And fo I conclude that General Pa~~w, (M '· spea~,) according as I promifed, I ~utl fill th~d; ther Ballance, in oexpreffing unto you_,t~ Incohye~e;;;;;:tion we iliall incurre if we !hall not procee , to t ts a d 1 b • wherein, that In~onvenience, which of all o~hers, an a ~~~na it felf) if there were none other, doth exceedmgly move 'm~y The Natura/irz,atiolt of the 8cotJ· Nation. may move you; is a Politton ofEftate, colletted out o(the R.~cords of Time, which is this: That wberefoever feverall ICingdomes, or Eflates, have been united in Soveraignty; If that Union, hath not been fortified, and bound in; with a further .Union 5 And namely that, which is now in ~e!Hon, ofNaturali%.ation; This hath followed; That at one time, or other, they h~ ve broken again, being upon all Occafions apt to revolt; and relapfe, to the former Separation. . , Of this Alfertion, the firfr Example, which I will fet before you, is of that memorable Vnion, which was between the R.omans, and the L4tines; which continued, from the Battaile, at the tal{e ofR.egif1a, for many years, untill the ConfuHhips ofT. Manlius, and P. De_ciuJ. At what time, there began, about this very point of Naturalization, that War, which was ca~led B ellHm Socutfe ~ . Being the mofr Bloudy, and Pernicious War, that ever the Rontan state endured. wherein .after Numbers of Battailes, and infinite Seiges, and Sutprifes ofT own~, the Romans, in the end, prevailed, and mafiered the LatineJ. But alfoon as ever they had the Honour. of the War, looking back into what Per .. ditioo.; and Confufion, they were near to have been brought, they prefently naturalized them aU. You fpeak of a Natur6flization in EloucJ ;·There was a Natttralization iri.deed .in Bloud.· Let me fer, before you, :1gain, the Example ofspa.rta, and the rcfl: of PeloponnejiJJ, their Alfociates. The State of sparta, was a Nice, and Jealous; State, in this point, of imp~rting N_atHraliza .. tion, to their Confederates, But what was the diue· of 1.t? After they had held them, in a kind of Society, and Amity, for divers years; upon the firfi occafion given,( which was no more, then the Surprize, of the Cllflle ofThehu, by certain defpe,-ate Confpirarours, in the habit of Mafquers; There enfued immediately, a generaH Revolt, and Defection, of their Aifocia~s ; which was the .R.uirie of rheir State, never afterwards to be recovered. Oflater time, let ine lead your Confideration to behold, the· like Events, iri the Khzgdo1ne of ArrAgon; which Kingdome was united with c aflile, and the reft of §pain, in the perfons ofF erdi- 1tando and IfabeUa; And fo CQntinued many years; But yet fo, .as it fiood, a Kingdome;) fevered, and divided, from the refr, of the Body~ of Spain; in priviledges ; And directly,. in this poi!Jt.of Natitra/izatio,, or Capacity ofinheritance. What came of this? Thus much; That now of frefh Memory, not pall: twelve years fince, onely upon the voice of a Condemned Man, out of the Grilte of a Prifon, towards the Street, that cried FueroJ, (which is as m~ch as Liberties, or Priviledges;) There was raifed a dangerous Rebellion, which was fuppreifed, with Difficulty,- with_ an A.rmy Royall ; And their priviledges difannu1led, a~d they Incorporated) with the refi of spain. Upoil fo fmall a Spark• notwlthfi: anding fo long continuance, were they ready to break,and feyer again. The |
