there_o more_o to_o be_v fear_v than_o marius_n what_o king_n live_v be_v there_o of_o such_o power_n as_o king_n mithridates_n and_o of_o general_n and_o lieutenant_n of_o army_n in_o all_o italy_n

the_o two_o last_o but_o the_o great_a matter_n of_o all_o that_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o lysander_n do_v all_o his_o noble_a act_n with_o the_o aid_n of_o his_o whole_a country_n where_o sylla_n to_o the_o contrary_n do_v he_o be_v banish_v from_o his_o country_n by_o his_o enemy_n and_o at_o the_o self_n same_o time_n that_o they_o drive_v sulla_n wife_n

furthermore_o sylla_n will_v never_o stoop_v to_o king_n mithridates_n for_o any_o particular_a alliance_n he_o offer_v he_o neither_o yield_v unto_o he_o for_o any_o aid_n of_o man_n or_o money_n to_o war_n against_o his_o enemy_n but_o a_o thing_n most_o chief_o to_o be_v note_v above_o the_o rest_n he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o speak_v to_o mithridates_n magnanimity_n nor_o to_o take_v

the_o realm_n of_o bythinia_n and_o cappadocia_n unto_o their_o natural_a king_n this_o i_o think_v be_v the_o goodly_a act_n that_o ever_o sylla_n do_v and_o proceed_v of_o the_o great_a magnanimity_n to_o have_v prefer_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n in_o that_o sort_n before_o his_o private_a commodity_n for_o therein_o he_o be_v like_a unto_o a_o good_a greyhound_n

i_o think_v it_o be_v easy_o judge_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o their_o two_o nature_n in_o that_o they_o do_v both_o towards_o the_o city_n of_o athens_n for_o sylla_n have_v take_v it_o after_o the_o citizen_n have_v make_v fierce_a war_n with_o he_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o king_n mithridates_n greatness_n yet_o he_o leave_v it_o free_a unto_o they_o enjoy_v their_o own_o

be_v the_o which_o he_o show_v in_o spain_n unto_o a_o young_a lady_n take_v prisoner_n and_o unto_o luceius_n prince_n of_o the_o celtiberian_n do_v it_o not_o deserve_v great_a praise_n now_o for_o

in_o greek_a touch_v the_o deed_n of_o manlius_n volso_n now_o true_o i_o do_v agree_v with_o citero_n that_o say_v in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr oratore_fw-la that_o annibal_n hear_v phormio_n

well_o furnish_v with_o armour_n and_o weapon_n as_o with_o gold_n and_o silver_n he_o ask_v annibal_n if_o he_o think_v his_o army_n sufficient_a for_o the_o roman_n yea_o sir_n ꝙ_z he_o that_o they_o be_v be_v the_o enemy_n never_o so_o covetous_a this_o may_v true_o be_v say_v of_o annibal_n antiochus_n that_o he_o obtain_v many_o great_a victory_n in_o the_o war_n but_o yet_o they_o turn_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o country_n scipio_n in_o contrary_a manner_n do_v preserve_v his_o country_n in_o such_o safety_n and_o also_o do_v so_o much_o increase_v the_o dominion_n thereof_o that_o as_o many_o as_o shall_v look_v into_o his_o desert_n they_o can_v not_o but_o call_v rome_n unthankful_a which_o like_v rather_o that_o the_o african_a preserver_n of_o the_o city_n shall_v go_v out_o of_o rome_n then_o that_o they_o will_v repress_v the_o fury_n and_o insolency_n of_o a_o few_o and_o for_o my_o own_o opinion_n i_o can_v not_o think_v well_o of_o that_o city_n that_o so_o unthankful_o have_v suffer_v so_o worthy_a and_o innocent_a a_o person_n to_o be_v injure_v and_o so_o will_v i_o also_o have_v think_v it_o more_o blame_v worthy_a if_o the_o city_n have_v be_v a_o aider_n of_o the_o injury_n offer_v he_o in_o fine_a the_o senate_n as_o all_o man_n do_v report_v give_v great_a thanks_n unto_o tiberius_n gracchus_n because_o he_o do_v defend_v the_o scipions_n cause_n and_o the_o common_a people_n also_o follow_v the_o african_a when_o he_o visit_v all_o the_o temple_n of_o rome_n and_o leave_v the_o tribune_n alone_o that_o accuse_v he_o do_v thereby_o show_v how_o much_o they_o do_v love_n and_o honour_v the_o name_n of_o the_o scipio_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v judge_v the_o citizen_n heart_n and_o good_a will_n by_o those_o thing_n man_n will_v rather_o condemn_v they_o for_o coward_n to_o have_v suffer_v such_o outrage_n then_o unthankful_a forforget_v of_o his_o benefit_n for_o there_o be_v very_o few_o that_o consent_v to_o so_o wicked_a a_o deed_n and_o all_o of_o they_o in_o manner_n be_v very_o sorry_a for_o it_o howbeit_o scipio_n that_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o great_a mind_n not_o much_o regard_v the_o malice_n of_o his_o enemy_n be_v content_v rather_o to_o leave_v the_o city_n then_o by_o civil_a war_n to_o destroy_v it_o for_o he_o will_v not_o come_v against_o his_o country_n with_o ensign_n display_v neither_o will_v he_o solicit_v strange_a nation_n and_o mighty_a king_n to_o come_v with_o force_n and_o their_o aid_n to_o destroy_v the_o city_n thew_z which_o he_o have_v

how_o careful_a he_o be_v to_o preserve_v the_o liberty_n of_o rome_n because_o when_o he_o be_v in_o spain_n he_o refuse_v the_o title_n and_o name_n of_o king_n which_o be_v offer_v he_o and_o for_o that_o he_o be_v marvellous_a angry_a with_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n because_o they_o will_v have_v make_v he_o perpetual_a consul_n and_o dictator_n and_o consider_v also_o that_o he_o command_v they_o shall_v set_v up_o no_o statue_n of_o he_o nether_a in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o assembly_n nor_o in_o the_o judgement_n seat_n nor_o in_o the_o capitol_n all_o which_o honour_v afterwards_o
