One Story is Good till the other is Told. A Roman Story told by Dick to Tom on a Winter's Night Concerning the Ingratitude of the Romans to Julius Caesar, that famous Emperor who fell a sacrifice to the Malice of some Persons whom he had raised to great Honours and Preferment.  Ad Generum Gereris Sine Caede & Sanguine pauci descendnat Reges. Tom 
Well Dick I am told thou hast been Bred a Scholar, and 'tis like you can tell some Story to divert us, prithee be not sparing of your labour.  Dick, 
withal my heart Tom I will oblige you, but what kind of Story is it you like.  Tom. 
Nay, you are the best Judge, but if I were to choose I would have a Roman Story for I have often heard talk of those People.  Dick. 
Well then Tom, He tell you a Story that seems to run parallel to the Transactions of Forty One. 'Tis about Julius Caezar the first of the Roman Emperor's. who for his Illustrious descent, his extraordinary Virtues and personal Courage was the only Person that was capable of putting an end to Consular Government, which after the Expulsion of the Tarquins, had lasted for some hundreds of Years.  Tom. 
But pray why was he called Julius.  Dick. 
Because he was lineally descendded from Julus the Son of Æneas, that famed Trojan, who after the Destruction of Troy sailed into Italy, and whose posterity were the Founders of Rome, he was at first one of the Triumvirate, but after the Death of Pompey and Crassus, the Administration of Affairs came into his own hands, and he by an unwearyed application to business of State so gained upon the Hearts of the People, that he was by Universal consent Proclaimed Emperor,  Tom. 
But what is the Difference between King and Emperor.  Dick. 
They are different Names, but the Power in both is the same absolute and unresistable in any Case whatsoever, and to resist, either I hold to be a damning Sin, and there is on every Subject, an indispensible Obligation to obey the Monarch, whether King or Emperor as supreme Magistrate.  
Julius' Caezar after his Accession to the Imperial Dignity demeaned himself with all imaginable sweetness and Condescension; he was also a great lover of Learning and those hours he could spare from Public business he dedicated to Study which was greatly furthered by his happy Genius for he could rise our seand write at the same time; he wrote Commentaries or Memoirs of his own Life which was truly Heroic, ●s did our late Gracious but unhappy Sovereign King Charles the first▪ In a Book entuled the Protraiture of the King.  Tom. 
I believe there are other circumstances of their Lives which agree as well as that one.  Dick. 
Ay, their Lives, agree in the most Fatal circumstances; for it was the Misfortune of both to have to do with the most ungrateful Persons and to be betrayed by those in whom they reposed the greatest Trust, they were both Barbarously Murdered, one by the hands, the other by the sentence of the Senators.  Tom. 
But what was it excited those Rebels to so inhuman a proceeding.  Dick. 
'Twas either ambition of raising themselves an Affectation of Popularity; or a false notion of liberty, which they Judged inconsistent with Obedience to any one Person.  Tom. 
But who were the Chief Persons concerned in the Murder of Caezar, and wh●t Means did they use to effect it.  Dick. 
Brutus and Casius were the head of the Conspiracy, Men by nature cut out for such an Enterprise, the latter being a Crafty, Sly Inveterate Man, the former a Resolute Ambitious and daring one, but what was most remarkable was the Ingratitude of Brutus who had been raised by Caezar, to Great and Signal Honour. And was his greatest favourite in so much that he was wont frequently to call him Son in Token of his love? Nevertheless this Man was easily induced to endeavour a change of Government, and brought over to his Interest, many of the greatest Quality in Rome, whom he engaged to help to dispatch Caezar the first opportunity,  Tom, 
Methinks this Man was something like Oliver Cromwell.  DICK. 
their Principles were much the same, and tho' they were both monstrously ungrateful Brutus' Proceed were much more honourable for he had not the Impudence to Impeach his Sovereign openly, or put him to a formal Trial, but had him dispatched not by the Hand of the Common Executioner, but by Men tho' Rebels, nobly born; but after several persons of Note had entered into this Conspiracy, the opportunity to execute the design was wanting at length it was agreed, that assoon as Caesar came into the Senate-house they should fall upon him; He had several warnings of his approaching Fate, for there was a certain Man skilled in divination who told him the Ideses of March would be Fatal to him, and the Night before the Assassination, his Wife Calpburnia dream's that the Palace fell down and crushed him to death in her Arms, and at break of day a Raven was seen to flutter about the Window and make dismal Noise.  Tom. 
That looked indeed as if Heaven was careful for his preservation.  Di●k. 
Undoubtedly the Gate of Heaven is concerned in preservation of the life of every Man, but more particularly in defending the Sacred person of a King, who is the Vicegerent of God Almighty on Earth: But besides the entreaties of his Wife to put off the Meeting till another day, he found in himself a backwardness to go, and pretended an indisposition, but the Conspirators being all Assembled, sent several Messengers to tell him the House was full, and that they impatiently expected his coming, upon which he went; and in his way thither, met the Man who told him the Ideses of March would be Fatal to him, to whom he smiling Cried, well you see the Ideses of March are come. Ay! But replied the other, they are not passed yet, and when he had gone a little further, there was a Letter delivered him by an Unknown Ha●● and the Messenger desired him to Read it, saying 'twas matter of great concern, for it contained an Account of the Conspiracy, but he believing it to be a Letter of Request, put it among other Papers, and went directly to the Senate-House, where the Rebels fell upon him, he for sometime withstood the fury of them all, but seeing Brutus strike at him, he ceased to defend himself, and mildly reproached him in these words, and you too my Son, as if he had said, I neither deserved nor expected this at your Hands, there fell the Valiant Caesar after he had received above twenty Wounds.  Tom. 
But what became of Brutus after, for I long to hear whether he suffered deserved Punishment. I hope he did not Escape hanging till after he was Dead as our Oliver did.  Dick. 
After the death of Caesar, Mark Anthony made a Funeral Oration to t●e people, in which he mentioned several Glorious Acts of Caesar, and in the Middle of his Speech, lifted a Cloth which covered the Body▪ and showed his wounds all Bloody. which so enraged the People, that they lighted Torches and ran about the City with a design to destroy the Conspirators, and burn their Houses. In this Hurry Brutus and Cassius made their Escape, and having gathered an Army of Rebels they prepared to defend themselves, but were overthrown by Octavius and Mark Anthony at Philippi, where after their defeat Cassius despairing, and oppressed by his Melancholy Temper, killed himself, of which when Brutus heard he wisely followed his example. At length Civil Wars being over, Augustus who was Nephew to Julius Caesar was Proclaimed Emperor, who was not Inferior to his predecessor in any virtue, but was much more Fortunate, and under whom the Romans enjoyed a long and happy Peace.  Tom. 
I think that is not unlike the Restoration of our late Gracious Sovereign King Charles the TWO: and you know his was a peaceable Reign.  Dick. 
Why Tom thou hast a good fancy, and 'tis Pity thou wert a Scholar.  Tom. 
I wish I were innocent, but 'tis too late to begin to learn, but I fear Dick there are Persons of Disti●●ion among us who would play the part of Brutus or Cromwell if they had the Opportunity.  Dick. 
Very Probable Tom, but I am sure, that they who have the Power at present, have not the will, and they that have the will, may they never have the Power.
