king_n temporal_a power_n with_o some_o mild_a interpretation_n or_o alteration_n may_v be_v tolerate_v for_o his_o majesty_n security_n three_o that_o the_o communion_n may_v be_v administer_v

about_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o august_n or_o the_o begin_n of_o september_n 1636._o during_o the_o residence_n of_o signior_n con_n and_o though_o our_o venetian_a help_v we_o not_o herein_o yet_o this_o be_v know_v sufficient_o and_o can_v be_v aver_v otherwise_o nevertheless_o we_o may_v probable_o conjecture_v that_o what_o do_v concern_v the_o king_n herein_o shall_v have_v be_v real_o

discretion_n the_o condition_n be_v only_o of_o temporal_a advantage_n rather_o fit_a to_o induce_v than_o to_o confirm_v popery_n this_o seem_v the_o more_o likely_a to_o be_v true_a because_o of_o the_o great_a facility_n which_o be_v in_o our_o divine_n to_o comply_v with_o the_o papist_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n without_o any_o allurement_n or_o follicitation_n at_o all_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o so_o backward_o in_o walk_v towards_o calvin_n as_o the_o protestant_n be_v hasty_a in_o run_v towards_o the_o pope_n for_o even_o before_o any_o treaty_n at_o all_o or_o before_o any_o

to_o recite_v how_o far_o the_o sanctity_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v deprave_v and_o all_o strictness_n of_o life_n under_o the_o scandal_n of_o puritanisme_n disparage_v or_o how_o far_o

divine_n of_o this_o realm_n do_v daily_o embrace_v catholic_a opinion_n though_o they_o profess_v it_o not_o with_o open_a mouth_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o puritan_n for_o example_n they_o hold_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o true_a church_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v superior_a to_o all_o bishop_n that_o to_o he_o it_o appertain_v to_o call_v general_a counsel_n that_o it_o be_v

of_o rome_n in_o another_o place_n he_o report_v the_o king_n to_o be_v much_o a_o favourer_n of_o confession_n and_o say_v that_o by_o his_o countenance_n catholic_n do_v increase_v daily_o at_o

the_o court_n of_o england_n have_v contrary_a interest_n in_o this_o respect_n be_v not_o so_o far_o popish_a and_o therefore_o canterbury_n himself_o will_v ever_o profess_v against_o these_o tridentine_a papist_n who_o only_o he_o hate_v as_o papist_n properly_z so_o call_v nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o conceive_v that_o the_o english_a laiety_n have_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n any_o

to_o the_o pope_n it_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v reserve_v in_o the_o same_o rigour_n to_o themselves_o the_o papist_n proper_o so_o call_v in_o canterbury_n sense_n so_o much_o to_o be_v abominate_v be_v he_o which_o maintain_v a_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n here_o in_o england_n altogether_o incompatible_a with_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o not_o agree_v with_o the_o archbishop_n metropolitical_a power_n without_o any_o treaty_n without_o any_o difficulty_n at_o all_o all_o popery_n which_o be_v not_o popery_n proper_o so_o call_v that_o be_v all_o popety_n so_o far_o as_o the_o people_n and_o inferior_a clergy_n be_v interest_v in_o it_o so_o it_o do_v not_o savour_n of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n nay_o let_v it_o savour_v of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n so_o it_o do_v

party_n which_o be_v to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o they_o be_v the_o protestant_n and_o papist_n divide_v hitherto_o by_o the_o puritan_n our_o venetian_a resolve_n not_o only_o who_o be_v but_o also_o what_o be_v protestant_n and_o puritan_n both_o and_o as_o for_o the_o papist_n the_o three_o great_a faction_n they_o need_v no_o description_n at_o all_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v who_o be_v

as_o be_v ennoble_v and_o raise_v to_o more_o than_o ordinary_a favour_n and_o honour_n beside_o almost_o all_o the_o prelate_n and_o both_o the_o university_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o denominate_v they_o protestant_n it_o be_v intimate_v in_o this_o that_o they_o hate_v puritan_n more_o than_o they_o hate_v papist_n that_o they_o easy_o combine_v with_o papist_n to_o extirpate_v puritan_n that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v not_o so_o engage_v themselves_o to_o the_o reform_a religion_n but_o that_o they_o have_v since_o set_v themselves_o to_o reduce_v themselves_o again_o to_o the_o old_a practice_n of_o their_o forefather_n that_o they_o be_v only_o very_o opinative_a in_o exclude_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n have_v occasion_v the_o catholic_n which_o frequent_v protestant_n church_n for_o 12_o year_n after_o the_o reformation_n to_o sequester_v themselves_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v who_o be_v puritan_n he_o tell_v we_o they_o consist_v of_o some_o bishop_n all_o the_o gentry_n and_o communality_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o most_o potent_a of_o all_o the_o three_o party_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o puritan_n be_v and_o what_o be_v intend_v in_o that_o denomination_n he_o tell_v we_o they_o be_v such_o as_o receive_v the_o discipline_n of_o the_o french_a and_o netherlander_n &_o hold_v not_o the_o english_a reformation_n to_o be_v so_o perfect_a as_o that_o which_o calvin_n institute_v at_o geneva_n that_o they_o hate_v catholic_n more_o than_o they_o hate_v protestant_n that_o they_o will_v be_v easy_o quit_v be_v it_o not_o for_o some_o great_a patron_n of_o they_o at_o court_n who_o for_o private_a end_n take_v they_o into_o protection_n if_o this_o be_v a_o true_a
