Englished out of the Greeke by Thomas Wylson doctor of the ciuill lawes. After these orations ended, Demosthenes lyfe is set foorth, and gathered out of Plutarch, Lucian, Suidas, and others, with a large table, declaring all the principall matters conteyned in euerye part of this booke.

so_o mighty_a as_o it_o be_v such_o be_v the_o force_n of_o virtue_n in_o a_o good_a man_n enemy_n &_o so_o great_a be_v the_o value_n of_o some_o one_o above_o thousand_o and_o further_o he_o say_v that_o whereas_o he_o do_v send_v ambassador_n to_o other_o place_n if_o the_o athenian_n do_v send_v any_o of_o they_o thither_o and_o suffer_v demosthenes_n to_o tarry_v at_o home_n he_o common_o prevail_v in_o his_o demand_n but_o if_o demosthenes_n wear_v in_o place_n he_o defeat_v still_o all_o his_o purpose_n and_o be_v evermore_o a_o trump_n in_o his_o way_n yea_o such_o a_o man_n be_v he_o quoth_v king_n philip_n that_o there_o can_v not_o be_v any_o sufficient_a monument_n erect_v to_o set_v forth_o full_o his_o great_a worthiness_n but_o to_o return_v again_o to_o king_n philip_n thus_o it_o be_v report_v that_o he_o hear_v demosthenes_n at_o a_o other_o time_n evil_o speak_v of_o by_o parmenio_n for_o that_o he_o have_v use_v very_o vehement_a word_n against_o the_o king_n in_o the_o council_n house_n at_o athens_n well_o quoth_v king_n philip_n we_o must_v allow_v demosthenes_n to_o use_v his_o word_n for_o amongst_o all_o other_o philip._n he_o never_o yet_o come_v within_o our_o book_n of_o expense_n mean_v he_o can_v never_o fasten_v penny_n of_o he_o who_o he_o do_v so_o esteem_v for_o his_o singular_a constancy_n his_o assure_a fidelity_n and_o notable_a heart_n towards_o his_o country_n that_o he_o think_v he_o to_o be_v the_o odd_a man_n for_o all_o gift_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o grecia_n thus_o worthy_o king_n philip_n report_v of_o his_o deadly_a enemy_n honour_v virtue_n where_o soever_o he_o find_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v have_v wish_v that_o the_o memory_n of_o such_o a_o king_n shall_v have_v be_v keep_v unspotted_a after_o his_o death_n or_o at_o leastwise_o not_o so_o despite_v as_o to_o have_v triumph_n make_v upon_o his_o infortunate_a end_n see_v he_o be_v not_o so_o very_a evil_n as_o he_o be_v make_v to_o be_v i_o do_v like_o well_o that_o demosthenes_n hate_v he_o deadly_a while_o he_o live_v for_o that_o he_o seek_v to_o get_v into_o his_o hand_n the_o whole_a estate_n of_o athens_n and_o all_o greceland_n beside_o magistrate_n and_o sure_o i_o do_v think_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o good_a magistrate_n that_o will_v not_o as_o deadly_a hate_n as_o he_o deep_o love_v and_o as_o soon_o make_v a_o evil_a man_n afraid_a of_o he_o as_o a_o good_a man_n to_o love_v he_o for_o by_o that_o mean_n he_o shall_v both_o do_v his_o country_n good_a service_n and_o save_v himself_o from_o great_a peril_n and_o danger_n that_o else_o may_v happen_v unto_o he_o and_o according_a as_o the_o poet_n pyndarus_n say_v he_o be_v a_o man_n among_o man_n that_o be_v friend_n to_o a_o friend_n foe_n and_o a_o lion_n to_o his_o enemy_n especial_o the_o hatred_n rise_v for_o the_o detestation_n of_o vice_n and_o the_o love_n grow_v for_o the_o advauncement_n of_o virtue_n but_o now_o that_o king_n philip_n be_v dead_a what_o do_v the_o people_n of_o athens_n forsooth_o by_o &_o by_o through_o demosthenes_n persuasion_n they_o do_v fall_v to_o arm_v themselves_o and_o join_v in_o confederacy_n with_o other_o they_o war_v upon_o king_n philip_n country_n where_o the_o theban_n give_v the_o ●resh_a onset_n upon_o a_o garrison_n of_o macedonian_n and_o slay_v they_o through_o help_n of_o

a_o god_n among_o man_n but_o demosthenes_n address_v letter_n to_o the_o nobility_n of_o persia_n demosthenes_n to_o arm_v themselves_o against_o young_a king_n alexander_n who_o demosthenes_n call_v ●ibberly_a boy_n notwithstanding_o afterwards_o when_o young_a alexander_n have_v satle_z his_o realm_n he_o march_v with_o a_o great_a power_n to_o boeotia_n and_o then_o be_v the_o athenian_n comb_n

hand_n and_o power_n eight_o of_o the_o orator_n whereof_o demosthenes_n be_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a and_o although_o demosthenes_n go_v to_o persuade_v they_o by_o the_o tale_n of_o the_o wolf_n and_o the_o sheep_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o with_o other_o reason_n allege_v amongst_o his_o apoththegme_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o deliver_v they_o yet_o if_o demades_n that_o great_a

with_o the_o city_n now_o after_o alexander_n be_v go_v credit_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o orator_n carry_v great_a favour_n but_o demosthenes_n be_v no_o body_n &_o yet_o when_o agis_n king_n of_o lacedaemon_n begin_v to_o stir_v lycurgus_n demosthenes_n then_o rouse_v himself_o a_o little_a but_o after_o when_o the_o athenians_n will_v do_v nothing_o and_o that_o agis_n be_v overthrow_v &_o his_o whole_a country_n bring_v to_o ruin_n demosthenes_n then_o sit_v still_o as_o other_o do_v about_o this_o time_n be_v that_o action_n enter_v by_o aeschines_n against_o ctesiphon_n for_o crown_v

matter_n be_v so_o famous_a as_o never_o be_v any_o public_a cause_n aswell_o for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o both_o those_o orator_n as_o for_o the_o honour_n and_o nobleness_n of_o the_o judge_n who_o will_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o demosthenes_n although_o his_o enemy_n wear_v very_o mighty_a &_o great_a friend_n to_o the_o macedonian_n but_o do_v acquit_v he_o so_o noble_o that_o aeschines_n have_v scant_o the_o five_o part_n of_o the_o ballotte_n on_o his_o side_n with_o he_o clear_v and_o therefore_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o city_n by_o and_o by_o as_o a_o banish_a

of_o his_o vehement_a and_o singular_a manner_n of_o persuasion_n he_o burst_v out_o thus_o nay_o then_o quoth_v he_o what_o will_v you_o have_v say_v my_o master_n enemy_n if_o you_o have_v hear_v
