the_o pallatynat_n i_o therefore_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n to_o peruse_v and_o consider_v these_o three_o aphorism_n which_o i_o return_v to_o the_o pope_n in_o answer_n of_o he_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o emperor_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n to_o replace_v the_o count_n pallatyne_n frederick_n and_o his_o heir_n in_o his_o pallatynat_n and_o electorat_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v a_o just_a charitable_a &_o honnorable_a resolution_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o denmark_n as_o alsoe_o of_o the_o elector_n of_o saxony_n and_o brandenbourg_n either_o with_o their_o pen_n or_o sword_n to_o seek_v to_o annihilate_v and_o frustrate_v the_o pope_n his_o confirmation_n of_o the_o pallatynat_n and_o electorat_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n in_o favour_n of_o frederick_n and_o his_o heir_n and_o that_o their_o connivencie_n now_o therein_o towards_o the_o pope_n will_v infallible_o prove_v cruelty_n to_o themselves_o and_o their_o own_o heir_n for_o ever_o hereafter_o 3._o that_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n and_o consistory_n of_o rome_n be_v revokable_a as_o have_v no_o affinity_n and_o resemblance_n with_o those_o of_o the_o mead_n &_o persian_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o college_n of_o cardynall_n can_v when_o they_o please_v revoke_v their_o confirmation_n of_o the_o pallatynat_n and_o electorat_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n and_o restore_v it_o to_o the_o true_a owner_n thereof_o frederick_n count_n pallatyne_n and_o his_o heir_n without_o any_o new_a or_o far_a prejudice_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o catholic_a church_n sith_o if_o it_o be_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o their_o own_o end_n or_o the_o propagation_n of_o their_o romish_a religion_n as_o it_o be_v for_o our_o protestant_n not_o only_o every_o age_n but_o almost_o every_o pope_n reign_n abound_v with_o presydent_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o those_o be_v infinitlie_o blind_a who_o see_v not_o and_o extreme_o partial_a ignorant_a or_o malicious_a who_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v and_o because_o in_o my_o shallow_a concceipt_n and_o capacity_n it_o be_v pity_n that_o these_o three_o aphorism_n of_o the_o pope_n shall_v return_v without_o interest_n i_o therefore_o adjoyne_v and_o send_v his_o holliness_n these_o other_o three_o to_o my_o three_o form_n which_o in_o all_o humility_n and_o duty_n i_o likewise_o prostrate_a to_o your_o majesty_n perusal_n &_o consideration_n 1._o that_o the_o prince_n elector_n of_o germany_n may_v make_v a_o emperor_n but_o that_o the_o pope_n can_v make_v a_o elector_n nor_o consequent_o unmake_v one_o be_v make_v because_o it_o meerlie_o and_o proper_o belong_v to_o a_o civil_a power_n

pallatyne_n your_o son_n in_o law_n to_o the_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n do_v both_o subvert_a the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o empire_n and_o alsoe_o oppose_v and_o assault_v the_o prerogative_n and_o safety_n of_o germany_n and_o of_o all_o other_o king_n prince_n and_o free_a estate_n of_o christendom_n 3._o that_o the_o connivencie_n of_o the_o emperor_n and_o prince_n elector_n in_o tollerate_v the_o pope_n say_a transaction_n and_o donation_n of_o the_o pallatynat_n as_o aforesaid_a open_v a_o door_n to_o the_o unjust_a intrusion_n of_o rome_n over_o the_o liberty_n souveraigntie_n and_o indepencie_n of_o germany_n which_o henceforth_o will_v never_o be_v in_o the_o power_n either_o of_o the_o emperor_n or_o of_o the_o prince_n elector_n again_o to_o make_v fast_o and_o shut_v if_o now_o they_o do_v not_o have_v thus_o give_v six_o aphorism_n to_o the_o pope_n for_o his_o three_o i_o now_o again_o in_o all_o humility_n and_o duty_n embolden_v

of_o spain_n or_o rather_o against_o they_o to_o your_o majesty_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n thereby_o to_o unmask_v their_o ambition_n and_o usurpation_n in_o the_o unjust_a detention_n of_o the_o pallatynat_n from_o the_o illustrious_a prince_n your_o son_n in_o law_n 1._o that_o the_o emperor_n invade_v the_o pallatynat_n by_o the_o counsel_n and_o instigation_n and_o conquer_a it_o by_o the_o arm_n and_o treasure_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o without_o it_o he_o can_v never_o have_v conquer_a it_o and_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o notorious_a to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o as_o the_o emperor_n can_v subsist_v without_o the_o assistance_n of_o spain_n that_o therefore_o in_o his_o detain_v of_o the_o pallatynat_n that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v more_o your_o son_n in_o

soon_o extinguish_v 2._o that_o those_o who_o know_v the_o court_n of_o rome_n do_v apparent_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o without_o the_o close_o intercede_v and_o secret_a solicitation_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n ambassador_n and_o minister_n to_o that_o effect_n in_o that_o court_n that_o neither_o the_o emperor_n nor_o pope_n have_v dare_v either_o to_o have_v take_v the_o pallatynat_n and_o electorat_n from_o the_o count_n pallatyne_n your_o son_n in_o law_n to_o who_o by_o all_o the_o law_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o appertain_v nor_o to_o have_v give_v they_o to_o the_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n who_o have_v no_o other_o right_a nor_o claim_v thereto_o but_o only_o that_o which_o his_o excessive_a ambition_n and_o insatiable_a desire_n of_o usurpation_n

electorat_n to_o the_o count_n pallatyne_n your_o son_n in_o law_n and_o therefore_o that_o if_o they_o restore_v it_o not_o that_o then_o your_o majesty_n may_v justly_o and_o true_o conclude_v it_o lie_v not_o in_o his_o will_n 4._o that_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o the_o prince_n pallatyne_n your_o son_n in_o law_n to_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o pallatynat_n and_o electorat_n by_o the_o help_n of_o your_o majesty_n sword_n as_o impossible_a for_o the_o emperor_n and_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n to_o keep_v it_o without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n 5._o that_o as_o long_o

as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o their_o law_n in_o the_o detention_n thereof_o be_v whole_o and_o sole_o derive_v from_o the_o will_n and_o resolution_n of_o spain_n which_o be_v their_o
