expedient_a for_o all_o catholic_n if_o the_o effect_n be_v correspondent_a to_o the_o word_n but_o in_o stead_n of_o make_v a_o union_n of_o catholic_n they_o have_v use_v this_o holy_a pretext_n to_o have_v a_o cast_v only_o at_o the_o king_n &_o to_o divide_v the_o catholic_n by_o this_o mean_n into_o side_n bring_v in_o by_o this_o division_n all_o the_o disorder_n and_o riot_n that_o you_o

the_o reason_n why_o they_o call_v it_o so_o be_v because_o they_o have_v join_v their_o drift_n to_o reform_v the_o estate_n with_o the_o pretext_n of_o the_o holy_a league_n whereby_o they_o have_v

all_o that_o the_o lorraine_n prince_n promise_v be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o this_o conspiracy_n they_o have_v swear_v and_o protest_v to_o you_o to_o encourage_v you_o &_o to_o make_v you_o think_v well_o of_o their_o factious_a fetch_n &_o proceed_n that_o they_o wish_v the_o ruin_n of_o heretic_n and_o under_o this_o false_a pretence_n they_o have_v attempt_v against_o their_o king_n they_o let_v their_o army_n take_v up_o the_o best_a place_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o lodge_v themselves_o and_o their_o soldier_n where_o never_o any_o soldier_n come_v before_o and_o the_o profit_n
