for_o your_o friend_n soave_fw-it i_o be_o afraid_a he_o be_v apt_a to_o make_v the_o worst_a of_o thing_n even_o when_o he_o speak_v truth_n as_o to_o the_o substance_n his_o intimate_a acquaintance_n with_o the_o archbishop_n of_o spalatro_n &_o his_o correspondency_n with_o the_o french_a huguenot_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v i_o suspicious_a of_o he_o if_o you_o tell_v i_o he_o be_v a_o popish_a friar_n i_o must_v mind_v you_o that_o he_o be_v a_o venetian_n papist_n that_o he_o live_v in_o a_o time_n of_o great_a dissension_n betwixt_o the_o state_n of_o venice_n and_o the_o pope_n &_o that_o he_o be_v even_o then_o engage_v in_o write_v against_o the_o pope_n proceed_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o say_v how_o much_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n to_o the_o church_n but_o any_o

together_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v i_o suspect_v he_o pallavicini_n you_o will_v say_v be_v of_o the_o court-party_n deserve_v to_o be_v suspect_v too_o but_o if_o that_o be_v all_o you_o have_v to_o say_v against_o he_o we_o will_v not_o quarrel_v about_o preliminary_n nor_o loose_a time_n in_o dispute_v what_o grain_n of_o allowance_n be_v due_a to_o each_o of_o they_o upon_o condition_n you_o will_v believe_v your_o friend_n soave_fw-it when_o he_o speak_v well_o of_o the_o council_n i_o be_o content_a to_o believe_v pallavicini_n whensoever_o he_o speak_v ill_a of_o it_o you_o remember_v how_o easy_o when_o i_o see_v you_o last_o you_o agree_v with_o i_o that_o if_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n be_v as_o general_n as_o free_a and_o as_o legal_a in_o all_o its_o circumstance_n as_o the_o first_o four_o council_n be_v you_o must_v needs_o own_v yourself_o oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o submit_v to_o it_o &_o to_o leave_v of_o protest_v against_o it_o it_o be_v fair_a &_o reasonable_a &_o what_o i_o may_v expect_v from_o a_o son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o desire_v no_o more_o in_o hand_n but_o be_v willing_a to_o give_v credit_n for_o the_o rest_n i_o may_v have_v tell_v you_o that_o if_o the_o council_n have_v be_v only_o patriarchal_a it_o will_v have_v bind_v the_o english_a reformer_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o
