with_o strange_a dexterity_n and_o wondrous_a juggle_n they_o utter_o ruin_v those_o design_n to_o which_o they_o have_v give_v a_o beginning_n the_o league_n of_o france_n treat_v and_o conclude_v by_o they_o not_o long_o after_o they_o abandon_v when_o they_o see_v thing_n prosper_v on_o the_o king_n side_n and_o england_n so_o often_o promise_v by_o they_o to_o the_o spaniard_n yet_o in_o such_o manner_n perform_v so_o confirm_v this_o my_o discourse_n that_o there_o need_v no_o far_a proof_n ten_o from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o jesuite_n have_v no_o good_a intention_n towards_o any_o prince_n what_o ever_o either_o temporal_a or_o spiritual_a but_o only_o serve_v they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o may_v serve_v their_o own_o commodity_n nay_o it_o follow_v yet_o further_o that_o no_o prince_n much_o less_o any_o under_o prelate_n can_v make_v the_o like_a use_n of_o they_o because_o they_o show_v themselves_o at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n equal_o affect_v to_o all_o make_v themselves_o french_a with_o french_a man_n spaniard_n with_o spaniard_n and_o so_o with_o all_o other_o according_a as_o the_o occasion_n

erterprise_n in_o which_o they_o have_v intermedle_v have_v seldom_o time_n succeed_v well_o because_o they_o have_v no_o purpose_n to_o serve_v further_o than_o their_o own_o interest_n dictate_v to_o they_o and_o in_o this_o the_o artifice_n which_o they_o use_v be_v most_o notorious_a some_o of_o they_o feign_v themselves_o to_o be_v partial_a to_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n other_o to_o spain_n other_o to_o the_o emperor_n and_o some_o to_o other_o prince_n of_o who_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v favour_v and_o if_o any_o of_o these_o prince_n please_v to_o make_v use_n of_o some_o jesuite_n who_o he_o hold_v for_o his_o confident_a friend_n he_o immediate_o write_v to_o the_o father_n general_n the_o business_n which_o he_o have_v to_o treat_v and_o expect_v his_o answer_n

pretend_v to_o hold_v with_o france_n propound_v to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o principal_a minister_n certain_a condition_n of_o state_n and_o important_a consideration_n which_o be_v send_v to_o

from_o which_o course_n of_o they_o there_o arise_v such_o a_o diffidence_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o christian_a prince_n that_o none_o give_v credit_n to_o other_o which_o be_v a_o main_a prejudice_n to_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o universal_a welfare_n of_o christendom_n the_o which_o diffidence_n of_o they_o be_v that_o which_o make_v it_o so_o difficult_a a_o thing_n to_o conclude_v a_o

the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o sharpen_v man_n wit_n in_o matter_n of_o state_n that_o this_o day_n to_o the_o notable_a prejudice_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n they_o attend_v to_o

plain_o i_o can_v here_o conceal_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o they_o in_o veigle_v prince_n to_o their_o party_n there_o be_v some_o year_n now_o past_a since_o one_o of_o these_o father_n call_v

parson_n and_o feign_v to_o be_v at_o discord_n among_o themselves_o although_o all_o this_o be_v indeed_o cunning_o do_v and_o by_o the_o command_n of_o their_o father_n general_n only_o for_o this_o purpose_n that_o whosoever_o shall_v succeed_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n they_o may_v have_v a_o excellent_a argument_n to_o work_v in_o he_o a_o great_a good_a opinion_n of_o their_o

by_o consequence_n to_o make_v good_a their_o own_o say_n that_o their_o society_n be_v a_o grand_a monarchy_n again_o that_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o jesuite_n have_v
