a_o discourse_n upon_o a_o question_n of_o the_o estate_n of_o this_o time_n faithful_o translate_v out_o of_o french_a by_o e._n a._n london_n print_v by_o john_n wolf_n and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v at_o his_o shop_n over_o against_o the_o great_a south_n door_n of_o paul_n 1591._o a_o question_n of_o this_o time_n why_o do_v not_o the_o king_n become_v a_o catholic_a if_o he_o will_v become_v a_o catholic_a his_o realm_n will_v soon_o be_v at_o peace_n all_o his_o subject_n will_v obey_v he_o and_o without_o any_o difficulty_n acknowledge_v he_o this_o be_v the_o daily_a speech_n of_o diverse_a but_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o of_o person_n as_o far_o different_a in_o humour_n as_o they_o differ_v in_o intent_n when_o the_o leaguer_n begin_v to_o doubt_v of_o the_o good_a success_n of_o their_o affair_n to_o mistrust_v their_o own_o force_n and_o to_o imagine_v that_o in_o the_o and_o the_o king_n may_v become_v master_n they_o give_v out_o that_o it_o be_v requisite_a he_o shall_v become_v a_o catholic_a allege_v that_o afterward_o on_o such_o assurance_n as_o they_o may_v gather_v that_o he_o mean_v good_a earnest_n they_o will_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v their_o king_n suppose_v that_o if_o they_o must_v needs_o grow_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o of_o necessity_n they_o must_v obey_v he_o they_o will_v at_o the_o least_o persuade_v and_o make_v the_o simple_a people_n who_o they_o have_v abuse_v to_o believe_v that_o their_o first_o stir_v up_o of_o these_o commotion_n and_o trouble_n of_o war_n tend_v only_o to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o cathol_n apostol_n romish_a religion_n and_o the_o king_n conversion_n but_o these_o speech_n will_v much_o better_o have_v beséeme_v the_o mouth_n of_o other_o catholic_n that_o do_v continue_v in_o their_o duty_n than_o they_o for_o they_o be_v for_o to_o remember_v that_o the_o late_a decease_a king_n be_v as_o great_a a_o catholic_a as_o any_o of_o his_o predecessor_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o he_o who_o the_o leaguer_n do_v first_o set_v upon_o against_o he_o direct_v they_o their_o first_o exclamation_n injury_n and_o reproach_n in_o his_o life_n time_n begin_v they_o their_o conspiracy_n rebellion_n and_o disobedience_n against_o his_o person_n and_o estate_n do_v they_o so_o far_o attempt_v as_o with_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o most_o apparent_a professor_n of_o romish_a religion_n among_o they_o to_o deliberate_v consult_v of_o and_o conclude_v his_o death_n who_o final_o most_o barbarous_o and_o horrible_o they_o strike_v and_o slay_v through_o a_o

he_o a_o relapse_n advow_v that_o albeit_o he_o will_v return_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n yet_o he_o be_v no_o long_o receivable_a to_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o so_o consequent_o his_o subject_n be_v dispense_v with_o for_o acknowledge_v he_o or_o yield_v he_o any_o obedience_n yea_o this_o they_o cause_v to_o be_v preach_v abroad_o by_o the_o hire_a tongue_n of_o their_o preacher_n many_o other_o such_o speech_n and_o writing_n of_o the_o same_o author_n can_v i_o here_o allege_v to_o reproove_v and_o convince_v they_o of_o contradiction_n and_o

with_o this_o little_a which_o in_o respect_n of_o they_o i_o have_v but_o touch_v by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o answer_v and_o satisfy_v other_o that_o do_v use_v the_o same_o speech_n albeit_o with_o other_o affection_n and_o meaning_n than_o they_o among_o sundry_a that_o give_v themselves_o out_o to_o be_v the_o king_n servant_n we_o daily_o hear_v no_o other_o speech_n but_o these_o will_v to_o god_n the_o king_n will_v become_v a_o catholic_a that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v so_o much_o content_v to_o the_o catholic_n as_o to_o go_v to_o mass_n so_o shall_v the_o leaguer_n no_o long_o have_v any_o cloak_n for_o their_o rebellion_n the_o town_n that_o they_o hold_v shall_v yield_v he_o obedience_n and_o to_o be_v brief_a we_o shall_v obtain_v peace_n that_o be_v so_o

content_a to_o take_v they_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o best_a and_o to_o believe_v that_o sincere_o you_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o if_o the_o king_n will_v speedy_o without_o tarry_v until_o a_o council_n have_v determine_v the_o controversy_n that_o at_o this_o day_n reign_v throughout_o christendom_n about_o the_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n concern_v the_o cath._n apost_n and_o romish_a religion_n yield_v himself_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o catholic_a religion_n his_o realm_n will_v inmediat_o grow_v to_o peace_n and_o all_o faction_n and_o partiality_n amongst_o we_o cease_v i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o that_o be_v the_o only_o let_v and_o in_o so_o holy_a a_o desire_n will_v i_o never_o give_v place_n to_o any_o beside_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o the_o king_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o learn_v that_o he_o will_v easy_o be_v content_a to_o be_v instruct_v and_o bring_v to_o the_o cath._n apost_n romish_a religion_n in_o case_n any_o man_n can_v show_v and_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v in_o any_o error_n yet_o may_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o this_o remedy_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o cure_v our_o disease_n do_v you_o believe_v that_o the_o leaguer_n do_v in_o heart_n desire_n that_o the_o king_n will_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o cath._n apost_n romish_a religion_n if_o you_o do_v so_o think_v you_o be_v deceive_v they_o see_v i_o to_o desire_v it_o but_o they_o will_v be_v very_o sorry_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o yea_o albeit_o the_o king_n have_v do_v it_o yet_o will_v they_o yield_v he_o no_o more_o obedience_n than_o they_o now_o do_v but_o rather_o they_o will_v use_v his_o return_n to_o the_o cath._n church_n as_o a_o mean_a to_o sever_v the_o german_n swisser_n and_o other_o protestant_n nation_n from_o the_o king_n friendship_n and_o so_o bring_v he_o to_o loose_v all_o credit_n and_o reputation_n both_o within_o and_o without_o the_o realm_n a_o matter_n which_o great_a prince_n do_v continue_v according_a as_o they_o be_v think_v of_o and_o be_v in_o effect_n constant_a courageous_a and_o steadfast_a in_o their_o good_a purpose_n mark_v therefore_o this_o one_o only_a matter_n among_o many_o other_o of_o like_a policy_n which_o now_o i_o think_v meet_a to_o show_v you_o for_o so_o may_v you_o discover_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o their_o speech_n the_o chief_a of_o the_o league_n and_o among_o other_o the_o d._n of_o lorraine_n perceive_v one_o of_o the_o king_n chief_a humane_a force_n to_o consist_v in_o the_o succour_n that_o he_o expect_v from_o the_o german_n fear_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o the_o descent_n of_o a_o army_n of_o that_o nation_n have_v by_o their_o agent_n and_o factor_n give_v to_o understand_v to_o the_o princess_n elector_n and_o other_o lord_n and_o potentate_n of_o germany_n that_o the_o king_n be_v become_v or_o at_o the_o least_o have_v swear_v and_o promise_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o french_a nobility_n that_o he_o will_v become_v a_o catholic_a that_o already_o both_o about_o his_o person_n and_o in_o his_o principal_a and_o most_o important_a affair_n within_o the_o realm_n and_o without_o he_o use_v almost_o none_o but_o catholic_n which_o to_o be_v so_o say_v they_o mark_v what_o they_o be_v who_o he_o have_v

which_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o those_o that_o listen_v more_o deep_o to_o penetrate_v thereinto_o i_o will_v proceed_v to_o entreat_v of_o the_o profit_n and_o commodity_n that_o may_v redound_v to_o all_o christendom_n so_o long_o as_o the_o king_n stand_v fast_o in_o the_o declaration_n which_o he_o have_v publish_v both_o before_o and_o since_o his_o come_n to_o the_o crown_n for_o matter_n of_o conscience_n and_o religion_n wherein_o he_o always_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o determination_n of_o a_o general_a or_o national_a council_n the_o king_n be_v not_o alone_o in_o this_o realm_n of_o his_o religion_n there_o be_v but_o over_o many_o instruct_v therein_o that_o do_v profess_v the_o same_o neither_o in_o this_o realm_n alone_o be_v there_o many_o

what_o way_n therefore_o do_v you_o think_v to_o be_v best_a to_o reclaim_v all_o these_o nation_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o cath_z apost_n romish_a church_n whether_o war_n or_o a_o free_a general_a council_n inquisition_n fire_n gibbet_n murder_n war_n battle_n siege_n of_o town_n league_n conventicle_n slaughter_n assault_n poison_n in_o brief_a all_o other_o mean_n and_o subtlety_n in_o the_o world_n that_o these_o 30._o year_n can_v be_v practise_v to_o the_o great_a desolation_n and_o detriment_n of_o all_o christendom_n but_o especial_o of_o this_o realm_n have_v as_o yet_o
