¶_o a_o discourse_n touch_v the_o pretend_a match_n between_o the_o duke_n of_o norfolk_n and_o the_o queen_n of_o scot_n for_o as_o much_o as_o of_o late_o it_o have_v be_v give_v out_o that_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o gospel_n here_o among_o we_o and_o the_o safety_n of_o our_o sovereign_n shall_v depend_v upon_o a_o match_n to_o be_v have_v between_o the_o duke_n of_o norfolk_n and_o the_o q._n of_o scot_n for_o that_o otherwise_o she_o marry_v a_o foreign_a prince_n may_v grow_v to_o that_o strength_n as_o our_o sovereign_n force_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o countervail_v the_o same_o a_o thing_n very_o dangerous_a consider_v her_o asspire_a mind_n whereby_o both_o this_o present_a state_n and_o religion_n shall_v be_v in_o hazard_n and_o further_o that_o the_o unite_n of_o these_o two_o realm_n by_o this_o match_n may_v make_v we_o equal_a in_o strength_n to_o our_o neighbour_n that_o border_n about_o we_o i_o think_v good_a by_o consideration_n of_o her_o parson_n and_o of_o his_o person_n of_o the_o match_n to_o be_v have_v between_o they_o and_o of_o the_o present_a state_n of_o this_o realm_n to_o see_v whether_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v less_o danger_n in_o common_a reason_n to_o have_v her_o match_v rather_o abroad_o then_o at_o home_n though_o it_o seem_v a_o very_a strange_a proposition_n to_o be_v propon_v by_o any_o subject_n of_o this_o land_n whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v her_o marry_a abroad_o then_o at_o home_n she_o remain_v under_o our_o sovereign_n government_n to_o dispose_v of_o her_o marriage_n or_o not_o marry_v as_o shall_v seem_v to_o make_v most_o for_o her_o safety_n what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o to_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o her_o majesty_n may_v govern_v or_o not_o govern_v in_o she_o own_o realm_n a_o consideration_n of_o the_o q._n of_o scot_n person_n in_o religion_n she_o be_v either_o a_o papist_n which_o be_v evil_a or_o else_o a_o atheist_n which_o be_v werse_n and_o in_o league_n join_v with_o the_o confederate_a enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a league_n to_o root_v out_o all_o such_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n as_o be_v professor_n of_o the_o same_o a_o thing_n well_o know_v though_o not_o general_o of_o nation_n she_o be_v a_o scot_n of_o which_o nation_n i_o forbear_v to_o say_v what_o may_v be_v say_v in_o a_o reverend_a respect_n of_o a_o few_o godly_a of_o that_o nation_n of_o inclination_n how_o she_o be_v give_v let_v she_o own_o horrible_a act_n public_o know_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n witness_n though_o now_o of_o late_a certain_a seduce_v by_o practice_n seek_v to_o cloak_n and_o hide_v the_o same_o of_o aliance_n of_o the_o mother_n side_n how_o she_o be_v descend_v of_o a_o race_n that_o be_v both_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o the_o common_a quiet_n to_o europe_n everye_o man_n know_v but_o alas_o to_o many_o have_v feel_v in_o good_a will_n towards_o our_o sovereign_n she_o have_v show_v herself_o sundry_a
