To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And whenever any people, without some visible designation from God Himself, appoint a king over them, they have the same right to pull him down as they had to set him up at first. And cer- tainly it is a more Godlike action to depose a tyrant than to set one up ; and there appears much more of God in the people when they depose an unjust prince than in a king that oppresses an innocent people. ... So that there is but little reason for that wicked and foolish opinion that kings, who commonly ar...e the worst of men, should be so high in God's account as that He should have put the world under them, to be at their beck and be governed according to their humour ; and that for their sakes alone He should have reduced all mankind, whom He made after His own image, into the same condition as brutes. " The conclusion of Milton's Defensio is not more remarkable for its eloquence than it is for its closing paragraph. Ad- dressing his countrymen in an exhortation that reminds one of the speeches of Pericles to the Athenians, he proceeds : — Book-Fires of the Restoration, i 2 I " God has graciously delivered you, the first of nations, from the two greatest miseries of this life, and most pernicious to virtue, tyranny, and superstition ; He has endued you with greatness of mind to be the first of mankind, who, after having conquered their own king, and having had him delivered into their hands, have not scrupled to condemn him judicially, and pursuant to that sentence of condemnation to put him to death.
