Excerpt from The Prose Works of John Milton, Vol. 2 of 2: With a Biographical Introduction If it be asked, why we did not then attack him sooner, why we suffered him to triumph so long, and pride himself in our silence? For others I am not to answer; for myself I can boldly say, that I had neither words nor arguments long to seek for the defence of so good a cause, if I had enjoyed uch a measure of health, as would have endured the fatigue of writinge And being but weak in body, I am forced to write by piecemeal, and brea off almost eve hour, though the sub'ect be such as requires an uninter mitted study an intenseness of mind. Ut though this bodily indisposition may be a hindrance to me in setting forth the just praises of my most worthy countrymen, who have been the saviours of their native country, and whose exploits, worthy of immortality, are already famous all the war (1 over; yet I hope it will be no difficult matter for me to defend them from the insolence of this silly little scholar, and from that saucy ton us of his, at least. Nature and laws would be in an ill case, if slavery grould find what to say for itself, and liberty be mute: and if tyrants should find men to plead for them, and they that can master and vanquish tyrants, should not be able to find advocates. And it were a deplorable thin indeed, if the reason mankind is endued withal, and which 18 the gift of d, should not furnish more arguments for men's preservation, for their deliverance, and, as much as the nature of the thing will bear, for making them equal to one another, than for their 0 pression, and for their utter ruin under the domineering power of one sing e person. Let me therefore enter upon this noble cause with a cheerfulness, grounded upon this assurance, that my adversary's cause is maintained b nothing but fraud, fallacy, ignorance, and barbari whereas mine has i ht, truth, reason, the practice and the learning of e best ages of the wor d, of its side.
