is an
offence which in particular occasions conjunctions
it is impossible to by any severities to for to
prevent a large proportion of the people from embarking

at least as easy to prevent a man from embarking in as
in any other of equal profit, Rebellion an offence
which in the greater part of those who embark in
it is commonly an offence act of conscience, Treason
in all who ever embark in it an offence against conscience,
the treatment of given by the law to the two offences ought to
be conformable according to this difference in their respective
natures.

is that of enemies: and as little by little it has
nearly grown up to a maxim to do as little no more harm
as possible to enemies than what is necessary in order for the purpose
