set_v it_o be_v wondrous_a that_o be_v report_v of_o alexander_n the_o great_a how_o with_o a_o army_n of_o thirty_o thousand_o macedonian_n only_a he_o overthrow_v darius_n in_o three_o sundry_a

one_o in_o the_o three_o a_o million_o which_o be_v better_a than_o thirty_o to_o one._n he_o conquer_v all_o darius_n empire_n persia_n media_n parthia_n armenia_n babylonia_n egypt_n palestina_n syria_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o asia_n and_o europe_n that_o be_v then_o inhabit_v but_o these_o conquest_n quick_o vanish_v away_o for_o he_o die_v very_o young_a and_o leave_v not_o any_o valiant_a successor_n like_a unto_o himself_o behind_o he_o whereupon_o titus_n livius_n move_v this_o question_n whether_o if_o alexander_n the_o great_a have_v war_v in_o his_o time_n with_o the_o roman_n he_o may_v easy_o have_v subdue_v they_o as_o he_o do_v darius_n he_o answer_v negative_o and_o give_v a_o reason_n for_o his_o negative_a alexander_n be_v a_o valiant_a king_n and_o a_o very_a brave_a and_o very_a notable_a good_a soldier_n but_o he_o be_v but_o one_o man_n and_o when_o he_o deal_v with_o darius_n he_o meddle_v but_o with_o one_o captain_n whereas_o if_o he_o have_v encounter_v with_o the_o roman_n he_o shall_v have_v make_v trial_n not_o of_o one_o but_o of_o many_o general_n the_o one_o after_o the_o other_o as_o of_o valerius_n cervinus_fw-la martius_n

not_o have_v so_o good_a counsel_n give_v he_o as_o those_o man_n have_v who_o be_v direct_v in_o their_o action_n by_o a_o grave_n and_o wise_a senate_n tit._n livius_n conclude_v his_o speech_n in_o this_o manner_n the_o macedonian_n have_v but_o one_o alexander_n and_o the_o roman_n have_v many_o captain_n which_o be_v nothing_o inferior_a unto_o he_o every_o one_o of_o which_o live_v and_o die_v without_o any_o great_a loss_n or_o danger_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o rome_n but_o whenas_o alexander_n die_v the_o state_n and_o honour_n of_o his_o monarchy_n perish_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o speech_n be_v verify_v and_o the_o experience_n thereof_o see_v in_o the_o war_n hannibal_n have_v against_o the_o roman_n for_o hannibal_n be_v such_o a_o captain_n as_o you_o have_v

end_n he_o be_v defeat_v by_o claudius_n nero_n and_o fabius_n maximus_n and_o utter_o overthrow_v by_o that_o great_a scipio_n who_o be_v surname_v the_o african_n by_o which_o as_o he_o may_v so_o you_o may_v perceive_v that_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o meddle_v with_o a_o multitude_n of_o people_n because_o the_o death_n of_o a_o few_o b●getteth_v daily_o a_o number_n more_o and_o he_o that_o have_v subdue_v they_o have_v not_o present_o conquer_v all_o nay_o the_o long_a he_o war_v with_o they_o the_o hard_a it_o shall_v be_v to_o prevail_v against_o they_o for_o continuance_n of_o they_o will_v make_v they_o more_o hearty_a and_o valiant_a and_o their_o captain_n more_o expert_a and_o cunning_a as_o experience_n have_v verify_v both_o in_o france_n and_o flanders_n where_o the_o people_n bearing_z arm_n against_o their_o right_a or_o pretend_a sovereign_n have_v more_o and_o better_a captain_n than_o they_o but_o how_o then_o will_v some_o man_n say_v to_o i_o shall_v
