i_o be_v something_o elder_a than_o sesostris_n and_o remember_v all_o the_o imprecation_n and_o curse_n against_o amasis_n when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n my_o inclination_n and_o judgement_n be_v to_o fight_v against_o he_o but_o sesostris_n be_v of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n and_o will_v fight_v in_o the_o army_n of_o amasis_n against_o the_o revolter_n my_o argument_n be_v that_o amasis_n be_v a_o usurper_n that_o all_o respect_n be_v due_a unto_o the_o legitimate_a king_n that_o they_o of_o thebes_n be_v no_o rebel_n but_o just_a enemy_n unto_o a_o tyrant_n and_o consequent_o i_o think_v it_o most_o just_a to_o take_v their_o part_n on_o the_o contrary_a sesostris_n he_o argue_v that_o though_o amasis_n be_v a_o usurper_n yet_o they_o of_o thebes_n be_v unworthy_a of_o assistance_n for_o say_v he_o if_o they_o be_v faithful_a unto_o their_o prince_n why_o do_v they_o acknowledge_v amasis_n and_o since_o they_o do_v acknowledge_v he_o why_o do_v they_o now_o forsake_v he_o be_v there_o a_o prince_n descend_v from_o the_o royal_a race_n of_o our_o king_n unto_o who_o the_o crown_n shall_v descend_v than_o shall_v i_o certain_o fight_v on_o their_o side_n or_o if_o they_o have_v only_o a_o design_n to_o revenge_v the_o death_n of_o apriez_n i_o will_v be_v on_o their_o side_n also_o but_o since_o i_o hear_v their_o aim_n be_v only_o at_o their_o private_a interest_n and_o grandeur_n of_o their_o town_n and_o for_o that_o they_o trouble_v all_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v but_o just_a if_o they_o perish_v also_o i_o have_v hear_v amenophis_n say_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o obey_v one_o master_n then_o many_o and_o that_o a_o good_a tyrant_n in_o peace_n be_v better_a for_o the_o people_n than_o a_o just_a war_n moreover_o without_o any_o further_a reason_n i_o find_v my_o heart_n so_o inclinable_a to_o take_v the_o part_n of_o amasis_n that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a i_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o can_v take_v no_o other_o after_o this_o sir_n i_o submit_v unto_o sesostris_n but_o it_o be_v with_o much_o ado_n then_o we_o go_v unto_o the_o army_n of_o amasis_n who_o then_o be_v under_o the_o command_n of_o heracleon_n who_o at_o present_a be_v your_o prisoner_n and_o who_o be_v then_o the_o king_n favourite_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v the_o man_n who_o have_v the_o great_a hand_n in_o set_v he_o upon_o the_o

reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o be_v because_o he_o be_v very_o sickly_a at_o last_o sir_n we_o come_v to_o the_o camp_n and_o seem_v as_o man_n who_o will_v serve_v as_o volunteer_n but_o sir_n as_o sesostris_n have_v a_o excellent_a faculty_n in_o use_v a_o pikestaff_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o shepherd_n he_o have_v a_o better_a in_o use_v a_o sword_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o

admirable_a behaviour_n do_v invite_v their_o look_n in_o the_o camp_n so_o it_o do_v much_o more_o when_o he_o fight_v for_o sesostris_n do_v thing_n which_o certain_o do_v surpass_v all_o that_o they_o can_v imagine_v of_o his_o valour_n yet_o heracleon_n be_v not_o a_o witness_n of_o it_o for_o at_o the_o very_a first_o charge_n he_o be_v wound_v and_o so_o exceed_o that_o he_o be_v carry_v

be_v not_o know_v unto_o heracleon_n but_o only_o by_o report_n but_o sir_n be_v please_v to_o know_v that_o though_o we_o come_v into_o this_o camp_n only_o as_o simple_a volunteer_n unknown_a unto_o any_o yet_o the_o valour_n of_o sesostris_n make_v we_o quick_o know_v unto_o all_o the_o army_n for_o he_o do_v so_o high_o and_o happy_o save_v the_o life_n of_o simandius_n in_o a_o battle_n that_o his_o fame_n fly_v as_o far_o as_o heracleon_n and_o amasis_n also_o but_o sir_n the_o admiration_n be_v that_o sesostris_n who_o will_v be_v know_v for_o no_o more_o than_o a_o shepherd_n will_v have_v we_o change_v our_o name_n though_o the_o name_n of_o sesostris_n and_o miris_fw-la be_v so_o general_a and_o common_a in_o egypt_n that_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a we_o shall_v be_v know_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v he_o be_v so_o afraid_a of_o be_v know_v to_o be_v a_o shepherd_n that_o he_o do_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v have_v do_v to_o hinder_v his_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o

the_o son_n unto_o the_o king_n of_o issedon_n who_o only_o ought_v to_o reign_v over_o they_o will_v be_v without_o a_o kingdom_n and_o indeed_o the_o issedon_n will_v have_v neither_o king_n nor_o

and_o never_o come_v herself_o among_o they_o but_o not_o to_o use_v reason_n and_o argument_n where_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n be_v sufficient_a i_o will_v maintain_v that_o since_o the_o

to_o fly_v unto_o any_o subtlety_n to_o maintain_v the_o equity_n of_o a_o cause_n which_o nothing_o can_v weaken_v i_o shall_v tell_v you_o only_o in_o two_o word_n that_o the_o law_n say_v the_o

according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o by_o the_o same_o consequence_n the_o prince_n ariante_n can_v pretend_v unto_o any_o thing_n but_o a_o pardon_n for_o his_o crime_n and_o to_o
