viii_o day_n after_o send_v he_o again_o to_o bocchus_n when_o asper_n be_v return_v again_o to_o bocchus_n he_o show_v to_o he_o the_o will_n of_o jugurth_n say_v that_o he_o covet_v to_o do_v all_o

last_o he_o grant_v thereto_o but_o whether_o he_o doubt_v so_o long_o before_o he_o grant_v for_o subtlety_n or_o very_a truth_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o decern_v but_o this_o be_v plain_o know_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n like_o as_o the_o wylle_n &_o mind_n of_o king_n be_v vehement_a unmoderat_a and_o hasty_a right_a so_o be_v they_o movinge_v unsteadfast_a &_o variable_a and_o often_o

they_o shall_v come_v together_o of_o the_o peace_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n sometime_o he_o commune_v secret_o with_o sylla_n sometime_o with_o asper_n ambassador_n of_o jugurth_n treat_v
