Nor was this all the publick Matters, in which this Nation of
Solunarians took wrong Measures, for about this time, the
Misunderstandings between the Southern and Northern Men began again,
and the Solunarians made several Laws, as they call'd them, to secure
themselves against the Dangers they pretended might accrue from the
new Measures the Nolunarians had taken; but so unhappily were they
blinded by the strife among themselves, and by-set by Opinion and
Interest, that every Law they made, or so much as attempted to make,
was really to the Advantage, and to the Interest of the Northern-Men,
and to their own loss; so Ignorantly and Weak-headed was these High
Solunarian Church-Men in the true Interest of their Country, led by
their implacable Malice at Crolianism, which as is before noted, was
the Establisht Religion of that Country.

But as this Matter was but Transacting when I took the other Remarks,
and that I did not obtain a full Understanding of it, 'till my second
Voyage, I refer it to a more full Relation of my farther Travels that
way, when I shall not fail to give a clear State of the Debate of the
two Kingdoms, in which the Southern Men had the least Reason, and the
worst Success that ever they had in any Affair of that Nature for
many Years before.

It was always my Opinion in Affairs on this side the Moon, that tho'
sometimes a foolish Bolt may hit the Point, and a random Shot kill
the Enemy, yet that generally Discretion and Prudence of Mannagement,
had the Advantage, and met with a proportion'd Success, find things
were, or were not happy, in their Conclusion as they were, more or
less wisely Contriv'd and Directed.
