than_o of_o any_o generosity_n of_o heart_n but_o the_o principal_a reason_n thereof_o be_v that_o god_n who_o give_v victory_n incline_v most_o often_o to_o the_o right_n side_n and_o although_o sometime_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o wrong_n carry_v away_o the_o victory_n yet_o always_o god_n show_v by_o the_o end_n &_o issue_n according_a to_o which_o we_o must_v judge_v that_o he_o be_v fot_o the_o right_n above_o all_o the_o prince_n ought_v to_o appease_v the_o war_n in_o his_o own_o country_n whether_o country_n a_o prince_n ought_v to_o appease_v war_n in_o his_o own_o country_n they_o

prove_v so_o evil_a but_o he_o may_v provide_v good_a soldier_n in_o his_o need_n and_o especial_o this_o point_n be_v considerable_a when_o a_o princess_n subject_n be_v natural_o incline_v to_o
