It is hard for a good Historian to say on the sudden, how many several kinds of government were successively introduced among the Romans, by this insatiable desire of change: It is notorious that they had Kings, Senators, Dictators, Tribunes, Consuls, Caesars, &c. of some of which that jeer was started Vigilantissimum habuimus Proconsulē, &c. We have now had a most vigilant Proconsul, for during the whole time of his Consulship, he never slept, meanig that he was elected at noon, and discarded before night. And by name, Galba, Otho, and Vitellius, three of their noted Emperors, enjoyed their Dignity so short a space, that Apollonius wittily term'd them Theban Emperors; whereby he did insinuate, that as the Thebans were Lords of Greece but a short time; so these three continued Emperors of Rome but a few Moneths: so inconstant was the humour of the gyddi-headed Romans in those days, that whom they had but newly set up, without any other reason then a mere affectation of novelty, and desire of change, they soon after pulled down.
