make_v their_o family_n their_o thought_n be_v far_o from_o enlarge_n a_o dominion_n which_o they_o expect_v to_o leave_v every_o day_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n all_o the_o ready_a money_n which_o else_o they_o may_v lay_v up_o will_v go_v upon_o project_n of_o a_o very_a uncertain_a event_n and_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o julius_n the_o second_o be_v of_o a_o very_a mean_a birth_n shall_v have_v have_v so_o great_a a_o sense_n of_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o the_o church_n as_o to_o forego_v all_o his_o private_a concern_v and_o take_v the_o empty_a praise_n of_o his_o courtier_n in_o payment_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o such_o real_a advantage_n as_o he_o may_v have_v make_v to_o his_o family_n the_o last_o query_n depend_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n upon_o the_o other_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o concert_v the_o union_n of_o the_o pope_n with_o other_o prince_n in_o order_n to_o attack_v the_o republic_n because_o it_o will_v never_o be_v advantageous_a to_o the_o church_n to_o increase_v the_o power_n of_o that_o other_o prince_n neither_o will_v it_o look_v like_o the_o justice_n they_o profess_v to_o take_v to_o themselves_o alone_o the_o spoil_n except_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o country_n on_o which_o they_o have_v a_o pretence_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o those_o noysie_a excommunication_n where_o they_o deprive_v prince_n of_o their_o dominion_n and_o give_v they_o to_o other_o that_o can_v take_v they_o there_o may_v be_v some_o danger_n but_o they_o be_v seldom_o practise_v but_o in_o a_o attempt_n make_v by_o a_o prince_n upon_o the_o church_n which_o be_v never_o to_o be_v fear_v from_o the_o piety_n and_o moderation_n of_o the_o republic_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o church_n will_v enter_v into_o a_o league_n to_o hinder_v any_o progress_n of_o the_o republic_n particular_o against_o any_o dependant_a of_o they_o and_o also_o in_o case_n the_o republic_n attack_v some_o small_a prince_n the_o pope_n to_o affect_v the_o protection_n of_o the_o weak_a will_v declare_v but_o if_o the_o republic_n have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o strong_a prince_n the_o church_n will_v look_v on_o for_o fear_n of_o greatn_v too_o much_o that_o prince_n the_o rather_o because_o the_o republic_n can_v lay_v claim_n to_o none_o of_o those_o old_a ticklish_a title_n which_o some_o other_o prince_n may_v set_v afoot_n against_o the_o church_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o pope_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o emperor_n the_o republic_n must_v never_o forget_v that_o maxim_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o prince_n border_v upon_o the_o empire_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a for_o they_o to_o see_v the_o emperor_n make_v more_o powerful_a lest_o he_o renew_v those_o antiquate_a title_n he_o have_v to_o most_o dominion_n near_o he_o and_o particular_o in_o italy_n the_o power_n of_o the_o roman_a commonwealth_n which_o extend_v almost_o over_o all_o the_o know_a world_n be_v at_o last_o usurp_v by_o julius_n caesar_n and_o from_o he_o derive_v to_o a_o long_a series_n of_o succeed_a emperor_n may_v give_v the_o german_a emperor_n a_o pretext_n to_o reckon_v with_o all_o the_o prince_n of_o europe_n if_o he_o be_v strong_a enough_o and_o perhaps_o many_o who_o wear_v crown_n will_v be_v reduce_v to_o beggary_n therefore_o it_o be_v best_o to_o keep_v he_o in_o his_o cold_a country_n of_o germany_n where_o man_n spirit_n be_v benumb_v and_o less_o undertake_v the_o republic_n have_v reason_n to_o distrust_v he_o upon_o many_o head_n as_o emperor_n he_o have_v pretence_n upon_o the_o duchy_n of_o frioul_n and_o the_o marca_n trevisana_n beside_o the_o city_n of_o trevisa_n padova_n vicenza_n and_o verona_n as_o archduke_n he_o pretend_v to_o istria_n as_o king_n of_o hungary_n to_o zara_n and_o the_o neighbour_a country_n so_o that_o his_o title_n and_o neighbourhood_n be_v considerable_o dangerous_a all_o these_o country_n be_v beside_o of_o great_a antiquity_n than_o the_o city_n of_o venice_n itself_o so_o that_o their_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o metropolis_n of_o a_o young_a stand_n give_v some_o suspicion_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o subjection_n all_o these_o pretence_n be_v renew_v in_o the_o league_n of_o cambray_n therefore_o i_o think_v without_o hesitation_n i_o may_v pronounce_v that_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o republic_n that_o the_o emperor_n shall_v be_v keep_v low_a both_o for_o general_n and_o particular_a reason_n from_o these_o reflection_n we_o may_v also_o conclude_v that_o the_o emperor_n to_o these_o title_n do_v not_o want_v inclination_n to_o acquire_v a_o part_n of_o the_o territory_n of_o the_o republic_n particular_o it_o be_v yet_o a_o complaint_n of_o that_o prince_n of_o the_o little_a respect_n show_v he_o by_o the_o republic_n when_o take_v advantage_n of_o his_o distraction_n they_o erect_v the_o fortress_n of_o palma_n nuova_n just_a under_o his_o nose_n there_o remain_v therefore_o to_o see_v what_o facility_n he_o may_v find_v in_o such_o a_o attempt_n in_o the_o present_a state_n of_o his_o affair_n while_o the_o faction_n of_o the_o protestant_n be_v so_o strong_a in_o germany_n i_o can_v think_v that_o he_o can_v quarrel_v with_o the_o republic_n which_o be_v as_o powerful_a in_o money_n as_o he_o be_v in_o man_n for_o in_o length_n of_o time_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o who_o have_v money_n may_v have_v man_n and_o they_o who_o have_v many_o man_n must_v consume_v much_o money_n it_o be_v true_a he_o be_v so_o near_o a_o borderer_n upon_o the_o republic_n it_o may_v give_v he_o the_o more_o confidence_n because_o a_o lesser_a number_n will_v be_v necessary_a to_o make_v the_o invasion_n but_o if_o the_o enterprise_n be_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o whole_a empire_n in_o which_o case_n the_o whole_a german_a nation_n will_v be_v a_o party_n i_o believe_v with_o the_o help_n of_o his_o own_o patrimonial_a dominion_n he_o will_v not_o do_v any_o great_a matter_n the_o rather_o because_o many_o great_a heretical_a prince_n and_o city_n of_o germany_n have_v the_o same_o interest_n to_o keep_v he_o low_o so_o that_o as_o he_o may_v perhaps_o be_v pretty_a smart_n upon_o a_o invasion_n or_o incursion_n at_o length_n of_o time_n he_o will_v prove_v as_o weak_a to_o hold_v out_o a_o war_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o erect_v the_o fortress_n of_o palma_n nuova_n to_o obviate_v a_o sudden_a incursion_n of_o his_o force_n and_o provide_v a_o retreat_n for_o the_o countrypeople_n so_o to_o gain_v time_n which_o be_v always_o as_o advantageous_a to_o the_o republic_n as_o dangerous_a to_o such_o a_o enemy_n who_o if_o he_o have_v not_o some_o body_n to_o furnish_v he_o with_o money_n will_v get_v but_o little_a ground_n though_o his_o army_n be_v numerous_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o maximilian_n now_o whether_o the_o republic_n have_v any_o title_n inclination_n or_o facility_n to_o acquire_v any_o part_n of_o the_o emperor_n territory_n i_o answer_v that_o without_o doubt_n the_o republic_n have_v pretence_n upon_o goritia_n and_o gradisca_n which_o former_o belong_v to_o the_o family_n of_o the_o frangipani_n and_o for_o a_o little_a while_n be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o republic_n there_o be_v likewise_o some_o castle_n in_o istria_n and_o upon_o the_o coast_n which_o the_o republic_n claim_v and_o for_o a_o inclination_n to_o acquire_v these_o we_o need_v not_o doubt_v but_o the_o republic_n have_v it_o it_o be_v either_o the_o virtue_n or_o vice_n of_o prince_n never_o to_o be_v without_o it_o but_o still_o the_o great_a consideration_n lie_v in_o the_o facility_n of_o do_v it_o for_o it_o there_o be_v that_o it_o be_v above_o half_a the_o title_n and_o if_o that_o be_v want_v it_o be_v imprudence_n to_o own_o any_o part_n of_o a_o pretence_n that_o must_v remain_v without_o execution_n i_o believe_v by_o sea_n it_o will_v prove_v easy_a to_o take_v trieste_n and_o some_o other_o place_n but_o it_o will_v be_v as_o hard_a to_o maintain_v they_o and_o to_o go_v further_o into_o the_o land_n will_v need_v great_a preparative_n on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o republic_n whereas_o on_o the_o emperor_n side_n the_o defence_n will_v be_v easy_a he_o have_v a_o command_n of_o man_n so_o that_o except_o in_o a_o open_a war_n there_o be_v no_o think_v of_o any_o strong_a attempt_v that_o way_n and_o then_o it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o put_v a_o good_a strength_n to_o it_o that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o war_n which_o always_o must_v one_o time_n or_o another_o be_v succeed_v by_o peace_n some_o of_o the_o country_n may_v remain_v by_o treaty_n in_o the_o venetian_n hand_n for_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o war_n for_o to_o begin_v a_o war_n only_o for_o the_o acquisition_n of_o these_o
