you_o may_v do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a to_o mankind_n by_o the_o advice_n that_o you_o will_v give_v and_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a design_n that_o every_o good_a man_n ought_v to_o propose_v to_o himself_o in_o live_v for_o whereas_o your_o friend_n plato_n think_v that_o then_o nation_n will_v be_v happy_a when_o either_o philosopher_n become_v king_n or_o king_n become_v philosopher_n no_o wonder_n if_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o happiness_n if_o philosopher_n will_v not_o think_v it_o fit_a for_o they_o to_o assist_v king_n with_o their_o counsel_n they_o be_v not_o so_o base_a mind_v say_v he_o but_o that_o they_o will_v willing_o do_v it_o many_o of_o they_o have_v already_o do_v it_o by_o their_o book_n if_o these_o that_o be_v in_o power_n will_v hearken_v to_o their_o good_a advice_n but_o plato_n judge_v right_a that_o except_o king_n themselves_o become_v philosopher_n it_o can_v never_o be_v bring_v about_o that_o they_o who_o from_o their_o childhood_n be_v corrupt_v with_o false_a notion_n shall_v fall_v in_o entire_o with_o the_o counsel_n of_o philosopher_n which_o he_o himself_o find_v to_o be_v true_a in_o the_o person_n of_o dionysius_n do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o if_o i_o be_v about_o any_o king_n and_o be_v propose_v good_a law_n to_o he_o and_o endeavour_v to_o root_v out_o of_o he_o all_o the_o curse_a seed_n of_o evil_n that_o i_o find_v in_o he_o i_o shall_v either_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o his_o court_n or_o at_o least_o be_v laugh_v at_o for_o my_o pain_n for_o instance_n what_o can_v i_o signify_v if_o i_o be_v about_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o be_v call_v into_o his_o cabinet-council_n where_o several_a wise_a man_n do_v in_o his_o hear_n propose_v many_o expedient_n as_o by_o what_o art_n

to_o his_o empire_n one_o propose_v a_o league_n with_o the_o venetian_n to_o be_v keep_v as_o long_o as_o he_o find_v his_o account_n in_o it_o and_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o communicate_v council_n with_o they_o and_o give_v they_o some_o share_n of_o the_o spoil_n till_o his_o success_n make_v he_o need_v or_o fear_v they_o less_o and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v easy_o take_v out_o of_o their_o

think_v the_o prince_n of_o castille_n be_v to_o be_v wrought_v on_o by_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o alliance_n and_o that_o some_o of_o his_o courtier_n be_v to_o be_v gain_v to_o the_o french_a faction_n by_o pension_n the_o hard_a point_n of_o all_o be_v what_o to_o do_v with_o england_n a_o treaty_n of_o peace_n be_v to_o be_v set_v on_o foot_n and_o if_o their_o alliance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v

that_o of_o gain_v it_o for_o the_o conquer_a people_n will_v be_v still_o apt_a to_o rebel_v or_o be_v expose_v to_o foreign_a invasion_n so_o that_o they_o must_v always_o be_v in_o war_n either_o for_o they_o or_o against_o they_o and_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v never_o disband_v their_o army_n that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n tax_n lay_v heavy_a on_o they_o that_o money_n go_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o their_o blood_n be_v sacrifice_v to_o their_o king_n glory_n and_o that_o they_o be_v nothing_o the_o better_a by_o it_o even_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n their_o manner_n be_v

be_v too_o great_a a_o people_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o a_o divide_a king_n since_o no_o man_n will_v willing_o have_v a_o groom_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o common_a between_o he_o and_o another_o upon_o which_o the_o good_a prince_n be_v force_v to_o quit_v his_o new_a kingdom_n to_o one_o of_o his_o friend_n who_o be_v not_o long_o after_o dethrone_v and_o to_o be_v content_v with_o his_o

that_o must_v follow_v they_o perhaps_o upon_o some_o misfortune_n they_o may_v be_v force_v to_o throw_v up_o all_o at_o last_o therefore_o it_o seem_v much_o more_o eligible_a that_o the_o king_n shall_v improve_v his_o ancient_a kingdom_n all_o he_o can_v and_o make_v it_o flourish_v as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a that_o he_o shall_v love_v his_o people_n and_o be_v belove_v of_o they_o that_o he_o shall_v live_v among_o they_o and_o govern_v they_o gentle_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v let_v other_o kingdom_n alone_o since_o that_o which_o have_v fall_v to_o his_o share_n be_v big_a enough_o if_o not_o too_o big_a for_o he_o pray_o how_o do_v you_o think_v will_v such_o a_o speech_n as_o this_o be_v hear_v i_o confess_v say_v i_o i_o think_v not_o very_o well_o but_o what_o say_v he_o if_o i_o shall_v sort_v with_o another_o kind_n of_o minister_n who_o chief_a contrivance_n and_o consultation_n be_v by_o what_o art_n treasure_n may_v be_v heap_v up_o where_o one_o propose_v the_o cry_v up_o of_o money_n when_o the_o king_n have_v a_o great_a debt_n on_o he_o and_o the_o cry_v it_o down_o as_o much_o when_o his_o revenue_n be_v to_o come_v in_o that_o so_o he_o may_v both_o pay_n much_o with_o a_o little_a and_o in_o a_o little_a receive_v a_o great_a deal_n another_o propose_v a_o pretence_n of_o a_o war_n that_o so_o money_n may_v be_v raise_v in_o order_n to_o the_o carry_v it_o on_o and_o that_o a_o peace_n may_v be_v conclude_v as_o soon_o as_o that_o be_v do_v and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v make_v up_o with_o such_o appearance_n of_o religion_n as_o may_v work_v on_o the_o people_n and_o make_v they_o impute_v it_o to_o the_o piety_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o to_o his_o tenderness_n of_o the_o life_n of_o his_o subject_n a_o three_o offer_v some_o

of_o discovery_n when_o he_o that_o can_v best_o make_v it_o be_v put_v out_o of_o the_o way_n so_o that_o the_o terrify_a thief_n too_o much_o provoke_v they_o to_o cruelty_n but_o as_o to_o the_o question_n what_o more_o convenient_a way_n of_o punishment_n can_v be_v find_v i_o think_v it_o be_v much_o easy_a to_o find_v out_o that_o than_o to_o invent_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v worse_a why_o shall_v we_o doubt_v but_o the_o way_n that_o be_v so_o long_o in_o use_n among_o the_o old_a roman_n who_o understand_v so_o well_o the_o art_n of_o government_n be_v very_o proper_a for_o their_o punishment_n they_o condemn_v such_o as_o they_o find_v guilty_a of_o great_a crime_n to_o work_v their_o whole_a life_n in_o quarry_n or_o to_o dig_v in_o mine_n with_o chain_n about_o they_o but_o the_o method_n that_o i_o like_v best_a be_v that_o which_o i_o observe_v in_o my_o travel_n in_o persia_n among_o the_o polylerit_n who_o be_v a_o considerable_a and_o well-governed_a people_n they_o pay_v a_o yearly_a tribute_n to_o the_o king_n of_o persia_n but_o in_o all_o other_o respect_v they_o be_v a_o free_a nation_n and_o govern_v by_o their_o own_o law_n they_o lie_v far_o from_o the_o sea_n and_o be_v environ_v with_o hill_n and_o be_v content_v with_o the_o production_n of_o their_o own_o country_n which_o be_v very_o fruitful_a they_o have_v little_a commerce_n with_o any_o other_o nation_n and_o as_o they_o according_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o their_o country_n have_v no_o appetite_n of_o enlarge_n their_o border_n so_o their_o mountain_n and_o the_o pension_n that_o they_o pay_v to_o the_o persian_a secure_v they_o from_o all_o invasion_n thus_o they_o have_v no_o war_n among_o they_o they_o live_v rather_o convenient_o than_o splendid_o and_o may_v be_v rather_o call_v a_o happy_a nation_n than_o either_o eminent_a or_o famous_a for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o they_o be_v know_v so_o much_o as_o by_o name_n to_o any_o but_o their_o next_o neighbour_n those_o that_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o theft_n among_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v restitution_n to_o the_o owner_n and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o place_n to_o the_o prince_n for_o they_o reckon_v that_o the_o prince_n have_v no_o more_o right_a to_o the_o steal_v good_n then_o the_o thief_n but_o if_o that_o which_o be_v steal_v be_v no_o more_o in_o be_v than_o the_o good_n of_o the_o thief_n be_v estimate_v and_o restitution_n be_v make_v out_o of_o they_o the_o remainder_n be_v give_v to_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o they_o themselves_o be_v condemn_v to_o
