but_o give_v reputation_n to_o falsehood_n and_o corruption_n and_o maintain_v the_o public_a by_o politic_a evil_n and_o the_o base_a prostitution_n of_o religion_n i_o shall_v not_o upon_o machiavel_n word_n recommend_v dissimulation_n and_o cruelty_n for_o cardinal_n virtue_n and_o as_o the_o best_a supporter_n of_o authority_n for_o a_o prince_n ought_v to_o refuse_v a_o kingdom_n and_o retire_v to_o privacy_n rather_o than_o reign_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o mankind_n but_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o mutual_a sympathy_n as_o between_o the_o head_n and_o member_n so_o between_o a_o prince_n and_o his_o subject_n and_o the_o complication_n of_o their_o interest_n and_o that_o their_o happiness_n and_o misery_n proceed_v from_o each_o other_o mutual_o it_o can_v be_v presume_v that_o a_o prince_n of_o approve_a wisdom_n shall_v so_o mistake_v or_o divide_v the_o interest_n as_o to_o precipitate_v they_o into_o ruin_n only_o to_o undo_v himself_o by_o the_o rebound_v but_o

be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o no_o ancient_n or_o hereditary_a right_n be_v dispose_v of_o but_o the_o conqueror_n new_a acquisition_n for_o it_o be_v affirm_v by_o most_o lawyer_n that_o no_o king_n in_o a_o monarchy_n that_o be_v by_o the_o ancient_a custom_n and_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o realm_n mere_o successive_a either_o to_o the_o heir_n male_a or_o heir_n general_a can_v any_o way_n dispose_v of_o his_o kingdom_n in_o prejudice_n of_o the_o next_o heir_n in_o blood_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n no_o not_o though_o the_o party_n interest_v shall_v commit_v treason_n or_o be_v exclude_v by_o any_o act_n of_o the_o state_n or_o parliament_n that_o treason_n can_v avoid_v a_o lawful_a succession_n in_o blood_n we_o have_v a_o example_n in_o lovis_n the_o 12_o who_o be_v in_o
