Chapter
LXI.—Monarchy.
“But if any one of those present, being able
to instruct the ignorance of men, shrink from it, thinking only of his
own ease, let him expect to hear this sentence: ‘O wicked
and slothful servant, thou oughtest to have given my money to the
exchangers, and I at my coming should have got my own. Cast out
the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.’1022
And with good reason;
‘for,’ says He, ‘it is thine, O man, to prove my
words, as silver and money are proved among the
exchangers.’1023
| 1023 Probably from an
apocryphal Gospel. | Therefore
the multitude of the faithful ought to obey some one, that they may
live in harmony. For that which tends to the government of one
person, in the form of monarchy, enables the subjects to enjoy peace by
means of good order; but in case of all, through desire of ruling,
being unwilling to submit to one only, they must altogether fall by
reason of division.
