The title of the offender, and the number of his followers, make no difference in the offence, unless it be to aggravate it.

The only difference is, great robbers punish little ones, to keep them in their obedience; but the great ones are rewarded with laurels and triumphs, because they are too big for the weak hands of justice in this world, and have the power in their own possession, which should punish offenders.

What is my remedy against a robber, that so broke into my house?
Appeal to the law for justice.

But perhaps justice is denied, or I am crippled and cannot stir, robbed and have not the means to do it.
If God has taken away all means of seeking remedy, there is nothing left but patience.

But my son, when able, may seek the relief of the law, which I am denied: he or his son may renew his appeal, till he recover his right.
