cruelty_n have_v they_o not_o use_v in_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o to_o extinguish_v the_o reformation_n there_o and_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o compass_v their_o design_n not_o even_o since_o the_o

question_n now_o be_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v good_a protestant_n or_o no_o and_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n but_o however_o this_o at_o least_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n papist_n and_o consequent_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o the_o protestant_a religion_n will_v never_o go_v out_o of_o france_n unless_o the_o protestant_n themselves_o

present_a persecution_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n advantageous_a to_o popery_n and_o by_o what_o follow_v it_o will_v be_v as_o evident_a that_o the_o romish_a religion_n lose_v its_o authority_n and_o reputation_n in_o france_n and_o people_n eye_n begin_v to_o be_v more_o and_o more_o open_a every_o day_n both_o the_o outrage_n and_o the_o persecutor_n and_o the_o complaint_n of_o the_o persecute_a make_v they_o very_a intent_n upon_o the_o great_a concern_v of_o religion_n which_o perhaps_o they_o never_o will_v have_v trouble_v their_o head_n with_o have_v they_o let_v thing_n

of_o threescore_o or_o fourscore_o thousand_o inhabitant_n whereof_o one_o third_z have_v some_o knowledge_n and_o very_o favourable_a sentiment_n of_o the_o truth_n this_o we_o know_v for_o certain_a because_o we_o see_v for_o these_o 12_o or_o 15_o year_n proselyte_n come_v over_o to_o we_o from_o popery_n in_o great_a number_n than_o ever_o we_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o among_o these_o

that_o the_o great_a necessity_n these_o clergyman_n be_v threaten_v with_o by_o forsake_v both_o their_o native_a country_n and_o religion_n be_v a_o powerful_a temptation_n that_o few_o be_v able_a

of_o the_o high_a power_n all_o we_o can_v do_v for_o they_o be_v to_o help_v they_o with_o our_o prayer_n which_o god_n will_v we_o hope_v hear_v in_o due_a time_n if_o we_o consider_v how_o much_o
