vein_n and_o gift_n of_o write_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o deed_n such_o be_v demosthenes_n diligence_n and_o painfulness_n about_o this_o author_n that_o he_o do_v write_v out_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n the_o whole_a history_n of_o thucydides_n be_v a_o book_n full_o so_o big_a as_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v no_o less_o than_o eight_o several_a time_n a_o travail_n certes_o right_o painful_a and_o yet_o the_o pain_n very_o well_o bestow_v when_o so_o good_a fruit_n do_v follow_v thereupon_o for_o no_o doubt_n demosthenes_n by_o such_o imitation_n and_o painful_a labour_n come_v to_o that_o height_n of_o perfection_n whereof_o he_o bear_v the_o name_n that_o be_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a orator_n of_o all_o greecelande_n yea_o of_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o i_o may_v well_o say_v for_o in_o three_o or_o four_o point_n unite_v in_o he_o together_o without_o doubt_n he_o pass_v great_o all_o other_o that_o ever_o wear_v first_o he_o have_v a_o singular_a judgement_n to_o devyse_v good_a matter_n and_o to_o dispose_v the_o same_o most_o apt_o as_o time_n and_o place_n require_v again_o he_o have_v the_o stomach_n of_o a_o lion_n to_o speak_v bold_o although_o not_o to_o fight_v manful_o and_o do_v utter_v his_o meaning_n with_o such_o may_v and_o gravity_n that_o he_o appal_v great_o the_o courage_n of_o all_o other_o whatsoever_o three_o his_o utterance_n be_v so_o good_a be_v make_v so_o by_o art_n even_o against_o nature_n that_o never_o any_o have_v have_v better_a either_o since_o or_o before_o last_o he_o be_v to_o be_v praise_v for_o that_o which_o pass_v all_o other_o gift_n that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o very_a honest_a man_n a_o just_a dealer_n a_o true_a subject_n always_o to_o his_o country_n and_o therefore_o although_o in_o some_o one_o of_o these_o gift_n he_o may_v perhaps_o be_v match_v yet_o be_v there_o never_o any_o comparable_a to_o he_o for_o they_o all_o together_o and_o of_o these_o his_o do_n the_o world_n be_v so_o true_a a_o judge_n that_o i_o need_v not_o much_o to_o spend_v any_o far_a talk_n although_o some_o will_v say_v that_o tully_n be_v to_o be_v compare_v with_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n of_o the_o which_o two_o man_n if_o i_o shall_v say_v my_o mind_n flat_o there_o be_v perhaps_o that_o will_v bite_v the_o lip_n at_o it_o and_o count_v i_o fond_a in_o my_o enterprise_n and_o yet_o thus_o much_o i_o may_v bold_o say_v that_o demosthenes_n have_v more_o matter_n couch_v in_o a_o small_a room_n than_o tully_n have_v in_o a_o large_a discourse_n &_o that_o demosthenes_n writing_n be_v more_o bind_v more_o fast_o firm_a and_o more_o agreeable_a to_o our_o common_a manner_n of_o speech_n than_o tully_n oration_n be_v and_o who_o so_o speak_v now_o as_o demosthenes_n do_v i_o do_v think_v he_o shall_v be_v count_v the_o wise_a the_o more_o temperate_a and_o the_o more_o grave_a man_n a_o great_a deal_n than_o if_o he_o whole_o follow_v tully_n and_o use_v his_o large_a vein_n and_o vehement_a manner_n of_o eloquence_n beside_o this_o demosthenes_n use_v a_o plain_a familiar_a manner_n of_o writing_n and_o speak_v in_o all_o his_o action_n apply_v himself_o to_o the_o people_n nature_n and_o to_o their_o understanding_n without_o use_v of_o proheme_n to_o win_v credit_n or_o devise_v conclusion_n to_o move_v affection_n and_o to_o purchase_v favour_n after_o he_o have_v do_v his_o matter_n whereas_o tully_n with_o his_o flow_a eloquence_n seek_v to_o wrest_v the_o judge_n to_o his_o purpose_n both_o at_o the_o beginning_n in_o the_o middle_n &_o at_o the_o end_n not_o trust_v as_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o the_o goodness_n of_o his_o cause_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o modest_o it_o be_v sufferable_a in_o rome_n to_o use_v these_o practice_n of_o eloquence_n both_o in_o the_o beginning_n &_o end_v of_o their_o oration_n to_o advance_v their_o matter_n withal_o the_o same_o be_v utter_o forbid_v in_o greecelande_n upon_o pain_n of_o displeasure_n and_o be_v it_o not_o better_o &_o more_o wisdom_n to_o speak_v plain_o &_o naked_o after_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n in_o few_o word_n than_o to_o overflow_v with_o unnecessary_a and_o superfluous_a eloquence_n as_o cicero_n be_v think_v sometime_o to_o do_v but_o perhaps_o whereas_o i_o have_v be_v somewhat_o curious_a to_o follow_v demosthenes_n natural_a phrase_n it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o i_o do_v speak_v over_o bare_a english_a well_o i_o have_v rather_o follow_v his_o vein_n the_o which_o be_v to_o speak_v simple_o and_o plain_o to_o the_o common_a people_n understanding_n than_o to_o overflouryshe_v with_o superfluous_a speech_n although_o i_o may_v thereby_o be_v count_v equal_a with_o the_o best_a that_o ever_o write_v english_a for_o demosthenes_n speak_v always_o matter_n &_o have_v such_o force_n in_o his_o manner_n of_o write_v as_o no_o man_n hitherto_o have_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o express_v and_o all_o man_n have_v still_o have_v he_o in_o most_o high_a admiration_n for_o the_o same_o but_o why_o do_v i_o compare_v these_o two_o noble_a virtue_n together_o make_v the_o one_o better_a than_o the_o other_o whereas_o they_o wear_v both_o most_o excellent_a orator_n and_o chief_a ornament_n of_o either_o their_o own_o country_n in_o their_o day_n both_o of_o they_o a_o rare_a example_n of_o nature_n and_o such_o as_o none_o in_o any_o age_n have_v be_v like_o for_o excellency_n to_o either_o of_o they_o then_o what_o need_v such_o comparison_n when_o both_o be_v equal_o chief_a in_o their_o kind_n as_o quintilian_n have_v very_o well_o declare_v in_o rehearse_v their_o virtue_n several_o and_o in_o lap_v up_o his_o matter_n say_v in_o this_o wise_a that_o unto_o tully_n nothing_o can_v be_v add_v and_o from_o demosthenes_n nothing_o can_v be_v take_v away_o without_o harm_n do_v to_o either_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o to_o return_v to_o demosthenes_n i_o say_v he_o be_v to_o be_v read_v of_o young_a and_o old_a of_o learned_a and_o unlearned_a of_o wise_n and_o unwise_a for_o that_o he_o have_v in_o he_o to_o serve_v all_o man_n turn_n whatsoever_o he_o that_o love_v his_o country_n and_o desire_n to_o procure_v the_o welfare_n of_o it_o let_v he_o read_v demosthenes_n and_o he_o shall_v not_o want_v matter_n to_o do_v himself_o good_a for_o he_o that_o seek_v common_a quietness_n demosthenes_n can_v ●eache_v he_o the_o lesson_n he_o that_o will_v glad_o prevent_v evil_n to_o come_v demosthenes_n be_v for_o his_o purpose_n he_o that_o desire_v to_o serve_v his_o country_n abroad_o let_v he_o read_v demosthenes_n day_n and_o night_n for_o this_o be_v he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o make_v he_o fit_v to_o do_v any_o service_n for_o his_o country_n welfare_n for_o never_o do_v glass_n so_o true_o represent_v a_o man_n face_n as_o demosthenes_n do_v show_v the_o world_n to_o we_o and_o as_o it_o be_v then_o so_o it_o be_v now_o and_o will_v be_v so_o still_o till_o the_o consummation_n and_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v the_o devil_n never_o cease_v from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n to_o make_v division_n betwixt_o country_n and_o country_n to_o stir_v civil_a war_n to_o enboulden_a the_o commons_n against_o their_o superior_n to_o put_v evil_a thought_n into_o counsellor_n head_n to_o make_v people_n ambitious_a and_o covetous_a and_o to_o corrupt_v the_o heart_n even_o of_o the_o very_a messenger_n and_o preacher_n of_o god_n word_n continue_v his_o practice_n still_o in_o all_o place_n with_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o see_v demosthenes_n be_v so_o good_a a_o schoolmaster_n for_o man_n to_o decipher_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o minister_n for_o the_o advauncement_n of_o uprightness_n in_o all_o thing_n i_o will_v wish_v that_o all_o man_n will_v become_v his_o scholar_n yea_o if_o it_o may_v be_v i_o will_v that_o all_o youth_n wear_v first_o teach_v greek_a for_o so_o quintilian_n will_v have_v it_o and_o that_o they_o after_o some_o ripeness_n in_o the_o tongue_n and_o of_o elder_a year_n wear_v full_o acquaint_v with_o demosthenes_n to_o learn_v he_o without_o book_n that_o they_o may_v perfect_a their_o judgement_n by_o oft_o read_v so_o worthy_a a_o man_n alexander_n be_v angry_a with_o a_o schoolmaster_n of_o child_n because_o he_o do_v not_o teach_v they_o homer_n i_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o schoolmaster_n but_o i_o will_v wish_v that_o scholar_n be_v of_o ripe_a year_n and_o otherwise_o train_v before_o in_o other_o author_n wear_v teach_v demosthenes_n and_o not_o homer_n only_o once_o this_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o wise_a man_n live_a may_v learn_v of_o demosthenes_n how_o to_o benefit_n himself_o and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o his_o country_n and_o to_o maintain_v
