We invoke the true God for the Emperor. Even if he persecute us, we are bidden to pray for them that persecute us, as you can read in our books, which are not hidden, which you often get hold of. We pray for him because the Empire lies between us and the end of the world. We count the Caesars to be God's vice-regents and swear by their safety (not by their genius, as required). As for loyalty, Caesar really is more ours than yours; for it was our God who set him up. It is for his own good, that we refuse to call the Emperor God; Father of his Country is a better title. No Christian has ever made a plot against a Caesar; the famous conspirators and assassins were heathen, one and all. Piety, religion, faith are our best offering of loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fishmonger's wife may feed of a conger; but a serving-man's wife may starve for hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20145]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fishmonger's wife may feed of a conger; but a serving-man's wife may starve for hunger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20145</guid></item></channel></rss>
