those_o thing_n wherein_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o serve_v both_o with_o his_o body_n and_o good_n sure_o that_o be_v not_o well_o no_o god_n know_v it_o be_v far_o wide_a howbeit_o there_o may_v be_v some_o excuse_n make_v for_o it_o marry_o in_o that_o you_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o give_v ear_n undo_n to_o that_o which_o may_v be_v tell_v you_o &_o shall_v be_v fit_n for_o you_o to_o receive_v council_n in_o sure_o that_o be_v altogether_o worthy_a of_o blame_n in_o you_o for_o it_o be_v your_o custom_n never_o to_o hear_v of_o the_o matter_n till_o thing_n be_v come_v even_o upon_o you_o as_o it_o be_v now_o neither_o will_v you_o take_v council_n of_o any_o matter_n so_o long_o as_o you_o be_v in_o quietness_n but_o when_o philip_n make_v preparation_n against_o you_o than_o do_v you_o neglect_v to_o do_v the_o same_o &_o in_o like_a manner_n to_o prepare_v against_o he_o sit_v still_o idle_o and_o who_o so_o ever_o tell_v you_o of_o it_o you_o thrust_v he_o out_o straight_o again_o when_o you_o hear_v of_o any_o place_n lose_v or_o besiege_v than_o you_o begin_v to_o hearken_v and_o buckle_v to_o armour_n where_o as_o your_o fit_a time_n have_v be_v to_o have_v give_v ear_n even_o then_o &_o to_o have_v take_v council_n when_o you_o wear_v most_o unwilling_a and_o that_o preparation_n which_o you_o have_v make_v to_o put_v in_o practice_n and_o execution_n even_o now_o sudden_a at_o this_o present_a when_o you_o make_v it_o your_o time_n of_o consultation_n so_o that_o by_o this_o your_o manner_n of_o deal_v you_o only_o amongst_o all_o other_o do_v thing_n clean_o contrary_a to_o all_o the_o world_n for_o all_o other_o folk_n use_v to_o take_v council_n before_o thing_n be_v in_o do_v whereas_o you_o begin_v to_o deal_v when_o all_o be_v do_v now_o therefore_o that_o thing_n which_o remain_v to_o be_v say_v and_o shall_v have_v be_v do_v long_o before_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o late_o now_o neither_o i_o will_v show_v the_o same_o unto_o you_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n our_o city_n have_v need_n of_o none_o so_o much_o for_o these_o matter_n that_o be_v even_o at_o hand_n as_o of_o money_n and_o fortune_n of_o herself_o have_v offer_v we_o good_a luck_n which_o if_o we_o can_v use_v well_o there_o may_v perhaps_o some_o meet_a thing_n be_v do_v first_o and_o foremost_a such_o as_o the_o king_n of_o persia_n put_v his_o trust_n in_o and_o have_v take_v to_o be_v his_o benefactor_n sthey_a do_v hate_n philip_n and_o be_v at_o war_n with_o he_o again_o he_o that_o be_v all_o in_o all_o and_o privy_a with_o philip_n practice_n against_o the_o persian_a ▪_o the_o same_o man_n be_v now_o take_v away_o from_o his_o charge_n and_o the_o persian_a shall_v hear_v all_o his_o practice_n not_o by_o any_o of_o our_o complaint_n in_o which_o case_n he_o may_v suspect_v we_o to_o speak_v for_o our_o own_o profit_n but_o by_o he_o that_o be_v himself_o the_o author_n and_o chief_a minister_n there_o in_o so_o that_o our_o accusasion_n shall_v carry_v the_o more_o credit_n with_o it_o and_o your_o ambassador_n talk_v shall_v be_v such_o hereafter_o as_o the_o king_n will_v hear_v it_o to_o his_o very_a great_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n that_o he_o who_o hurt_v we_o both_o shall_v be_v revenge_v of_o we_o both_o and_o also_o that_o king_n philip_n shall_v be_v a_o much_o more_o terrible_a enemy_n to_o the_o persian_a if_o he_o first_o set_v upon_o we_o for_o shall_v we_o be_v once_o forsake_v and_o distress_a he_o will_v then_o without_o fear_n march_v towards_o he_o and_o for_o all_o these_o cause_n i_o think_v it_o good_a that_o you_o do_v dispatch_v ambassador_n to_o treat_v with_o the_o king_n of_o persia_n and_o lay_v away_o these_o simple_a and_o slender_a reason_n of_o your_o own_o it_o whereby_o you_o have_v be_v so_o oftentimes_o hinder_v as_o those_o the_o persian_a he_o be_v a_o barbarian_a so_o he_o be_v forsooth_o and_o a_o common_a enemy_n to_o all_o man_n and_o all_o the_o like_a talk_n now_o sure_o i_o for_o my_o part_n when_o i_o see_v a_o man_n stand_v in_o great_a fear_n of_o he_o that_o dwell_v at_o susa_n and_o ecbatana_n ismail_n and_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v enemy_n to_o this_o country_n who_o both_o heretofore_o have_v help_v the_o matter_n of_o our_o city_n that_o be_v out_o of_o frame_n &_o now_o also_o have_v promise_v we_o his_o aid_n which_o his_o offer_n if_o you_o do_v not_o receive_v but_o refuse_v it_o by_o common_a decree_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v therefore_o and_o yet_o the_o same_o man_n to_o report_v otherwise_o of_o that_o errant_a mean_v rover_n of_o the_o greek_n who_o be_v rise_v aloft_o abode_n hard_o by_o our_o nose_n even_o at_o our_o own_o gate_n within_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o greece_n at_o he_o do_v i_o much_o marvel_v and_o that_o man_n fear_v i_o whosoever_o he_o be_v because_o he_o fear_v not_o philip._n there_o be_v a_o other_o thing_n plague_v this_o city_n beside_o all_o this_o which_o be_v cast_v abroad_o upon_o a_o certain_a unjust_a slander_n &_o uncomely_a talk_n of_o man_n and_o beside_o that_o give_v a_o excuse_n &_o cloak_n to_o such_o as_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o do_v their_o duty_n within_o the_o city_n and_o of_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v want_v when_o that_o want_n shall_v be_v supply_v by_o any_o body_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o blame_n lay_v on_o this_o thing_n whereof_o albeit_o i_o be_o great_o adread_a to_o speak_v yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o mind_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v have_v good_a matter_n to_o speak_v of_o for_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o city_n aswell_o on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o poor_a to_o the_o rich_a as_o for_o they_o that_o have_v substance_n to_o the_o needy_a so_o that_o we_o remove_v those_o slanderous_a report_n which_o certain_a man_n do_v spread_v abroad_o upon_o no_o just_a cause_n touch_v the_o theatre_n charge_n or_o stage_n money_n and_o also_o if_o we_o will_v cast_v away_o this_o fear_n that_o this_o thing_n will_v not_o be_v stay_v without_o some_o great_a mischief_n of_o than_o which_o thing_n i_o think_v there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o for_o our_o profit_n nor_o general_o more_o for_o the_o preservation_n and_o establishment_n of_o this_o city_n consider_v the_o matter_n thus_o with_o yourselves_o albeit_o first_o of_o all_o poor_a i_o will_v speak_v of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o poor_a sort_n the_o time_n be_v and_o that_o not_o long_o ago_o neither_o when_o the_o revenue_n of_o this_o city_n wear_v not_o above_o a_o hundred_o s●arling_n &_o thirty_o talent_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v a_o galley_n at_o his_o own_o proper_a charge_n or_o to_o pay_v any_o tax_n or_o tallage_n that_o grudge_v to_o do_v his_o duty_n for_o want_v of_o money_n but_o there_o wear_v galley_n set_v forth_o and_o they_o make_v money_n in_o good_a time_n and_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v after_o this_o by_o good_a luck_n the_o common_a revenue_n of_o the_o city_n increase_v and_o in_o steed_n of_o one_o hundred_o there_o come_v in_o starling_n four_o hundred_o talent_n and_o yet_o be_v no_o man_n pinch_v in_o his_o good_n or_o lose_v any_o thing_n but_o rather_o get_v by_o it_o for_o why_o the_o rich_a &_o wealthy_a man_n come_v to_o have_v their_o part_n of_o it_o and_o good_a reason_n then_o what_o ail_v we_o unwilling_a that_o we_o hit_v one_o another_o in_o the_o tooth_n and_o under_o a_o cloak_n thereof_o resist_v to_o do_v our_o duty_n unless_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o do_v envy_v the_o offer_a aid_n that_o fortune_n send_v to_o the_o poor_a who_o neither_o i_o myself_o do_v blame_v nor_o yet_o will_v have_v other_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o they_o for_o even_o in_o private_a family_n and_o household_n i_o can_v see_v the_o young_a sort_n to_o be_v of_o that_o disposition_n towards_o their_o elder_n family_n nor_o any_o so_o out_o of_o order_n or_o so_o foolish_a that_o if_o any_o body_n do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o himself_o he_o will_v therefore_o say_v that_o he_o will_v do_v nothing_o neither_o such_o a_o fellow_n sure_o shall_v then_o feel_v the_o danger_n of_o the_o law_n provide_v against_o evil_a handle_n of_o our_o elder_n for_o i_o think_v every_o man_n be_v bind_v of_o
