the_o church_n can_v unite_v with_o other_o prince_n to_o hinder_v the_o progress_n of_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o republic_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o we_o will_v answer_v with_o a_o general_n rule_n which_o be_v that_o it_o never_o be_v advantageous_a to_o a_o prince_n who_o desire_v to_o remain_v free_a and_o powerful_a to_o let_v another_o grow_v great_a except_o it_o be_v to_o lessen_v a_o three_o who_o be_v great_a

and_o till_o it_o come_v to_o a_o excess_n not_o to_o be_v think_v on_o for_o these_o fifty_o year_n it_o can_v give_v no_o jealousy_n to_o the_o republic_n as_o to_o the_o title_n inclination_n and_o facility_n that_o france_n may_v have_v to_o acquire_v any_o part_n of_o the_o republick_n dominion_n i_o say_v we_o need_v not_o doubt_v of_o their_o inclination_n because_o prince_n be_v like_o wolf_n to_o one_o another_o always_o ready_a for_o prey_n as_o for_o title_n they_o can_v set_v up_o none_o till_o they_o have_v conquer_v the_o duchy_n of_o milan_n and_o facility_n they_o have_v as_o little_a because_o they_o can_v come_v at_o the_o republick_n territory_n without_o first_o pass_v over_o those_o of_o other_o prince_n which_o they_o will_v never_o consent_v to_o lest_o they_o prove_v the_o first_o conquest_n themselves_o whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o for_o a_o long_a time_n the_o power_n of_o france_n can_v give_v no_o jealousy_n to_o the_o republic_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o republic_n can_v have_v no_o pretence_n as_o thing_n stand_v upon_o any_o part_n of_o the_o french_a territory_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v total_o exclude_v from_o italy_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o title_n there_o be_v less_o inclination_n and_o facility_n the_o union_n of_o france_n with_o the_o republic_n to_o acquire_v the_o state_n of_o any_o other_o prince_n will_v always_o be_v easy_a when_o france_n be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o mind_v such_o acquisition_n the_o past_a example_n prove_v that_o sufficient_o but_o they_o do_v sufficient_o bear_v testimony_n likewise_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o such_o union_n now_o that_o the_o french_a be_v total_o exclude_v italy_n they_o will_v agree_v to_o very_o large_a condition_n with_o the_o republic_n and_o allow_v they_o a_o great_a share_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o naples_n and_o duchy_n of_o milan_n but_o they_o will_v no_o soon_o have_v make_v the_o acquisition_n of_o their_o share_n but_o they_o will_v begin_v to_o cast_v their_o eye_n upon_o that_o of_o the_o republic_n and_o enter_v into_o a_o league_n against_o they_o with_o some_o other_o prince_n just_a as_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o time_n of_o lewis_n the_o twelve_o when_o to_o gain_v cremona_n he_o be_v the_o first_o that_o consent_v to_o the_o league_n of_o cambray_n deceive_v all_o the_o while_n the_o venetian_a ambassador_n at_o court_n and_o affirm_v even_o with_o oath_n that_o he_o will_v never_o conclude_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o republic_n though_o he_o have_v sign_v the_o

that_o shall_v happen_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o stir_v up_o the_o faction_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o bring_v upon_o they_o some_o powerful_a neighbour_n such_o as_o england_n the_o friendship_n of_o savoy_n will_v likewise_o be_v useful_a to_o hinder_v the_o pass_n of_o the_o mountain_n and_o make_v some_o diversion_n in_o provence_n and_o dauphine_n if_o there_o can_v be_v

but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o republic_n unite_v only_o with_o some_o italian_a prince_n and_o the_o french_a to_o stand_v spectator_n as_o may_v happen_v in_o the_o minority_n of_o a_o french_a

by_o reason_n of_o vicinity_n we_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o other_o italian_a prince_n it_o will_v be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o republic_n to_o see_v they_o great_a if_o it_o can_v be_v do_v at_o

these_o little_a prince_n unite_v without_o the_o pope_n and_o spain_n can_v hardly_o give_v a_o disturbance_n to_o the_o republic_n because_o the_o two_o powerful_a of_o they_o to_o wit_n savoy_n
