no_o sorrow_n nor_o fear_n and_o yet_o the_o clergy_n not_o content_v to_o see_v they_o in_o this_o deplorable_a estate_n must_v needs_o have_v they_o utter_o destroy_v and_o therefore_o will_v never_o give_v over_o their_o design_n until_o they_o have_v accomplish_v it_o 17._o and_o to_o make_v this_o evident_a there_o need_v no_o more_o but_o read_v a_o oration_n make_v by_o the_o bishop_n of_o vsez_fw-fr before_o the_o king_n in_o name_n of_o the_o whole_a clergy_n wherein_o have_v first_o render_v thanks_o to_o his_o majesty_n for_o what_o he_o have_v already_o do_v against_o we_o and_o then_o petition_v he_o for_o a_o present_a declaration_n prohibit_v catholic_n to_o embrace_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o for_o another_o decree_n incorporate_n the_o mix_v court_n

in_o capacity_n to_o effect_v it_o i_o hope_v the_o king_n will_v beware_v to_o follow_v counsel_n so_o terrible_a and_o violent_a and_o be_o sure_a will_v have_v be_v much_o more_o edify_v have_v he_o see_v the_o bishop_n more_o human_a more_o christian_n and_o more_o agreeable_a to_o their_o profession_n but_o here_o we_o yet_o see_v their_o design_n and_o what_o we_o may_v just_o expect_v from_o a_o party_n equal_o powerful_a and_o malicious_o inflame_v against_o we_o 18._o that_o our_o misery_n may_v be_v yet_o more_o pierce_v to_o injustice_n they_o add_v derision_n and_o scoff_v and_o by_o those_o who_o have_v do_v we_o the_o great_a injury_n publish_v abroad_o that_o we_o be_v marvellous_o well_o use_v and_o have_v all_o reason_n to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o their_o

to_o sentence_n against_o we_o and_o upon_o the_o other_o hand_n when_o we_o see_v the_o province_n of_o bearn_n so_o cruel_o use_v by_o the_o parliament_n of_o pau_n that_o after_o innumerable_a

the_o clergy_n of_o bearn_n by_o their_o petition_n agree_v with_o the_o parliament_n have_v require_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n which_o the_o clergy_n of_o france_n require_v in_o that_o oration_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o vsez_fw-fr make_v before_o the_o king_n and_o now_o publish_v in_o print_n when_o i_o say_v we_o see_v and_o consider_v these_o thing_n have_v we_o not_o just_a cause_n to_o
