of_o army_n if_o you_o will_v all_o voluntary_o lay_v they_o down_o that_o be_v in_o your_o power_n therefore_o let_v we_o first_o of_o all_o consult_v of_o that_o and_o then_o i_o will_v speak_v what_o remain_v have_v by_o these_o word_n let_v they_o know_v that_o they_o ought_v rather_o to_o think_v of_o themselves_o than_o of_o caesar_n he_o be_v silent_a and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n
