will_v in_o the_o end_n prove_v destructive_a to_o those_o prince_n for_o we_o see_v that_o tiberius_n that_o grand_a artifex_n of_o subtlety_n and_o craft_n be_v miserable_o hate_v by_o his_o subject_n and_o so_o lead_v a_o very_a sad_a life_n because_o he_o find_v he_o be_v not_o love_v by_o any_o body_n so_o that_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o put_v some_o or_o other_o every_o day_n to_o

the_o high_a and_o most_o advantageous_a craft_n that_o a_o prince_n can_v make_v use_n of_o be_v to_o show_v himself_o beneficent_a religious_a and_o liberal_a towards_o his_o subject_n yet_o this_o in_o so_o moderate_a a_o way_n as_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o give_v they_o not_o occasion_n to_o despise_v he_o as_o happen_v to_o pope_n celestine_n the_o five_o but_o let_v we_o now_o proceed_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o more_o particular_o concern_v spain_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v by_o divine_a reason_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o universal_a monarchy_n among_o the_o

can_v be_v no_o monarch_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n unless_o he_o have_v his_o dependence_n upon_o the_o pope_n for_o certain_o what_o prince_n soever_o have_v any_o other_o that_o be_v

shall_v take_v in_o hand_n it_o will_v be_v successelesse_a and_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v crush_v in_o piece_n by_o the_o superior_a for_o all_o religion_n as_o well_o the_o false_a as_o the_o true_a do_v prevail_v and_o be_v victorious_a when_o they_o have_v once_o take_v root_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n upon_o which_o only_o depend_v both_o their_o tongue_n and_o arm_n which_o be_v the_o only_a instrument_n of_o attain_v dominion_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o julius_n caesar_n when_o any_o be_v create_v consul_n if_o the_o poâ—tifex_n maximus_n come_v and_o say_v they_o be_v not_o create_v right_o they_o be_v present_o by_o he_o put_v by_o and_o so_o whensoever_o he_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o a_o fight_n if_o the_o augur_n say_v that_o the_o pullen_n will_v not_o eat_v their_o meat_n he_o forbear_v to_o go_v on_o and_o do_v only_o what_o he_o be_v direct_v to_o by_o their_o omen_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o same_o caesar_n have_v fall_v upon_o a_o resolution_n of_o make_v himself_o a_o monarch_n he_o oppose_v cato_n as_o much_o as_o possible_o he_o can_v and_o endeavour_v by_o all_o possible_a mean_n to_o be_v choose_v to_o be_v the_o pontifex_n maximus_n

for_o he_o even_o against_o their_o country_n and_o to_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o design_n of_o change_v the_o government_n of_o the_o state_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n cyrus_n will_v be_v call_v by_o

ammon_n for_o the_o very_a same_o reason_n it_o be_v also_o very_o evident_a that_o no_o monarchy_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n have_v arrive_v to_o the_o height_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o

rule_n be_v most_o absurd_a several_a way_n first_o because_o it_o make_v the_o king_n to_o be_v a_o most_o cruel_a tyrant_n who_o take_v care_n of_o himself_o alone_o and_o not_o of_o his_o subject_n

stout_o and_o effectual_o to_o resist_v all_o enemy_n whatsoever_o and_o may_v oblige_v one_o another_o by_o mutual_a office_n both_o at_o home_n and_o in_o war._n and_o therefore_o all_o good_a

ought_v to_o love_v one_o another_o for_o ignoti_fw-la nulla_fw-la cupido_fw-la no_o man_n desire_v what_o he_o know_v not_o and_o upon_o this_o consideration_n it_o be_v that_o plato_n forbid_v all_o private_a chapel_n and_o moses_n also_o give_v order_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v erect_v but_o one_o temple_n only_o in_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o so_o all_o of_o they_o concur_v and_o agree_v together_o in_o one_o religion_n and_o in_o the_o love_n of_o one_o only_a god_n may_v every_o way_n fill_v up_o one_o complete_a mutual_a love_n among_o themselves_o and_o to_o this_o end_n beside_o marriage_n be_v clienteles_a or_o multitude_n of_o client_n and_o follower_n design_v and_o diverse_a other_o institution_n tend_v to_o the_o promote_a and_o advance_v of_o

and_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v profitable_a to_o the_o prince_n but_o so_o be_v not_o the_o hatred_n of_o his_o people_n for_o this_o prove_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o france_n and_o such_o

whereas_o a_o parity_n or_o equality_n between_o fellow-subject_n be_v a_o mean_n of_o remove_v all_o envy_n rapine_n pride_n hatred_n and_o effeminateness_n from_o among_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o moses_n command_v the_o jew_n that_o every_o seven_o year_n all_o family_n shall_v have_v their_o inheritance_n restore_v unto_o they_o again_o and_o all_o servant_n that_o be_v of_o
