For examples of the second sort of lineage, that began with greatness and maintains it still without adding to it, there are the many princes who have inherited the dignity, and maintain themselves in their inheritance, without increasing or diminishing it, keeping peacefully within the limits of their states.
Del segundo linaje, que tuvo principio en grandeza y la conserva sin aumentarla, serán ejemplo muchos príncipes que por herencia lo son, y se conservan en ella, sin aumentarla ni diminuirla, conteniéndose en los límites de sus estados pacíficamente.
