by_o war_n or_o by_o any_o other_o disaster_n but_o by_o justice_n and_o sentence_n as_o delinquent_n and_o criminal_n all_o three_o famous_a writer_n insomuch_o as_o the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o

three_o if_o that_o be_v anything_o to_o the_o matter_n fit_a example_n to_o quench_v any_o man_n ambition_n of_o rise_v again_o for_o that_o they_o be_v every_o one_o of_o they_o restore_v with_o

how_o they_o do_v bear_v their_o fortune_n and_o principal_o how_o they_o do_v employ_v their_o time_n be_v banish_v and_o disable_v for_o public_a business_n to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o may_v learn_v by_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v as_o well_o my_o counselor_n as_o my_o comforter_n whereupon_o i_o happen_v to_o note_v how_o diverse_o their_o fortune_n wrought_v upon_o they_o especial_o in_o that_o point_n at_o which_o i_o do_v most_o aim_v which_o be_v the_o employ_v of_o their_o time_n and_o pen_n in_o cicero_n i_o see_v that_o during_o his_o banishment_n which_o be_v almost_o two_o year_n he_o be_v so_o soften_v and_o deject_v as_o he_o write_v nothing_o but_o a_o few_o womanish_a epistle_n and_o yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n he_o have_v least_o reason_n of_o the_o three_o to_o be_v discourage_v for_o that_o although_o it_o be_v judge_v and_o judge_v by_o the_o high_a kind_n of_o judgement_n in_o form_n of_o a_o statute_n or_o law_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v banish_v and_o his_o whole_a estate_n confiscate_v and_o seize_v and_o his_o house_n pull_v down_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v high_o penal_a for_o any_o man_n to_o propound_v his_o repeal_n yet_o his_o case_n even_o then_o have_v no_o great_a blot_n of_o ignominy_n but_o it_o be_v think_v but_o a_o tempest_n of_o popularity_n which_o overthrow_v he_o demosthenes_n contrariwise_o though_o his_o case_n be_v foul_a be_v condemn_v for_o bribery_n and_o not_o simple_a bribery_n but_o bribery_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o treason_n and_o disloyalty_n yet_o nevertheless_o take_v so_o little_a knowledge_n of_o his_o fortune_n as_o during_o his_o banishment_n he_o do_v much_o busy_a himself_o and_o intermeddle_v with_o matter_n of_o state_n and_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o counsel_n the_o state_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v still_o at_o the_o helm_n by_o letter_n as_o appear_v by_o some_o epistle_n of_o he_o which_o be_v extant_a seneca_n indeed_o who_o be_v condemn_v for_o many_o corruption_n and_o crime_n and_o banish_v into_o a_o solitary_a island_n keep_v a_o mean_a and_o though_o his_o pen_n do_v not_o freeze_v yet_o he_o abstain_v from_o intrude_a into_o matter_n of_o
