to_o please_v the_o people_n for_o otherwise_o he_o will_v alienate_v their_o affection_n from_o himself_o and_o they_o will_v be_v apt_a upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o invite_v in_o his_o enemy_n to_o

against_o who_o his_o subject_n the_o citizen_n of_o milan_n shut_v their_o gate_n as_o likewise_o to_o nero_n who_o though_o prince_n of_o it_o be_v yet_o call_v the_o enemy_n of_o his_o country_n and_o although_o many_o crafty_a practice_n be_v now_o in_o use_n among_o prince_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o their_o subject_n in_o due_a obedience_n yet_o i_o dare_v bold_o affirm_v that_o they_o 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 christian_n expect_v save_v that_o of_o the_o pope_n and_o have_v also_o declare_v how_o he_o be_v to_o be_v deal_v withal_o so_o i_o shall_v now_o prove_v by_o reason_n of_o policy_n that_o there_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 superior_a to_o he_o though_o in_o religion_n only_o and_o not_o in_o point_n of_o arm_n as_o the_o pope_n be_v he_o can_v never_o attain_v to_o a_o universal_a monarchy_n for_o whatsoever_o he_o 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 po●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 which_o when_o he_o have_v once_o attain_v unto_o he_o act_v another_o way_n and_o take_v upon_o himself_o all_o the_o martial_a office_n that_o be_v to_o be_v administer_v by_o the_o sword_n that_o so_o he_o may_v drive_v on_o his_o design_n the_o more_o secure_o and_o withal_o by_o his_o gift_n oblige_v all_o the_o soldiery_n so_o to_o he_o as_o that_o they_o refuse_v not_o to_o bear_v arm_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 the_o title_n of_o god_n commissary_n that_o so_o no_o prophet_n may_v pretend_v to_o be_v great_a than_o himself_o and_o alexander_n the_o great_a will_v be_v account_v the_o son_n of_o jupiter_n 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

if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v but_o entertain_v by_o the_o people_n for_o as_o much_o therefore_o as_o there_o be_v no_o more_o powerful_a religion_n find_v in_o the_o world_n then_o that_o of_o the_o
