The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
116
I
came
not
here,
said
she,
to
hear
Fortune
flattered,
but
to
hear
the
Cause
decided
between
Fortune
and
the
Duke;
neither
came
I
hither
to
speak
Rhetorically
and
Eloquently,
but
to
propound
the
case
plainly
and
truly;
and
I'le
have
you
know,
that
the
Duke,
whose
Cause
we
argue,
was
and
is
my
Foster-son;
for
I
Honesty
bred
him
from
his
Childhood,
and
made
a
perpetual
friendship
betwixt
him
and
Gratitude,
Charity
and
Generosity;
and
put
him
to
School
to
Prudence,
who
taught
him
Wisdom,
and
informed
him
in
the
Rules
of
Temperance,
Patience,
Justice,
and
the
like;
then
I
put
him
into
the
University
of
Honour,
where
he
learned
all
Honourable
Qualities,
Arts,
and
Sciences;
afterward
I
sent
him
to
travel
through
the
World
of
Actions,
and
made
Observation
his
Governor;
and
in
those
his
travels,
he
contracted
a
friendship
with
Experience;
all
which,
made
him
fit
for
Heavens
Blessings,
and
Fortunes
Favours:
But
she
hating
all
those
that
have
merit
and
desert,
became
his
inveterate
Enemy,
doing
him
all
the
mischief
she
could,
until
the
God
of
Justice
opposed
Fortune's
Malice,
and
pull'd
him
out
of
those
ruines
she
had
cast
upon
him:
For
this
God's
Favourites
were
the
Dukes
Champions;
wherefore
to
be
an
Enemy
to
him,
were
to
be
an
Enemy
to
the
God
of
Justice:
In
short,
the
true
cause
of
Fortunes
Malice
to
this
Duke
is,
that
he
would
never
flatter
her;
for
I
Honesty,
did
command
him
not
to
do
it,
or
else
he
would
be
forced
to
follow
all
her
inconstant
ways,
and
obey
all
her
unjust
commands,
which
would
cause
a
great
reproach
to
him:
but,
on
the
other
side,
Prudence
advised
him
not
to
despise
Fortune's
favours,
for
that
would
be
an
obstrustion
and
hinderance
to
his
worth
and
merit;
and
He
to
obey
both
our
advice
and
counsels,
did
neither
flatter
nor
despise
Her;
but
was
always
humble
and
respectful
to
her
so
far
as
Honour,
Honesty
and
Conscience
would
permit:
all
which
I
refer
to
Truth's
Judgment,
and
expect
her
final
Sentence.
