the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n the_o beginning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o neither_o the_o father_n be_v cause_n of_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o father_n and_o son_n cause_n of_o the_o holy_a

but_o the_o beginning_n of_o it_o be_v afterward_o the_o siege_n of_o saguntum_n and_o hannibal_n pass_v over_o the_o river_n hiber_n so_o you_o see_v the_o beginning_n be_v not_o at_o the_o same_o

that_o the_o power_n of_o a_o few_o can_v consist_v in_o any_o number_n better_o than_o in_o three_o the_o four_o discourse_n the_o commonwealth_n of_o rome_n leave_v the_o government_n of_o one_o and_o pass_v by_o the_o number_n of_o two_o where_o it_o stay_v a_o while_n under_o marius_n and_o sylla_n settle_v at_o last_o in_o the_o number_n of_o three_o the_o first_o time_n under_o caesar_n crassus_n and_o pompey_n the_o second_o time_n under_o anthony_n lepidus_n and_o augustus_n which_o how_o much_o better_a it_o be_v then_o to_o have_v stay_v in_o two_o every_o one_o may_v know_v that_o will_v but_o consider_v either_o philosophical_o or_o theological_o or_o political_o what_o great_a force_n there_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o three_o for_o the_o conservation_n and_o union_n of_o thing_n indeed_o aristotle_n have_v no_o better_a way_n to_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o materia_fw-la prima_fw-la than_o this_o see_v there_o be_v a_o form_n and_o a_o privation_n which_o be_v two_o it_o be_v never_o possible_a they_o shall_v be_v unite_v together_o but_o in_o a_o three_o in_o which_o and_o by_o which_o they_o may_v be_v conjoin_v also_o the_o school_n of_o theophrastus_n content_v not_o itself_o to_o deliver_v for_o principle_n radical_a moisture_n and_o natural_a heat_n know_v that_o two_o alone_o be_v destructive_a but_o he_o add_v a_o three_o that_o be_v salt_n and_o cold_a and_o dry_a to_o the_o end_n that_o with_o cold_a he_o may_v associate_v radical_a moisture_n and_o with_o the_o dry_a natural_a heat_n and_o consequent_o make_v a_o perfect_a union_n of_o the_o three_o that_o be_v salt_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n it_o be_v therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o divine_v also_o make_v a_o trinity_n in_o the_o deity_n not_o only_o a_o father_n and_o a_o son_n but_o also_o a_o holy_a ghost_n who_o as_o many_o of_o they_o say_v unite_v the_o father_n with_o the_o son_n and_o it_o be_v very_o convenient_a that_o from_o that_o essence_n which_o be_v one_o there_o shall_v come_v three_o a_o child_n of_o unity_n again_o if_o we_o examine_v it_o political_o why_o three_o shall_v be_v conservative_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o manifest_v of_o itself_o because_o if_o one_o of_o the_o three_o shall_v aspire_v to_o be_v sole_a prince_n present_o the_o other_o two_o will_v join_v and_o oppose_v and_o utter_o frustrate_v his_o design_n and_o if_o two_o of_o the_o three_o shall_v grow_v at_o variance_n the_o three_o will_v either_o by_o interpose_v reconcile_v they_o or_o stand_v neuter_n as_o only_o a_o looker_n on_o they_o will_v grow_v friend_n of_o themselves_o for_o fear_v least_o the_o other_o shall_v reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o their_o victory_n and_o therefore_o aristotle_n find_v fault_n with_o plato_n for_o make_v a_o commonwealth_n to_o consist_v of_o only_a prince_n and_o people_n and_o consequent_o of_o only_a two_o form_n say_v it_o have_v be_v much_o better_o to_o have_v make_v it_o to_o consist_v of_o three_o which_o yet_o to_o many_o seem_v a_o paradox_n because_o as_o multiply_v of_o good_a make_v a_o more_o good_a so_o multiply_v of_o evil_n make_v always_o a_o more_o evil_a and_o why_o then_o will_v he_o rather_o have_v three_o corruption_n then_o two_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n as_o i_o conceive_v but_o that_o he_o will_v plain_o show_v he_o know_v the_o number_n of_o three_o to_o be_v conservative_n and_o the_o number_n of_o two_o destructive_a there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o ruin_n city_n then_o to_o be_v divide_v into_o two_o without_o a_o three_o as_o aristotle_n in_o many_o place_n show_v and_o praise_v that_o city_n for_o the_o best_a which_o be_v full_a of_o middling_a sort_n of_o man_n for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o because_o there_o be_v in_o it_o the_o three_o that_o be_v rich_a poor_a and_o of_o a_o middling_a rank_n and_o show_v that_o where_o these_o be_v not_o it_o be_v impossible_a a_o city_n shall_v continue_v to_o come_v then_o to_o a_o monarchy_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o number_n of_o three_o shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o to_o destroy_v three_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n either_o by_o increase_a it_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o four_o or_o by_o abate_v it_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o two_o just_a as_o the_o apostate_n lucifer_n will_v have_v do_v to_o divide_v and_o destroy_v the_o heavenly_a monarchy_n when_o leave_v the_o circumference_n found_v upon_o the_o divine_a centre_n he_o frame_v another_o high_a circle_n found_v upon_o the_o centre_n of_o himself_o bring_v the_o one_o to_o two_o which_o

eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n we_o may_v say_v then_o that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o number_n of_o three_o stand_v firm_a in_o crassus_n caesar_n and_o pompey_n so_o long_o the_o government_n come_v not_o to_o be_v a_o monarchy_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o crassus_n die_v and_o that_o the_o number_n come_v from_o three_o to_o two_o there_o present_o grow_v dissension_n between_o caesar_n and_o pompey_n till_o caesar_n at_o last_o make_v himself_o sole_a emperor_n likewise_o in_o the_o triumvirate_n of_o augustus_n none_o of_o they_o be_v so_o hardy_a as_o once_o to_o stir_v but_o lepidus_n
