sufficient_o secure_v government_n in_o as_o much_o as_o that_o stand_v or_o fall_v according_a to_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o multitude_n and_o whatsoever_o conscience_n make_v the_o generality_n

of_o man_n to_o build_v those_o fear_n upon_o a_o false_a religion_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o the_o absurdity_n of_o jeroboam_n calf_n make_v many_o israelite_n turn_v subject_n to_o

as_o there_o be_v vicissitude_n in_o the_o government_n so_o there_o may_v happen_v the_o same_o also_o in_o the_o temper_n of_o a_o nation_n if_o this_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v where_o will_v be_v their_o religion_n and_o then_o let_v every_o one_o judge_n whether_o the_o arcana_fw-la imperii_fw-la and_o religionis_fw-la will_v not_o fall_v together_o they_o have_v begin_v to_o totter_v already_o for_o mahomet_n have_v promise_v to_o come_v and_o visit_v his_o follower_n and_o translate_v they_o to_o paradise_n after_o a_o thousand_o year_n this_o be_v expire_v many_o of_o the_o

and_o betray_v the_o civil_a power_n hence_o machiavelli_n himself_o in_o his_o animadversion_n upon_o livy_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o weakness_n of_o italy_n which_o be_v once_o so_o
