The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
102
'Tis
true,
replied
the
Empress:
but
although
it
is
a
peaceable
and
obedient
world,
yet
the
Government
thereof
is
rather
a
trouble,
then
a
pleasure;
for
order
cannot
be
without
industry,
contrivance,
and
direction:
besides,
the
Magnificent
state,
that
great
Princes
keep
or
ought
to
keep,
is
troublesome.
Then
by
your
Majestie's
discourse,
said
the
Duchess,
I
perceive
that
the
greatest
happiness
in
all
the
Worlds
consist
in
Moderation:
No
doubt
of
it,
replied
the
Empress;
and
after
these
two
souls
had
visited
all
the
several
places,
Congregations
and
Assemblies
both
in
Religion
and
State,
the
several
Courts
of
Judicature
and
the
like,
in
several
Nations,
the
Empress
said,
That
of
all
the
Monarchs
of
the
several
parts
of
the
World,
she
had
observed
the
Grand-Seignior
was
the
greatest;
for
his
word
was
a
Law,
and
his
power
absolute.
But
the
Duchess
pray'd
the
Empress
to
pardon
her
that
she
was
of
another
mind;
for,
said
she,
he
cannot
alter
Mahomets
Laws
and
Religion;
so
that
the
Law
and
Church
do
govern
the
Emperor,
and
not
the
Emperor
them.
But,
replied
the
Empress,
he
has
power
in
some
particulars;
as
for
example,
To
place
and
displace
Subjects
in
their
particular
Governments
of
Church
and
State;
and
having
that,
he
has
the
Command
both
over
Church
and
State,
and
none
dares
oppose
him.
