call_v the_o count_n de_fw-fr fiesque_fw-la '_o be_v conspiracy_n to_o destroy_v the_o state_n of_o genoa_n and_o the_o nearness_n of_o its_o be_v accomplish_v show_v we_o how_o much_o we_o ought_v

you_o say_v ibid._n the_o roman_n for_o fear_v of_o the_o teutones_n and_o cimbri_n who_o threaten_v their_o territory_n choose_v marius_n to_o be_v their_o general_n and_o that_o he_o and_o sylla_n

that_o the_o prolongation_n of_o caesar_n commission_n in_o gallia_n make_v he_o able_a to_o seize_v on_o rome_n itself_o and_o also_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n

to_o be_v you_o may_v have_v tell_v we_o what_o such_o of_o our_o english_a king_n who_o aim_v at_o arbitrary_a power_n get_v by_o the_o bargain_n but_o you_o be_v full_a of_o your_o story_n and_o say_v that_o olivarotto_n di_fw-fr fermo_n have_v leave_n of_o his_o fellow-citizen_n to_o enter_v the_o town_n with_o 100_o horse_n he_o put_v all_o the_o principal_a citizen_n to_o the_o sword_n

we_o take_v it_o be_v only_a to_o the_o west_n indies_n for_o nothing_o but_o to_o prove_v that_o provoke_v servant_n will_v be_v revenge_v upon_o insolent_a master_n when_o they_o have_v

of_o they_o if_o disband_v be_v not_o able_a to_o dig_v and_o to_o beg_v they_o be_v ashamed_a so_o he_o wise_o let_v it_o alone_o but_o since_o our_o author_n be_v silent_a i_o will_v crave_v leave_n
