the_o government_n of_o citizen_n be_v both_o the_o hard_a to_o be_v conquer_v and_o the_o hard_a to_o be_v hold_v my_o author_n reason_n why_o a_o government_n of_o servant_n be_v the_o hard_a to_o

upon_o advantage_n or_o innovation_n whence_o he_o that_o invade_v the_o turk_n must_v trust_v to_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o not_o rely_v upon_o disorder_n in_o the_o government_n or_o force_n which_o he_o shall_v be_v sure_a enough_o to_o find_v unite_v his_o reason_n why_o this_o government_n be_v once_o break_v be_v easy_o hold_v be_v that_o the_o arm_n once_o past_a hope_n of_o rally_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o family_n hang_v together_o or_o nobility_n to_o stir_v up_o their_o dependent_n to_o further_o reluctancy_n for_o the_o present_a or_o to_o preserve_v

he_o and_o his_o captain_n after_o he_o can_v hold_v it_o without_o the_o least_o dispute_n except_o it_o arise_v among_o themselves_o hence_o mahomet_n the_o second_o have_v take_v constantinople_n
