thing_n according_a as_o reason_n shall_v command_v he_o or_o experience_n direct_v he_o clxvii_o the_o acquisition_n of_o a_o great_a estate_n or_o honour_n be_v a_o thing_n commendable_a provide_v it_o be_v do_v without_o fraud_n or_o any_o indirect_a mean_n yet_o so_o great_a be_v the_o corruption_n of_o mankind_n that_o man_n common_o be_v ambitious_a of_o high_a title_n and_o magistracy_n

be_v so_o his_o remembrancer_n of_o the_o concern_v of_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o that_o he_o be_v withal_o mindful_a of_o the_o honour_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o prince_n clxxi_o there_o be_v not_o any_o man_n of_o so_o weak_a ability_n but_o that_o he_o may_v manifest_o perceive_v the_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o action_n proceed_v from_o fear_n and_o error_n and_o those_o which_o proceed_v from_o fraud_n and_o a_o evil_a intention_n clxxii_o he_o who_o know_v in_o himself_o what_o be_v advantageous_a and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o yet_o forbear_v communicate_v it_o to_o other_o be_v a_o insignificant_a member_n of_o that_o body_n clxxiii_o a_o commander_n may_v make_v a_o retreat_n upon_o two_o occasion_n either_o out_o of_o timorousness_n or_o prudence_n the_o former_a whereof_o be_v reproachable_a the_o other_o deserve_v commendation_n in_o regard_n it_o seem_v to_o wave_v the_o hazard_n of_o what_o be_v not_o

she_o so_o think_v of_o herself_o as_o not_o to_o allow_v any_o part_n of_o time_n for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o body_n whereby_o the_o latter_a be_v weaken_v and_o render_v uncapable_a of_o perform_v its_o office_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o who_o make_v the_o body_n lord_n over_o the_o soul_n and_o employ_v their_o whole_a time_n in_o satisfy_v the_o appetite_n thereof_o without_o reserve_v some_o part_n for_o the_o other_o can_v never_o become_v virtuous_a nor_o have_v any_o valour_n in_o themselves_o clxxv_o avarice_n be_v no_o doubt_n much_o more_o unblamable_a in_o a_o prince_n than_o in_o a_o private_a person_n not_o only_o upon_o this_o score_n that_o the_o prince_n have_v more_o to_o distribute_v frustrate_v man_n of_o the_o benefit_n they_o expect_v from_o he_o but_o also_o in_o regard_n that_o whatever_o the_o private_a person_n have_v he_o may_v dispose_v thereof_o without_o any_o other_o being_n much_o concern_v in_o it_o but_o whatever_o the_o prince_n have_v he_o have_v chief_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o other_o what_o therefore_o he_o retain_v to_o himself_o be_v so_o much_o deduct_v out_o of_o what_o man_n shall_v receive_v from_o he_o clxxvi_o prince_n have_v cause_n to_o be_v more_o distrustful_a than_o other_o person_n not_o only_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v many_o time_n flatter_v but_o also_o that_o many_o doubtful_a advertisement_n be_v propose_v to_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a matter_n for_o they_o to_o follow_v those_o that_o be_v most_o advantageous_a to_o their_o concern_v clxxvii_o that_o prince_n who_o have_v the_o most_o oblige_a way_n to_o gain_v the_o affection_n of_o his_o people_n make_v a_o great_a discovery_n of_o a_o excellent_a good_a nature_n and_o withal_o give_v a_o certain_a demonstration_n of_o his_o be_v unchargeable_a with_o the_o vice_n of_o pride_n which_o bring_v a_o odium_fw-la upon_o the_o virtue_n themselves_o clxxviii_o when_o any_o of_o the_o enemy_n force_n fall_v off_o from_o he_o and_o come_v into_o thy_o service_n it_o be_v no_o small_a happiness_n if_o they_o prove_v faithful_a to_o thou_o inasmuch_o as_o the_o force_n of_o the_o enemy_n be_v much_o more_o weaken_a by_o the_o defection_n of_o those_o who_o desert_n he_o than_o by_o the_o loss_n of_o those_o who_o be_v kill_v though_o the_o name_n of_o turncoat_n or_o fugitive_n be_v suspicious_a in_o new-raised_a man_n and_o odious_a in_o old_a soldier_n clxxix_o in_o military_a concern_v the_o prosperous_a success_n of_o the_o victorious_a prince_n proceed_v for_o the_o most_o part_n from_o the_o want_n of_o counsel_n and_o conduct_v in_o the_o enemy_n and_o thence_o it_o come_v that_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a task_n to_o subdue_v he_o who_o know_v the_o extent_n of_o his_o own_o force_n and_o those_o of_o his_o enemy_n beside_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o soldiery_n be_v to_o be_v attribute_v more_o to_o their_o gallantry_n than_o to_o their_o multitude_n and_o sometime_o the_o advancement_n they_o make_v depend_v more_o on_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o place_n where_o the_o engagement_n happen_v than_o upon_o their_o personal_a valour_n clxxx_o man_n arm_n money_n and_o provision_n be_v the_o sinew_n of_o war_n but_o of_o these_o four_o the_o two_o former_a be_v the_o most_o necessary_a in_o regard_n that_o resolute_a man_n well_o arm_v will_v make_v a_o shift_n to_o find_v money_n and_o provision_n but_o those_o two_o last_o will_v not_o so_o easy_o find_v man_n and_o arms._n clxxxi_o when_o the_o prince_n be_v surround_v by_o his_o familiar_a friend_n in_o a_o time_n that_o require_v nothing_o of_o action_n he_o communicate_v his_o favour_n to_o those_o who_o be_v most_o acceptable_a to_o he_o and_o most_o compliant_a with_o his_o humour_n
