85 III, IV | sufficient share in the government to enable them to preserve
86 III, V | better quality. The honors of government were divided into two parts,
87 III, V | alternately from each.~The government thus composed, restored
88 III, V | and put to death; for the government lived in constant apprehension,
89 III, V | it was disclosed to the government that Gianozzo da Salerno
90 III, V | made for defense of the government, all of which were put in

112 III, VII | years. At this time, the government having gained greater strength,
113 III, VII | appeased by the ruin of that government which continued from 1381
114 IV, I | doing mischief, then the government may be called free, and
115 IV, I | Hence, it appears, that the government which commenced in Florence
116 IV, I | deprived of the honors of government. These oft-repeated acts

122 IV, II | places, and overturn the government which for forty-two years
123 IV, II | evil was to restore the government to the nobility, and diminish
124 IV, II | complete the ruin both of the government and the city. To this Giovanni
125 IV, II | was disposed to let the government of the city remain as it
126 IV, III | of a participation in the government are so great, that of themselves
127 IV, IV | never sought the honors of government; yet enjoyed them all; and
128 IV, V | willingly submitted to their government; but when enslaved by the
129 IV, VI | of those who were in the government, and Cosmo himself hoped
130 IV, VI | former reputation of the government, which has now continued
131 IV, VI | shed in its cause, the government rightly belonged; and argued
132 IV, VII | made use of to preserve the government among so many enemies, or

136 V, I | those in possession of the government now began to strengthen
137 V, I | been banished by the former government, were recalled. All the
138 V, I | drawing, did not afford the government sufficient security, they
139 V, I | themselves firmly in the government. Not to be destitute of
140 V, II | of determining matters of government; but that, as the head of
141 V, II | Genoese having placed the government in the hands of free magistrates,
142 V, II | You attempted to take the government from many good citizens;
143 V, II | will strengthen your own government, you may easily judge; having
144 V, II | settled and establish a government; for he trusted greatly
145 V, II | effect an accommodation, the government of Florence had deferred
146 V, III | the new created knight the government of Pisa for one year.~There
147 V, IV | exiles, whom the existing government already dreaded; the third
148 V, V | consequence of this, the government thought it would be advisable
149 V, VI | to give security to the government, for which they had no cause
150 V, VI | toward Rinaldo and the late government; so that as soon as he knew
151 V, VI | have almost deprived the government of all power to compel the
152 V, VII | ceding his territories and government to the Florentines. When
153 V, VII | were known at Florence, the government and people were transported

155 VI, II | highest reputation in the government, was Neri di Gino Capponi,
156 VI, II | having associates in the government. Among the leaders of the
157 VI, II | citizens who held the reins of government; for it being ten years
158 VI, II | Balia, which reformed the government, gave authority to a limited
159 VI, II | enemies of the honors of government, and with them the sons

168 VI, VII | France, and offered him the government of Genoa. Charles accepted
169 VI, VII | both of the city and the government, given up to him. This annoyed
170 VI, VII | who seeing him new in the government, might design to take it
171 VI, VII | then attack the seat of government. This resolution occasioned
172 VI, VII | and preservation of the government. At the same time, King
173 VII, I | opposition was annihilated, the government, deprived of the restraining
174 VII, I | Consequently, whenever this government required the citizens’ aid
175 VII, I | opposition party extinct, the government found a difficulty in resuming
176 VII, I | either forcibly to assume the government, with the partisans he possessed,
177 VII, I | risk, and could take the government into his own hands whenever
178 VII, I | themselves that had lost the government. Cosmo appeared not to notice
179 VII, I | plebeians, and restore to the government the reputation which had
180 VII, I | in order to commence that government with terror which they had
181 VII, I | deprived many of the honors of government. Girolamo, having transgressed

184 VII, I | infirm health, and new in the government, and they thought he would
185 VII, I | an intimate knowledge of government and state affairs as himself;
186 VII, I | retained possession of the government thirty-one years; for being
187 VII, I | discord strengthened his government in Florence, and war increased
188 VII, I | something more to direct a government than to play with a string
189 VII, II | being heir to the wealth and government of his father, called to
190 VII, II | both with regard to the government of the city and the management
191 VII, II | deprive him both of the government and his influence. Each
192 VII, II | unfit to be at the head of a government, thought that of necessity

212 VIII, I | with our narrative. The government of the Medici having subdued
213 VIII, I | the victory of 1466, the government became so entirely centred
214 VIII, I | to annoy the Florentine government. Thus Filippo de’ Medici,
