[61]
Therefore
you must needs bear in mind that this is a life-and-death struggle, and the men
who have sold themselves to Philip must be abhorred and cudgelled to death, for
it is impossible to quell the foes without, until you have punished those within
your gates [who are Philip's servants; but if you are tripped by these
stumbling-blocks, you are sure to be baulked of the others].
