the_o policy_n of_o other_o prince_n will_v not_o only_o roast_v but_o kindle_v the_o fire_n to_o roast_v the_o spaniard_n in_o the_o fat_a of_o the_o french_a but_o because_o these_o two_o monarchy_n be_v so_o situate_v by_o nature_n and_o the_o distribution_n of_o politic_a interest_n that_o the_o one_o can_v be_v diminish_v without_o the_o augmentation_n of_o the_o other_o so_o that_o all_o the_o politic_a reason_n of_o other_o prince_n require_v they_o to_o keep_v these_o two_o monarchy_n in_o a_o even_a balance_n wherefore_o every_o time_n they_o see_v one_o of_o they_o fall_v they_o run_v immediate_o to_o lend_v they_o their_o hand_n against_o the_o other_o and_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o curious_a thing_n to_o see_v how_o the_o english_a venetian_n hollander_n and_o swisses_n and_o the_o other_o prince_n of_o italy_n and_o germany_n labour_v to_o raise_v up_o the_o poor_a spaniard_n one_o lift_v up_o one_o leg_n another_o another_o some_o one_o arm_n other_o another_z

but_o with_o all_o this_o they_o do_v nothing_o and_o to_o speak_v true_o how_o can_v they_o because_o they_o fear_v so_o much_o the_o rise_a fortune_n of_o france_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o declare_v themselves_o open_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o spaniard_n whereby_o the_o help_n they_o bring_v he_o serve_v to_o little_a purpose_n m._n i_o know_v not_o how_o affair_n go_v in_o hell_n because_o i_o be_v never_o there_o but_o be_o sure_a they_o be_v otherwise_o transact_v in_o europe_n policy_n and_o religion_n be_v so_o jumble_v together_o that_o the_o interest_n of_o religion_n

that_o thou_o shall_v talk_v so_o like_o a_o wise_a man_n of_o gotham_n for_o how_o prithee_o can_v the_o discourse_n of_o prince_n and_o religion_n agree_v together_o since_o the_o religion_n of_o prince_n must_v ever_o serve_v or_o be_v use_v as_o antimony_n be_v by_o the_o sick_a and_o sometime_o by_o the_o healthy_a which_o when_o take_v in_o small_a quantity_n exact_o weigh_v and_o

poison_v the_o stomach_n and_o kill_v the_o body_n so_o religion_n by_o prince_n must_v needs_o be_v but_o little_a use_v and_o very_o well_o weigh_v for_o a_o little_a too_o much_o be_v sufficient_a to_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a of_o any_o principality_n nay_o i_o will_v say_v more_o that_o as_o antimony_n be_v not_o common_o give_v but_o in_o desperate_a case_n so_o prince_n ought_v not_o to_o
