a_o tyranny_n for_o they_o which_o have_v write_v of_o a_o princess_n perfection_n have_v set_v down_o nothing_o which_o may_v not_o well_o be_v practise_v and_o if_o a_o prince_n can_v full_o do_v

that_o vice_n alone_o be_v in_o use_n he_o than_o give_v wicked_a counsel_n and_o advice_n and_o if_o he_o will_v confess_v that_o good_a and_o virtue_n be_v in_o use_n and_o practice_v then_o will_v it_o follow_v that_o we_o must_v not_o reject_v that_o which_o be_v write_v of_o a_o princess_n perfection_n although_o a_o man_n can_v come_v to_o the_o perfectness_n thereof_o for_o always_o it_o be_v good_a and_o praisable_a to_o come_v as_o nigh_o thereunto_o as_o we_o can_v and_o touch_v that_o which_o machavell_n say_v that_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v a_o good_a man_n can_v not_o long_o

they_o do_v and_o to_o be_v wicked_a with_o they_o which_o value_n nothing_o but_o if_o machiavelli_n have_v well_o consider_v that_o goodness_n and_o virtue_n be_v always_o in_o price_n and_o

to_o be_v like_o he_o he_o will_v never_o have_v give_v this_o precept_n to_o a_o prince_n to_o accommodate_v himself_o to_o the_o vice_n which_o be_v in_o fation_n and_o use_n but_o contrary_a he_o will_v have_v teach_v he_o to_o follow_v goodness_n and_o virtue_n to_o draw_v his_o subject_n thereunto_o and_o to_o receive_v honour_n and_o good_a reputation_n in_o the_o world_n but_o in_o truth_n
