A BRIEF SPEECH, &c. 57 



These arguments are, I hope, needless, and do 

 better in your minds than in my mouth. But this 

 give me leave to say, that whereas the example of 

 Cyrus was used, who sought his supply from those 

 upon whom he had bestowed his benefits ; we must 

 always remember, that there are as well benefits of 

 the sceptre as benefits of the hand, as well of go 

 vernment as of liberality. These, I am sure, we will 

 acknowledge to have come &quot; plena manu&quot; amongst 

 us all, and all those whom we represent ; and there 

 fore it is every man s head in this case that must be 

 his counsellor, and every man s heart his orator ; and 

 to those inward powers more forcible than any 

 man s speech, I leave it, and wish it may go to the 

 question.
