the_o election_n of_o the_o senate_n be_v by_o suffrage_n of_o the_o people_n though_o for_o life_n be_v not_o altogether_o so_o unequal_a but_o the_o hereditary_a right_n of_o king_n but_o for_o the_o agrarian_a have_v ruin_v she_o athens_n and_o rome_n be_v unequal_a as_o to_o their_o agrarian_n that_o of_o athens_n be_v infirm_a and_o that_o of_o rome_n none_o at_o all_o for_o if_o it_o

which_o they_o hold_v in_o the_o occupation_n of_o tenant_n and_o servant_n whereupon_o the_o remedy_n be_v too_o late_o and_o too_o vehement_o apply_v that_o commonwealth_n be_v ruin_v these_o also_o be_v unequal_a in_o their_o rotation_n but_o in_o a_o contrary_a manner_n athens_n in_o regard_n that_o the_o senate_n choose_v at_o once_o by_o lot_n not_o by_o suffrage_n and_o change_v every_o
