accident_n and_o chance_n that_o do_v follow_v the_o same_o but_o those_o have_v very_o evil_a hope_n that_o abase_v and_o entangle_v themselves_o in_o thing_n of_o small_a importance_n whereof_o

do_v burden_n himself_o with_o a_o great_a fault_n my_o opinion_n therefore_o be_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o give_v the_o office_n of_o instruct_v his_o son_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o other_o

requisite_a for_o he_o to_o be_v full_a of_o valour_n and_o very_o fortunate_a but_o to_o be_v the_o master_n and_o instructor_n of_o a_o prince_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o be_v endow_v with_o
