for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o exaltation_n and_o ruin_n of_o a_o army_n therefore_o the_o greek_a proverb_n do_v say_v that_o a_o army_n of_o heart_n that_o have_v a_o lion_n to_o their_o captain_n

to_o other_o refer_v himself_o to_o chance_n the_o which_o for_o no_o other_o respect_n have_v be_v induce_v and_o bring_v into_o a_o commonwealth_n but_o only_o to_o take_v away_o all_o sort_n of_o

willing_o rage_n against_o chance_n forsomuch_o as_o since_o every_o day_n there_o do_v succeed_v new_a and_o strange_a chance_n and_o not_o understand_v the_o occasion_n neither_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o they_o be_v wrought_v sudden_o we_o give_v the_o praise_n or_o the_o blame_n unto_o fortune_n the_o affair_n of_o man_n be_v in_o revolution_n &_o motion_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v firm_a &_o steadfast_a it_o be_v convenient_a that_o they_o arise_v up_o and_o descend_v down_o and_o to_o name_v thing_n that_o reason_n do_v not_o induce_v we_o necessity_n do_v induce_v we_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o have_v order_v and_o fashion_v a_o commonwealth_n apt_a to_o maintain_v itself_o without_o enlarge_n of_o it_o and_o that_o if_o we_o be_v constrain_v by_o necessity_n to_o enlarge_v it_o it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o shall_v remove_v our_o foundation_n and_o make_v the_o common_a wealth_n soon_o to_o ruinate_v so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o the_o heaven_n be_v so_o beneficial_a unto_o we_o that_o our_o state_n shall_v have_v no_o need_n to_o make_v war_n it_o will_v ensue_v that_o idleness_n will_v either_o work_v division_n among_o we_o or_o

balance_v these_o thing_n neither_o precise_o keep_v the_o middle_a path_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o in_o the_o direct_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n we_o shall_v think_v upon_o the_o most_o honourable_a party_n and_o order_v it_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o when_o through_o necessity_n we_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o enlarge_v it_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o keep_v that_o which_o we_o have_v get_v the_o offence_n and_o damage_n of_o a_o private_a person_n against_o a_o private_a person_n do_v engender_v fear_n fear_n seek_v for_o defence_n defence_n do_v procure_v partaker_n and_o

there_o be_v no_o order_n that_o can_v without_o extraordinary_a mean_n extinguish_v those_o malignant_a humour_n that_o arise_v in_o any_o person_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o provide_v by_o the_o way_n of_o accusation_n but_o as_o accusation_n be_v profitable_a to_o a_o commonwealth_n so_o detraction_n be_v damageable_a detraction_n or_o calumny_n have_v no_o need_n of_o testimony_n or_o any_o

proof_n and_o of_o circumstance_n that_o may_v show_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o accusation_n we_o ought_v to_o observe_v this_o general_a rule_n that_o never_o for_o very_o seldom_o it_o do_v chance_n that_o any_o common_a weal_n or_o kingdom_n be_v at_o the_o first_o well_o institute_v or_o at_o all_o be_v make_v new_a and_o reform_v out_o of_o the_o old_a constitute_v law_n if_o it_o be_v not_o
