towards_o so_o great_a a_o prince_n since_o the_o time_n i_o come_v unto_o the_o crown_n i_o have_v see_v many_o libel_n scatter_v abroad_o against_o i_o as_o against_o a_o tyrant_n god_n send_v the_o

as_o strange_a to_o hear_v of_o their_o impiety_n what_o will_v not_o they_o publish_v in_o their_o writing_n when_o they_o shall_v hear_v that_o i_o have_v consent_v that_o the_o hangman_n shall_v ●mbrue_v his_o hand_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o my_o next_o cousin_n i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o cruelty_n that_o to_o conserve_v my_o life_n i_o will_v not_o use_v any_o violence_n against_o she_o neither_o have_v i_o be_v so_o careful_a to_o lengthen_v out_o my_o own_o life_n as_o i_o have_v labour_v to_o conserve_v the_o life_n of_o we_o both_o and_o i_o be_o immeasurable_o sorry_a that_o now_o it_o can_v be_v do_v i_o be_o not_o so_o void_a of_o wit_n but_o that_o i_o see_v the_o danger_n that_o be_v near_o i_o nor_o of_o that_o peevish_a folly-wit_n whet_v and_o sharpen_v the_o

that_o there_o be_v many_o who_o will_v put_v their_o life_n in_o danger_n to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o their_o prince_n of_o who_o number_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o profess_v myself_o to_o be_v these_o thing_n i_o have_v consider_v in_o my_o mind_n but_o since_o that_o many_o have_v write_v and_o speak_v bitter_o against_o i_o let_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o make_v a_o apology_n for_o myself_o that_o you_o may_v see_v for_o the_o safe●y_n of_o what_o woman_n you_o have_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n as_o i_o do_v make_v a_o thankful_a remembrance_n of_o your_o vigilancy_n and_o

abroad_o show_v themselves_o my_o enemy_n yet_o nevertheless_o i_o be_v not_o move_v for_o i_o know_v that_o god_n who_o i_o chief_o respect_v will_v defend_v i_o and_o my_o cause_n upon_o this_o

that_o i_o may_v make_v great_a progress_n in_o the_o art_n of_o government_n i_o study_v much_o and_o long_a what_o thing_n be_v the_o fit_a part_n for_o a_o king_n and_o i_o find_v out_o by_o search_n that_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v furnish_v with_o those_o cardinal_n virtue_n justice_n temperance_n prudence_n and_o fortitude_n my_o sex_n do_v not_o permit_v i_o to_o arrogate_v unto_o myself_o these_o two_o latter_a which_o belong_v proper_o unto_o man_n but_o of_o the_o former_a and_o the_o mild_a virtue_n as_o i_o may_v call_v they_o i_o dare_v say_v this_o without_o vanterie_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o high_a and_o low_a in_o awe_n alike_o i_o have_v raise_v no_o man_n who_o i_o have_v not_o think_v worthy_a i_o have_v not_o be_v credulous_a of_o

as_o truth_n upon_o the_o too_o much_o partiality_n of_o the_o party_n for_o a_o good_a and_o wary_a prince_n be_v often_o sell_v for_o that_o he_o can_v hear_v all_o thing_n himself_o but_o this_o i_o can_v aver_v and_o avow_v for_o truth_n according_a to_o my_o capacity_n i_o have_v always_o make_v judgement_n subject_a unto_o truth_n as_o there_o be_v one_o who_o admonish_v his_o friend_n
