Again Princes receive power from their people. cThe might of a Prince consisteth in the multitude of his people. And dthe throne is supported by the Ploughman's pains. It is their subjects shoulders that bear them up; as the lower stones in the wall do those that lye aloft over them: take these supporters away, and they will lie as low as the lowest.

1The master hath as much need of his servant, as the servant hath of his Master: and 1the Master can no more be without his Servant, then the Servant can be without his Master: In like manner it is here: 2The Prince hath as much need of his people, as the people have need of their Prince: and the Prince can no more be without his people, then the people can be without their Prince.
