of_o their_o tooth_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o prudence_n among_o they_o that_o weak_a and_o irresolute_a state_n do_v seldom_o take_v good_a counsel_n unless_o they_o be_v force_v for_o their_o weakness_n suffer_v they_o not_o to_o deliberate_v where_o any_o thing_n be_v doubtful_a and_o if_o that_o doubt_n be_v not_o remove_v by_o a_o violent_a necessity_n they_o never_o come_v to_o a_o resolution_n but_o be_v always_o in_o suspense_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n peculiar_a to_o all_o weak_a and_o improvident_a prince_n and_o government_n to_o be_v slow_a and_o tedious_a as_o well_o as_o uncertain_a in_o their_o counsel_n which_o be_v as_o dangerous_a as_o the_o other_o with_o divers_a more_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n wherefore_o thete_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n that_o may_v perplex_v we_o and_o that_o be_v whether_o this_o course_n may_v sort_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o time_n and_o our_o circumstance_n touch_v this_o point_n the_o same_o author_n give_v this_o rule_n that_o the_o occasion_n of_o every_o man_n good_a or_o bad_a fortune_n consist_v in_o his_o correspondence_n &_o accommodation_n with_o the_o time_n the_o wary_a course_n that_o fabius_n take_v against_o hannibal_n be_v good_a because_o the_o time_n and_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o roman_n suit_v to_o it_o but_o have_v the_o same_o course_n be_v hold_v on_o when_o scipio_n undertake_v the_o war_n hannibal_n may_v have_v stay_v in_o italy_n but_o the_o time_n be_v change_v they_o also_o alter_v the_o method_n of_o the_o war._n and_o it_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o to_o every_o purpose_n there_o be_v a_o time_n and_o a_o judgement_n therefore_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n be_v great_a upon_o he_o because_o the_o time_n be_v hard_o to_o be_v discern_v for_o if_o the_o time_n be_v miss_v thing_n can_v succeed_v for_o man_n know_v not_o his_o time_n if_o a_o man_n choose_v a_o wrong_a time_n he_o may_v labour_v and_o travel_n not_o only_o in_o vain_a as_o to_o the_o issue_v design_v but_o may_v bring_v forth_o his_o own_o destruction_n for_o the_o universal_a influence_n and_o concourse_n of_o the_o first_o providence_n be_v want_v but_o when_o we_o shall_v serious_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n leave_v that_o the_o french_a king_n will_v neither_o be_v quiet_a himself_o nor_o let_v any_o body_n else_o alone_o and_o that_o we_o must_v either_o throw_v up_o the_o cudgel_n and_o let_v he_o domineer_v as_o he_o please_v or_o do_v something_o that_o may_v either_o deter_v he_o from_o attempt_v further_o or_o if_o he_o do_v may_v show_v he_o there_o be_v as_o good_a iron_n in_o the_o world_n as_o any_o he_o have_v in_o france_n i_o say_v thing_n be_v thus_o i_o can_v foresee_v no_o objection_n of_o weight_n against_o the_o proposition_n that_o state_n that_o will_v defend_v itself_o must_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o offend_v its_o enemy_n and_o so_o long_o as_o this_o state_n shall_v give_v occasion_n to_o france_n to_o apprehend_v that_o they_o be_v afraid_a of_o he_o he_o will_v use_v they_o as_o dog_n therefore_o since_o this_o be_v like_a to_o be_v a_o league_n of_o as_o great_a importance_n as_o have_v be_v make_v in_o the_o world_n a_o good_a while_n to_o render_v the_o same_o secure_a to_o the_o party_n to_o add_v majesty_n and_o grandeur_n to_o it_o to_o render_v it_o more_o sacred_a and_o to_o give_v it_o weight_n and_o reputation_n in_o the_o world_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o the_o same_o be_v approve_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v both_o by_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n and_o the_o general_a estate_n of_o the_o seven_o province_n in_o a_o extraordinary_a assembly_n i_o confess_v the_o thing_n be_v both_o very_a extraordinary_a and_o magnificent_a and_o will_v make_v the_o time_n famous_a but_o the_o argument_n that_o enforce_v the_o necessity_n thereof_o be_v irrefragible_a the_o demonstration_n whereof_o i_o shall_v leave_v this_o whole_a discourse_n and_o the_o dignity_n and_o weight_n of_o the_o matter_n themselves_o to_o give_v evidence_n unto_o and_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o in_o this_o place_n than_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o prince_n and_o state_n may_v more_o just_o value_v themselves_o upon_o than_o faith_n and_o sincerity_n in_o their_o league_n and_o treaty_n and_o negotiation_n with_o other_o prince_n and_o state_n and_o insincerity_n or_o stare-hypocrisie_n less_o become_v the_o majesty_n of_o state_n than_o it_o do_v private_a person_n in_o moral_a and_o civil_a action_n but_o before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a it_o will_v be_v but_o necessary_a to_o answer_v a_o objection_n that_o may_v be_v make_v on_o the_o part_n of_o england_n and_o that_o be_v that_o to_o confirm_v a_o league_n by_o the_o parliament_n will_v weaken_v the_o king_n prerogative_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la that_o which_o have_v be_v do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o former_a king_n and_o those_o the_o great_a and_o wise_a of_o our_o prince_n and_o do_v not_o lessen_v their_o prerogative_n may_v be_v do_v again_o without_o weaken_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o present_a king_n but_o this_o thing_n have_v be_v often_o do_v in_o former_a parliament_n as_o our_o roll_n of_o parliament_n record_n law_n book_n and_o history_n show_v but_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o name_v two_o or_o three_o of_o the_o most_o principal_a as_o sufficient_a a_o league_n and_o alliance_n be_v make_v between_o king_n henry_n 5._o his_o heir_n and_o successor_n and_o sigismond_n king_n of_o the_o roman_n his_o heir_n and_o successor_n king_n of_o the_o roman_n and_o be_v confirm_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n coke_n inst_z pars_fw-la 4.156_o rot._n parl._n 4._o h._n 5._o n_o o._o 14._o that_o illustrious_a peace_n 9_o h._n 5._o make_v between_o charles_n the_o 6._o of_o france_n and_o the_o say_v henry_n 5._o of_o england_n who_o be_v the_o very_a alexander_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n for_o magnificence_n by_o which_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v confirm_v to_o he_o the_o regency_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n during_o the_o life_n of_o charles_n and_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n after_o his_o death_n be_v ratify_v by_o the_o three_o estate_n of_o france_n and_o swear_v to_o by_o the_o king_n of_o england_n in_o parliament_n and_o by_o the_o same_o parliament_n ratify_v and_o 11._o henry_n 7._o the_o same_o case_n happen_v again_o the_o three_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n join_v with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o ratification_n of_o a_o peace_n with_o france_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n this_o king_n be_v a_o prince_n of_o great_a wisdom_n and_o sufficiency_n as_o i_o say_v before_o he_o invade_v france_n with_o a_o royal_a army_n make_v they_o buy_v a_o peace_n of_o he_o and_o pay_v he_o tribute_n which_o continue_v yet_o in_o the_o time_n of_o henry_n 8._o his_o son_n nevertheless_o he_o ratify_v a_o peace_n by_o the_o parliament_n so_o you_o see_v two_o king_n one_o the_o great_a conqueror_n as_o the_o other_o be_v the_o great_a politician_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n ratify_v their_o league_n which_o nevertheless_o they_o purchase_v with_o their_o own_o sword_n by_o parliament_n and_o so_o sacred_a be_v our_o league_n and_o truce_n hold_v to_o be_v in_o those_o time_n that_o 2._o h._n 5._o c._n 6._o it_o be_v enact_v by_o parliament_n that_o the_o break_n of_o truce_n shall_v be_v high_a treason_n in_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n but_o 2._o i_o answer_v ad_fw-la rem_fw-la it_o be_v say_v the_o king_n prerogative_n be_v to_o make_v war_n and_o peace_n if_o the_o king_n then_o make_v a_o league_n and_o the_o parliament_n confirm_v that_o league_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o lessen_v that_o it_o confirm_v that_o authority_n that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o new_a league_n and_o that_o it_o must_v have_v not_o only_o more_o but_o large_a dimension_n than_o the_o present_a league_n in_o be_v be_v evident_a because_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o the_o late_a long_a parliament_n vote_v that_o the_o league_n offensive_a and_o defensive_a between_o his_o majesty_n and_o this_o state_n be_v not_o according_a to_o their_o advice_n give_v to_o his_o majesty_n nor_o pursuant_n to_o the_o end_n by_o they_o propose_v which_o vote_n have_v blast_v the_o present_a league_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v call_v twenty_o parliament_n they_o will_v all_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o because_o all_o humane_a providence_n be_v shortsighted_a there_o may_v be_v a_o provisional_a clause_n add_v that_o where_o the_o ordinary_a provision_n and_o remedy_n of_o this_o league_n shall_v fall_v short_a or_o disproportionate_a the_o parliament_n shall_v be_v call_v to_o
