and_o for_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n the_o matter_n be_v so_o notorious_a as_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o enlarge_v myself_o upon_o this_o subject_n and_o beside_o it_o have_v be_v

more_o those_o that_o be_v christian_n although_o not_o obedient_a to_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n and_o when_o they_o do_v real_o aid_v they_o with_o money_n man_n and_o munition_n yet_o do_v not_o this_o derogate_v a_o jot_n from_o their_o devotion_n or_o profession_n of_o the_o catholic_a roman_a religion_n why_o may_v it_o not_o likewise_o be_v lawful_a for_o private_a man_n to_o defend_v

case_n do_v the_o prince_n himself_o and_o he_o well_o deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v because_o indirect_o it_o must_v tend_v to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o league_n already_o make_v and_o of_o the_o

which_o be_v none_o become_v yet_o the_o worse_a because_o it_o be_v deduce_v and_o wrought_v into_o confession_n and_o sure_o the_o rule_n of_o good_a policy_n require_v that_o a_o temeritie_n and_o

but_o if_o absolution_n can_v not_o be_v deny_v by_o reason_n of_o habitation_n or_o because_o they_o serve_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o hollander_n it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v deny_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o injustice_n of_o that_o war_n especial_o see_v these_o gentleman_n be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o prince_n that_o make_v the_o war_n and_o so_o be_v no_o way_n hereunto_o command_v but_o

agree_v that_o the_o war_n whereby_o the_o state_n that_o be_v possess_v be_v preserve_v and_o therefore_o a_o war_n defensive_a can_v hardly_o entertain_v a_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v not_o just_a and_o among_o the_o cause_n which_o the_o skilful_a in_o both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o summist_n also_o allege_v to_o make_v the_o war_n just_a the_o necessity_n of_o defence_n do_v ever_o rank_n

reason_n which_o be_v hold_v most_o just_a whereupon_o to_o ground_v a_o war_n that_o be_v above_o they_o all_o the_o best_a approve_a and_o unto_o which_o all_o cause_n else_o which_o be_v allege_v may_v be_v refer_v or_o reduce_v which_o be_v undertake_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n and_o defence_n of_o one_o own_o dominion_n or_o country_n thereunto_o appertain_v for_o so_o it_o tend_v likewise_o to_o the_o defence_n of_o a_o man_n own_o life_n and_o good_n this_o cause_n then_o of_o defence_n do_v exceed_o justify_v the_o war_n because_o it_o be_v favour_v and_o authorise_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o a_o private_a man_n may_v assist_v in_o a_o defensive_a war_n and_o that_o the_o war_n which_o the_o hollander_n make_v be_v of_o this_o nature_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o defensive_a it_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o fact_n because_o they_o be_v those_o that_o be_v invade_v by_o the_o army_n of_o the_o king_n of_o

such_o circumstance_n to_o render_v it_o unjust_a as_o can_v hardly_o sink_v into_o a_o man_n imagination_n that_o it_o be_v a_o undeniable_a doctrine_n among_o the_o lawyer_n that_o although_o the_o

and_o if_o in_o his_o own_o defence_n he_o must_v take_v arm_n and_o fall_v to_o blow_n yet_o shall_v it_o be_v just_a in_o he_o so_o to_o do_v not_o only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o

to_o the_o discretion_n of_o other_o and_o many_o time_n of_o soldier_n of_o who_o excess_n and_o usual_a deportment_n against_o man_n life_n honour_n and_o good_n be_v no_o less_o licentious_a in_o

they_o can_v not_o live_v in_o the_o low_a country_n without_o sin_n as_o be_v to_o converse_v with_o those_o who_o acknowledge_v not_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n for_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o

that_o ever_o make_v any_o step_n and_o pretention_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o in_o the_o year_n 1595_o he_o publish_v a_o constitution_n that_o no_o italian_a shall_v or_o ought_v to_o go_v for_o
