[63]
Therefore you must needs bear in mind
that this will be a life-and-death struggle, and the men who have sold
themselves to Philip must be publicly cudgelled to death; for it is impossible,
impossible to quell the foes without, until you have punished the foes within
your gates, but if you let these stand as stumbling-blocks in your path, you
must fail against the others.
