Do you suppose, I pray you, that you are to make war withthe Egyptians, and with the Arabians? Will you not carefully reflectupon the Roman empire? Will you not estimate your own weakness? Hath notyour army been often beaten even by your neighboring nations, while thepower of the Romans is invincible in all parts of the habitable earth?nay, rather they seek for somewhat still beyond that; for all Euphratesis not a sufficient boundary for them on the east side, nor the Danubeon the north; and fo...r their southern limit, Libya hath been searchedover by them, as far as countries uninhabited, as is Cadiz their limiton the west; nay, indeed, they have sought for another habitable earthbeyond the ocean, and have carried their arms as far as such Britishislands as were never known before. What therefore do you pretend to?Are you richer than the Gauls, stronger than the Germans, wiser thanthe Greeks, more numerous than all men upon the habitable earth? Whatconfidence is it that elevates you to oppose the Romans?
