&_o deficiente_fw-la virtute_fw-la a_o three_o cause_n i_o will_v allege_v myself_o and_o it_o be_v that_o all_o love_n be_v found_v upon_o some_o interest_n either_o good_a or_o bad_a and_o see_v

the_o one_o be_v some_o terrible_a mischief_n the_o other_o be_v the_o person_n who_o have_v power_n to_o do_v the_o mischief_n as_o saint_n thomas_n say_v and_o because_o our_o purpose_n be_v not_o in_o this_o place_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o first_o object_n but_o only_o of_o the_o second_o as_o speak_v of_o a_o prince_n i_o say_v that_o he_o may_v be_v consider_v in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v power_n to_o hurt_v or_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v will_n to_o hurt_v if_o we_o consider_v he_o in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o have_v will_n to_o hurt_v in_o this_o manner_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o make_v himself_o be_v fear_v but_o leave_v the_o subject_n to_o fear_v he_o of_o themselves_o so_o our_o lord_n god_n will_v be_v fear_v and_o not_o be_v fear_v so_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o philippian_n sai_z cum_fw-la metu_fw-la &_o tremore_fw-la vestram_fw-la
salutem_fw-la operamini_fw-la see_v here_o saint_n paul_n will_v have_v we_o to_o fear_v not_o of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o god_n have_v not_o a_o will_v we_o shall_v be_v save_v for_o deus_fw-la

therefore_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n he_o say_v fear_v not_o saint_n paul_n say_v we_o must_v fear_v isaiah_n say_v we_o must_v not_o fear_v therefore_o isaiah_n mean_v that_o we_o must_v not_o fear_v god_n will_n and_o saint_n paul_n mean_v that_o we_o must_v fear_v our_o own_o work_n so_o a_o prince_n ought_v not_o to_o carry_v himself_o in_o such_o manner_n that_o there_o be_v fear_n of_o his_o will_n because_o his_o will_n shall_v always_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o subject_n but_o that_o there_o be_v fear_n in_o the_o subject_n of_o their_o own_o

that_o his_o person_n may_v be_v fear_v because_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o punish_v must_v have_v as_o saint_n thomas_n say_v such_o eminent_a authority_n as_o can_v hardly_o be_v resist_v for_o if_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v resist_v it_o will_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o fear_n and_o therefore_o oftentimes_o though_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o mischief_n from_o one_o in_o eminent_a
