whereas_o we_o be_v only_o careful_a to_o seek_v the_o occasion_n to_o serve_v ourselves_o if_o any_o of_o our_o shepherdess_n have_v sometime_o straggle_v that_o sheep_n from_o her_o flock_n which_o she_o love_v best_a you_o shall_v see_v all_o our_o shepherd_n with_o care_n and_o earnestness_n seek_v to_o recover_v again_o that_o which_o she_o lose_v they_o inquire_v with_o diligence_n they_o tell_v to_o those_o who_o they_o meet_v all_o the_o beauty_n of_o that_o pretty_a creature_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v know_v if_o they_o have_v not_o see_v it_o they_o describe_v its_o whiteness_n its_o mark_n the_o flower_n &_o the_o ribbon_n which_o be_v tie_v to_o its_o horn_n and_o forget_v nothing_o which_o may_v serve_v to_o their_o design_n and_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o they_o find_v it_o they_o return_v with_o as_o much_o joy_n as_o your_o consul_n when_o they_o have_v gain_v a_o battle_n so_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o ardent_o love_v to_o serve_v not_o only_o our_o friend_n but_o all_o those_o that_o have_v need_n of_o it_o as_o for_o rome_n without_o doubt_n it_o be_v not_o so_o there_o all_o the_o world_n rejoice_v at_o another_o misfortune_n those_o who_o the_o prince_n do_v not_o behold_v with_o a_o please_a eye_n be_v forsake_v by_o those_o who_o they_o have_v most_o oblige_v what_o virtue_n soever_o they_o have_v &_o those_o on_o the_o

it_o do_v not_o go_v in_o this_o strain_n in_o our_o campaniaes_n we_o see_v nothing_o above_o we_o but_o the_o heaven_n we_o have_v neither_o prince_n nor_o favourite_n to_o fear_n or_o follow_v we_o live_v with_o equality_n we_o love_v those_o that_o love_v we_o and_o hate_v none_o for_o the_o rest_n i_o have_v always_o hear_v say_v that_o the_o shepherd_n be_v the_o image_n of_o sovereign_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o govern_v the_o people_n as_o we_o govern_v our_o flock_n and_o that_o the_o sceptre_n and_o the_o crook_n aught_o to_o have_v much_o resemblance_n nevertheless_o after_o

flock_n with_o tenderness_n we_o have_v no_o other_o care_n than_o to_o make_v they_o happy_a we_o choose_v they_o the_o sweet_a pasture_n the_o clear_a water_n we_o give_v they_o a_o courageous_a and_o faithful_a keeper_n which_o be_v our_o dog_n and_o we_o defend_v they_o ourselves_o with_o the_o hazard_n of_o our_o life_n when_o the_o wolf_n do_v assault_v they_o we_o take_v care_v not_o only_o to_o nourish_v and_o keep_v they_o but_o to_o hinder_v they_o likewise_o both_o from_o the_o extreme_a cold_a and_o the_o extreme_a heat_n in_o winter_n we_o leave_v they_o sometime_o in_o the_o fold_n when_o the_o frost_n have_v glaze_v all_o the_o pasture_n and_o in_o summer_n when_o the_o ardour_n of_o the_o sun_n scorch_v they_o we_o seek_v such_o shade_n as_o may_v defend_v they_o from_o all_o inconvenience_n when_o they_o be_v sick_a we_o get_v such_o remedy_n as_o be_v proper_a for_o their_o malady_n and_o when_o they_o be_v healthful_a we_o adorn_v they_o with_o ribbon_n and_o flower_n it_o be_v not_o thus_o with_o many_o prince_n who_o ought_v to_o be_v pastor_n they_o will_v not_o love_v their_o flock_n nor_o care_n to_o be_v belove_v by_o they_o provide_v they_o be_v fear_v they_o make_v use_v of_o the_o sheephoke_n rather_o to_o affright_v than_o to_o assemble_v or_o defend_v they_o in_o lieu_n of_o choose_v the_o pasture_n and_o water_n for_o they_o they_o make_v their_o flock_n seve_v their_o need_n and_o their_o magnificence_n instead_o of_o keep_v they_o as_o we_o do_v reverse_v the_o order_n and_o rule_v it_o be_v the_o flock_n that_o must_v keep_v the_o sheperd_n whereas_o i_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v their_o part_n to_o preserve_v they_o from_o all_o harm_n it_o be_v they_o who_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o evil_n every_o day_n unto_o they_o when_o they_o be_v sick_a they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o seek_v remedy_n for_o they_o that_o they_o augment_v their_o trouble_n by_o their_o tyranny_n and_o when_o they_o be_v sound_n they_o do_v not_o use_v to_o adorn_v they_o but_o rather_o strip_v they_o even_o of_o their_o natural_a ornament_n we_o endeavour_v our_o flock_n shall_v be_v fat_a &_o they_o will_v have_v they_o lean_a &_o feeble_a in_o fine_a shepherds_z not_o content_a to_o take_v off_o their_o fleece_n wherewith_o they_o after_o make_v their_o rich_a robe_n they_o tear_v they_o from_o their_o

of_o those_o excellent_a artisan_n of_o who_o they_o make_v so_o much_o esteem_v at_o rome_n ha_o shepherd_n if_o we_o have_v such_o pastor_n among_o we_o we_o will_v banish_v they_o from_o our_o meadow_n we_o shall_v esteem_v they_o worse_o than_o the_o wolf_n which_o be_v the_o declare_v enemy_n of_o our_o sheep_n and_o we_o will_v degrade_v they_o from_o that_o honourable_a employment_n

than_o to_o have_v a_o king_n that_o can_v not_o be_v a_o shepherd_n i_o know_v you_o will_v tell_v i_o that_o we_o have_v now_o get_v a_o prince_n who_o sweetness_n clemency_n and_o goodness_n
