without_o which_o it_o have_v be_v hard_a to_o persuade_v the_o common_a people_n namely_o that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o land_n shall_v have_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o money_n in_o their_o

which_o shall_v have_v the_o muster_n of_o the_o soldier_n this_o devise_n do_v please_v his_o majesty_n marvellous_a well_o and_o he_o hearty_o thank_v they_o for_o the_o good_a assistance_n and_o

for_o thereby_o his_o majesty_n in_o the_o extremity_n of_o his_o necessity_n be_v so_o help_v that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v great_o amaze_v at_o it_o this_o be_v the_o only_a occasion_n whereby_o not_o only_o goodly_a victory_n against_o the_o enemy_n be_v obtain_v but_o likewise_o that_o in_o the_o end_n a_o peace_n be_v conclude_v to_o the_o great_a advantage_n and_o honour_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o country_n all_o this_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v not_o a_o few_o amongst_o the_o spaniard_n who_o example_n some_o of_o other_o country_n follow_v who_o seek_v by_o all_o

tend_v to_o a_o open_a rebellion_n with_o many_o other_o like_o persuasion_n which_o they_o by_o night_n and_o day_n propound_v to_o the_o king_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o incense_v he_o against_o the_o low_a country_n whereas_o their_o pretence_n be_v none_o other_o than_o to_o satisfy_v their_o unsatiable_a avarice_n &_o gréeve_v they_o that_o they_o be_v bar_v from_o the_o handle_n of_o

debate_n and_o strife_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o faithful_a subject_n which_o also_o do_v long_o before_o sufficient_o appear_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o most_o noble_a emperor_n

whereof_o so_o much_o innocent_a blood_n have_v be_v shed_v in_o these_o low_a country_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v verify_v that_o since_o that_o time_n to_o this_o day_n there_o have_v be_v execute_v for_o their_o conscience_n sake_n some_o with_o the_o sword_n gallows_n fire_n and_o water_n above_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o person_n all_o under_o pretence_n that_o they_o be_v follower_n of_o such_o perverse_a doctrine_n as_o in_o the_o say_a placard_n be_v invent_v who_o see_v not_o than_o open_o that_o they_o with_o manifest_a lie_n and_o open_a untruth_n do_v seek_v to_o destroy_v and_o bring_v allthing_n under_o their_o subjection_n have_v we_o not_o also_o see_v of_o late_a in_o the_o propon_n of_o the_o ten_o penny_n how_o they_o have_v help_v themselves_o with_o false_a practice_n for_o when_o they_o perceive_v that_o they_o can_v not_o persuade_v the_o state_n and_o the_o deputy_n of_o the_o town_n to_o condescend_v they_o declare_v they_o see_v evident_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o be_v it_o not_o their_o intent_n effectual_o to_o levy_v the_o ten_o penny_n as_o they_o have_v propon_v but_o yet_o to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v show_v their_o dutiful_a affection_n and_o inclination_n towards_o his_o majesty_n they_o request_v that_o it_o may_v be_v grant_v upon_o condition_n notwithstanding_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v levy_v nor_o put_v in_o execution_n and_o hereof_o have_v they_o give_v to_o the_o state_n of_o henaulde_n and_o some_o other_o further_a act_n and_o letter_n this_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v since_o by_o a_o mere_a force_n urge_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o ten_o penny_n because_o they_o have_v write_v to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n as_o they_o say_v that_o the_o same_o be_v grant_v these_o be_v the_o false_a &_o double_a prank_n which_o they_o use_v and_o seek_v thereby_o to_o bring_v this_o country_n into_o the_o king_n displeasure_n and_o so_o final_o to_o utter_v ruin_n yea_o we_o see_v that_o they_o in_o this_o their_o letter_n can_v not_o forget_v their_o wicked_a trick_n and_o false_a lie_n say_v that_o we_o seek_v to_o bring_v the_o town_n from_o the_o true_a obedience_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o to_o allure_v they_o to_o we_o as_o we_o have_v do_v they_o themselves_o do_v certain_o know_v that_o neither_o our_o meaning_n nor_o intent_n be_v such_o nor_o never_o be_v as_o appear_v by_o all_o our_o write_n reason_n protestation_n yea_o by_o all_o our_o act_n work_n and_o proceed_n yea_o so_o far_o it_o be_v from_o we_o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o town_n or_o village_n no_o not_o one_o man_n to_o be_v find_v which_o be_v escape_v from_o these_o strange_a tyrant_n but_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o king_n for_o his_o lord_n and_o will_v be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o in_o all_o respect_n and_o likewise_o will_v spend_v his_o life_n &_o good_n in_o his_o service_n yea_o with_o a_o more_o feruentie_n than_o ever_o before_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o show_v effectual_o so_o soon_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o king_n majesty_n to_o discharge_v they_o of_o this_o insupportable_a yoke_n and_o tyranny_n so_o that_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o we_o have_v not_o divert_v any_o town_n from_o the_o king_n obeisance_n nor_o seek_v to_o do_v but_o to_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v those_o that_o under_o the_o

over_o they_o do_v we_o not_o see_v how_o they_o have_v bring_v a_o great_a part_n of_o sapine_n from_o the_o king_n obedience_n under_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o inquisition_n so_o that_o they_o alone_o do_v rule_n and_o gooverne_v over_o village_n lordship_n town_n and_o country_n without_o acknowledge_v the_o king_n yea_o they_o have_v already_o so_o play_v their_o part_n within_o the_o
