our_o meeting_n many_o thing_n be_v propound_v to_o that_o purpose_n as_o well_o concern_v ourselves_o as_o the_o soldier_n but_o what_o will_v be_v the_o issue_n of_o these_o procceding_n for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o divine_v only_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o the_o multitude_n will_v not_o depart_v from_o the_o city_n of_o sardis_n until_o they_o have_v receive_v such_o answer_n as_o may_v in_o some_o sort_n give_v content_a to_o their_o thought_n which_o either_o must_v settle_v the_o kingdom_n in_o a_o probable_a posture_n for_o peace_n and_o quietness_n or_o so_o inflame_v the_o army_n resolution_n that_o they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o become_v master_n of_o the_o whole_a with_o these_o word_n he_o abrupt_o take_v his_o leave_n as_o if_o his_o apprehension_n have_v be_v transport_v only_o by_o imaginary_a conceit_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v quit_v the_o garden_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o attendance_n be_v also_o remove_v some_o distance_n from_o they_o the_o princess_n ascanius_n and_o roxana_n begin_v to_o fall_v upon_o consideration_n and_o discourse_n of_o the_o king_n affair_n sometime_o their_o hope_n be_v carry_v to_o assure_v themselves_o that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a but_o those_o confusion_n must_v needs_o produce_v effect_n to_o that_o purpose_n since_o as_o they_o believe_v the_o soldier_n of_o the_o senate_n can_v not_o long_o agree_v and_o then_o the_o common_a people_n desire_n of_o necessity_n will_v again_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o throne_n for_o they_o imagine_v that_o however_o there_o may_v be_v obstacle_n &_o contention_n for_o the_o present_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a power_n of_o the_o army_n yet_o the_o soldier_n at_o the_o last_o can_v not_o but_o admit_v of_o a_o king_n more_o willing_o than_o any_o other_o general_n of_o their_o own_o rank_n to_o command_v over_o they_o beside_o they_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o nobility_n and_o the_o city_n of_o sardis_n will_v join_v together_o
