There are fewer difficulties in holding hereditary states,
and those long accustomed to the family of their prince,

powers to maintain himself in his state, unless he be
deprived of it by some extraordinary and excessive force;
and if he should be so deprived of it, whenever anything
sinister happens to the usurper, he will regain it.
