only_o the_o victor_n may_v be_v out_o of_o danger_n but_o may_v also_o have_v it_o in_o his_o power_n to_o oppress_v the_o thuscanes_n which_o proposition_n tullus_n accept_v and_o though_o there_o be_v many_o that_o blame_v he_o for_o it_o yet_o i_o think_v they_o mean_v it_o in_o some_o other_o case_n because_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o a_o warlike_a spirit_n as_o tullus_n be_v if_o he_o have_v not_o certain_o know_v the_o manifest_a danger_n of_o fall_v to_o be_v a_o prey_n to_o the_o other_o will_v ever_o have_v consent_v to_o such_o a_o duel_n which_o in_o the_o case_n of_o another_o be_v never_o without_o blame_n be_v a_o thing_n unworthy_a of_o a_o valorous_a captain_n to_o lay_v the_o fortune_n of_o many_o upon_o a_o few_o but_o as_o this_o case_n be_v i_o find_v no_o other_o error_n in_o tullus_n hostilius_n but_o that_o he_o will_v hazard_v the_o whole_a army_n upon_o three_o man_n but_o if_o the_o condition_n have_v be_v to_o fight_v with_o one_o squadron_n of_o foot_n and_o another_o of_o horse_n i_o can_v not_o then_o but_o have_v commend_v it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o by_o such_o a_o fight_n it_o will_v plain_o have_v appear_v which_o of_o they_o in_o a_o set_a battle_n will_v have_v have_v the_o victory_n there_o concur_v in_o it_o the_o skill_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o part_n of_o all_o part_n of_o the_o army_n which_o have_v the_o same_o proportion_n with_o one_o another_o as_o the_o whole_a have_v with_o the_o whole_a according_a to_o the_o vulgar_a rule_n eadem_fw-la est_fw-la ratio_fw-la totius_fw-la ad_fw-la totum_fw-la quae_fw-la est_fw-la partis_fw-la ad_fw-la partem_fw-la but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o tullus_n one_o of_o the_o army_n may_v be_v inferior_a to_o the_o other_o in_o horse_n and_o foot_n and_o captain_n and_o yet_o have_v three_o brave_a man_n in_o any_o of_o these_o kind_n in_o it_o than_o the_o other_o concern_v the_o second_o point_n ludovico_n sforza_n do_v well_o for_o secure_v himself_o in_o

and_o if_o he_o can_v not_o he_o shall_v not_o then_o have_v meddle_v in_o it_o at_o all_o to_o have_v make_v use_n of_o the_o king_n as_o a_o aid_n in_o peace_n but_o not_o as_o a_o captain_n in_o

purpose_n to_o make_v himself_o free_a lord_n of_o milan_n if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o make_v he_o return_v again_o but_o see_v the_o case_n require_v to_o make_v use_n of_o he_o in_o war_n now_o it_o be_v his_o ruin_n because_o to_o seek_v to_o rise_v by_o the_o discord_n of_o other_o be_v not_o a_o work_n for_o a_o inferior_a but_o either_o for_o a_o equal_a or_o a_o great_a whereupon_o to_o philip_n king_n of_o macedon_n and_o to_o ferdinand_n king_n of_o spain_n it_o prove_v well_o but_o to_o lodowick_n sforza_n it_o bring_v utter_a ruin_n and_o to_o the_o venetian_n exceed_v danger_n although_o he_o with_o indiscretion_n set_v forward_o his_o own_o destruction_n these_o with_o judgement_n free_v themselves_o from_o the_o danger_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o

remain_v after_o the_o war_n end_v a_o prey_n to_o the_o roman_n so_o the_o french_a when_o hannibal_n come_v into_o italy_n perceive_v though_o too_o late_o they_o have_v expose_v their_o country_n as_o a_o prey_n to_o his_o army_n so_o the_o etolian_o call_v in_o antiochus_n to_o make_v war_n upon_o the_o roman_n be_v themselves_o the_o first_o a_o prey_n to_o the_o roman_n as_o it_o have_v be_v foretell_v they_o but_o although_o we_o have_v show_v by_o the_o example_n of_o croesus_n that_o it_o be_v not_o good_a in_o discord_n so_o to_o aid_v one_o side_n as_o to_o weaken_v one_o self_n yet_o be_v not_o this_o rule_n to_o be_v observe_v where_o one_o be_v so_o much_o too_o strong_a that_o the_o other_o without_o great_a aid_n be_v not_o able_a to_o withstand_v because_o in_o this_o
