for their country. If the gentlemen of these Colonies do tyran-
nize over the villages of their dominion, the best way is not
to seem to see it, that there may be no kindness between
them and their subjects; but if they offend in any thing else,
'twill be well to chastise them severely, that they may not
brag of any priviledges more than others: It will not be amiss
likewise to dispute all their pretensions to any particular ju-
risdiction ; and if at any time their nobility or title be dis-
puted, it will do well to sell them the confirmation of it at as
dear a rate as possible: and, in a word, remember that all
the good that can come from them, is already obtain'd, which
was to fix the Venetian dominion; and for the future there is
nothing but mischief to be expected from them."
