It is but just that those that reign by their Princes, should suffer for their Princes: For it is a safe and necessary Maxim, not to shift Heads in Government, while the Hands are in being that should answer for them.\公正的做法是既为人臣，就要为国受过，这一准则妥当且必要，在当局还有人应为此负责时，就不要让政府易主

君要臣死，臣当万死不辞：当还没有查清是谁的责任时，应当尽力保持政体稳定，这一准则妥当且必要。
理解下来是说：就算问题已经浮现，政体中有些人正受屈辱折磨，也应该以大局为重，直到最高统治者找到对策。
感觉这里的 hands 有点幕后黑手的意思，始作俑者任然任意妄为
shift heads 不知道是砍头的意思，还是人事变动。比较保守地译成 保持政体稳定
