A62183	The opinion of Padre Paolo of the Order of the Servites, consultor of state given to the Lords the Inquisitors of state, in what manner the republick of Venice ought to govern themselves both at home and abroad, to have perpetual dominion.; Opinione come debba governarsi internamente ed esternamente la Repubblica di Venezia.

they_o himself_o alone_o he_o may_v then_o unite_v with_o the_o republic_n upon_o condition_n to_o have_v the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o spoil_n but_o if_o the_o emperor_n shall_v as_o former_o come_v
