330 NOTES. 
See Plut. De Superstitione, 1, where part is quoted. [16] In De Augm. 
viii. 3 the subject is treated quite differently. The remarks on the 
secret part of government are entirely omitted, and the apology to 
the king for passing over the subject in silence is transferred to the 
beginning of the book. The remainder of the chapter is taken up 
with two dissertations, the one, De Proferendis Finibus Imperii, which 
corresponds with Essay xxix. ‘Of the True Greatnesse of Kingdomes 
and Estates ;’ the other, De Justitia Universali. The former of these 
is said to have been translated into Latin by Hobbes of Malmesbury. 
[22] Virg. En. vi. 726. [33] futility: ‘facilitie’ in ed. 1605, corrected 
to ‘futilitie’ in Errata. The correction is adopted in edd. 1629, 1633. 
[Ib.] Sisyphus and Tantalus: See Hom. Od. xi. 582-600; Cic. Tusc. 
Disp. i. 5. 10; iv. 16. 35. Sisyphus was punished because he had 
betrayed the designs of the gods (Servius on Virg. AEn. vi. 616). 
Tantalus divulged the secrets of Zeus. 
P. 249. [9] Rev. iv. 6. [18-25] Transferred in the De Augm. to 
the beginning of the book. [24] The story is told of Zeno; Plut. De 
Garrulitate; Diog. Laert. vii. 24. 
P. 250. [16] Comp. Ess. lvi. p. 227: ‘For many times, the things 
deduced to judgement, may bee meum and tuum, when the reason and 
consequence thereof may trench to point of estate: I call matter of 
estate, not onely the parts of soveraigntie, but whatsoever introduceth 
any great alteration, or dangerous president; or concerneth manifestly 
any great portion of people.’ 
P. 251. [3, 4] The same in all probability as the dissertation in the 
De Augm., ‘De justitia universali’ [9] Virg. An. iv. 647. [14] This 
paragraph is omitted in the Latin. [19] Virg. Ecl. ii. 27. 
P. 252. [15] only if: i.e. if only. [24] Made by Themistocles to 
Eurybiades: Plut. Reg. et Imper. Apoph. [25] so they observe: i.e. 
provided that they observe. [31] Sabbath: ‘Sabaoth’ in ed. 1605, 
corrected in edd, 1629, 1633. This confusion between Sabaoth (‘hosts’) 
and Sabbath (‘rest’) is by no means uncommon, though in p. 110, 
1. 32, ‘Sabbath’ is printed correctly in ed, 1605. Even as late as the 
middle of the last century Dr. Johnson, in the first edition of his 
Dictionary, treated the two words as synonymous. Other examples 
are found in Spenser (F. Q. viii. 2): 
‘But thenceforth all shall rest eternally 
With him that is the God of Sabaoth hight: 
OQ! that great Sabaoth God, grant me that Sabaoth’s sight.’ 
And the second quarto of Shakespeare’s Mer. of Ven. iv. 1. 36, has 
*Sabaoth’ for ‘ Sabbath,’ which is the reading of the first quarto and of 
the folios. 
P. 253. [1] De Augm. ix. 1. [9] Rom. iv. 22. [10] Gen. xviii. 12.
