people
overlaid
with taxes
should
ever
become
valiant
and
martial.
It is true
that taxes
levied by
consent of
the estate
do abate
men’s
courage
less: as
it hath
been seen
notably in
the
excises of
the Low
Countries;
and, in
some
degree, in
the
subsidies
of
England.
For you
must note
that we
speak now
of the
heart and
not of the
purse. So
that
although
the same
tribute
and tax,
laid by
consent or
by
imposing,
be all one
