A62183	The opinion of Padre Paolo of the Order of the Servites, consultor of state given to the Lords the Inquisitors of state, in what manner the republick of Venice ought to govern themselves both at home and abroad, to have perpetual dominion.; Opinione come debba governarsi internamente ed esternamente la Repubblica di Venezia.

affect_v the_o protection_n of_o the_o weak_a will_v declare_v but_o if_o the_o republic_n have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o strong_a prince_n the_o church_n will_v look_v on_o for_o fear_n of_o greatn_v too_o much_o that_o prince_n the_o rather_o because_o the_o republic_n can_v lay_v claim_n to_o none_o of_o those_o old_a ticklish_a title_n which_o some_o other_o prince_n may_v set_v afoot_n against_o the_o church_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o pope_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o emperor_n the_o republic_n must_v never_o forget_v that_o maxim_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o prince_n border_v upon_o the_o empire_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o they_o to_o see_v the_o emperor_n make_v more_o powerful_a lest_o he_o renew_v those_o antiquate_a title_n he_o have_v to_o most_o dominion_n near_o he_o and_o particular_o in_o italy_n the_o power_n of_o the_o roman_a commonwealth_n which_o extend_v almost_o over_o all_o the_o know_a world_n be_v at_o last_o usurp_v by_o julius_n caesar_n and_o from_o he_o derive_v to_o a_o long_a series_n of_o succeed_a emperor_n may_v give_v the_o german_a emperor_n a_o pretext_n to_o reckon_v with_o all_o the_o prince_n of_o europe_n if_o he_o be_v strong_a enough_o and_o perhaps_o many_o who_o wear_v crown_n will_v be_v reduce_v to_o beggary_n therefore_o it_o be_v best_o to_o keep_v he_o in_o his_o cold_a country_n of_o germany_n where_o man_n spirit_n be_v benumb_v and_o less_o undertake_v the_o republic_n have_v reason_n to_o distrust_v he_o upon_o many_o head_n as_o emperor_n he_o have_v

king_n of_o hungary_n to_o zara_n and_o the_o neighbour_a country_n so_o that_o his_o title_n and_o neighbourhood_n be_v considerable_o dangerous_a all_o these_o country_n be_v beside_o of_o great_a antiquity_n than_o the_o city_n of_o venice_n itself_o so_o that_o their_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o metropolis_n of_o a_o young_a stand_n give_v some_o suspicion_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o subjection_n all_o these_o pretence_n be_v renew_v in_o the_o league_n of_o cambray_n therefore_o i_o think_v without_o hesitation_n i_o may_v pronounce_v that_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o republic_n that_o the_o emperor_n shall_v be_v keep_v low_a both_o for_o general_n and_o particular_a reason_n from_o these_o reflection_n we_o may_v also_o conclude_v that_o the_o emperor_n to_o these_o title_n do_v not_o want_v inclination_n to_o acquire_v a_o part_n of_o the_o territory_n of_o the_o republic_n particular_o it_o be_v yet_o a_o complaint_n of_o that_o prince_n of_o the_o little_a respect_n show_v he_o by_o the_o republic_n when_o take_v advantage_n of_o his_o distraction_n they_o erect_v the_o fortress_n of_o palma_n nuova_n just_a under_o his_o nose_n there_o remain_v therefore_o to_o see_v what_o facility_n he_o may_v find_v in_o such_o a_o attempt_n in_o the_o present_a state_n of_o his_o affair_n while_o the_o faction_n of_o the_o protestant_n be_v so_o strong_a in_o germany_n i_o can_v think_v that_o he_o can_v quarrel_v with_o the_o republic_n which_o be_v as_o powerful_a in_o money_n as_o he_o be_v in_o man_n for_o in_o length_n of_o time_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o who_o have_v money_n may_v have_v man_n and_o they_o who_o have_v many_o man_n must_v consume_v much_o money_n it_o be_v true_a he_o be_v so_o near_o a_o borderer_n upon_o the_o republic_n it_o may_v give_v he_o the_o more_o confidence_n because_o a_o lesser_a number_n will_v be_v necessary_a to_o make_v the_o invasion_n but_o if_o the_o enterprise_n be_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o whole_a empire_n in_o which_o case_n the_o whole_a german_a nation_n will_v be_v a_o party_n i_o believe_v with_o the_o help_n of_o his_o own_o patrimonial_a dominion_n he_o will_v not_o do_v any_o great_a matter_n the_o rather_o because_o many_o great_a heretical_a prince_n and_o city_n of_o germany_n have_v the_o same_o interest_n to_o keep_v he_o low_o so_o that_o as_o he_o may_v perhaps_o be_v pretty_a smart_n upon_o a_o invasion_n or_o incursion_n at_o length_n of_o time_n he_o will_v prove_v as_o weak_a to_o hold_v out_o a_o war_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o erect_v the_o fortress_n of_o palma_n nuova_n to_o obviate_v a_o sudden_a incursion_n of_o his_o force_n and_o provide_v a_o retreat_n for_o the_o country_n people_n so_o to_o gain_v time_n which_o be_v always_o as_o advantageous_a to_o the_o republic_n as_o dangerous_a to_o such_o a_o enemy_n who_o if_o he_o have_v not_o some_o body_n to_o furnish_v he_o with_o money_n will_v get_v but_o little_a ground_n though_o his_o army_n be_v numerous_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o maximilian_n now_o whether_o the_o republic_n have_v any_o title_n inclination_n or_o facility_n to_o acquire_v any_o part_n of_o the_o emperor_n territory_n i_o answer_v that_o without_o doubt_n the_o republic_n have_v pretence_n upon_o goritia_n and_o gradisca_n which_o former_o belong_v to_o the_o family_n of_o the_o frangipani_n and_o for_o a_o little_a while_n be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o republic_n there_o be_v likewise_o some_o castle_n in_o istria_n and_o upon_o the_o coast_n which_o the_o republic_n claim_v and_o for_o a_o inclination_n to_o acquire_v these_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o the_o republic_n have_v it_o it_o be_v either_o the_o

above_o half_a the_o title_n and_o if_o that_o be_v want_v it_o be_v imprudence_n to_o own_o any_o part_n of_o a_o pretence_n that_o must_v remain_v without_o execution_n i_o believe_v by_o sea_n it_o will_v prove_v easy_a to_o take_v trieste_n and_o some_o other_o place_n but_o it_o will_v be_v as_o hard_a to_o maintain_v they_o and_o to_o go_v further_o into_o the_o land_n will_v need_v great_a

which_o always_o must_v one_o time_n or_o another_o be_v succeed_v by_o peace_n some_o of_o the_o country_n may_v remain_v by_o treaty_n in_o the_o venetian_n hand_n for_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o

will_v be_v better_a to_o watch_v the_o occasion_n of_o some_o extremity_n or_o pinch_v of_o a_o emperor_n which_o often_o happen_v and_o buy_v these_o place_n but_o then_o be_v aware_a that_o if_o

the_o emperor_n shall_v unite_v with_o the_o republic_n to_o acquire_v the_o state_n of_o any_o other_o prince_n in_o italy_n because_o first_o for_o spain_n they_o be_v the_o same_o family_n with_o

they_o so_o that_o this_o union_n will_v prove_v difficult_a if_o the_o emperor_n shall_v fall_v out_o with_o some_o of_o these_o duke_n his_o vassal_n and_o depose_v they_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o if_o spain_n be_v busy_a elsewhere_o and_o the_o emperor_n loath_a to_o take_v the_o trouble_n of_o chastise_v

they_o himself_o alone_o he_o may_v then_o unite_v with_o the_o republic_n upon_o condition_n to_o have_v the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o spoil_n but_o if_o the_o emperor_n shall_v as_o former_o come_v to_o a_o great_a rupture_n with_o the_o church_n and_o employ_v hearty_o his_o power_n in_o the_o quarrel_n it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o he_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o engage_v the_o republic_n by_o a_o promise_n of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o conquest_n i_o think_v in_o any_o other_o way_n it_o be_v not_o probable_a to_o make_v any_o advantage_n of_o the_o imperial_a assistance_n the_o last_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o can_v unite_v with_o other_o against_o the_o republic_n and_o of_o this_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n for_o if_o maximilian_n though_o infinite_o oblige_v to_o the_o republic_n make_v no_o difficulty_n to_o unite_v in_o a_o league_n with_o lewis_n the_o twelve_o of_o france_n his_o competitor_n and_o enemy_n who_o for_o injury_n receive_v he_o have_v declare_v a_o rebel_n to_o the_o sacred_a empire_n though_o lewis_n laugh_v at_o that_o imaginary_a jurisdiction_n i_o say_v if_o he_o can_v submit_v to_o join_v with_o so_o suspect_v a_o power_n much_o less_o will_v the_o emperor_n now_o scruple_n the_o unite_n either_o with_o spain_n or_o the_o pope_n or_o any_o other_o prince_n of_o italy_n not_o only_o for_o to_o acquire_v territory_n but_o even_o for_o bare_a money_n if_o it_o be_v offer_v he_o with_o france_n i_o believe_v the_o union_n will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_a as_o it_o be_v then_o because_o now_o the_o emperor_n be_v partial_a for_o spain_n if_o their_o interest_n do_v not_o concur_v they_o will_v hinder_v he_o from_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o any_o hope_n or_o promise_n but_o this_o will_v appear_v better_o when_o we_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o spain_n for_o if_o spain_n will_v have_v a_o league_n against_o the_o republic_n the_o emperor_n will_v never_o stand_v out_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o france_n it_o
