A38820	Discourses on the present state of the Protestant princes of Europe exhorting them to an union and league amongst themselves against all opposite interest, from the great endeavours of the court of France and Rome to influence all Roman Catholick princes, against the Protestant states and religion, and the advantage that our divisions give to their party : wherein the general scope of this horrid Popish Plot is laid down, and presented to publick view / by Edmund Everard ...

in_o the_o business_n of_o the_o reduction_n of_o rochel_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o most_o considerable_a conversion_n of_o estate_n war_n and_o disorder_n of_o

in_o this_o conjuncture_n two_o thing_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o electoral_a house_n palatine_n of_o the_o rhine_n with_o a_o pure_a and_o true_o politic_a respect_n unto_o the_o say_v confederation_n and_o other_o particular_a management_n the_o first_o be_v to_o procure_v to_o this_o illustrious_a house_n a_o justice_n that_o speak_v sufficient_o for_o itself_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o

shall_v put_v themselves_o into_o a_o condition_n to_o balance_v these_o two_o that_o whensoever_o the_o one_o shall_v invade_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o other_o his_o corrival_n he_o may_v not_o be_v

of_o a_o devour_a ambition_n alone_o without_o any_o right_n but_o that_o of_o his_o own_o honour_n or_o bienseance_n will_v raise_v to_o himself_o the_o title_n of_o the_o conqueror_n by_o invade_v
