the_o guisars_n hap_n to_o serve_v for_o boutefeus_n in_o scotland_n and_o while_o it_o shall_v please_v your_o majesty_n but_o with_o reasonable_a favour_n to_o support_v the_o king_n of_o navarre_n

even_o the_o countenance_n of_o unite_a power_n do_v much_o in_o matter_n of_o state_n for_o the_o weaken_n of_o he_o i_o will_v i_o must_v confess_v from_o my_o heart_n wish_v that_o your_o majesty_n

of_o spain_n without_o the_o low_a country_n he_o may_v trouble_v our_o skirt_n of_o ireland_n but_o can_v never_o come_v to_o grasp_v with_o you_o but_o if_o he_o once_o reduce_v the_o

with_o foreign_a enemy_n factious_a i_o call_v they_o because_o they_o be_v discontent_v of_o who_o in_o all_o reason_n of_o state_n your_o majesty_n must_v determine_v if_o you_o will_v suffer_v they_o to_o be_v strong_a to_o make_v they_o the_o better_a content_n or_o if_o you_o will_v discontent_n they_o by_o make_v they_o weak_a for_o what_o the_o mixture_n of_o strength_n and_o

it_o in_o my_o opinion_n but_o a_o fair_a enamling_n of_o a_o terrible_a danger_n for_o first_o man_n nature_n be_v not_o only_o to_o strive_v against_o a_o present_a smart_n but_o to_o revenge_v bypass_a injury_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o well_o content_v hereafter_o which_o can_v be_v so_o sufficient_a a_o pledge_n to_o your_o majesty_n but_o that_o when_o opportunity_n shall_v flatter_v they_o they_o will_v remem_fw-la +ber_v not_o the_o after_o slack_v but_o the_o former_a bind_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o when_o they_o shall_v imagine_v this_o relent_a rather_o to_o proceed_v from_o fear_n the_o which_o be_v the_o poison_n of_o all_o government_n when_o the_o subject_n think_v the_o prince_n do_v any_o thing_n more_o out_o of_o fear_n then_o favour_n and_o therefore_o the_o roman_n will_v rather_o abide_v the_o uttermost_a extremity_n then_o by_o their_o subject_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o any_o condition_n again_o for_o to_o make_v they_o content_v absolute_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o your_o majesty_n either_o in_o conscience_n will_v do_v or_o in_o policy_n may_v do_v it_o since_o you_o can_v thorough_o discontent_n your_o faithful_a subject_n and_o to_o fasten_v a_o unreconciled_a love_n with_o the_o lose_n of_o certain_a love_n be_v to_o build_v a_o house_n with_o the_o sale_n of_o land_n so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o that_o your_o

only_a instrument_n both_o of_o your_o council_n and_o power_n and_o to_o make_v they_o half_a content_n and_o half_a discontent_n methinks_v carry_v with_o it_o as_o deceitful_a a_o shadow_n of_o reason_n as_o can_v be_v since_o there_o be_v no_o pain_n so_o small_a but_o if_o we_o can_v cast_v it_o off_o we_o will_v and_o no_o man_n love_v one_o the_o better_a for_o give_v he_o the_o bastinado_n though_o with_o never_o so_o little_a a_o cudgel_n but_o the_o course_n of_o the_o most_o wise_a most_o politic_a and_o best_a ground_a estate_n have_v ever_o be_v to_o make_v a_o assuredness_n of_o friendship_n or_o to_o take_v away_o all_o power_n of_o enmity_n yet_o here_o must_v i_o distingiush_v between_o discontent_n and_o despair_n for_o it_o suffice_v to_o waken_v the_o discontent_a but_o there_o be_v no_o way_n but_o to_o kill_v desperate_n which_o in_o such_o a_o number_n as_o they_o be_v be_v as_o hard_a and_o difficult_a as_o impious_a and_o ungodly_a and_o therefore_o though_o they_o must_v be_v discontent_v yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v they_o desperate_a for_o among_o many_o desperate_a man_n it_o be_v like_o some_o one_o will_v bring_v forth_o some_o desperate_a attempt_n therefore_o consider_v that_o the_o urge_n of_o the_o oath_n must_v needs_o in_o some_o degree_n beget_v despair_n since_o therein_o he_o must_v either_o think_v as_o without_o the_o special_a grace_n of_o god_n he_o can_v think_v otherwise_o or_o else_o become_v a_o traitor_n which_o before_o some_o hurt_n do_v seem_v hard_a i_o humble_o submit_v this_o to_o your_o excellent_a consideration_n whether_o with_o as_o much_o sincerity_n of_o your_o majesty_n person_n and_o state_n and_o more_o satisfaction_n for_o they_o it_o be_v not_o better_a to_o leave_v the_o oath_n to_o this_o sense_n that_o whosoever_o will_v not_o bear_v arm_n against_o all_o foreign_a prince_n and_o namely_o the_o pope_n that_o shall_v any_o way_n invade_v your_o majesty_n dominion_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o traitor_n for_o hereof_o this_o commodity_n will_v ensue_v that_o those_o papist_n as_o i_o think_v most_o papist_n will_v that_o shall_v take_v this_o oath_n will_v be_v divide_v from_o the_o great_a mutual_a confidence_n which_o now_o be_v betwixt_o the_o pope_n and_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o affliction_n for_o he_o and_o such_o priest_n as_o will_v refuse_v that_o oath_n than_o no_o tongue_n can_v say_v for_o shame_n that_o they_o suffer_v for_o religion_n if_o they_o do_v suffer_v but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v they_o will_v dissemble_v and_o equivocate_v with_o this_o oath_n and_o that_o the_o oath_n will_v dispense_v with_o they_o in_o that_o case_n even_o so_o may_v they_o with_o the_o present_a oath_n both_o dissemble_v and_o equivocate_v and_o also_o have_v the_o pope_n dispensation_n for_o the_o present_a oath_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o other_o but_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o whosoever_o the_o conscience_n or_o fear_v of_o break_v a_o oath_n do_v bind_v he_o will_v that_o oath_n bind_v and_o that_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o a_o oath_n the_o trouble_n loss_n and_o disgrace_n that_o they_o suffer_v for_o refuse_v the_o same_o do_v sufficient_o testify_v and_o you_o know_v that_o the_o perjury_n of_o either_o oath_n be_v equal_a so_o then_o the_o far_a point_n to_o be_v seek_v for_o their_o contentment_n be_v but_o to_o avoid_v their_o despair_n how_o to_o weaken_v their_o contentment_n be_v the_o next_o consideration_n weaken_v they_o may_v be_v by_o two_o mean_n first_o by_o lessen_v their_o number_n second_o by_o take_v away_o from_o their_o force_n their_o number_n will_v easy_o be_v lessen_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o careful_a and_o diligent_a preacher_n in_o each_o parish_n to_o that_o end_n appoint_v and_o especial_o by_o good_a schoolmaster_n and_o bringer_n up_o of_o their_o youth_n the_o former_a by_o convert_v they_o after_o their_o fall_n and_o the_o latter_a by_o prevent_v they_o from_o fall_v into_o their_o error_n for_o preacher_n because_o their_o own_o grow_v a_o great_a question_n i_o be_o provoke_v to_o lay_v at_o your_o highness_n foot_n my_o opinion_n touch_v the_o preciser_n sort_n first_o protest_v to_o god_n almighty_a and_o your_o sacred_a majesty_n that_o i_o be_o not_o give_v over_o no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o addict_v to_o their_o preciseness_n therefore_o till_o i_o think_v that_o you_o think_v otherwise_o i_o be_o bold_a to_o think_v that_o the_o bishop_n in_o these_o dangerous_a time_n take_v a_o very_a ill_a and_o unadvised_a course_n in_o drive_v they_o from_o their_o cure_n and_o this_o i_o think_v for_o two_o cause_n first_o because_o it_o do_v discredit_v the_o reputation_n and_o estimation_n of_o your_o power_n when_o the_o prince_n shall_v perceive_v and_o know_v that_o even_o in_o your_o protestant_a subject_n in_o who_o consist_v all_o your_o force_n strength_n and_o power_n there_o be_v so_o great_a and_o heart_n burn_v a_o division_n and_o how_o much_o reputation_n sway_v in_o these_o and_o all_o other_o worldly_a action_n there_o be_v none_o so_o simple_a as_o to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o the_o papist_n themselves_o though_o there_o be_v most_o manifest_a and_o apparent_a discord_n between_o the_o franciscan_n and_o dominican_n the_o jesuit_n and_o other_o order_n or_o religious_a person_n especial_o the_o benedictim_n yet_o will_v they_o shake_v off_o none_o of_o they_o because_o in_o the_o main_a point_n of_o popery_n they_o all_o agree_v and_o hold_v together_o and_o so_o far_o they_o may_v free_o brag_v and_o vaunt_v of_o their_o unity_n the_o other_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o truth_n in_o their_o opinion_n though_o they_o be_v oversqueamish_a and_o nice_a and_o more_o scrupulous_a than_o they_o need_v yet_o with_o their_o careful_a catechise_n and_o diligent_a preach_v they_o bring_v forth_o that_o fruit_n which_o your_o most_o excellent_a majesty_n be_v to_o desire_v and_o wish_v namely_o the_o lessen_v and_o diminish_v the_o papistical_a number_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o time_n your_o majesty_n have_v especial_a cause_n to_o use_v and_o
