idleness_n engender_v indigested_a humour_n in_o the_o politic_a as_o well_o as_o the_o natural_a body_n which_o render_v it_o infirm_a another_o maxim_n be_v that_o they_o do_v never_o employ_v their_o force_n more_o than_o in_o one_o war_n at_o one_o time_n unless_o against_o weak_a prince_n nor_o do_v they_o desire_v to_o continue_v long_o in_o arm_n against_o the_o same_o enemy_n unless_o constrain_v by_o their_o constancy_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v not_o grow_v too_o warlike_a and_o expert_a but_o leave_v they_o by_o treaty_n and_o pacification_n to_o their_o ease_n keep_v themselves_o still_o employ_v and_o consequent_o discipline_v and_o their_o sable_n from_o rust_v by_o continual_a manage_n of_o they_o they_o moreover_o never_o break_v out_o into_o a_o distant_a war_n before_o they_o have_v compose_v affair_n with_o their_o neighbour_n thus_o when_o they_o transport_v their_o army_n towards_o the_o frontier_n of_o persia_n they_o make_v peace_n with_o the_o prince_n of_o europe_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_n but_o the_o unhappy_a european_n give_v they_o more_o opportunity_n by_o their_o diffention_n to_o enlarge_v their_o empire_n than_o any_o
