the_o face_n of_o thing_n be_v change_v every_o day_n many_o public_a minister_n lose_v themselves_o in_o rome_n because_o they_o know_v well_o where_o they_o be_v but_o not_o with_o who_o they_o be_v for_o whilst_o they_o think_v they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o monarchy_n of_o a_o sudden_a they_o meet_v with_o a_o republic_n and_o a_o senate_n and_o when_o they_o imagine_v to_o be_v engage_v

and_o back_o again_o because_o indeed_o the_o government_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o monarchy_n without_o a_o head_n and_o a_o commonwealth_n without_o counsellor_n and_o thus_o even_o they_o that_o

before_o they_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v that_o in_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n through_o a_o long_a experience_n even_o the_o dull_a and_o raw_a politician_n do_v become_v at_o

my_o friend_n compare_v this_o court_n to_o the_o sea_n for_o as_o it_o receive_v in_o its_o bosom_n all_o the_o river_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o be_v by_o they_o fill_v and_o swell_v fill_v they_o again_o from_o who_o it_o receive_v its_o plenty_n so_o rome_n do_v as_o it_o be_v suck_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n their_o pure_a milk_n of_o policy_n and_o distribute_v it_o again_o like_o a_o kind_a mother_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v content_a with_o the_o appellation_n of_o its_o child_n indeed_o as_o for_o the_o suck_a part_n i_o think_v my_o friend_n be_v much_o in_o the_o right_a for_o churchmen_n lip_n be_v so_o fit_a for_o this_o function_n that_o they_o lose_v not_o one_o drop_n but_o as_o for_o the_o distributive_a part_n they_o make_v it_o a_o more_o difficult_a thing_n than_o he_o or_o other_o will_v imagine_v neither_o do_v i_o wonder_v at_o it_o for_o when_o they_o deal_v with_o other_o they_o always_o propose_v to_o they_o the_o zeal_n of_o

which_o no_o body_n can_v discover_v but_o themselves_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o a_o good_a politician_n may_v receive_v some_o benefit_n by_o dive_v into_o that_o which_o they_o so_o much_o
