And becausewhen life and property are at stake men are not utterly reckless, onperceiving themselves to be weak they grow cautious, and though cursingthe tyrant in their hearts, are content to endure him, and to wait untilsome one of higher station than they, comes forward to redress theirwrongs. So that should we ever find these weaklings attempting anything, we may commend their courage rather than their prudence.
We see, however, that the great majority of conspirators have beenpersons of po...sition and the familiars of their prince, and that theirplots have been as often the consequence of excessive indulgence asof excessive injury; as when Perennius conspired against Commodus, Plautianus against Severus, and Sejanus against Tiberius; all of whomhad been raised by their masters to such wealth, honours, and dignities, that nothing seemed wanting to their authority save the imperial name. That they might not lack this also, they fell to conspiring againsttheir prince; but in every instance their conspiracies had the end whichtheir ingratitude deserved.
