there_o be_v one_o of_o that_o party_n herbert_n f._n f._n compile_v a_o treatise_n in_o italian_a to_o advise_v his_o holiness_n that_o it_o be_v not_o good_a nor_o profitable_a to_o the_o catholic_n

and_o the_o low-countries_n i_o suppose_v have_v a_o power_n give_v he_o over_o our_o roman_a catholic_n for_o his_o immediate_a predecessor_n airoldi_n have_v it_o and_o come_v over_o hither_o in_o

much_o reason_n to_o credit_n and_o yet_o if_o any_o one_o doubt_n of_o his_o testimony_n he_o may_v see_v as_o much_o write_v by_o a_o nuncio_n himself_o who_o be_v also_o this_o man_n predecessor_n i_o think_v his_o word_n go_v something_o beyond_o those_o of_o falconieri_n unless_o they_o like_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n better_o than_o the_o irish_a remonstrance_n which_o whosoever_o compare_v they_o will_v judge_v they_o can_v well_o do_v according_a to_o their_o principle_n and_o yet_o of_o that_o remonstrance_n it_o be_v that_o the_o former_a nuncio_n vecchii_fw-la give_v his_o

they_o be_v as_o good_a have_v ask_v pardon_n for_o what_o they_o have_v do_v as_o promise_v to_o do_v so_o no_o more_o which_o promise_n in_o few_o word_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o remonstrance_n by_o these_o indication_n we_o may_v guess_v at_o that_o which_o may_v otherwise_o have_v be_v a_o mystery_n to_o we_o namely_o why_o so_o many_o leading-man_n of_o that_o communion_n in_o england_n who_o refuse_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n be_v so_o much_o against_o the_o frame_n of_o any_o other_o test._n it_o may_v seem_v very_o strange_a that_o they_o who_o be_v so_o loud_o above_o all_o other_o in_o cry_v out_o of_o persecution_n be_v yet_o so_o extreme_o averse_a from_o do_v that_o which_o be_v the_o only_a sure_a way_n to_o avoid_v it_o namely_o from_o give_v public_a security_n to_o the_o state_n but_o their_o meaning_n be_v plain_a they_o will_v not_o have_v popery_n garble_v out_o of_o their_o religion_n nor_o those_o principle_n forswear_v that_o may_v be_v useful_a when_o time_n serve_v if_o it_o be_v know_v who_o be_v the_o pope_n and_o who_o be_v the_o king_n subject_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v the_o pope_n will_v be_v leave_v single_a and_o that_o they_o themselves_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v of_o that_o number_n i_o can_v blame_v they_o that_o they_o have_v much_o rather_o keep_v themselves_o in_o the_o herd_n and_o therefore_o persuade_v all_o man_n of_o their_o church_n rather_o to_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o a_o general_a undistinguish_a persecution_n than_o to_o submit_v to_o such_o a_o test_n as_o may_v enable_v the_o state_n to_o know_v its_o enemy_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o who_o they_o serve_v may_v despair_v of_o arrive_v at_o his_o end_n upon_o england_n any_o otherwise_o than_o by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n england_n viz._n either_o by_o a_o undistinguish_a execution_n of_o the_o law_n against_o all_o roman_a catholic_n in_o general_n or_o by_o a_o undistinguish_a toleration_n
