herself_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v consider_v as_o i_o can_v not_o have_v choose_v a_o instance_n so_o recent_a and_o so_o proper_a so_o i_o suppose_v i_o can_v not_o have_v choose_v one_o more_o remarqueable_a or_o eminent_a to_o the_o purpose_n now_o in_o hand_n which_o be_v concern_v the_o conjunction_n of_o learning_n in_o the_o prince_n with_o felicity_n in_o the_o people_n neither_o

it_o have_v no_o less_o power_n and_o efficacy_n in_o inablement_n towards_o martial_a and_o military_a virtue_n and_o prowess_n as_o may_v be_v notable_o represent_v in_o the_o example_n of_o alexander_n the_o great_a and_o caesar_z the_o dictator_n mention_v before_o but_o now_o in_o fit_a place_n to_o be_v resume_v of_o who_o virtue_n and_o act_n in_o war_n there_o need_v no_o note_n or_o recital_n have_v be_v the_o wonder_n of_o time_n in_o that_o kind_n but_o of_o their_o affection_n towards_o learning_n and_o perfection_n in_o learning_n it_o be_v pertinent_a to_o say_v somewhat_o alexander_n be_v breed_v and_o teach_v under_o aristotle_n the_o great_a philosopher_n who_o dedicate_v diverse_a of_o his_o book_n of_o philosophy_n unto_o he_o he_o be_v attend_v with_o callisthenes_n and_o diverse_a other_o learned_a person_n that_o follow_v he_o in_o camp_n throughout_o his_o journey_n and_o conquest_n what_o price_n and_o estimation_n he_o have_v learning_n in_o do_v notable_o appear_v in_o these_o three_o particular_n first_o in_o the_o envy_n he_o use_v to_o express_v that_o he_o bear_v towards_o achilles_n in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v so_o good_a a_o trumpet_n of_o his_o praise_n as_o homer_n verse_n second_o in_o the_o judgement_n or_o solution_n he_o give_v touch_v that_o precious_a cabinet_n of_o darius_n which_o be_v find_v among_o his_o jewel_n whereof_o question_n be_v make_v what_o thing_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v put_v into_o it_o and_o he_o give_v his_o opinion_n for_o homer_n work_n three_o in_o his_o letter_n to_o aristotle_n after_o he_o have_v set_v forth_o his_o book_n of_o nature_n wherein_o he_o expostulate_v with_o he_o for_o publish_v the_o secret_n or_o mystery_n of_o philosophy_n and_o give_v he_o to_o understand_v that_o himself_o esteem_v it_o more_o to_o excel_v other_o man_n in_o learning_n &_o knowledge_n than_o in_o power_n and_o empire_n and_o what_o use_v he_o have_v of_o learning_n do_v appear_v or_o tather_o shine_v in_o all_o his_o speech_n and_o answer_n be_v full_a of_o science_n and_o use_n of_o science_n and_o that_o in_o all_o variety_n and_o herein_o again_o it_o may_v seem_v a_o thing_n scholastical_a and_o somewhat_o idle_a to_o recite_v thing_n that_o every_o man_n know_v but_o yet_o since_o the_o argument_n i_o handle_v lead_v i_o thereunto_o i_o be_o glad_a that_o man_n shall_v perceive_v i_o be_o as_o willing_a to_o flatter_v if_o they_o will_v so_o call_v it_o a_o alexander_n or_o a_o caesar_n or_o a_o antoninus_n that_o be_v dead_a many_o hundred_o year_n since_o as_o any_o that_o now_o live_v for_o it_o be_v the_o display_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o learning_n in_o sovereignty_n that_o i_o propound_v to_o myself_o and_o not_o a_o humour_n of_o declaym_v in_o any_o man_n praise_n observe_v then_o the_o speech_n he_o use_v of_o diogenes_n and_o see_v if_o it_o tend_v not_o to_o the_o true_a state_n of_o one_o of_o the_o great_a question_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n whether_o the_o enjoy_n of_o outward_a thing_n or_o the_o contemn_v of_o they_o be_v the_o great_a happiness_n for_o when_o he_o see_v diogenes_n so_o perfect_o content_v with_o so_o

alexander_n can_v have_v give_v or_o enjoy_v observe_v again_o that_o speech_n which_o be_v usual_a with_o he_o that_o he_o feel_v his_o mortality_n chief_o in_o two_o thing_n sleep_v &_o lust_n &_o see_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o speech_n extract_v out_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o like_a to_o have_v come_fw-mi out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o aristotle_n or_o democritus_n than_o from_o alexander_n see_v again_o that_o speech_n of_o humanity_n and_o poesy_n when_o upon_o the_o bleed_a of_o his_o wound_n he_o call_v unto_o he_o one_o of_o his_o flatterer_n that_o be_v

when_o it_o be_v pierce_v by_o diomedes_n see_v likewise_o his_o readiness_n in_o reprehension_n of_o logic_n in_o the_o speech_n he_o use_v to_o cassander_n upon_o a_o complaint_n that_o be_v make_v against_o his_o father_n antipater_n for_o when_o alexander_n happen_v to_o say_v do_v you_o think_v these_o man_n will_v have_v come_v from_o so_o far_o to_o complain_v except_o they_o have_v just_a cause_n of_o grief_n and_o cassander_n answer_v yea_o that_o be_v the_o matter_n because_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v disproove_v say_v alexander_n laugh_v see_v the_o subtil●…ies_n of_o

his_o own_o humour_n when_o bear_v a_o secret_a grudge_n to_o callisthenes_n because_o he_o be_v against_o the_o new_a ceremony_n of_o his_o adoration_n feast_v one_o night_n where_o the_o same_o callisthenes_n be_v at_o the_o table_n it_o be_v move_v by_o some_o after_o supper_n for_o entertainment_n sake_n that_o callisthenes_n who_o be_v a_o eloquent_a man_n may_v speak_v of_o some_o theme_n or_o purpose_n at_o his_o own_o choice_n which_o callisthenes_n do_v choose_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o macedonian_a nation_n for_o his_o discourse_n &_o perform_v the_o same_o with_o so_o good_a manner_n as_o the_o hearer_n be_v much_o ravish_v whereupon_o alexander_n nothing_o please_v say_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v eloquent_a upon_o so_o good_a a_o subject_n but_o say_v he_o turn_v
