_Et quicunque tuum violavit vulnere corpus, Morte luat merita_----[21] [Footnote 1: No. 32 in the reprint.
[T.S.]]
[Footnote 2: To this number the writer of "The Political State of Great Britain" made a pretty tart reply.
In the issue for April, 1711, pp. 315-320 he says: "One of the Tory writers, shall I call him? or rather libellers--one who presumptuously sets up for an Examiner--who, in order, as he fondly expects, to make his court to some men in power, with equal insolence and malice, makes it his weekly business to slander the moderate party; who, without the least provocation, brandishes his virulent pen against the best men ... instances in the murders of Caesar, Henry III. and Henry IV. of France, and of the Duke of Buckingham; and having extenuated the last, 'from the motives Felton is said to have had,' he concludes," etc. The writer further goes on to say: "As to the imputation of villanous assassinations, which the Examiner charges so home on the French nation, I am heartily sorry he has given them so fair an opportunity to retort the unfair and unjust argument from particulars to generals.
For, without mentioning Felton, whose crime this writer has endeavoured _to extenuate_, no foreign records can afford a greater number of murders, parricides, and, to use the Examiner's expression, solid villanies, than our English history."
