both_o in_o norimberg_n spires_n strasbourg_n and_o frankford_n yet_o i_o shall_v here_o add_v that_o this_o dissension_n among_o the_o german_a prince_n be_v in_o one_o respect_n advantageous_a to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o in_o a_o other_o prejudicial_a as_o it_o usual_o prove_v to_o be_v in_o reference_n to_o all_o foreign_a power_n for_o the_o turk_n have_v already_o take_v away_o bosnia_n croatia_n and_o hungary_n from_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o possible_o he_o may_v some_o time_n or_o other_o force_v his_o way_n even_o into_o austria_n itself_o also_o and_o then_o if_o germany_n shall_v find_v itself_o to_o suffer_v thus_o under_o the_o protection_n of_o this_o house_n possible_o they_o may_v reject_v ●t_a and_o elect_v some_o heretic_n to_o be_v their_o emperor_n which_o certain_o will_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o many_o great_a mischief_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n ought_v to_o labour_n as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o bring_v either_o the_o emperor_n himself_o or_o else_o his_o brother_n maximilian_n to_o enter_v into_o a_o league_n with_o the_o duke_n of_o

i_o will_v have_v he_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o war_n to_o confer_v upon_o all_o such_o person_n of_o eminency_n as_o shall_v be_v send_v to_o his_o assistance_n by_o the_o free_a city_n

like_a manner_n as_o caesar_n engage_v his_o army_n even_o against_o rome_n itself_o but_o this_o must_v be_v the_o business_n only_o of_o some_o one_o of_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n that_o shall_v be_v a_o person_n both_o of_o great_a valour_n and_o wisdom_n neither_o can_v any_o mean_a man_n undertake_v it_o and_o then_o have_v conquer_v the_o turk_n he_o must_v next_o march_v with_o his_o
