confess_v that_o the_o country_n of_o right_n appertain_v to_o we_o we_o possess_v it_o on_o no_o other_o term_n rather_o than_o to_o be_v any_o way_n question_v or_o doubt_v of_o for_o we_o inhabit_v this_o by_o donation_n from_o hercules_n offspring_n and_o be_v warrant_v from_o the_o oracle_n of_o apollo_n confirm_v and_o by_o conquest_n of_o they_o that_o possess_v it_o that_o other_o we_o have_v take_v from_o the_o same_o man_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o by_o the_o same_o oracle_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o we_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o proud_a command_n lay_v on_o we_o touch_v contradiction_n in_o the_o one_o or_o the_o relinquish_a of_o sparta_n it_o be_v a_o needless_a labour_n to_o trouble_v our_o brain_n concern_v messena_n and_o if_o none_o of_o you_o think_v it_o fit_a that_o you_o shall_v live_v banish_v from_o your_o own_o country_n you_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v like_o mind_a concern_v messena_n for_o we_o must_v plead_v the_o same_o right_a and_o reason_n touch_v they_o both_o nor_o be_v this_o unknown_a to_o you_o that_o all_o man_n account_v possession_n whether_o private_a or_o public_a by_o prescription_n of_o time_n to_o be_v proper_a and_o patrimonial_a now_o we_o get_v messena_n before_o the_o persian_n get_v their_o monarchy_n or_o subdue_v the_o continent_n asia_n and_o before_o some_o city_n of_o greece_n be_v make_v habitable_a these_o thing_n remain_v thus_o to_o you_o they_o the_o theban_n have_v yield_v asia_n to_o a_o stranger_n as_o his_o own_o patrimony_n who_o have_v not_o have_v the_o empire_n 200_o year_n but_o will_v take_v away_o messena_n from_o we_o who_o have_v possess_v it_o more_o than_o double_a that_o time_n and_o palativa_fw-la and_o thespea_v they_o have_v now_o a_o late_a dimolished_a but_o messena_n after_o 300_o year_n space_n they_o will_v have_v reaedify_v in_o both_o break_n the_o condition_n and_o league_n and_o as_o they_o shall_v as_o of_o right_o reduce_v messena_n yet_o they_o shall_v be_v injurious_a or_o offend_v we_o with_o more_o colour_n or_o show_v of_o reason_n but_o now_o they_o plant_v vassal_n upon_o our_o confine_n so_o this_o be_v not_o the_o most_o fearful_a offence_n that_o we_o shall_v loose_v our_o city_n contrary_a to_o all_o right_a but_o to_o behold_v our_o vassal_n to_o be_v now_o our_o city_n master_n out_o of_o that_o which_o follow_v you_o shall_v evident_o discern_v that_o now_o we_o suffer_v intolerable_a wrong_n and_o that_o former_o we_o just_o hold_v messena_n for_o after_o many_o peril_n be_v sustain_v by_o we_o we_o be_v constrain_v to_o make_v peace_n fear_v much_o worse_a than_o if_o we_o have_v be_v enemy_n but_o yet_o our_o covenant_n be_v draw_v in_o those_o time_n wherein_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o have_v better_a there_o fall_v out_o some_o contention_n about_o other_o thing_n but_o about_o messena_n neither_o the_o great_a king_n of_o persia_n nor_o the_o state_n of_o the_o theban_n at_o any_o time_n can_v object_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o hold_v thereof_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o find_v a_o more_o elaborate_a testimony_n touch_v our_o right_n than_o this_o decree_n make_v know_v by_o our_o enemy_n and_o notify_v in_o our_o grear_a infortunat_n moreover_o the_o oracle_n which_o all_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v most_o ancient_a universal_a and_o faithful_a foreknow_v that_o then_o messena_n be_v we_o when_o upon_o the_o gift_n or_o donation_n of_o cresphons_n princely_a heir_n it_o bid_v we_o receive_v the_o city_n and_o relieve_v the_o wrong_a but_o the_o war_n continue_v a_o long_a time_n both_o party_n send_v to_o delphos_n they_o seek_v for_o succour_n and_o we_o question_v how_o we_o may_v with_o most_o celerity_n be_v possess_v of_o the_o city_n the_o oracle_n give_v no_o answer_n at_o all_o unto_o they_o as_o make_v no_o just_a petition_n but_o declare_v to_o we_o what_o sacrifice_n we_o shall_v offer_v and_o from_o who_o we_o shall_v have_v most_o strong_a aid_n and_o how_o can_v any_o give_v a_o more_o sure_a and_o clear_a testimony_n then_o these_o first_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o we_o receive_v this_o country_n of_o the_o true_a lord_n and_o owner_n thereof_o nor_o be_v it_o unnecessary_a brief_o to_o repeat_v and_o inculcate_v these_o point_n next_o by_o conquest_n as_o many_o other_o city_n in_o those_o time_n be_v erect_v after_o that_o we_o cast_v out_o those_o impious_a wrongers_n of_o hercules_n child_n who_o be_v just_o expulse_v all_o country_n add_v hereunto_o our_o right_n of_o possession_n by_o time_n prescription_n our_o enemy_n approbation_n and_o the_o goddess_n determination_n every_o one_o of_o which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o overthrow_v their_o word_n that_o dare_v accuse_v we_o either_o now_o for_o covetousness_n we_o conclude_v a_o peace_n or_o former_o for_o ambition_n of_o other_o man_n estate_n we_o wage_v war_n against_o the_o messenian_n and_o of_o the_o possession_n of_o messena_n haply_o the_o matter_n afford_v more_o to_o be_v speak_v but_o i_o suppose_v what_o be_v already_o say_v be_v sufficient_a but_o they_o which_o advise_v we_o to_o make_v peace_n affirm_v that_o it_o behove_v wise_a and_o prudent_a man_n not_o to_o carry_v one_o and_o the_o same_o mind_n in_o manage_v their_o affair_n when_o they_o be_v in_o prosperity_n as_o in_o adversity_n but_o to_o apply_v to_o the_o time_n and_o to_o follow_v fortune_n not_o to_o bear_v mind_n great_a than_o mean_n nor_o to_o seek_v for_o justice_n in_o those_o strait_n but_o for_o expediency_n in_o other_o thing_n i_o agree_v with_o they_o but_o how_o expediency_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o justice_n no_o man_n of_o the_o deep_a consultation_n can_v persuade_v i_o for_o i_o perceive_v that_o for_o justice_n sake_n law_n be_v enact_v and_o in_o justice_n upright_o and_o good_a man_n much_o glory_n and_o rejoice_v and_o for_o justice_n city_n govern_v honest_o and_o honourable_o labour_v most_o exceed_o yea_o and_o the_o war_n in_o old_a time_n have_v have_v a_o successful_a end_n not_o according_a to_o force_v but_o faith_n and_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o man_n perish_v through_o wickedness_n but_o be_v conserve_v by_o virtue_n therefore_o they_o must_v not_o be_v weak_a or_o fainthearted_a that_o try_v all_o danger_n for_o just_a cause_n but_o much_o rather_o they_o who_o injure_v other_o contumelious_o and_o can_v bear_v prosperity_n moderate_o next_o you_o must_v cast_v your_o eye_n on_o this_o point_n that_o all_o man_n opinion_n be_v agree_v concern_v the_o justness_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o difference_n be_v only_o about_o the_o expediency_n thereof_o and_o of_o two_o good_n propound_v whereof_o the_o one_o be_v manifest_a and_o the_o other_o uncertain_a how_o can_v you_o but_o do_v absurd_o if_o you_o shall_v refuse_v that_o which_o be_v certain_a and_o out_o of_o question_n and_o choose_v that_o which_o be_v doubtful_a your_o own_o election_n be_v so_o distract_v in_o itself_o for_o it_o be_v comprehend_v in_o your_o speech_n that_o we_o shall_v loose_v nothing_o of_o our_o own_o nor_o involve_v the_o state_n with_o any_o disgrace_n and_o be_v expose_v unto_o danger_n for_o a_o good_a cause_n to_o hope_v our_o battle_n shall_v have_v more_o prosperous_a success_n than_o our_o enemy_n and_o in_o all_o these_o our_o advice_n to_o loose_a messena_n you_o shall_v wrong_v yourselves_o herein_o and_o peradventure_o miss_v in_o expediencie_n justice_n and_o other_o thing_n which_o you_o expect_v for_o it_o be_v not_o assure_v that_o if_o we_o grant_v our_o enemy_n demand_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o firm_a peace_n and_o i_o think_v you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o all_o man_n use_v to_o discourse_v of_o justice_n or_o equity_n to_o those_o that_o be_v defendant_n but_o on_o those_o which_o be_v somewhat_o more_o ready_a in_o yield_v to_o the_o demand_n of_o their_o enemy_n worse_a condition_n be_v impose_v then_o at_o the_o first_o be_v intend_v so_o as_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o they_o who_o be_v incline_v to_o war_n settle_v a_o better_a peace_n than_o they_o who_o easy_o submit_v to_o any_o condition_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o waste_v more_o time_n about_o these_o thing_n leave_v they_o all_o i_o will_v address_v my_o speech_n to_o the_o most_o substantial_a point_n if_o never_o any_o at_o any_o time_n have_v be_v put_v to_o the_o worse_o have_v recover_v themselves_o nor_o overcome_v their_o enemy_n neither_o can_v we_o by_o any_o likelihood_n hope_v to_o be_v by_o war_n advance_v but_o if_o oft_o time_n it_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o strong_a have_v be_v vanquish_v by_o the_o weak_a and_o they_o who_o have_v lay_v siege_n have_v be_v put_v to_o the_o worst_a by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v beseidge_v what_o wonder_n be_v it_o that_o the_o estate_n wherein_o we_o now_o stand_v shall_v admit_v alteration_n
