prince_n have_v ever_o make_v up_o matter_n with_o their_o subject_n upon_o such_o contest_v without_o come_v to_o extremity_n the_o two_o great_a and_o most_o valiant_a of_o our_o prince_n be_v

upon_o the_o great_a power_n of_o the_o king_n propose_v to_o he_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o ephore_n officer_n who_o make_v that_o city_n so_o great_a and_o famous_a afterward_o the_o king_n find_v by_o their_o reason_n which_o be_v unanswerable_a as_o i_o think_v we_o now_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a government_n of_o sparta_n be_v near_o its_o ruin_n without_o such_o a_o cure_n and_o consider_v

the_o king_n can_v by_o any_o way_n find_v himself_o a_o new_a and_o more_o absolute_a monarchy_n except_o he_o can_v al●er_v the_o condition_n of_o property_n which_o i_o think_v we_o may_v take_v
