which_o we_o may_v gather_v for_o our_o purpose_n that_o change_v the_o captain_n of_o the_o war_n joint_o therewith_o fortune_n do_v alter_v fidelity_n in_o one self_o kingdom_n with_o one self_o

she_o have_v use_v to_o be_v most_o favourable_a it_o be_v her_o devise_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n to_o show_v her_o cruelty_n rodrigo_n of_o vivero_n do_v say_v unto_o i_o that_o your_o honour_n be_v

that_o you_o hold_v it_o for_o so_o great_a displeasure_n that_o if_o it_o be_v with_o a_o other_o that_o be_v your_o equal_a you_o will_v demand_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n as_o a_o injury_n to_o hear_v this_o i_o do_v marvel_n &_o be_o not_o a_o little_a but_o much_o offend_v for_o i_o hold_v he_o not_o for_o a_o good_a beast_n that_o when_o they_o lade_v he_o will_v stand_v stock_n still_o and_o

my_o judgement_n it_o shall_v be_v better_a counsel_n for_o you_o to_o occupy_v yourself_o in_o bewail_v your_o old_a sin_n than_o of_o new_a to_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o enemy_n it_o be_v now_o time_n rather_o to_o weep_v than_o to_o fight_v to_o withdraw_v yourself_o than_o to_o use_v liberty_n to_o make_v a_o reckon_n with_o god_n more_o than_o with_o the_o king_n to_o accomplish_v with_o the_o soul_n and_o not_o with_o honour_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o not_o to_o provoke_v with_o enemy_n to_o distribute_v your_o own_o and_o not_o to_o take_v from_o other_o to_o conserve_v

it_o when_o you_o may_v not_o remedy_v the_o same_o your_o honour_n deceive_v yourself_o or_o else_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v for_o that_o i_o see_v you_o flee_v that_o you_o shall_v procure_v which_o be_v quietness_n and_o you_o procure_v that_o which_o you_o shall_v flee_v quietness_n which_o be_v disquietness_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o this_o world_n more_o

get_v necessary_a to_o eat_v yea_o until_o they_o have_v obtain_v also_o some_o surplusage_n also_o to_o give_v in_o my_o judgement_n they_o ought_v not_o much_o to_o be_v blame_v although_o they_o wander_v through_o out_o diverse_a kingdom_n and_o put_v themselves_o in_o great_a peril_n necessity_n for_o he_o be_v as_o much_o worthy_a reprehension_n that_o do_v not_o procure_v that_o which_o be_v necessary_a as_o he_o that_o cease_v not_o to_o provide_v that_o which_o be_v superfluous_a after_o a_o man_n have_v find_v that_o which_o he_o have_v seek_v for_o and_o also_o perchance_o it_o have_v happen_v he_o better_o than_o he_o think_v of_o house_n if_o after_o he_o be_v retire_v unto_o his_o house_n in_o great_a quietness_n will_v return_v to_o rub_v again_o with_o the_o world_n i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o speak_v it_o that_o such_o a_o one_o either_o lack_v wit_n or_o else_o fortune_n will_v be_v to_o he_o unhappy_a the_o divine_a plato_n do_v say_v in_o his_o book_n of_o common_a wealth_n that_o fortune_n be_v more_o contrary_a unto_o that_o man_n that_o he_o do_v not_o suffer_v to_o enjoy_v that_o which_o he_o have_v than_o unto_o he_o to_o who_o he_o deny_v what_o he_o crave_v i_o do_v beseech_v and_o also_o advise_v your_o honour_n that_o after_o you_o have_v red_a this_o sentence_n that_o you_o turn_v again_o and_o again_o too_o read_v the_o same_o for_o in_o my_o judgement_n this_o sentence_n of_o plato_n be_v very_o true_a and_o very_o profound_a and_o also_o use_v of_o many_o for_o almost_o we_o see_v it_o by_o daily_a experience_n that_o many_o man_n

that_o afterwards_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o to_o enjoy_v the_o victory_n if_o in_o the_o great_a renown_a battle_n of_o canas_n hannibal_n have_v know_v how_o to_o enjoy_v the_o conquest_n
