why_o that_o prince_n who_o come_v to_o his_o kingdom_n by_o some_o of_o the_o nobility_n or_o senate_n shall_v more_o hardly_o keep_v it_o than_o another_o who_o obtain_v the_o crown_n by_o the_o

and_o authority_n among_o his_o own_o people_n at_o home_n or_o may_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o that_o by_o this_o mean_n all_o 30._o all_o mach._n disput_fw-la lib._n 1._o cap._n 30._o

and_o commit_v the_o manage_n of_o those_o affair_n to_o their_o general_n they_o straight_o way_n imagine_v that_o if_o their_o force_n shall_v prevail_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o day_n shall_v rest_v
