you_o may_v do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a to_o mankind_n by_o the_o advice_n that_o you_o will_v give_v and_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a design_n that_o every_o good_a man_n ought_v to_o propose_v to_o himself_o in_o live_v for_o whereas_o your_o friend_n plato_n think_v that_o then_o nation_n will_v be_v happy_a when_o either_o philosopher_n become_v king_n or_o king_n become_v philosopher_n no_o wonder_n if_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o happiness_n if_o philosopher_n will_v not_o think_v it_o fit_a for_o they_o to_o assist_v king_n with_o their_o counsel_n they_o be_v not_o so_o base_a mind_v say_v he_o but_o that_o they_o will_v willing_o do_v it_o many_o of_o they_o have_v already_o do_v it_o by_o their_o book_n if_o these_o that_o be_v in_o power_n will_v hearken_v to_o their_o good_a advice_n but_o plato_n judge_v right_a that_o except_o king_n themselves_o become_v philosopher_n it_o can_v never_o be_v bring_v about_o that_o they_o who_o from_o their_o childhood_n be_v corrupt_v with_o false_a notion_n shall_v fall_v in_o entire_o with_o the_o counsel_n of_o philosopher_n which_o he_o himself_o find_v to_o be_v true_a in_o the_o person_n of_o dionysius_n do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o if_o i_o be_v about_o any_o king_n and_o be_v propose_v good_a law_n to_o he_o and_o endeavour_v to_o root_v out_o of_o he_o all_o the_o curse_a seed_n

that_o of_o gain_v it_o for_o the_o conquer_a people_n will_v be_v still_o apt_a to_o rebel_v or_o be_v expose_v to_o foreign_a invasion_n so_o that_o they_o must_v always_o be_v in_o war_n either_o

that_o must_v follow_v they_o perhaps_o upon_o some_o misfortune_n they_o may_v be_v force_v to_o throw_v up_o all_o at_o last_o therefore_o it_o seem_v much_o more_o eligible_a that_o the_o king_n

that_o he_o shall_v live_v among_o they_o and_o govern_v they_o gentle_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v let_v other_o kingdom_n alone_o since_o that_o which_o have_v fall_v to_o his_o share_n be_v big_a
