therefore_o our_o conclusion_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o since_o king_n and_o all_o stand_a power_n be_v so_o inclinable_a to_o act_v according_a to_o their_o own_o will_n and_o in_o interest_n in_o

for_o a_o governor_n whether_o it_o be_v male_a or_o female_a a_o wise_a man_n or_o a_o fool_n good_a or_o bad_a so_o that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o hereditary_a prince_n have_v be_v tyrannous_a and_o wicked_a by_o nature_n or_o make_v so_o by_o education_n and_o opportunity_n the_o people_n have_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n band_v to_o and_o fro_o with_o their_o life_n and_o fortune_n at_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o some_o one_o single_a unworthy_a fellow_n who_o usual_o assume_v the_o great_a confidence_n in_o his_o unrighteous_a deal_n because_o he_o know_v the_o people_n be_v tie_v in_o that_o form_n to_o he_o and_o he_o though_o he_o practise_v all_o the_o injustice_n in_o the_o world_n this_o be_v it_o that_o bring_v on_o tyranny_n in_o rome_n first_o under_o

of_o they_o no_o better_a than_o savage_a beast_n and_o all_o of_o they_o wicked_a except_o titus_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o a_o nation_n may_v have_v some_o respite_n and_o recruit_v now_o and_o then_o by_o the_o virtue_n and_o valour_n of_o a_o single_a prince_n yet_o this_o be_v very_o rare_a and_o when_o it_o do_v happen_v it_o usual_o last_v no_o long_o than_o for_o his_o life_n because_o his_o son_n or_o successor_n for_o the_o most_o part_n prove_v more_o weak_a or_o vicious_a than_o himself_o be_v virtuous_a as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o several_a list_n of_o king_n throughout_o great_a britain_n france_n spain_n and_o all_o the_o world_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o inconvenience_n that_o hereditary_a prince_n have_v be_v and_o be_v for_o the_o most_o

of_o the_o blood_n in_o france_n as_o also_o in_o england_n between_o the_o two_o house_n of_o york_n and_o lancaster_n to_o which_o many_o more_o may_v be_v reckon_v out_o of_o all_o other_o

it_o must_v be_v that_o which_o be_v by_o election_n choose_v by_o the_o people_n representative_n and_o make_v a_o officer_n of_o trust_n by_o they_o to_o who_o they_o be_v to_o be_v accountable_a

the_o prince_n have_v make_v a_o most_o unhappy_a description_n of_o the_o wiles_n that_o have_v be_v use_v by_o those_o juggler_n and_o thereby_o leave_v a_o lesson_n upon_o record_n which_o have_v

make_v two_o or_o three_o inference_n thereupon_o for_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o people_n in_o what_o manner_n prince_n ought_v to_o keep_v their_o word_n how_o commendable_a in_o a_o prince_n it_o be_v to_o keep_v his_o word_n and_o live_v with_o integrity_n not_o make_v use_n of_o cunning_a and_o subtilty_n every_o one_o know_v well_o yet_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n in_o these_o our_o day_n that_o those_o prince_n have_v effect_v great_a matter_n who_o have_v make_v small_a reckon_n of_o keep_v their_o word_n and_o have_v know_v by_o their_o craft_n how_o to_o turn_v and_o wind_n man_n about_o and_o in_o the_o end_n overcome_v those_o who_o have_v ground_v upon_o the_o truth_n you_o must_v then_o know_v there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o combat_v or_o fight_v the_o one_o by_o right_a of_o the_o law_n the_o other_o mere_o by_o force_n that_o first_o way_n be_v proper_a to_o man_n the_o other_o be_v also_o common_a to_o beast_n but_o because_o the_o first_o many_o time_n suffice_v not_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o make_v recourse_n to_o the_o second_o wherefore_o it_o behoove_v a_o prince_n to_o know_v how_o to_o make_v good_a use_n of_o that_o part_n which_o belong_v
