we_o be_v all_o of_o the_o earth_n we_o live_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o end_n we_o have_v to_o turn_v into_o the_o earth_n as_o to_o our_o natural_a thing_n if_o the_o planet_n and_o the_o

of_o himself_o bring_v he_o to_o be_v in_o the_o princess_n disgrace_n and_o make_v the_o people_n also_o to_o be_v offend_v and_o angry_a with_o he_o for_o till_o this_o day_n we_o never_o see_v nor_o hard_o tell_v of_o any_o that_o ever_o get_v into_o the_o princess_n favour_n and_o credit_n for_o that_o he_o be_v proud_a and_o high_o mind_v but_o only_o for_o that_o he_o have_v show_v

to_o the_o gorge_n envenom_a with_o envy_n plunge_v insloth_n and_o idleness_n or_o some_o other_o vice_n and_o imperfection_n it_o shall_v not_o skill_n much_o neither_o be_v any_o great_a wonder_n since_o all_o mankind_n be_v subject_a to_o those_o passion_n and_o neither_o the_o prince_n nor_o the_o common_a weal_n will_v reckon_v much_o of_o that_o for_o of_o all_o these_o fault_n and_o vice_n there_o can_v come_v no_o great_a hurt_n to_o he_o save_v only_o that_o that_o the_o common_a people_n woold_v murmur_v against_o he_o but_o his_o pride_n and_o peacock_n glory_n once_o know_v and_o espy_v every_o man_n cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o he_o to_o behold_v his_o princely_a gate_n and_o curse_v he_o in_o word_n and_o deed_n therefore_o let_v a_o man_n be_v in_o as_o great_a favour_n as_o he_o can_v devyse_v to_o be_v as_o worthy_a noble_a rich_a and_o of_o as_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n as_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v i_o never_o see_v any_o ill_a in_o all_o my_o life_n if_o with_o all_o these_o virtue_n he_o be_v proud_a and_o high_o mind_v but_o in_o the_o end_n he_o be_v persecute_v of_o many_o and_o hate_a and_o envy_a of_o all_o for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o great_a

that_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o prince_n can_v be_v long_o maintain_v without_o good_a bring_v up_o and_o civil_a manner_n gentle_a conversation_n and_o familiarity_n the_o great_a man_n of_o

therefore_o may_v the_o favour_a of_o the_o court_n see_v how_o much_o more_o hard_a it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o rule_v as_o sole_a &_o absolute_a lord_n the_o affair_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o to_o
