enough_o in_o the_o next_o place_n also_o our_o prelate_n be_v content_v to_o allow_v the_o pope_n a_o priority_n above_o all_o bishop_n but_o a_o superiority_n seem_v more_o than_o due_a especial_o in_o england_n the_o arch_a bishop_n be_v resolve_v to_o be_v the_o supreme_a ordinary_a himself_o and_o yet_o his_o holiness_n do_v not_o think_v it_o agreeable_a to_o his_o vice-godship_n to_o admit_v of_o that_o honour_n as_o due_a to_o the_o archbishop_n the_o dispute_n be_v not_o whether_o the_o archbishop_n shall_v execute_v that_o office_n in_o his_o own_o name_n and_o right_n or_o by_o allowance_n and_o deputation_n from_o the_o pope_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o clause_n of_o salvo_fw-la jure_fw-la to_o either_o of_o they_o as_o yet_o think_v on_o these_o be_v tender_a point_n not_o to_o be_v insist_v on_o too_o rough_o at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o this_o when_o bothside_n be_v so_o far_o resolve_v of_o a_o reconciliation_n before_o hand_n there_o must_v be_v a_o more_o mind_n and_o easy_a way_n of_o compose_v thing_n then_o so_o for_o as_o the_o pope_n have_v rather_o we_o shall_v remain_v protestant_n and_o so_o desperate_a of_o salvation_n then_o that_o his_o supremacy_n shall_v be_v too_o far_o impeach_v so_o canterbury_n have_v rather_o we_o shall_v not_o turn_v papist_n then_o that_o his_o primacy_n shall_v be_v too_o far_o disable_v the_o bargain_n therefore_o at_o first_o unqualify_v be_v thus_o the_o pope_n demand_v to_o have_v a_o legate_n in_o england_n that_o shall_v be_v a_o bishop_n and_o not_o favour_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o king_n here_o will_v have_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n favour_v and_o the_o bishop_n think_v it_o needless_a for_o the_o pope_n to_o have_v any_o other_o agent_n or_o deputy_n here_o beside_o themselves_o this_o difference_n can_v hardly_o be_v compose_v all_o the_o time_n of_o seig._n panzani_n but_o at_o last_o the_o bishop_n dare_v not_o whole_o neglect_v the_o king_n interest_n and_o so_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n be_v include_v in_o the_o bargain_n and_o the_o king_n will_v not_o oppose_v the_o bishop_n interest_n and_o so_o a_o lay_v legate_n be_v agree_v upon_o and_o it_o be_v for_o the_o pope_n honour_n that_o a_o legate_n shall_v be_v for_o the_o save_n of_o his_o authority_n and_o therefore_o because_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o withstand_v both_o king_n and_o bishop_n such_o a_o legate_n be_v agree_v upon_o as_o shall_v favour_v the_o oath_n yet_o be_v no_o bishop_n it_o be_v press_v home_o to_o the_o pope_n that_o the_o archbishop_n and_o his_o party_n be_v passionate_a seeker_n of_o this_o reconciliation_n and_o in_o order_n and_o preparation_n thereunto_o have_v already_o bring_v in_o many_o rite_n ceremony_n and_o doctrine_n near_o approach_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o if_o the_o work_n be_v not_o speed_v during_o his_o life_n time_n great_a difficulty_n and_o reincounters_a be_v likely_a to_o interpose_v after_o his_o death_n and_o yet_o for_o a_o good_a space_n the_o pope_n think_v the_o condition_n too_o unequal_a so_o little_a weight_n and_o proportion_n do_v the_o soul_n of_o million_o hold_v in_o comparison_n of_o one_o temporal_a flower_n of_o the_o pope_n garland_n and_o therefore_o panzany_n skill_n and_o industry_n for_o a_o whole_a year_n can_v scarce_o master_v these_o animosity_n and_o facilitate_v the_o business_n for_o his_o next_o successor_n nevertheless_o the_o pope_n at_o last_o grow_v more_o a_o courtier_n and_o stoop_v a_o little_a to_o a_o smoothy_a compliance_n by_o his_o more_o crafty_a minister_n con_n &_o rosetti_n and_o now_o the_o plot_n of_o the_o agreement_n be_v perfect_v and_o there_o want_v nothing_o but_o the_o put_n of_o it_o into_o execution_n without_o a_o effect_v but_o by_o their_o utter_a subversion_n the_o wish_a reconciliation_n can_v not_o yet_o be_v consummate_v and_o the_o puritan_n be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n by_o far_o this_o task_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o cumbersome_a confession_n as_o our_o venetian_a hear_v say_v be_v a_o thing_n hold_v fit_a to_o be_v urge_v upon_o we_o by_o violence_n but_o fear_v of_o commotion_n hinder_v it_o and_o we_o may_v very_o probable_o conjecture_v that_o some_o other_o grosser_n point_n of_o popery_n have_v be_v obtrude_v upon_o we_o also_o by_o the_o high_a power_n but_o that_o the_o curse_a indisposition_n of_o the_o puritan_n be_v such_o that_o there_o be_v great_a hazard_n in_o the_o attempt_n howsoever_o our_o stout_a prelate_n be_v not_o out_o of_o all_o hope_n of_o carry_v their_o design_n either_o by_o fraud_n or_o force_n or_o a_o mixture_n of_o both_o and_o therefore_o see_v thing_n so_o equal_o poize_v in_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n they_o be_v resolve_v that_o no_o mere_a hazard_n shall_v whole_o deter_v they_o from_o adventure_v the_o utmost_a scotland_n appear_v whole_o almost_o puritanical_a but_o to_o counterpoise_v that_o ireland_n appear_v as_o general_o popish_a and_o for_o england_n though_o the_o major_a part_n there_o be_v puritanical_a yet_o the_o more_o potent_a in_o place_n and_o authority_n and_o the_o more_o exquisite_a in_o subtlety_n or_o rather_o treachery_n be_v popish_a or_o protestant_n that_o be_v incline_v to_o combine_v with_o papist_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o this_o there_o be_v little_a odds_o to_o disanimate_a they_o neither_o be_v their_o any_o fear_n of_o foreign_a force_n for_o under_o the_o deceitful_a pretence_n of_o our_o head-ship_n and_o association_n the_o protestant_n in_o germany_n and_o france_n be_v already_o much_o weaken_v and_o betray_v and_o make_v jealous_a of_o adhere_v to_o we_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o they_o can_v not_o help_v themselves_o at_o home_n much_o less_o annoy_n enemy_n abroad_o also_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n and_o prince_n of_o aurange_a though_o protestant_n yet_o be_v politician_n and_o therefore_o the_o interest_n of_o royalty_n will_v questionless_a prevail_v more_o with_o they_o than_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n it_o will_v please_v they_o better_a to_o see_v the_o prerogative_n gain_v in_o england_n to_o the_o damage_n of_o religion_n than_o religion_n to_o prosper_v by_o the_o diminution_n of_o prerogative_n it_o only_o remain_v then_o that_o in_o england_n they_o plot_v reconciliation_n be_v first_o put_v in_o execution_n and_o advance_v by_o as_o slow_a insensible_a degree_n as_o may_v be_v and_o great_a art_n must_v be_v use_v when_o church_n altar_n etc._n etc._n beg_v in_o to_o be_v decore_v be_v make_v to_o believe_v not_o that_o popery_n be_v to_o be_v induce_v but_o that_o a_o fair_a reconciliation_n between_o both_o church_n be_v to_o be_v procure_v and_o not_o that_o protestantisme_n be_v to_o be_v at_o all_o in_o any_o considerable_a matter_n change_v but_o that_o puritanisme_n be_v exterminate_v also_o when_o not_o only_o fair_a allurement_n but_o the_o two_o great_a carnificine_n of_o the_o land_n the_o star-chamber_n and_o high-commission_n have_v by_o rigour_n prevail_v as_o far_o as_o may_v be_v and_o when_o by_o all_o other_o mean_v the_o english_a be_v enure_v and_o familiarize_v to_o some_o popish_a rite_n under_o the_o fair_a pretence_n of_o conform_v to_o reverend_a antiquity_n then_o the_o scot_n who_o be_v not_o so_o apt_a to_o be_v enamour_a with_o the_o splendour_n and_o pomp_n of_o churchman_n as_o we_o be_v must_v be_v by_o all_o mean_v assail_v and_o urge_v to_o union_n and_o conformity_n with_o the_o church_n of_o

in_o such_o jealousy_n and_o more_o unanimous_a in_o their_o adventure_n therefore_o their_o country_n be_v to_o be_v make_v the_o first_o scene_n of_o the_o war_n and_o since_o it_o will_v be_v too_o
