The yoong king reioising that he had his brethren thus on his side, readie to take his part, became more stout than before, and for answere vnto the messen|gers that came to him from his father, he declared that if his father would deliuer vp the whole gouern|ment into his hands, he would be content to breake vp his armie. As for such souldiers as would willing|lie take his part in this quarell, he caused them to sweare that they should faithfullie serue him against his aduersaries: and those that had rather serue on the other side, he licenced them fréelie to depart and go to his father.
