of_o democrates_n when_o those_o who_o come_v to_o interrogate_v he_o be_v go_v he_o make_v reflection_n upon_o the_o letter_n they_o have_v show_v he_o by_o which_o he_o understand_v that_o the_o

so_o unworthy_a a_o man_n of_o honour_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o tell_v all_o he_o know_v and_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v to_o make_v himself_o a_o

not_o to_o accuse_v a_o man_n of_o the_o quality_n of_o sestianes_n without_o any_o proof_n and_o upon_o a_o simple_a conjecture_n and_o that_o if_o the_o evil_a treatment_n he_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o prince_n theomedes_n make_v his_o enemy_n believe_v it_o be_v he_o who_o have_v conspire_v against_o he_o it_o be_v a_o motive_n strong_a enough_o to_o make_v his_o friend_n believe_v that_o he_o be_v suspect_v unjust_o and_o that_o without_o know_v the_o truth_n will_v be_v to_o draw_v consequence_n to_o his_o disadvantage_n absolute_o contrary_a to_o his_o glory_n and_o

of_o the_o most_o shameful_a and_o horrid_a baseness_n in_o the_o world_n this_o generous_a person_n do_v not_o resemble_v those_o who_o can_v hate_v the_o object_n they_o have_v love_v and_o who_o
