for_o when_o equal_a orator_n do_v combat_n with_o contrary_a opinion_n and_o speech_n the_o conquer_a hate_v the_o conqueror_n and_o all_o those_o that_o be_v of_o his_o side_n as_o hold_v his_o

of_o their_o own_o opinion_n at_o another_o sit_v to_o make_v the_o strong_a party_n the_o chief_a head_n do_v call_v the_o rest_n together_o they_o advise_v a_o part_n how_o they_o may_v abrogate_v

that_o the_o same_o business_n may_v again_o be_v bring_v to_o agitation_n that_o so_o what_o be_v confirm_v before_o by_o the_o number_n of_o their_o then_o present_a adversary_n the_o same_o may_v

be_v common_o call_v a_o faction_n but_o when_o a_o faction_n be_v inferior_a in_o vote_n and_o superior_a or_o not_o much_o inferior_a in_o power_n than_o what_o they_o can_v obtain_v by_o craft_n
