reward_n as_o well_o as_o punishment_n thy_o justice_n man_n desert_n to_o weigh_v be_v bend_v that_o it_o may_v give_v to_o every_o man_n his_o own_o nor_o favour_n more_o the_o courtier_n than_o the_o clown_n and_o that_o thou_o see_v they_o as_o thyself_o beiu_v who_o to_o do_v justice_n thou_o shall_v put_v in_o trust_n that_o spider_n web_n they_o make_v not_o law_n betoken_v which_o

head_n to_o cram_v the_o crew_n that_o write_v report_n and_o plead_v that_o from_o pretence_n of_o conscience_n and_o law_n decree_v against_o they_o both_o they_o may_v not_o draw_v that_o

safety_n send_v so_o may_v thy_o subject_n thou_o thou_o they_o protect_v and_o may_v thy_o justice_n none_o of_o they_o neglect_n that_o when_o thou_o shall_v thy_o royal_a sire_n succeed_v thy_o justice_n may_v thou_o love_v and_o glory_n breed_v but_o for_o that_o justice_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o rack_n if_o mercy_n make_v it_o not_o with_o measure_n slack_a i_o wish_v that_o thou_o do_v clemency_n embrace_v as_o best_o resemble_v god_n in_o such_o a_o case_n that_o man_n to_o love_v thou_o rather_o thou_o allure_v by_o mercy_n then_o by_o rigour_n awe_n procure_v that_o thou_o sometime_o thy_o clemency_n extend_v where_o there_o be_v hope_v the_o offender_n will_v amend_v and_o when_o as_o thence_o no_o public_a scandal_n grow_v nor_o wrong_v to_o any_o private_a person_n flow_v or_o when_o the_o fault_n concern_v thou_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o thence_o to_o thou_o no_o danger_n may_v arise_v that_o rather_o in_o thy_o own_o than_o other_o wrong_v to_o true_a remorse_n thy_o mercy_n do_v belong_v that_o wilful_a malice_n with_o far_o great_a terror_n thou_o punish_v then_o weak_a frailty_n or_o blind_a error_n that_o thou_o as_o above_o slander_n reach_v contemn_v the_o sland'rer_n make_v he_o himself_o condemn_v as_o philip_n julius_n august_n antonine_n vespasian_n do_v who_o glory_n still_o do_v shine_v that_o thou_o delight_v man_n to_o relieve_v and_o spare_v but_o punish_v they_o with_o grief_n that_o guilty_a be_v yet_o temper_n so_o in_o country_n court_n and_o city_n thy_o mercy_n as_o it_o prove_v not_o foolish_a pity_n that_o when_o thou_o shall_v this_o virtue_n put_v in_o ure_n with_o honour_n safety_n it_o may_v thou_o procure_v then_o wish_v i_o that_o as_o justice_n thou_o shall_v cherish_v and_o clemency_n her_o sister_n so_o thou_o nourish_v faith_n in_o perform_v promise_n the_o prop_n of_o justice_n and_o of_o honour_n height_n the_o top_n that_o for_o a_o certain_a truth_n thou_o understand_v this_o virtue_n rare_a to_o be_v the_o sure_a band_n of_o friendship_n commerce_n and_o society_n and_o true_a badge_n of_o moral_a honesty_n that_o thou_o in_o word_n and_o practice_n it_o observe_v and_o never_o from_o it_o be_v induce_v to_o swerve_v and_o that_o not_o only_o for_o thy_o wish_a end_n thou_o keep_v thy_o promise_n or_o for_o love_n to_o friend_n but_o also_o to_o thy_o foe_n for_o virtue_n sake_n whereby_o of_o foe_n thy_o friend_n thou_o may_v they_o make_v that_o thou_o but_o for_o some_o urgent_a cause_n be_v loath_a to_o engage_v thyself_o by_o word_n but_o more_o by_o oath_n but_o that_o when_o thou_o shall_v do_v it_o no_o respect_n thy_o plight_a faith_n induce_v thou_o to_o neglect_v so_o as_o thy_o promise_n just_a and_o lawful_a be_v which_o ever_o to_o be_v such_o thou_o must_v foresee_v that_o thy_o respect_n of_o honesty_n and_o fame_n may_v win_v thou_o of_o a_o faithful_a prince_n the_o name_n that_o such_o perfidious_a counsel_n thou_o detest_v as_o will_v remove_v this_o virtue_n from_o thy_o breast_n since_o not_o the_o purchase_n of_o a_o diadem_n can_v countervail_v the_o loss_n of_o such_o a_o gem_n and_o since_o no_o virtue_n to_o a_o prince_n or_o king_n more_o love_n do_v purchase_v then_o his_o bounty_n spring_n and_o fountain_n of_o his_o bountiful_a reward_n and_o princely_a gift_n thy_o honour_n who_o regard_v can_v but_o wish_v thou_o to_o be_v liberal_a and_o so_o do_v i_o yet_o wish_v i_o therewithal_o that_o judgement_n may_v thy_o bounty_n so_o direct_a as_o therein_o be_v no_o notable_a defect_n nor_o great_a excess_n both_o which_o extremity_n be_v vice_n that_o do_v blind_a man_n inward_a eye_n and_o make_v they_o without_o measure_n spend_v or_o spare_v wherefore_o i_o wish_v that_o with_o a_o heedful_a care_n thou_o to_o the_o golden_a mean_v thyself_o apply_v in_o be_v frugal_a and_o not_o niggardly_a as_o also_o that_o thou_o spend_v with_o a_o due_a measure_n and_o not_o exhaust_v by_o lavish_v thy_o treasure_n that_o order_v so_o thy_o bounty_n by_o proportion_n thou_o never_o need_v supply_v it_o with_o extortion_n that_o thrift_n thy_o bounty_n treasurer_n thou_o make_v that_o man_n of_o merit_n may_v thereof_o partake_v to_o wit_n such_o as_o for_o service_n do_v deserve_v or_o they_o who_o can_v thou_o and_o their_o country_n serve_v that_o thy_o reward_n for_o service_n place_n may_v have_v before_o thy_o gift_n as_o equity_n do_v crave_v yet_o that_o thy_o bounty_n also_o thou_o extend_v to_o man_n distress_v and_o for_o thy_o honour_n spend_v in_o all_o occasion_n that_o may_v it_o advance_v and_o namely_o in_o the_o princely_a maintenance_n of_o thy_o estate_n and_o court_n in_o every_o thing_n which_o may_v neglect_v stain_v to_o honour_n bring_v and_o that_o too_o much_o thou_o do_v not_o give_v to_o any_o that_o thou_o thereby_o may_v give_v the_o more_o to_o many_o that_o impudence_n and_o importunity_n may_v not_o extort_v thy_o liberality_n but_o that_o thou_o free_o most_o on_o they_o bestow_v who_o best_a deserve_v although_o in_o ask_v slow_a and_o that_o to_o such_o as_o by_o thy_o gift_n will_v thrive_v much_o rather_o then_o to_o spendthrift_n thou_o do_v give_v that_o where_o to_o impart_v thy_o bounty_n thou_o have_v reason_n thou_o do_v not_o long_o delay_v but_o give_v in_o season_n that_o as_o by_o other_o rather_o then_o by_o thou_o that_o shall_v be_v do_v which_o may_v distasteful_a be_v so_o mere_o from_o thyself_o thy_o bounty_n flow_v that_o man_n may_v thanks_n to_o thou_o not_o other_n owe_v that_o as_o to_o many_o thou_o shall_v liberal_a prove_v so_o god_n to_o thou_o be_v in_o his_o grace_n and_o love_n moreover_o since_o a_o prince_n not_o only_o deck_v must_v be_v with_o virtue_n that_o may_v he_o direct_v to_o rule_v in_o peace_n but_o must_v be_v arm_v likewise_o with_o fortitude_n against_o each_o enterprise_n of_o foe_n or_o rebel_n that_o will_v make_v a_o breach_n of_o peace_n in_o his_o estate_n or_o yet_o impeach_v his_o honour_n with_o unsufferable_a wrong_n this_o virtue_n be_v my_o wish_n eke_o belong_v most_o noble_a prince_n since_o it_o belong_v to_o thou_o their_o worthy_a object_n who_o i_o
