Why should it not be so again?
The most High has separated men into nations, because He wills, that they should lead their own lives and shape them for their salvation and His honor; but not to give the stronger nation the right to torture and oppress another.

Suppose your father went out to walk and a Spanish grandee should jump on his shoulders and make him taste whip and spur, as if he were a horse.

It would be bad for the Castilian.

Now substitute Holland for Herr Matanesse, and Spain for the grandee, and you will know what I mean.

There is nothing left for us to do, except cast off the oppressor.
