# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 14

SECT.XIV.
Of the most effectual Means of detecting Licentiousness and Faction.
WHERE Faction is founded on false Principles, it is easily detected, because it is generally avowed. It implies no moral Depravity, but only an Error of the Mind: And he who holds this Error, is not naturally ashamed of it, because he holds it as a Truth.
But where Faction is founded on Licentiousness and Want of Principle, it ​cannot be so easily detected: For as it implies a moral Depravity, it will naturally attempt to veil itself; and to this End, will assume the Garb and Appearance of Freedom.
The favourite Subject of its Clamours will be the Misconduct of Those who govern. And in a Country where Liberty is justly ranked among the greatest national Blessings, the most plausible Pretence of Faction will be, "to load the executive Power with the Charge of Despotism."
In every free State there will frequently occur certain Subjects and Measures, "of doubtful Expediency." These, in the wide Field of political Contention, may justly be stiled "the debateable Grounds." On these doubtful Points, even the Friends of Liberty may sometimes differ: Therefore the Patrons of Faction will naturally lay hold on these, as the most successful and effectual Means of State Distraction: Because Thus they may hope to mingle ​with, and to pass for the Friends of Freedom.
When therefore such doubtful Measures become the Subject of political Contention; it may be difficult to determine, from the mere Circumstance of Opinion, who are the Friends of Liberty, and who the Abettors of Faction: Because, in these Points, there may be an incidental Difference of Opinion, even among the Friends of Liberty themselves.
A much surer Determination may be formed on the Manner and Conduct of the dissenting Party: For the Friend of Liberty, having no selfish Views, will be rational, honest, equitable, in the Prosecution of his Wishes. He who is actuated by the Spirit of Licentiousness and Faction, will be irrational, dishonest, iniquitous.
Let us, then, endeavour to particularize these distinctive Marks or Characters: Thus shall we best be able to determine, "who are the Friends of Liberty, and who the Abettors of Licentiousness and Faction."
# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 15

SECT.XV.
Of the Characteristic Marks of Liberty.
THESE which follow, are perhaps some of the clearest Characteristics of the Spirit of Liberty: By which the Friends of public Freedom, though dissentient from any Measure of Government, will be evidently distinguished.—Each of these Marks may seem decisive, even when separately viewed: But to do Justice to this Argument, it will be necessary to consider and weigh them in Union; because as they in Part depend on each other, they will illustrate each other, and at once receive and give additional Confirmation.
1. "The Friend of Liberty will endeavour to preserve that just Balance of divided Power, established by Law, for the Security of Freedom."—Because the public Welfare is the leading Object of his Wishes; and can only be effectually ​obtained by the Preservation of such a Balance.
This will be the general Aim and End of the true Friend of Liberty: This End will be prosecuted by suitable Means; and its Reality will be confirmed and illustrated by these which follow.
2. "He will be attached to Measures, without respecting Men."—Because the Passions and Interests of Individuals ought to yield to the public Weal.
3. "He will be generally self-consistent, both in Speech and Action."—Because, the public Welfare being the uniform Object of his Pursuits, This can only be steadily and effectually promoted, on clear and uniform Principles.
4. "He will not attempt to inflame an ignorant Populace against their legal Governors."—Because an ignorant Populace are, in all Cases, unqualify'd to decide on the Measures of Government.
5. "His Debates, either in the Senate, or from the Press, will be void of ​undistinguishing and injurious Imputations on any whole Bodies of Men, who may differ from him in Opinion."—Because, Truth and the public Welfare being his desired End, he will clearly see, that others have the same Right of approving, as Himself hath of disapproving, the Measures of Government.
6. "He will not industriously and indiscriminately defame the private Characters of the Individuals who differ from him in Opinion."—Because Calumny thrown on Individuals is a still more aggravated Crime, than That which is promiscuously aimed at Bodies of Men.
# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 17

SECT.XVII.
A second Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
THE Patrons of Faction would be attached to Men, to the Neglect of Measures."
If the same Men, when formerly in Power, should have obstinately adhered to each other in every public Debate and Opinion; should have execrated every Man, as the Enemy of his Country, who dissented even in the slightest Article of political Belief:—
If on any sudden Change in the Fountain of Power, a more generous System of Government should have taken Place:—If the Sovereign had aimed to unite all honest Men of all Parties, and had invited them to co-operate for the Welfare of their Country:—
If these Men, determined still to engross all public Power, should threaten the Sovereign (as they had effectually ​threatened his royal Predecessor) with a general Resignation:—
If their Leaders should be taken at their Word, and unexpectedly stripped of all Power and Influence:—
If on This, the Clamours of their attendant Populace should arise; and for the Sake of the public Tranquillity, Overtures should be made by the Prince to the Discontented:—If the same Principle should still predominate, and Demands in Favour of Men should be the leading Object of Accommodation:—
If these Demands should be not only irrational in their Kind, but exorbitant and oppressive in their Degree; requiring a general Restoration of All the Discontented, and a general Dismission of all who were in Power, tho' of known Fidelity to their King and Country:—
If such should be the Conduct of any Set of Men, they would stand evidently convicted of Licentiousness and Faction.

THOUGHTS
ON
CIVIL LIBERTY, &c.
SECTION I.
TheDesign.
THERE are two Causes, essentially distinct, though often interwoven, by which a free State may perish. These are, external and internal Violence: Invasions from Abroad, or Dissentions at Home: The Rage of foreign War, or domestic Faction.
After a dangerous and exhausting War, Victory hath at length restored Peace to our bleeding Country. But in vain the ​Sword of War is sheathed, if in Time of Peace the Poignard of Licentiousness and Faction is drawn, and madly level'd by many of our Countrymen, at the Breads of their Fellow-Subjects.
To prevent the fatal Consequences of this deluded or deluding Spirit, is the Purpose of this Essay: In which the Writer will endeavour to trace the present State of Things to its general Foundations: By pointing out the real Basis and genuine Characteristics of true Liberty; by unmasquing the Pretences, and laying open the secret Sources and distinctive Marks of Licentiousness and Faction.
As the political Principles here laid down and inforced, will be found strictly connected with Religion and Morals; no Apology will be made for endeavouring to establish the public Happiness of Mankind on the solid Basis of Virtue, which is the End of Religion itself.—In this Point the Writer confirms himself on the Authority of an excellent and learned Prelate, whose ​political Researches were of like Tendency.
"As the Sum of human Happiness is supposed to consist in the Goods of Mind, Body, and Fortune, I would fain make my Studies of some Use to Mankind, with Regard to each of these three Particulars; and hope it will not be thought faulty or indecent in any Man, of what Profession soever, to offer his Mite towards improving the Manners (I will add, the Religion) Health, and Prosperity of his Fellow-Creatures"
# Thoughts on civil liberty, on licentiousness, and faction/Section 16

SECT.XVI.
Of the first characteristic Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
THOUGH we have seen, that the Patrons of Faction will attempt to mix and confound themselves with the ​Friends of Liberty; yet, in Spite of their Pretences, they will be detected by the following characteristic Marks, which will stand in clear Opposition to Those of Freedom.
These, like the former, may seem sufficiently decisive, even when separately viewed: But to do Justice to this Argument, it will in the same Manner be necessary to consider and weigh them in Union: Because, as they in Part depend on each other, they will illustrate each other, and at once receive and give additional Confirmation.
1. "The Leaders of Faction (being naturally of the higher Ranks) would aim to establish an aristocratic Power; and inslave both Prince and People to their own Avarice and Ambition."
Thus, if any Set of Men had in former Times been in Power; and while in Power, had oppressed embarrassed ​Majesty; had threatened the Prince with a general Resignation; had thus intimidated him to their own Purposes; had by these Means usurped the legal Prerogatives of the Crown; and apply'd them rather to the Support of their own Influence, than to the public Welfare:—
If the legal Privileges of the People had fared no better in their Hands:—If These, too, had been swallowed up, in the great Gulph of aristocratic Power:—If the Members of the lower House, while they seemed to be the free Representatives of the People, had been in Truth, a great Part of them, no more than the commissioned Deputies of their respective Chiefs, whose Sentiments they declared, and whose Interests they pursued:—
If such a Set of Men, as soon as they had lost their Influence, should now rail at the Privileges of the Crown, as the Engines of Despotism, though they had been formerly allowed by the Wisdom of the State, as the occasional Securities of Freedom:—
​If they should now absurdly magnify and exalt the Privileges of the lower House, beyond the Limits prescribed by a free Constitution:—If their Pretence should be the Vindication of the People's Rights; while their real Motive was "the Restoration of their own exorbitant Power, founded on an expected Majority of their own Dependents:"—
If this Conduct was pursued by any Set of Men, they would stand convicted of a clear Mark of Licentiousness and Faction.
Such would be their main End or Purpose: And this End would be pursued by suitable Means: These Means, considered in Union, would still farther confirm and illustrate the End they aimed at: And these Means would be such as follow.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Brown, Stephen

The ODNB discounts the connection with Edward I, making this Stephen Brown bishop of Ross, Munster, and dying after 1420.
​BROWN, STEPHEN (fl. 1340?), theologian, a native of Aberdeen, was a doctor of theology and a Carmelite monk. He is mentioned as one of the twelve scholars of special reputation in Scotland whom Edward I is said to have invited to Oxford; and ‘certain collections of sermons, theological treatises, expositions, and letters are attributed to him. Brown's identity is, however, extremely doubtful; and the very date at which he is said to have flourished is hardly compatible with the facts related of his life. He has apparently been confounded with another Stephen Brown who was apppointed to the see of Ross, in the province of Munster, by a papal provision dated 22 April 1399 (C. de Villiers, Bibliotheca Carmelitana, ii. 767), and who, ‘having made the requisite declarations and renounced all clauses in in the pope’s bull which were prejudicial to the rights of the crown, was restored to his temporalities on May 6,1402‘ (H. Cotton, Fasti Eccles. Hibern. i. 352, 2nd ed. 1851). This confusion of the two persons has, in fact, been made by the historian of the Carmelite order (l.c.); and, to add to the difficulty, Bale describes Brown as bishop of Ross in ​Scotland, and Tanner, by an error easily accounted for, makes him bishop of Rochester ('Roffensis'). Since, however, the bishop of the Irish see is an historical personage, of whom even the armorial bearings are preserved (Cotton, l.c.), it is perhaps most probable that his earlier namesake is purely fictitious.
