revolt_n of_o a_o vast_a part_n of_o another_o prince_n subject_n through_o the_o terror_n of_o which_o the_o helpless_a prince_n leave_v his_o kingdom_n in_o anarchy_n under_o the_o army_n of_o the_o

confess_v i_o use_v care_n indeed_o but_o no_o trick_n for_o it_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o i_o to_o judge_v whether_o the_o prince_n power_n be_v irresistible_a or_o no_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o many_o case_n in_o which_o party_n yield_v rather_o than_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o a_o battle_n but_o every_o one_o can_v tell_v when_o it_o be_v or_o be_v not_o actual_o resist_v and_o the_o

but_o if_o you_o will_v require_v where_o the_o fault_n of_o this_o nonresistance_n real_o lie_v i_o think_v you_o may_v find_v it_o in_o he_o that_o neither_o can_v be_v induce_v to_o call_v a_o

but_o to_o desire_v such_o a_o settlement_n as_o the_o state_n of_o affair_n will_v admit_v as_o for_o the_o war_n we_o maintain_v with_o our_o purse_n against_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o our_o

tax_n to_o prevent_v new_a danger_n so_o we_o think_v the_o general_a exigency_n of_o the_o nation_n do_v legitimate_a this_o settlement_n and_o do_v still_o justify_v our_o plenary_a submission_n thereunto_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n law_n and_o usage_n of_o all_o nation_n as_o for_o those_o you_o call_v revolter_n they_o be_v not_o the_o subject_a of_o my_o discourse_n who_o i_o
