great_a jollity_n visit_v we_o may_v argue_v and_o say_v that_o if_o the_o roman_n do_v owe_v such_o honour_n unto_o image_n much_o more_o be_v due_a unto_o the_o live_a child_n because_o they_o be_v but_o a_o imitation_n of_o nature_n whereas_o nature_n herself_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o child_n now_o if_o this_o your_o reason_n m._n peter_n anthony_n have_v as_o much_o force_n in_o it_o as_o it_o show_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v appall_v i_o and_o give_v so_o great_a courage_n unto_o possidonio_n that_o you_o may_v easy_o persuade_v he_o he_o be_v well_o worthy_a to_o have_v one_o of_o these_o image_n erect_v for_o he_o and_o although_o that_o i_o shall_v frame_v no_o other_o answer_n thereunto_o than_o i_o do_v to_o the_o last_o yet_o shall_v i_o be_v still_o upon_o a_o sure_a ground_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v use_v such_o reason_n in_o disproof_n thereof_o as_o i_o do_v to_o y_z e_z former_a for_o if_o thou_o say_v that_o their_o child_n who_o image_n be_v erect_v to_o y_z e_z common_a view_n of_o all_o man_n do_v participate_v with_o their_o father_n virtue_n then_o i_o do_v affirm_v that_o thy_o allegation_n be_v true_a but_o if_o therein_o they_o differ_v than_o this_o their_o nobility_n and_o reputation_n be_v not_o transfer_v to_o they_o so_o likewise_o if_o the_o child_n of_o those_o who_o be_v represent_v by_o those_o image_n have_v be_v worthy_a of_o such_o honour_n sure_o the_o roman_n who_o want_v no_o good_a counsel_n will_v willing_o have_v grant_v it_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o the_o honour_n be_v not_o do_v to_o the_o image_n whether_o it_o be_v of_o marble_n or_o mettle_n but_o to_o the_o worthy_a memory_n of_o his_o virtue_n who_o lineament_n the_o image_n do_v lively_o set_v forth_o which_o can_v not_o be_v well_o execute_v in_o y_z e_z person_n of_o their_o child_n be_v make_v in_o regard_n of_o their_o own_o proper_a virtue_n and_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o thing_n belong_v to_o another_o beside_o that_o there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v diverse_a person_n who_o be_v descend_v of_o valorous_a and_o worthy_a parent_n have_v with_o shame_n darken_v their_o brightness_n as_o we_o have_v already_o affirm_v and_o have_v it_o be_v reasonable_a that_o the_o wise_a roman_n shall_v have_v honour_v those_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o ancestor_n sure_o no._n and_o what_o will_v thou_o say_v possidonio_n if_o these_o man_n shall_v lavishlie_o reckon_v up_o the_o worthy_a deed_n of_o their_o predecessor_n or_o if_o they_o shall_v public_o show_v their_o image_n will_v thou_o indeed_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v nobleman_n god_n forbid_v nay_o so_o much_o more_o base_a aught_o they_o to_o be_v deem_v that_o they_o have_v before_o their_o eye_n the_o tread_a path_n which_o do_v manifest_o show_v they_o the_o way_n to_o become_v noble_a they_o take_v a_o clean_a contrary_a course_n what_o do_v then_o the_o worthiness_n of_o blood_n prevail_v when_o as_o it_o be_v obscure_v by_o dishonest_a condition_n and_o what_o annoyance_n do_v the_o baseness_n of_o blood_n bring_v when_o it_o be_v honour_v by_o noble_a virtue_n sure_o none_o at_o all_o for_o in_o perfect_a nobility_n the_o obscureness_n or_o worthiness_n of_o blood_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v but_o let_v we_o proceed_v further_o thou_o do_v enter_v into_o the_o government_n of_o city_n and_o the_o
