of_o some_o process_n than_o he_o that_o have_v be_v at_o the_o like_a this_o do_v i_o say_v sir_n since_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o dangerous_a then_o slander_v and_o that_o no_o man_n can_v better_o judge_v of_o the_o perverseness_n thereof_o than_o such_o as_o have_v both_o taste_v and_o try_v it_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o reform_a prince_n have_v be_v sclander_v by_o the_o pope_n who_o have_v note_v they_o of_o heresy_n and_o in_o my_o opinion_n your_o majesty_n can_v best_o judge_v of_o the_o injury_n do_v unto_o they_o as_o have_v in_o yourself_o try_v the_o sharpness_n of_o the_o dart_n of_o slander_n for_o your_o majesty_n have_v with_o the_o like_a dart_n be_v atteint_v no_o less_o pernitious_o and_o malicious_o then_o the_o reform_a prince_n consider_v that_o the_o slander_n raise_v upon_o your_o majesty_n be_v both_o undirect_a and_o secret_a but_o the_o same_o wherewith_o the_o reform_a prince_n be_v charge_v be_v open_a now_o be_v it_o a_o plain_a case_n that_o a_o secret_a enemy_n be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o a_o open_a and_o so_o consequent_o they_o that_o have_v touch_v your_o majesty_n with_o such_o a_o slander_n bear_v you_o inward_a malice_n be_v most_o dangerous_a enemy_n the_o slander_n wherewith_o the_o pope_n have_v charge_v the_o reform_a prince_n be_v well_o enough_o know_v and_o the_o answer_v thereto_o together_o with_o their_o just_a defence_n shall_v in_o my_o opinion_n be_v peremptory_o enough_o entreat_v of_o in_o this_o present_a treatise_n but_o the_o slander_v wherewith_o the_o pope_n do_v charge_v your_o majesty_n deserve_v the_o lay_v open_a because_o that_o be_v both_o secret_a and_o indirect_a it_o have_v nevertheless_o a_o more_o venomous_a tail_n than_o the_o tail_n of_o a_o scorpion_n and_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o the_o wound_n can_v hardly_o be_v cure_v but_o by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o byter_fw-mi if_o the_o pope_n can_v have_v burden_v your_o majesty_n with_o heresy_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v spare_v you_o but_o your_o majesty_n have_v always_o be_v so_o good_a a_o catholic_n that_o he_o can_v not_o accuse_v you_o of_o heresy_n but_o he_o must_v first_o have_v condemn_v himself_o and_o therefore_o see_v that_o way_n will_v not_o serve_v he_o have_v seek_v out_o a_o other_o for_o under_o hand_n he_o have_v spread_v abroad_o sundry_a brute_n &_o news_n import_v that_o your_o majesty_n do_v favour_n heretic_n and_o have_v about_o you_o those_o that_o take_v part_n with_o heretic_n and_o these_o rumour_n have_v he_o disperse_v not_o only_o in_o france_n but_o through_o all_o italy_n germany_n and_o other_o place_n now_o therefore_o let_v your_o majesty_n judge_v what_o a_o impression_n this_o may_v leave_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n and_o what_o a_o consequence_n this_o action_n draw_v after_o it_o your_o majesty_n may_v thereby_o read_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o pope_n &_o the_o league_n &_o turn_v the_o leaf_n never_o so_o little_a may_v know_v their_o drift_n together_o with_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o matter_n that_o be_v that_o the_o pope_n seek_v first_o to_o weaken_v the_o part_n of_o the_o reformation_n that_o it_o may_v stand_v as_o a_o 0_o in_o algorisme_n and_o next_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o the_o inquisition_n so_o to_o authorise_v the_o league_n even_o above_o your_o majesty_n so_o as_o no_o man_n may_v speak_v amiss_o of_o the_o pope_n or_o the_o league_n but_o he_o shall_v sudden_o be_v cast_v into_o prison_n and_o that_o once_o bring_v to_o pass_v the_o next_o must_v be_v to_o lay_v hand_n upon_o yourself_o and_o bury_v you_o in_o some_o monastery_n i_o say_v bury_v because_o so_o you_o shall_v die_v double_a in_o this_o world_n and_o by_o and_o by_o raise_v speech_n according_a to_o the_o impression_n afore_o mention_v that_o your_o majesty_n have_v favour_v the_o heretic_n be_v by_o his_o holiness_n depose_v from_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o cardinal_n of_o bourbon_n declare_v next_o but_o unmeet_a for_o succession_n and_o therefore_o that_o he_o will_v set_v up_o such_o a_o one_o of_o the_o league_n as_o shall_v be_v at_o his_o devotion_n this_o i_o say_v will_v he_o do_v if_o your_o majesty_n take_v not_o the_o better_a heed_n and_o provide_v not_o in_o time_n for_o it_o neither_o shall_v he_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v not_o already_o be_v do_v to_o your_o predecessor_n who_o estate_n the_o pope_n have_v trouble_v when_o there_o be_v no_o speech_n of_o reformation_n but_o only_o upon_o malice_n that_o they_o bear_v to_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o french_a church_n and_o also_o albeit_o your_o majesty_n shall_v shake_v of_o the_o pope_n yoke_n yet_o shall_v you_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o your_o predecessor_n have_v seek_v to_o do_v witness_v the_o pragmatical_a sanction_n neither_o shall_v it_o be_v any_o novelty_n in_o france_n the_o hatred_n also_o that_o the_o pope_n bear_v to_o your_o

may_v be_v his_o creature_n so_o that_o his_o drift_n be_v as_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o clergy_n as_o pernicious_a to_o your_o person_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v hurtful_a to_o the_o people_n let_v the_o present_a trouble_n declare_v for_o the_o people_n have_v be_v at_o rest_n have_v not_o the_o league_n trouble_v all_o france_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o concern_v all_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o mean_n to_o remedy_v it_o but_o by_o shake_v of_o the_o pope_n yoke_n your_o predecessor_n have_v do_v it_o for_o a_o small_a matter_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o

of_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a which_o we_o do_v crave_v be_v better_a for_o france_n and_o the_o state_n thereof_o than_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o tridentine_a council_n that_o the_o league_n

but_o albeit_o your_o majesty_n will_v not_o come_v near_o to_o that_o point_n yet_o can_v you_o not_o escape_v the_o pope_n superstitious_a practice_n but_o by_o renounce_v the_o papacy_n after_o
