endure_v roman_a catholic_n among_o they_o moreover_o that_o the_o concession_n grant_v to_o those_o of_o the_o valley_n have_v be_v juridical_o examine_v and_o that_o it_o be_v agree_v that_o the_o

be_v allowable_a to_o fail_v in_o what_o they_o have_v solemn_o promise_v to_o their_o people_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o terminate_v affair_n that_o shall_v arise_v between_o they_o nor_o to_o appease_v these_o trouble_n that_o happen_v in_o their_o state_n and_o that_o two_o party_n shall_v make_v war_n on_o one_o another_o will_v never_o end_v their_o quarrel_n but_o by_o the_o total_a ruin_n of_o one_o of_o they_o they_o add_v to_o this_o that_o sovereign_n have_v reason_n to_o employ_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o unite_v their_o subject_n in_o the_o same_o religion_n but_o that_o to_o compass_v it_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o violate_v treaty_n which_o have_v be_v former_o make_v with_o they_o that_o all_o that_o be_v allow_v they_o in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v to_o

their_o understanding_n and_o to_o move_v they_o to_o embrace_v with_o good_a will_v the_o true_a religion_n but_o that_o which_o deserve_v a_o particular_a consideration_n in_o this_o encounter_n be_v that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o valley_n do_v not_o hold_v by_o the_o concession_n of_o their_o prince_n the_o liberty_n to_o exercise_v in_o public_a their_o religion_n because_o it_o be_v establish_v in_o this_o country_n above_o eight_o age_n ago_o and_o that_o they_o enjoy_v this_o right_n long_a time_n before_o they_o be_v subject_n to_o his_o royal_a highness_n ancestor_n insomuch_o that_o have_v never_o be_v of_o the_o religion_n of_o their_o prince_n it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o they_o have_v abandon_v it_o nor_o oblige_v they_o to_o return_v to_o it_o beside_o that_o his_o royal_a highness_n predecessor_n who_o do_v grant_v leave_n to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o valley_n to_o continue_v the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n be_v very_o sensible_a that_o unity_n of_o religion_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o advantage_n and_o security_n of_o the_o state_n for_o else_o they_o will_v have_v be_v very_o far_o from_o grant_v they_o so_o solemn_a parent_n or_o from_o confirm_v they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o indeed_o they_o have_v so_o much_o the_o less_o to_o fear_v from_o a_o diversity_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v find_v in_o piedmont_n that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o communion_n be_v shut_v up_o in_o a_o little_a corner_n of_o the_o country_n that_o they_o be_v man_n without_o authority_n or_o power_n and_o that_o have_v no_o design_n to_o extend_v their_o doctrine_n to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o his_o country_n that_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n he_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v that_o his_o example_n shall_v be_v follow_v by_o the_o protestant_a prince_n and_o that_o in_o his_o imitation_n they_o do_v not_o use_v their_o catholic_n subject_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o he_o will_v use_v those_o of_o their_o religion_n and_o that_o consequent_o the_o interest_n of_o those_o of_o his_o own_o party_n shall_v hinder_v he_o from_o make_v use_n of_o force_n to_o oblige_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o valley_n to_o renounce_v their_o faith_n that_o though_o it_o seem_v his_o royal_a highness_n will_v not_o force_v they_o to_o embrace_v the_o romish_a religion_n in_o that_o he_o be_v satisfy_v to_o deprive_v they_o of_o the_o public_a exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n leave_v they_o as_o to_o the_o rest_n in_o a_o full_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n yet_o it_o be_v
