their_o dismission_n that_o they_o may_v not_o stay_v and_o be_v partaker_n in_o the_o ruin_n of_o it_o now_o my_o reason_n why_o the_o king_n will_v please_v to_o grant_v this_o after_o the_o through_o discuss_v of_o it_o be_v two_o first_o because_o all_o great_a prince_n have_v ever_o make_v up_o matter_n with_o their_o subject_n upon_o such_o contest_v without_o come_v to_o extremity_n the_o two_o great_a and_o most_o valiant_a of_o our_o prince_n be_v edward_n the_o first_o and_o his_o grandchild_n edward_n the_o three_o these_o have_v very_o great_a demand_n make_v they_o by_o

they_o be_v bring_v to_o extremity_n there_o be_v a_o memorable_a example_n in_o the_o greek_a story_n of_o theopompus_n king_n of_o sparta_n who_o subject_n find_v the_o government_n in_o disorder_n for_o want_n of_o some_o person_n that_o may_v be_v a_o check_n upon_o the_o great_a power_n of_o the_o king_n propose_v to_o he_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o ephore_n officer_n who_o make_v that_o city_n so_o great_a and_o famous_a afterward_o the_o king_n find_v by_o their_o reason_n which_o be_v unanswerable_a as_o i_o think_v we_o now_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a government_n of_o sparta_n be_v near_o its_o ruin_n without_o such_o a_o cure_n and_o consider_v that_o he_o have_v more_o to_o lose_v in_o that_o disorder_n than_o other_o free_o grant_v their_o desire_n for_o which_o be_v

which_o bring_v on_o my_o second_o reason_n for_o which_o i_o believe_v the_o king_n will_v grant_v these_o thing_n because_o he_o can_v any_o way_n mend_v himself_o nor_o his_o condition_n if_o he_o
