of the Imperial race, which were the onely Nobles of
the State; nor durst any one wear Jewels but the Emperor,
the Empress, and their Eldest Son; notwithstanding

of several Colours; they used no coyn, but all their
Traffick was by exchange of several Commodities.

in their minds, fancies or imaginations. But if they cannot endure to be subjects, they may
create worlds of their own and govern themselves as they please.
