concern_v the_o resist_n of_o tyrant_n who_o usurp_v a_o dominion_n without_o any_o title_n who_o every_o man_n may_v just_o resist_v and_o suppress_v and_o be_v bind_v in_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v as_o he_o there_o prove_v at_o large_a i_o shall_v only_o transcribe_v what_o concern_v they_o who_o have_v a_o lawful_a title_n first_o say_v he_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v that_o all_o prince_n be_v bear_v man_n we_o can_v therefore_o expect_v to_o have_v only_o perfect_a prince_n but_o rather_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v it_o well_o with_o we_o if_o we_o have_v gain_v but_o indifferent_a one_o therefore_o the_o prince_n shall_v not_o present_o be_v a_o tyrant_n if_o he_o keep_v not_o measure_v in_o some_o thing_n if_o now_o and_o then_o he_o obey_v not_o reason_n if_o he_o more_o slow_o seek_v the_o public_a good_a if_o he_o be_v less_o diligent_a in_o administer_a justice_n or_o less_o fierce_a in_o propulse_v war_n for_o see_v a_o man_n be_v not_o set_v over_o man_n as_o if_o he_o be_v some_o god_n as_o he_o be_v over_o beast_n but_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n bear_v in_o the_o same_o condition_n with_o they_o as_o that_o prince_n shall_v be_v proud_a who_o will_v abuse_v man_n like_o beast_n so_o that_o people_n shall_v be_v unjust_a who_o shall_v seek_v a_o god_n in_o a_o prince_n and_o a_o divinity_n in_o this_o frail_a nature_n but_o true_o if_o he_o shall_v willing_o subvert_v the_o republic_n if_o he_o shall_v wilful_o pervert_v the_o law_n if_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o care_n of_o his_o faith_n none_o of_o his_o promise_n none_o of_o justice_n none_o of_o piety_n if_o himself_o become_v a_o enemy_n of_o his_o people_n or_o shall_v use_v all_o or_o the_o chief_a note_n we_o have_v mention_v then_o very_o he_o may_v be_v judge_v a_o tyrant_n that_o be_v a_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o man_n therefore_o we_o treat_v not_o of_o a_o prince_n less_o good_a but_o of_o the_o worst_a not_o of_o one_o less_o prudent_a but_o of_o a_o malicious_a and_o subtle_a one_o not_o of_o one_o unskilful_a in_o law_n but_o of_o a_o contemner_n of_o law_n not_o of_o a_o unwarlike_a one_o but_o of_o a_o enemy_n of_o the_o people_n and_o waster_n of_o the_o realm_n a_o senate_n may_v assist_v he_o with_o prudence_n a_o judge_n with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n a_o captain_n in_o the_o skillfulness_n of_o war_n but_o this_o man_n wish_v the_o noble_n senators_z captain_n of_o war_n one_o neck_n that_o he_o may_v cut_v they_o off_o at_o one_o stroke_n neither_o hate_v he_o any_o more_o than_o they_o the_o first_o very_o though_o he_o may_v lawful_o be_v remove_v yet_o however_o he_o may_v be_v tolerate_v the_o latter_a contrary_o by_o how_o much_o the_o long_o he_o be_v tolerate_v the_o more_o intolerable_a he_o become_v moreover_o as_o every_o thing_n be_v not_o lawful_a to_o a_o prince_n so_o often_o time_n that_o which_o be_v lawful_a to_o the_o people_n be_v not_o expedient_a for_o frequent_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o the_o remedy_n which_o be_v use_v may_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o disease_n therefore_o it_o become_v a_o wise_a man_n to_o try_v all_o thing_n before_o he_o use_v the_o hot_a iron_n and_o use_v all_o remedy_n before_o he_o take_v up_o arme●_n if_o therefore_o those_o who_o represent_v the_o people_n perceive_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v against_o the_o republic_n by_o force_n or_o fraud_n let_v they_o first_o admonish_v the_o prince_n neither_o may_v they_o expect_v till_o the_o mischief_n grow_v heavy_a and_o acquire_v force_n tyranny_n be_v like_o a_o heptick_a fever_n which_o at_o first_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v cure_v difficult_a to_o be_v discern_v afterward_o it_o become_v easy_a to_o be_v know_v but_o very_o difficult_a to_o be_v cure_v therefore_o they_o shall_v withstand_v the_o beginning_n neither_o shall_v they_o pretermit_v any_o thing_n though_o the_o small_a but_o if_o he_o shall_v proceed_v and_o not_o repent_v though_o frequent_o admonish_v but_o tend_v only_o to_o this_o that_o he_o may_v commit_v any_o thing_n without_o punishment_n then_o very_o he_o be_v real_o guilty_a of_o tyranny_n and_o they_o may_v act_v against_o he_o whatsoever_o they_o may_v use_v against_o a_o tyrant_n either_o by_o law_n or_o just_a force_n tyranny_n be_v not_o only_o a_o crime_n but_o the_o head_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o heap_n of_o all_o crime_n a_o tyrant_n subvert_v the_o republic_n make_v a_o prey_n of_o all_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o the_o life_n of_o all_o violate_v faith_n to_o all_o contemn_v all_o the_o religion_n of_o a_o sacred_a oath_n therefore_o be_v he_o so_o much_o more_o wicked_a than_o any_o thief_n murderer_n sacrilegious_a person_n by_o how_o much_o it_o be_v the_o more_o grievous_a to_o offend_v many_o and_o all_o then_o particular_a person_n now_o if_o all_o these_o be_v repute_v enemy_n if_o they_o be_v capital_o punish_v if_o they_o suffer_v pain_n of_o death_n can_v any_o one_o invent_v a_o punishment_n worthy_a so_o horrid_a a_o crime_n moreover_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o all_o king_n receive_v their_o royal_a dignity_n from_o the_o people_n that_o all_o the_o people_n be_v better_o and_o high_a than_o the_o king_n that_o the_o king_n be_v only_o the_o superior_a minister_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o emperor_n of_o the_o empire_n but_o the_o people_n be_v the_o true_a head_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o a_o tyrant_n who_o commit_v felony_n against_o the_o people_n as_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o fee_n hurt_v the_o sacred_a majesty_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o empire_n become_v a_o rebel_n and_o therefore_o fall_v into_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o same_o law_n and_o demerit_n more_o grievous_a punishment_n therefore_o say_v bartolus_n he_o may_v be_v depose_v by_o a_o superior_a or_o be_v most_o just_o punish_v by_o the_o julian_n law_n for_o public_a violence_n now_o all_o the_o people_n or_o those_o who_o represent_v they_o as_o elector_n palatine_n nobles_n the_o assembly_n of_o the_o estate_n etc._n etc._n be_v his_o superior_a but_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v proceed_v so_o far_o that_o he_o can_v be_v expel_v but_o by_o arm_a violence_n then_o very_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o call_v the_o people_n to_o arm_n to_o raise_v a_o army_n and_o to_o practice_v force_n policy_n stratagem_n as_o against_o a_o adjudge_v enemy_n of_o his_o country_n and_o of_o the_o commonweal_n neither_o shall_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o realm_n in_o this_o case_n fall_v into_o the_o crime_n of_o sedition_n for_o in_o a_o sedition_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v two_o point_n which_o when_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o contend_v about_o contradictory_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o one_o be_v just_a the_o other_o unjust_a that_o cause_n must_v very_o be_v just_a which_o defend_v the_o law●_n which_o protect_v the_o common_a good_a which_o shall_v preserve_v the_o realm_n especial_o by_o this_o mean_n contrary_o that_o cause_n be_v unjust_a which_o violate_v the_o law_n defend_v the_o breaker_n of_o the_o law_n protect_v the_o subverter_n of_o the_o country_n that_o be_v just_a which_o will_v destroy_v tyrannical_a government_n that_o unjust_a which_o will_v abolish_v just_a government_n that_o lawful_a which_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a good_a that_o unlawful_a which_o tend_v to_o the_o private_a therefore_o say_v thomas_n because_o a_o
