long_o since_o zacharias_n patriarcke_v of_o constantinople_n be_v like_a to_o be_v stake_v for_o have_v admit_v the_o new_a calendar_n and_o the_o reformation_n of_o the_o course_n of_o the_o year_n

rebellion_n can_v be_v undertake_v without_o the_o support_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o mighty_a for_o wealth_n mean_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o country_n which_o we_o will_v surprise_v and_o that_o prince_n will_v not_o budge_v to_o set_v a_o foot_n these_o plot_n and_o enterprise_n but_o by_o offer_a occasion_n of_o some_o fortress_n which_o import_v the_o assurance_n and_o consequence_n of_o the_o estate_n and_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o refuge_n to_o recover_v their_o decay_a strength_n or_o else_o that_o their_o destigne_n rely_v upon_o some_o promise_a succour_n or_o final_o upon_o the_o consideration_n that_o those_o who_o invite_v they_o to_o this_o conquest_n be_v so_o strong_a within_o themselves_o as_o they_o may_v hope_v for_o a_o honourable_a issue_n of_o their_o enterprise_n 3_o these_o be_v all_o necessary_a particularity_n but_o not_o any_o of_o they_o rest_v now_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o greek_n abase_v by_o extreme_a servitude_n and_o so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o fortress_n at_o their_o devotion_n as_o they_o can_v once_o stir_v without_o be_v discover_v and_o though_o they_o be_v dispose_v to_o undertake_v they_o have_v at_o their_o back_n so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o man_n at_o arm_n as_o at_o the_o least_o breath_n of_o a_o rebellion_n they_o will_v cut_v they_o off_o before_o they_o shall_v have_v mean_n once_o to_o peep_v forth_o of_o their_o shell_n 4_o the_o turk_n again_o make_v they_o sure_a to_o he_o so_o many_o way_n though_o all_o barbarous_a and_o uncivil_a as_o he_o scarce_o allow_v his_o subject_n leave_v to_o draw_v their_o breath_n nor_o suffer_v his_o mighty_a man_n once_o to_o hold_v up_o their_o head_n or_o foreign_a prince_n to_o be_v able_a in_o due_a time_n to_o attempt_v aught_o against_o he_o the_o end_n of_o the_o second_o book_n the_o three_o book_n chap._n i._n the_o cause_n of_o the_o fall_n and_o ruin_n of_o estate_n 1_o estate_n be_v subject_a to_o change_v 2_o some_o of_o long_a some_o of_o

cause_n 5_o the_o great_a by_o internal_a 6_o the_o mean_a more_o durable_a yet_o subject_a to_o alteration_n 1_o the_o order_n that_o nature_n observe_v in_o all_o thing_n create_v do_v plain_o enough_o teach_v we_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v bear_v pass_v and_o hasten_v towards_o death_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n which_o have_v a_o beginning_n necessary_o and_o interchangeable_o roll_n towards_o their_o end_n this_o proceed_v either_o of_o a_o ordinary_a and_o natural_a course_n or_o of_o the_o violence_n and_o alteration_n of_o compound_a body_n hence_o we_o draw_v this_o

vigorous_a and_o of_o a_o better_a composition_n than_o other_o and_o so_o be_v of_o long_a continuance_n so_o we_o see_v the_o same_o difference_n in_o kingdom_n and_o estate_n in_o as_o much_o as_o some_o preserve_v themselves_o long_o either_o because_o by_o their_o nature_n they_o be_v more_o sure_o found_v as_o for_o example_n the_o signory_n of_o noble_n be_v more_o last_a than_o the_o popular_a estate_n and_o a_o monarchal_a estate_n more_o than_o a_o commonweal_n because_o a_o monarchy_n keep_v the_o cause_n of_o corruption_n more_o aloof_o from_o she_o or_o be_v police_v with_o

because_o this_o assertion_n be_v subject_a to_o diverse_a objection_n we_o will_v divide_v it_o only_o into_o two_o proposition_n first_o then_o of_o principality_n some_o be_v small_a some_o great_a some_o indifferent_a either_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o subsistence_n or_o first_o essence_n or_o of_o the_o comparison_n which_o may_v be_v make_v between_o they_o and_o their_o neighbour_n second_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o estate_n be_v either_o inward_a or_o outward_a or_o mix_v the_o inward_a be_v to_o be_v fetch_v and_o conceive_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o negligence_n ignorance_n and_o riot_n of_o prince_n which_o give_v themselves_o over_o to_o all_o voluptuousness_n whereto_o may_v be_v add_v the_o faction_n secret_a practice_n ambition_n and_o desperate_a humour_n of_o subject_n with_o sundry_a other_o occasion_n all_o fit_a to_o bring_v estate_n to_o their_o utter_a ruin_n the_o outwad_n cause_n be_v the_o stratagem_n arm_n and_o force_v of_o the_o enemy_n the_o mix_v be_v such_o as_o participate_v of_o both_o as_o be_v the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o people_n treason_n of_o particular_a man_n put_v in_o execution_n by_o foreign_a aid_n and_o force_n since_o than_o it_o be_v so_o that_o all_o principality_n be_v subject_a to_o ruin_v by_o one_o of_o these_o three_o cause_n we_o be_v now_o to_o unfold_v what_o malady_n may_v infect_v as_o well_o great_a and_o indifferent_a as_o small_a estate_n and_o draw_v all_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o inward_a outward_a and_o mix_v cause_n now_o like_v as_o in_o natural_a thing_n natural_a corruption_n be_v more_o tolerable_a than_o violent_a so_o must_v we_o consider_v whether_o the_o alteration_n and_o impair_n of_o estate_n and_o common_a weal_n chance_v by_o reason_n of_o age_n or_o by_o the_o violence_n of_o some_o not_o forseen_v cause_n 4_o returning_z then_o to_o our_o former_a division_n and_o well_o examine_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o small_a estate_n come_v to_o their_o end_n rather_o by_o mean_n of_o outward_a cause_n bring_v in_o by_o force_n and_o violence_n then_o otherwise_o in_o as_o much_o as_o their_o power_n be_v insufficient_a to_o withstand_v

plenty_n which_o customary_o make_v prince_n to_o swell_v with_o insupportable_a pride_n by_o voluptuous_a riot_n whereto_o people_n amid_o their_o abundance_n be_v most_o prone_a or_o else_o by_o insolency_n and_o presumption_n seize_v the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o country_n when_o they_o see_v themselves_o much_o follow_v and_o reverence_v all_o fit_a enticement_n to_o dispose_v a_o hart_n

they_o hold_v the_o mean_a as_o the_o other_o the_o extreme_n for_o they_o be_v not_o so_o unfurnished_a of_o strength_n as_o that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o every_o one_o to_o invade_v and_o
