count_v for_o the_o best_a which_o be_v guicch_n be_v guicch_n more_o stir_v sharp_a and_o acute_a fiery_a and_o subtle_a then_o ordinary_a but_o these_o noble_a and_o excellent_a wit_n for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v prove_v very_a cross_n and_o be_v oftentimes_o the_o cause_n of_o much_o disquietness_n turmoil_v and_o trouble_v to_o he_o who_o be_v endue_v therewith_o or_o may_v those_o rather_o be_v take_v for_o the_o best_a which_o tho_o idem_fw-la tho_o idem_fw-la more_o blunt_a yet_o be_v more_o certain_a and_o last_a and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v more_o fortunate_a than_o the_o other_o 2_o it_o may_v further_o be_v demand_v why_o in_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o city_n there_o may_v be_v find_v many_o distinct_a family_n who_o manner_n and_o condition_n be_v particular_a to_o themselves_o as_o we_o read_v among_o the_o roman_n that_o the_o manlij_n be_v ever_o stern_a and_o severe_a the_o publicolae_n courteous_a and_o gentle_a the_o appij_n proud_a and_o ambitious_a etc._n etc._n come_v this_o to_o pass_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o temperature_n but_o that_o as_o it_o may_v be_v think_v may_v be_v change_v and_o alter_v by_o the_o variety_n of_o marriage_n or_o may_v this_o rather_o be_v the_o cause_n for_o that_o every_o family_n have_v a_o peculiar_a manner_n of_o bring_v up_o their_o child_n for_o this_o common_o hold_v true_a 46._o true_a mach._n disput_fw-la de_fw-fr repub._n lib._n 3._o cap._n 46._o whatsoever_o manner_n and_o opinion_n be_v instill_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o youth_n in_o their_o infancy_n they_o will_v hardly_o or_o never_o be_v remove_v but_o continue_v with_o they_o even_o to_o their_o old_a age_n 3_o it_o may_v be_v further_o demand_v why_o frenchman_n why_o liu._n in_o his_o book_n affirm_v this_o of_o the_o frenchman_n diverse_a nation_n at_o the_o first_o assault_n or_o onset_n give_v seem_v to_o be_v magnanimous_a and_o very_o fierce_a and_o forward_o to_o the_o battle_n but_o within_o a_o while_n after_o do_v grow_v very_o fearful_a and_o turn_v coward_n may_v the_o cause_n consist_v in_o any_o peculiar_a affect_v in_o their_o nature_n but_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o 36._o that_o mach._n disput_fw-la cap._n 36._o nature_n from_o day_n to_o day_n may_v be_v correct_v and_o amend_v or_o may_v this_o rather_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o such_o nation_n be_v ibidem_fw-la be_v idem_fw-la ibidem_fw-la without_o order_n or_o exercise_v of_o military_a discipline_n be_v not_o enable_v with_o such_o ordinary_a manhood_n as_o may_v establish_v their_o heart_n and_o mind_n make_v they_o to_o conceive_v a_o assure_a hope_n of_o victory_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v not_o vanquisher_n in_o the_o first_o assault_n they_o straight_o way_n quit_v the_o

even_o lewd_a person_n have_v many_o time_n occasion_n offer_v they_o to_o commit_v some_o memorable_a and_o notable_a villainy_n notwithstanding_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o dare_v not_o attempt_v it_o or_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n and_o execution_n be_v it_o for_o that_o they_o be_v afraid_a lest_o they_o shall_v 27._o shall_v mach._n disp_n lib._n ●_o cap._n 27._o incur_v the_o note_n of_o infamy_n but_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o thing_n may_v happy_o cover_v the_o badness_n of_o the_o fact_n and_o likewise_o protect_v the_o party_n from_o danger_n or_o do_v they_o abstain_v from_o perpetrate_v and_o commit_v such_o horrtble_a villainy_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o ibidem_fw-la their_o idem_fw-la ibidem_fw-la own_o inbred_a goodness_n or_o nice_a touch_n of_o their_o conscience_n but_o such_o godly_a and_o holy_a motion_n do_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o lewd_a lossel_n or_o may_v this_o rather_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o that_o by_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o afford_v to_o the_o most_o man_n to_o be_v ibidem_fw-la be_v idem_fw-la ibidem_fw-la absolute_o evil_a or_o perfect_o good_a 5_o it_o may_v further_o be_v demand_v why_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o and_o so_o great_a difficulty_n in_o change_v or_o amend_v old_a custom_n though_o most_o man_n convict_v secret_o in_o their_o conscience_n by_o evident_a truth_n shall_v confess_v they_o be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a and_o dangerous_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n to_o continue_v they_o may_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o that_o although_o some_o good_a citizen_n or_o patriot_n foresee_v the_o danger_n do_v persuade_v the_o change_n thereof_o yet_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a full_o to_o turn_v the_o people_n mind_n by_o reason_n of_o other_o opposition_n or_o may_v this_o rather_o be_v the_o cause_n for_o that_o most_o man_n stand_v so_o affect_v and_o affectionate_a to_o their_o ancient_a course_n of_o live_v that_o they_o will_v not_o willing_o depart_v therefrom_o or_o may_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o difficulty_n of_o amend_v evil_a custom_n for_o that_o there_o be_v ever_o a_o want_n of_o proportionable_a mean_n agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n to_o bring_v that_o business_n about_o so_o that_o they_o must_v be_v drive_v to_o fly_v to_o new_a course_n altogether_o which_o seldom_o prove_v fortunate_a or_o may_v this_o rather_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o that_o if_o some_o few_o or_o any_o one_o man_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o change_v the_o form_n of_o government_n it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a for_o he_o first_o by_o force_n to_o invade_v the_o state_n and_o then_o to_o seize_v the_o liberty_n thereof_o into_o his_o hand_n which_o may_v be_v think_v not_o to_o be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o good_a man_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v rather_o desist_v from_o his_o purpose_n then_o do_v his_o citizen_n so_o much_o good_a or_o may_v this_o be_v a_o further_a reason_n for_o that_o the_o most_o man_n be_v persuade_v that_o there_o can_v scarce_o be_v that_o man_n find_v who_o have_v once_o bring_v a_o state_n under_o subjection_n by_o ill_a mean_n will_v afterward_o use_v that_o power_n and_o

and_o how_o a_o friend_n may_v be_v purchase_v that_o a_o man_n may_v trust_v unto_o 1_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v when_o benefit_n be_v to_o be_v bestow_v upon_o a_o man_n be_v they_o to_o be_v

help_n of_o such_o a_o man_n or_o for_o some_o private_a end_n to_o himself_o best_o know_v but_o this_o manner_n of_o give_v shall_v seem_v to_o be_v very_o extravagant_a and_o distasteful_a to_o the_o receiver_n as_o think_v that_o they_o be_v collate_v upon_o he_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o party_n necessity_n which_o once_o serve_v he_o will_v never_o confer_v more_o upon_o he_o or_o be_v they_o not_o so_o to_o be_v collate_v upon_o any_o man_n but_o ibidem_fw-la but_o idem_fw-la ibidem_fw-la timous_o rather_o before_o he_o which_o may_v have_v need_n of_o they_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o use_v they_o or_o the_o collator_n thereof_o the_o person_n 2_o it_o may_v further_o be_v demand_v wherefore_o they_o who_o have_v death_n have_v as_o charond_v as_o among_o the_o aeginensians_n the_o mistocle_n among_o the_o athenian_n camillus_n scipio_n etc._n etc._n among_o the_o roman_n be_v imprison_v banish_a or_o put_v to_o death_n best_a deserve_v of_o a_o

name_n of_o a_o benefit_n or_o be_v this_o rather_o the_o cause_n for_o that_o it_o be_v lacedaemonian_n be_v this_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o athenian_n and_o lacedaemonian_n appropriate_a and_o peculiar_a to_o certain_a commonwealth_n so_o to_o envy_v those_o which_o excel_v in_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n as_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o able_a to_o follow_v and_o imitate_v they_o therein_o seek_v to_o spoil_v they_o of_o their_o government_n and_o empire_n or_o may_v this_o rather_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o some_o come_v some_o philip._n come_v stand_v too_o much_o upon_o their_o own_o merit_n have_v bear_v themselves_o too_o proud_o against_o tje_fw-fr state_n or_o their_o own_o society_n or_o may_v this_o likewise_o be_v the_o cause_n for_o that_o those_o who_o either_o by_o their_o rare_a exploit_n or_o cunning_a ambition_n creep_v into_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o people_n at_o home_n and_o hunt_v after_o renown_n and_o admiration_n abroad_o may_v seem_v to_o dim_v the_o glory_n of_o their_o prince_n who_o
