the_o first_o point_n that_o a_o prince_n make_v himself_o easy_o and_o well_o obey_v when_o the_o will_n of_o his_o subject_n be_v of_o themselves_o obey_v a_o clement_a prince_n better_o obey_v well_o dispose_v to_o yield_v obedience_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a when_o a_o prince_n be_v debonair_a and_o clement_a that_o his_o subject_n will_v be_v always_o well_o dispose_v to_o obey_v he_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o one_o because_o he_o shall_v be_v belove_v &_o the_o amity_n which_o his_o subject_n bear_v he_o shall_v incite_v and_o stir_v they_o more_o willing_o to_o obey_v he_o the_o other_o reason_n because_o be_v soft_a and_o gentle_a his_o command_n also_o be_v sweet_a and_o gracious_a found_v upon_o reason_n and_o equity_n and_o this_o will_v cause_v they_o easy_o to_o yield_v obedience_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o enduce_v a_o subject_a to_o render_v his_o prince_n obedience_n and_o to_o obey_v his_o command_n than_o when_o themselves_o do_v see_v and_o

custom_n and_o liberty_n and_o to_o have_v their_o people_n advice_n of_o such_o law_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n they_o make_v very_o covenable_a law_n for_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o macedonian_n which_o they_o find_v good_a holy_a and_o equal_a and_o they_o willing_o obey_v and_o observe_v they_o with_o good_a heart_n without_o any_o constraint_n and_o assure_o this_o be_v
