favourer_n of_o the_o house_n of_o lancaster_n that_o the_o inglish_n incline_v still_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o admit_v his_o right_n before_o his_o nephew_n and_o so_o they_o proclaim_v this_o

let_v pass_n many_o other_o which_o the_o civilian_n touch_v in_o his_o discourse_n before_o for_o that_o they_o be_v of_o more_o ancient_a time_n these_o favourer_n of_o the_o house_n of_o

elder_a brother_n dye_v before_o his_o father_n as_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o case_n of_o john_n of_o gaunt_n and_o of_o king_n richard_n their_o the_o uncle_n by_o right_n may_v be_v prefer_v for_o

many_o a_o fair_a day_n and_o year_n this_o be_v that_o than_o which_o these_o man_n do_v first_o require_v to_o wit_n that_o all_o fancy_n and_o fond_a opinion_n straingers_fw-mi of_o the_o vulgar_a

that_o some_o do_v take_v for_o strainger_n and_o forayner_n all_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o dominion_n and_o goverment_fw-mi though_o otherwise_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nation_n and_o language_n according_a as_o those_o other_o man_n that_o be_v enemy_n to_o strainger_n say_v a_o little_a before_o if_o you_o remember_v that_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o house_n of_o guyse_n and_o their_o kindred_n be_v take_v for_o strainger_n in_o france_n by_o they_o that_o by_o that_o mean_n will_v make_v they_o odious_a to_o the_o people_n for_o that_o their_o ancestor_n in_o time_n past_a come_v out_o of_o lorraine_n which_o be_v a_o province_n join_v hard_o upon_o france_n of_o the_o same_o nation_n language_n and_o manner_n but_o only_o under_o a_o other_o prince_n and_o so_o i_o myself_o note_v in_o my_o travel_v through_o italy_n that_o the_o florantine_n be_v hate_v &_o call_v strainger_n in_o sienna_n where_o they_o govern_v albeit_o the_o one_o state_n be_v not_o 30._o mile_n from_o the_o other_o and_o both_o of_o one_o nation_n language_n manner_n and_o education_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o some_o of_o different_a language_n &_o nation_n do_v hold_v themselves_o for_o country_n man_n as_o for_o example_n the_o biscayn_n in_o spain_n do_v not_o hold_v the_o castilian_n for_o strainger_n but_o be_v content_v to_o be_v rule_v by_o they_o as_o by_o their_o own_o countryman_n albeit_o they_o be_v a_o different_a nation_n and_o have_v different_a language_n and_o manner_n and_o the_o same_o i_o do_v note_n in_o the_o britayne_n and_o norman_n towards_o the_o french_a in_o the_o welsh_a also_o towards_o the_o inglish_n who_o be_v a_o different_a people_n and_o of_o different_a language_n and_o yet_o be_v they_o govern_v peaceable_o by_o the_o inglish_n &_o the_o inglish_n again_o do_v account_v they_o for_o their_o country_n man_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o that_o when_o king_n henry_n the_o seven_o come_v to_o be_v king_n of_o ingland_n i_o do_v not_o find_v any_o resistance_n make_v against_o he_o by_o the_o inglish_n for_o that_o respect_n that_o he_o be_v of_o that_o nation_n as_o evident_o he_o be_v by_o his_o father_n side_n that_o be_v of_o the_o tidder_n of_o wales_n so_o as_o this_o point_n also_o who_o be_v strainger_n and_o who_o be_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o depend_v much_o of_o the_o opinion_n and_o affection_n of_o each_o people_n &_o nation_n the_o one_o towards_o the_o other_o and_o this_o be_v so_o these_o man_n come_v to_o treat_v stranger_n more_o particular_o of_o the_o purpose_n in_o hand_n and_o do_v say_v that_o in_o two_o or_o three_o manner_n a_o nation_n may_v come_v to_o be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o strainger_n or_o foreigner_n first_o as_o a_o province_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o a_o piece_n or_o member_n of_o a_o other_o dominion_n as_o ingland_n be_v in_o time_n pass_v under_o the_o roman_n and_o as_o ireland_n be_v under_o ingland_n at_o this_o day_n and_o as_o the_o briton_n be_v under_o france_n and_o as_o many_o state_n of_o italy_n be_v under_o the_o crown_n of_o arragon_n and_o castille_n and_o this_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v either_o by_o conquest_n and_o force_n of_o arm_n as_o the_o welsh_a come_v to_o be_v under_o the_o inglish_n and_o the_o inglish_n to_o be_v under_o the_o norman_n and_o dane_n and_o as_o sicilia_n and_o naples_n come_v to_o be_v under_o the_o spaniard_n and_o as_o normandye_n and_o aquitaine_n come_v to_o be_v under_o the_o french_a &_o as_o almost_o all_o the_o world_n in_o old_a time_n be_v bring_v to_o be_v under_o the_o roman_n or_o otherwise_o the_o same_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v by_o inheritance_n as_o aquitaine_n and_o normandy_n in_o time_n past_a come_v to_o ingland_n &_o as_o flanders_n with_o the_o state_n thereof_o come_v to_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n and_o as_o britain_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n or_o else_o three_o it_o may_v happen_v by_o mix_a mean_n that_o be_v to_o say_v partly_o by_o force_n and_o partly_o by_o other_o mean_n of_o composition_n as_o milan_n come_v to_o spain_n and_o ireland_n to_o ingland_n according_a as_o the_o irish_a do_v hold_v and_o so_o portugal_n have_v in_o out_o day_n come_v to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n for_o that_o beside_o his_o pretence_n and_o right_n of_o inheritance_n he_o use_v also_o force_v of_o arm_n for_o get_v the_o same_o of_o all_o these_o three_o way_n then_o evident_a it_o be_v coquest_n that_o conquest_n be_v the_o hard_a and_o most_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o subject_n for_o that_o there_o all_o stand_v at_o the_o will_n and_o clemency_n of_o the_o conqueror_n who_o either_o anger_n or_o fear_n or_o jealousy_n of_o his_o assurance_n may_v often_o drive_v to_o hold_v a_o hard_a hand_n over_o the_o conquer_a at_o least_o wise_a for_o a_o time_n until_o his_o estate_n be_v better_a settle_v so_o that_o i_o marvel_v not_o though_o no_o people_n or_o country_n common_o will_v willing_o be_v conquer_v but_o yet_o policy_n also_o teach_v such_o a_o conqueror_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v that_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n it_o behove_v he_o to_o be_v watchful_a &_o so_o to_o fortyfie_v himself_o as_o the_o unquiet_a can_v do_v he_o no_o hurt_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v it_o necessary_a by_o the_o same_o rule_n of_o policy_n to_o use_v all_o
