conceive_v such_o a_o opinion_n of_o they_o as_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o they_o err_v when_o they_o err_v in_o deed_n for_o wise_a man_n seldom_o err_v wherefore_o sith_o so_o many_o evil_n do_v rise_v of_o the_o evil_a choice_n and_o so_o many_o good_a thing_n of_o the_o good_a choice_n the_o prince_n therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n can_v not_o be_v to_o choice_n in_o his_o choice_n and_o so_o let_v this_o suffice_v for_o the_o first_o advertisement_n second_o the_o prince_n to_o the_o advertisement_n intent_n he_o may_v have_v a_o plentiful_a choice_n of_o man_n meet_v to_o serve_v his_o turn_n have_v need_v not_o only_o to_o consider_v of_o such_o as_o keep_v in_o his_o court_n and_o be_v nigh_o about_o he_o but_o also_o to_o seek_v to_o be_v inform_v of_o so_o many_o as_o he_o can_v beside_o give_v charge_n and_o commission_n to_o his_o lieutenant_n and_o chief_a officer_n abroad_o in_o every_o sheer_a to_o learn_v by_o diligent_a inquiry_n which_o man_n in_o their_o limit_n be_v know_v to_o be_v most_o sufficient_a to_o such_o purpose_n and_o to_o send_v up_o calendar_n of_o their_o name_n unto_o the_o prince_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o may_v send_v for_o such_o as_o he_o shall_v think_v good_a pretend_v only_o to_o know_v they_o &_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o they_o himself_o appoint_v some_o reasonable_a allowance_n to_o bear_v their_o charge_n in_o journey_v to_o &_o fro_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o prince_n shall_v have_v choice_n of_o many_o amongst_o who_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o find_v out_o some_o one_o excellent_a man_n than_o amongst_o a_o few_o and_o beside_o that_o he_o shall_v win_v great_a love_n and_o fame_n of_o his_o people_n and_o encourage_v all_o estate_n to_o endeavour_n themselves_o to_o get_v wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o to_o follow_v such_o virtuous_a exercise_n as_o they_o may_v deserve_v thereby_o to_o be_v name_v and_o number_v amongst_o those_o that_o be_v think_v meet_v for_o such_o purpose_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n also_o the_o prince_n shall_v know_v what_o able_a man_n he_o have_v within_o his_o realm_n of_o what_o skill_n they_o be_v and_o wherein_o they_o be_v most_o meet_a to_o serve_v he_o at_o any_o time_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v need_n to_o employ_v they_o and_o though_o he_o shall_v seldom_o have_v need_n to_o choose_v above_o one_o or_o two_o to_o serve_v he_o as_o counsellor_n yet_o he_o must_v show_v himself_o courteous_a towards_o all_o the_o rest_n &_o praise_v their_o well_o do_v exhort_v they_o to_o continue_v still_o therein_o and_o therewith_o put_v they_o in_o good_a hope_n of_o preferment_n in_o time_n to_o come_v reward_v some_o with_o office_n some_o with_o fee_n and_o some_o with_o money_n and_o some_o he_o may_v retain_v in_o his_o court_n and_o discharge_v the_o rest_n use_v himself_o in_o such_o sort_n towards_o they_o all_o as_o they_o all_o may_v have_v cause_n to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o content_v three_o if_o the_o prince_n be_v a_o lord_n of_o divers_a country_n and_o advertisement_n nation_n i_o will_v not_o wish_n he_o to_o be_v altogether_o wed_v unto_o his_o own_o native_a countryman_n but_o rather_o to_o choose_v some_o of_o every_o one_o of_o those_o country_n to_o be_v of_o his_o counsel_n for_o the_o prince_n be_v a_o public_a person_n and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v without_o private_a affection_n and_o respect_n or_o partiality_n yea_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o natural_a father_n to_o all_o his_o true_a subject_n of_o what_o country_n soever_o they_o be_v and_o stepfather_n to_o none_o to_o who_o counsel_n if_o any_o of_o the_o subject_n be_v wrong_v or_o grieve_v they_o have_v only_o to_o repair_v for_o redress_n but_o if_o none_o of_o their_o own_o countryman_n be_v of_o the_o counsel_n how_o or_o when_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v they_o be_v hard_a for_o who_o know_v their_o custom_n their_o humour_n desire_n commodity_n discommodity_n gain_n and_o loss_n so_o well_o as_o they_o or_o who_o will_v be_v so_o ready_a to_o hear_v their_o cause_n suit_n and_o complaint_n as_o their_o own_o countryman_n which_o be_v force_v by_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o love_v they_o and_o to_o tender_v they_o beside_o this_o if_o the_o prince_n shall_v have_v no_o counsellor_n but_o of_o his_o own_o countryman_n all_o the_o other_o country_n will_v think_v that_o either_o he_o do_v not_o esteem_v they_o or_o count_v they_o as_o slave_n or_o at_o the_o least_o do_v not_o trust_v they_o whereof_o the_o first_o will_v breed_v hatred_n in_o they_o towards_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o counsel_n the_o second_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o seek_v liberty_n and_o to_o make_v conspiracy_n and_o rebellion_n and_o the_o third_o will_v make_v they_o to_o become_v unfaithful_a disobedient_a and_o obstinate_a subject_n wherefore_o these_o thing_n be_v well_o weigh_v and_o consider_v i_o believe_v the_o prince_n shall_v find_v it_o much_o better_a to_o choose_v his_o counsellor_n out_o of_o all_o such_o dominion_n as_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o than_o out_o of_o one_o or_o two_o only_a fourrh_o the_o prince_n may_v not_o be_v to_o hasty_a but_o take_v good_a advertisement_n deliberation_n in_o make_v his_o choice_n of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v name_v unto_o he_o resolve_v upon_o none_o of_o they_o all_o until_o he_o have_v thorough_o try_v they_o as_o well_o by_o report_n of_o the_o counttye_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v as_o also_o by_o his_o own_o examination_n and_o first_o as_o touch_v the_o report_n of_o the_o country_n it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o prince_n as_o well_o to_o avoid_v the_o favourable_a as_o slanderous_a tale_n that_o may_v be_v tell_v he_o to_o give_v every_o man_n leave_v to_o accuse_v the_o person_n who_o he_o mind_v to_o make_v his_o counsellor_n subpenatalionis_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o accuser_n shall_v suffer_v the_o pain_n or_o penalty_n of_o the_o crime_n whereof_o he_o accuse_v the_o party_n if_o he_o can_v not_o due_o prove_v it_o and_o the_o prince_n on_o the_o other_o side_n must_v take_v such_o order_n as_o the_o defendant_n may_v not_o hinder_v or_o stop_v by_o his_o authority_n power_n or_o friendship_n any_o accusation_n that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o he_o and_o sith_o all_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o affect_n the_o blinder_n of_o all_o truth_n i_o will_v wish_n the_o prince_n in_o these_o cause_n before_o due_a try_v all_o have_v to_o give_v no_o credit_n to_o the_o report_n of_o any_o man_n be_v he_o noble_a or_o unnoble_a spiritual_a or_o temporal_a by_o this_o mean_v the_o prince_n shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v none_o but_o good_a man_n to_o be_v of_o his_o counsel_n for_o the_o evil_a will_v not_o be_v over_o hasty_a in_o seek_v advancement_n by_o such_o kind_n of_o try_v all_o true_o the_o roman_n in_o old_a time_n do_v very_o straight_o execute_v this_o kind_n of_o discipline_n in_o choose_v their_o magistrate_n whereby_o as_o their_o common_a wealth_n great_o then_o flourish_v so_o afterward_o for_o lack_v thereof_o it_o quick_o decay_a and_o come_v to_o naught_o now_o as_o touch_v the_o prince_n examination_n to_o be_v make_v by_o himself_o i_o say_v by_o himself_o and_o not_o by_o his_o deputy_n he_o have_v to_o examine_v what_o sufficientcie_n be_v in_o the_o person_n to_o be_v elect_v by_o consider_v and_o measure_v every_o part_n of_o he_o both_o soul_n &_o body_n to_o which_o end_n my_o author_n have_v make_v and_o describe_v unto_o he_o heretofore_o two_o apt_a measure_n to_o measure_v withal_o the_o one_o of_o fifteen_o part_n &_o the_o other_o of_o five_o that_o of_o fifteen_o part_n serve_v to_o measure_v the_o soul_n and_o the_o other_o of_o five_o part_n to_o measure_v the_o body_n to_o which_o measure_v though_o very_o few_o be_v to_o he_o find_v that_o be_v answerable_a in_o every_o condition_n yet_o let_v those_o that_o be_v more_o answerable_a be_v always_o choose_v before_o those_o that_o be_v less_o answerable_a and_o let_v those_o that_o have_v more_o gift_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o less_o of_o the_o body_n be_v prefer_v before_o those_o that_o have_v more_o of_o the_o body_n and_o less_o of_o the_o mind_n and_o if_o any_o two_o that_o stand_v to_o be_v elect_v be_v equal_a in_o both_o gift_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o of_o like_a birth_n power_n and_o authority_n or_o if_o the_o prince_n perhaps_o favour_v the_o one_o more_o than_o the_o other_o upon_o some_o affection_n or_o for_o some_o service_n do_v than_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o such_o person_n be_v choose_v before_o the_o other_o wherefore_o sith_o such_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v when_o comparison_n be_v make_v i_o think_v my_o author_n shall_v have_v do_v very_o orderly_a to_o have_v add_v also_o unto_o his_o two_o measure_n before_o
