a_o excellent_a thing_n for_o england_n to_o fight_v with_o spaniard_n but_o not_o to_o join_v with_o spaniard_n against_o other_o p._n h._n why_o shall_v not_o our_o english_a fleet_n go_v for_o the_o west_n indies_n q._n m._n if_o this_o proposition_n be_v broach_v than_o gondomar_n will_v run_v mad_a e._n 6._o what_o difference_n be_v there_o betwixt_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n p._n h._n as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v between_o pepper_n and_o silver_n or_o white_a feather_n and_o yellow_a gold_n h._n 8._o o_o but_o england_n near_o this_o twenty_o year_n have_v lose_v those_o golden_a time_n of_o go_v to_o the_o garden_n of_o hesperide_n p._n h._n and_o now_o holland_n after_o ten_o year_n trial_n and_o patience_n resolve_v to_o find_v they_o q._n e._n now_o we_o speak_v of_o holland_n it_o again_o exceed_o grieve_v i_o that_o england_n go_v from_o holland_n in_o that_o it_o will_v not_o protect_v it_o against_o spain_n q._n m._n and_o true_o it_o be_v my_o joy_n and_o comfort_n to_o understand_v it_o for_o the_o far_a england_n go_v from_o holland_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o near_a spain_n come_v to_o england_n p._n h._n nay_o if_o the_o match_n hold_v holland_n can_v expect_v no_o assistance_n from_o england_n for_o the_o pope_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n gondomar_n the_o jesuit_n and_o english_a recusant_n will_v in_o few_o year_n so_o shuffle_v &_o deal_v the_o card_n as_o england_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o assist_v herself_o much_o less_o her_o neighbour_n e_o 6._o why_o that_o be_v the_o way_n in_o a_o few_o more_o year_n to_o make_v england_n a_o province_n to_o spain_n q_o e._n yea_o yea_o there_o be_v the_o mystery_n for_o if_o the_o match_n with_o spain_n hold_v the_o conquest_n of_o england_n will_v undoubted_o follow_v and_o then_o gondomar_n can_v be_v no_o less_o than_o viceroy_n or_o great_a commander_n of_o england_n for_o the_o king_n and_o council_n of_o spain_n will_v judge_v he_o worthy_a of_o this_o honour_n because_o he_o have_v deserve_v it_o p._n h._n it_o be_v better_a spain_n be_v hell_n and_o gondomar_n viceroy_n to_o the_o devil_n as_o he_o be_v now_o ambassador_n to_o the_o catholic_a king_n q._n a._n but_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v so_o little_a justice_n and_o charity_n and_o so_o much_o vanity_n and_o ambition_n to_o desire_v it_o e._n 6._o the_o king_n of_o spain_n make_v this_o the_o ten_o article_n of_o their_o creed_n that_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o empire_n and_o state_n ought_v to_o give_v law_n but_o not_o to_o receive_v any_o q._n e._n but_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n q._n m._n but_o in_o the_o council_n of_o spain_n the_o rule_n of_o state_n be_v always_o too_o sublime_a and_o powerful_a for_o those_o of_o religion_n yea_o the_o pope_n will_v easy_o dispense_v with_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n to_o make_v a_o conquest_n of_o england_n either_o by_o treachery_n hostility_n or_o the_o match_n for_o it_o be_v against_o a_o heretic_n king_n and_o people_n who_o refuse_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n &_o therefore_o lawful_a in_o itself_o because_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o catholic_a cause_n the_o displant_n and_o root_n out_o of_o heretic_n and_o the_o establish_n &_o preservation_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_n in_o england_n q._n e._n those_o giddy_a and_o passionate_a roman_a catholic_n of_o england_n who_o desire_v to_o fish_n in_o trouble_a water_n who_o delight_n in_o nothing_o but_o in_o innovation_n and_o novelty_n and_o who_o make_v a_o may-game_n of_o conscience_n and_o a_o ape_n of_o religion_n may_v peradventure_o flatter_v themselves_o with_o the_o false_a sunshine_n of_o these_o hope_n but_o those_o of_o they_o who_o heart_n be_v better_o lodge_v and_o who_o eye_n and_o judgement_n can_v see_v far_o and_o clear_a those_o i_o say_v who_o know_v by_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n and_o nature_n what_o they_o owe_v to_o god_n to_o their_o lawful_a prince_n and_o country_n those_o remember_v that_o the_o duke_n of_o medina_n sydonia_n say_v in_o eighty_o eight_o who_o be_v then_o general_n of_o the_o spanish_a fleet_n that_o his_o commission_n be_v not_o to_o distinguish_v of_o religion_n but_o to_o make_v a_o passage_n with_o his_o sword_n over_o both_o religion_n without_o exception_n that_o thereby_o the_o king_n his_o master_n may_v have_v the_o easy_a way_n and_o fair_a passage_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n of_o england_n therefore_o we_o need_v no_o perspective_n glass_n or_o spectacle_n to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o establish_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n but_o of_o himself_o in_o england_n whereat_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n still_o aim_v q._n m._n but_o count_n gondomar_n be_v wise_a enough_o to_o provide_v a_o plaster_n for_o that_o sore_a for_o he_o in_o nettle_v the_o noble_a sort_n of_o catholic_n with_o the_o match_n have_v in_o plain_a term_n give_v the_o lie_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o medina_n his_o speech_n and_o therefore_o he_o hope_v they_o will_v believe_v he_o p._n h._n the_o noble_a and_o more_o passionate_a and_o factious_a sort_n of_o they_o may_v believe_v gondomar_n herein_o but_o the_o wise_a temperate_a and_o conscious_a will_v not_o and_o yet_o the_o feminine_a gender_n be_v masculine_a stickler_n and_o solicitor_n for_o he_o as_o he_o and_o the_o jesuit_n be_v for_o the_o king_n his_o master_n q._n e._n nay_o the_o roman_a catholic_n of_o england_n have_v reason_n to_o believe_v gondomar_n since_o king_n james_n love_v he_o so_o well_o as_o he_o esteem_v his_o speech_n oracle_n and_o scripture_n and_o who_o with_o the_o quintessence_n of_o his_o castillian_a or_o rather_o galician_n brain_n have_v now_o bring_v matter_n to_o this_o pass_n that_o no_o cinsere_fw-fr advice_n honest_a letter_n religious_a sermon_n or_o true_a picture_n can_v point_v at_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n but_o they_o be_v call_v in_o and_o their_o author_n imprison_v in_o stead_n of_o reward_v though_o never_o so_o honest_a and_o loyal_a subject_n h._n 8._o but_o i_o think_v that_o this_o be_v no_o subtle_a policy_n of_o gondomar_n for_o the_o more_o he_o strive_v to_o suppress_v the_o truth_n the_o more_o it_o will_v flourish_v and_o prevail_v for_o for_o the_o good_a of_o england_n if_o one_o pen_n or_o tongue_n be_v command_v to_o silence_n they_o will_v occasion_v and_o set_v ten_o at_o liberty_n to_o write_v and_o speak_v as_o grass_n or_o cammomell_n which_o the_o more_o it_o be_v depress_v the_o thick_a it_o will_v spread_v and_o grow_v q._n m._n but_o have_v not_o gondomar_n reason_n to_o strike_v while_o he_o find_v the_o iron_n hot_a and_o to_o take_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o flood_n before_o the_o ebb_n come_v or_o the_o tide_n be_v spend_v q._n a._n indeed_o they_o say_v he_o report_v that_o this_o summer_n time_n the_o air_n of_o london_n and_o islington_n be_v not_o sweet_a enough_o either_o for_o his_o fistula_n or_o perfume_a brain_n and_o that_o he_o have_v therefore_o get_v leave_n of_o his_o majesty_n to_o lodge_v in_o a_o part_n of_o his_o palace_n of_o greenwich_n which_o stand_v in_o so_o pure_a a_o air_n upon_o the_o pleasant_a crystal_n river_n of_o thames_n q._n e._n that_o be_v a_o presumptuous_a part_n of_o gondomar_n indeed_o to_o aspire_v to_o lodge_v in_o that_o pleasant_a and_o royal_a palace_n of_o greenwich_n q_o m._n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o to_o lodge_v there_o himself_o but_o only_o to_o square_v out_o the_o infanta_n lodging_n her_o chamber_n of_o presence_n and_o a_o plot_n to_o build_v her_o grace_n a_o chapel_n against_o she_o come_v whereof_o jones_n sir_n innigo_n have_v already_o the_o model_n in_o his_o brain_n p._n h._n if_o king_n james_n my_o father_n lodge_n gondomar_n this_o summer_n in_o greenwich_n the_o next_o king_n philip_n himself_o will_v hope_v to_o lie_v in_o white-hall_n e._n 6._o nay_o soft_a first_o let_v his_o daughter_n the_o infanta_n come_v for_o she_o must_v break_v the_o ice_n ere_o his_o catholic_a majesty_n will_v dare_v adventure_n to_o come_v pass_v the_o sea_n hither_o q._n m._n adventure_n to_o come_v why_o wherefore_o else_o say_v count_n gondomar_n lie_v king_n james_n his_o fleet_n at_o alicant_n and_o cartagena_n but_o to_o transport_v she_o for_o england_n this_o summer_n q._n e._n until_o i_o be_o enforce_v to_o understand_v that_o that_o fleet_n be_v at_o lisbon_n the_o groin_n or_o saint_n andera_n i_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o but_o then_o i_o will_v fear_v it_o q._n m._n so_o the_o heretic_n protestant_n of_o france_n fear_v their_o spanish_a match_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v they_o prosper_v q._n a._n it_o be_v the_o end_n which_o crown_v the_o

to_o be_v a_o child_n therefore_o he_o be_v confident_a and_o sure_a that_o the_o match_n will_v hold_v but_o withal_o he_o say_v the_o parliament_n must_v be_v end_v ere_o these_o royal_a nuptial_a ceremony_n can_v begin_v and_o so_o i_o think_v to_o e._n 6._o indeed_o this_o castillian_a ambassador_n now_o sail_v before_o wind_n and_o tide_n under_o foresail_n and_o maine-top-sayle_n but_o very_o short_o he_o hope_v to_o hoist_v up_o top_n and_o top-gallant_n p.h._n he_o may_v chance_v to_o pack_v on_o so_o much_o sail_n that_o he_o may_v at_o last_o crack_v the_o main_a mast_n of_o his_o policy_n or_o the_o main_a stay_n of_o his_o hope_n or_o be_v so_o busy_a and_o violent_a in_o the_o solicitation_n of_o this_o match_n as_o he_o himself_o may_v give_v himself_o a_o shot_n which_o may_v sink_v either_o his_o reputation_n or_o judgement_n or_o both_o betwixt_o wind_n and_o water_n q._n e._n intruth_o i_o find_v his_o predicessor_n mendoza_n too_o busy_a and_o dangerous_a in_o my_o state_n and_o therefore_o i_o forbid_v he_o my_o presence_n and_o discharge_v he_o my_o kingdom_n whereat_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o or_o the_o king_n his_o master_n more_o grieve_v or_o my_o council_n and_o my_o country_n rejoice_v q._n a._n gondomare_n have_v have_v time_n enough_o to_o know_v my_o husband_n king_n james_n but_o it_o seem_v king_n james_n have_v not_o yet_o

the_o king_n and_o council_n of_o spain_n which_o be_v envelop_v and_o hood-winked_n under_o the_o mystery_n of_o this_o match_n h._n 8._o indeed_o i_o have_v read_v that_o philip_n k._n of_o
