truth_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n bring_v into_o the_o world_n the_o violence_n of_o provoke_v people_n have_v no_o more_o power_n against_o it_o then_o the_o wind_n have_v power_n to_o change_v the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n this_o be_v it_o why_o i_o make_v my_o prediction_n quite_o contrary_a to_o you_o and_o instead_o of_o the_o decline_v which_o you_o speak_v of_o i_o assure_v myself_o that_o it_o will_v flourish_v and_o chase_v away_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o age_n by_o the_o brightness_n of_o it_o and_o i_o wonder_v how_o you_o can_v delude_v yourself_o with_o such_o a_o hope_n in_o a_o time_n wherein_o our_o religion_n receive_v so_o great_a increase_n in_o the_o low_a country_n and_o in_o germany_n and_o wherein_o the_o greek_a church_n do_v range_v themselves_o under_o our_o confession_n be_v draw_v thereunto_o by_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n this_o without_o doubt_n be_v one_o of_o the_o praise_n which_o you_o reserve_v for_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n to_o have_v contribute_v to_o so_o good_a a_o work_n of_o who_o beside_o his_o valour_n and_o success_n you_o will_v advance_v his_o clemency_n and_o for_o this_o that_o in_o place_n conquer_v he_o have_v use_v no_o violence_n against_o the_o roman_a clergy_n but_o let_v even_o the_o jesuite_n themselves_o alone_o although_o they_o teach_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o kill_v king_n and_o that_o many_o parricide_n have_v come_v out_o of_o their_o school_n who_o have_v late_o call_v this_o king_n anti_n christ_n do_v now_o in_o their_o college_n make_v declamation_n to_o his_o praise_n and_o if_o our_o church_n in_o france_n do_v suffer_v any_o diminution_n this_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o contrary_a party_n but_o from_o the_o avarice_n of_o some_o of_o our_o nobility_n who_o wind_v we_o in_o give_v ear_n to_o that_o tibidabo_n which_o the_o devil_n propound_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v find_v of_o thosewho_o be_v
