their_o general_n every_o year_n and_o yet_o they_o always_o get_v the_o victory_n as_o in_o the_o first_o decad_n of_o livy_n may_v be_v see_v the_o second_o that_o the_o venetian_n man_n of_o so_o

these_o reason_n it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o give_v a_o answer_n and_o first_o for_o that_o of_o the_o roman_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o this_o happen_v through_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o neighbour_a nation_n with_o who_o they_o have_v war_n second_o and_o perhaps_o better_a that_o although_o in_o the_o roman_a army_n they_o send_v yearly_o a_o new_a consul_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o other_o in_o the_o army_n who_o have_v be_v general_n themselves_o before_o a_o thing_n which_o at_o this_o day_n be_v not_o possible_a see_v every_o one_o think_v scorn_n to_o go_v a_o

gate_n of_o rome_n &_o be_v such_o war_n as_o be_v finish_v i_o say_v not_o in_o one_o year_n but_o oftentimes_o in_o one_o day_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o have_v war_n far_o off_o and_o that_o last_v long_o they_o than_o suffer_v their_o general_n to_o continue_v many_o year_n and_o grow_v old_a in_o their_o place_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n have_v war_n with_o hannibal_n in_o italy_n and_o with_o asdrubal_n in_o spain_n they_o very_o often_o change_v their_o general_n in_o italy_n but_o cneius_n pompeius_n that_o be_v their_o general_n in_o

in_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o venice_n one_o reason_n there_o be_v and_o in_o rome_n there_o be_v which_o make_v the_o matter_n the_o less_o dangerous_a and_o it_o be_v because_o that_o
