come_v thereunto_o use_v it_o fierce_o and_o to_o his_o own_o commodity_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n we_o confess_v that_o our_o religion_n teach_v we_o to_o fly_v and_o despise_v such_o honour_n but_o when_o a_o man_n will_v maintain_v himself_o by_o all_o honest_a and_o lawful_a mean_n in_o a_o good_a and_o entire_a reputation_n although_o by_o such_o mean_v

our_o christian_a religion_n there_o be_v not_o forbid_v we_o such_o a_o aeffectation_n of_o honour_n and_o that_o lawful_o we_o may_v yea_o we_o ought_v to_o seek_v and_o pursue_v to_o have_v such_o a_o honour_n brief_o the_o thing_n which_o christian_n hold_v most_o precious_a and_o dear_a be_v their_o conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o their_o honour_n among_o man_n m._n philip_n de_fw-fr

with_o damage_n follow_v so_o must_v we_o say_v that_o humility_n kindness_n gentleness_n patience_n easiness_n to_o pardon_n clemency_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n which_o accord_n and_o agree_v with_o a_o humane_a and_o benign_a nature_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a magnanimity_n but_o very_o covenable_a and_o agree_v thereunto_o for_o magnanimity_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o a_o constant_a and_o perpetual_a will_n to_o employ_v himself_o courageous_o in_o all_o good_a and_o virtuous_a thing_n and_o to_o fly_v abate_v and_o chase_v away_o all_o vice_n and_o vicious_a

for_o that_o virtue_n of_o magnanimity_n be_v never_o accompany_v with_o the_o say_a vice_n neither_o receive_v they_o to_o wait_v upon_o she_o only_o she_o be_v wait_v upon_o with_o all_o other_o

man_n guard_v himself_o from_o they_o as_o from_o a_o furious_a beast_n and_o the_o first_o that_o can_v get_v he_o at_o advantage_n think_v he_o do_v good_a to_o the_o common_a weal_n when_o he_o rid_v he_o from_o the_o world_n yea_o each_o man_n watch_v to_o catch_v he_o in_o his_o snare_n therefore_o no_o man_n will_v give_v a_o prince_n so_o dangerous_a and_o so_o detestable_a counsel_n

say_v that_o his_o master_n borgia_n command_v he_o to_o do_v such_o cruel_a execution_n that_o be_v no_o good_a excuse_n because_o he_o shall_v rather_o have_v forsake_v his_o estate_n and_o

contrary_a to_o our_o accustom_a manner_n against_o any_o we_o will_v not_o that_o straight_o they_o suffer_v punishment_n nor_o that_o our_o command_n be_v straight_o way_n execute_v but_o that_o

kalend_n of_o september_n in_o the_o year_n of_o the_o consulship_n of_o antonius_n and_o syagrius_n it_o be_v then_o see_v by_o this_o law_n that_o messier_n romiro_n be_v just_o punish_v as_o a_o man_n too_o prompt_a and_o forward_a to_o execute_v cruelty_n and_o if_o this_o law_n have_v be_v well_o observe_v in_o france_n there_o have_v not_o be_v find_v so_o many_o and_o such_o rash_a

of_o they_o in_o their_o particular_a virtue_n as_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o heathen_a prince_n he_o may_v propose_v to_o imitate_v the_o clemency_n of_o julius_n caesar_n in_o use_v his_o victory_n
