our_o own_o time_n and_o therein_o remember_v what_o a_o panegyrik_n 3._o oration_n be_v make_v by_o the_o pope_n in_o praise_n and_o approbation_n of_o the_o friar_n and_o his_o fact_n that_o

that_o the_o say_a friar_n be_v not_o canonize_v for_o that_o glorious_a act_n be_v better_a know_v to_o bellarmine_n and_o his_o follower_n then_o to_o we_o here_o but_o sure_o i_o be_o if_o some_o

prove_v bellarmine_n a_o liar_n in_o this_o case_n and_o to_o draw_v yet_o near_o unto_o ourselves_o how_o many_o practice_n and_o attempt_n be_v make_v against_o the_o late_a queen_n life_n which_o be_v direct_o enjoin_v to_o those_o traitor_n by_o their_o confessor_n and_o plain_o authorize_v by_o the_o pope_n allowance_n for_o verification_n whereof_o there_o need_v no_o more_o proof_n then_o that_o never_o pope_n either_o then_o or_o since_o call_v any_o churchman_n in_o question_n for_o meddle_v in_o those_o treasonable_a conspiracy_n nay_o the_o cardinal_n own_o s._n sanderus_n

this_o and_o what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o kill_n or_o allow_v the_o slaughter_n of_o king_n and_o the_o stir_v up_o and_o approbation_n of_o practice_n to_o kill_v they_o i_o remit_v to_o bellarmine_n own_o judgement_n it_o may_v then_o very_o clear_o appear_v how_o strange_o this_o author_n passion_n have_v make_v he_o forget_v himself_o by_o implicate_v himself_o in_o

any_o other_o shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o reconcile_v i_o will_v then_o believe_v that_o he_o may_v easy_o reconcile_v this_o impudent_a strong_a denial_n of_o he_o in_o his_o letter_n of_o any_o pope_n meddle_v against_o king_n with_o his_o own_o former_a book_n as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o imitate_v he_o in_o affirm_v bold_o that_o which_o i_o no_o
