rightful_a prince_z be_v restore_v 18._o consider_v the_o great_a effusion_n of_o blood_n and_o ruin_n of_o estate_n which_o must_v necessary_o happen_v if_o he_o be_v restore_v by_o force_n either_o at_o home_o or_o from_o abroad_o against_o either_o of_o which_o we_o can_v never_o be_v secure_v and_o now_o more_o especial_o the_o latter_a consider_v the_o league_n between_o the_o two_o potent_a

design_n of_o the_o jesuit_n who_o have_v try_v his_o steadfastness_n in_o religion_n to_o prevent_v his_o restitution_n by_o his_o subject_n that_o he_o may_v be_v necessitate_v to_o fly_v unto_o foreign_a power_n for_o effect_v it_o the_o most_o probable_a mean_n of_o introduce_v popery_n for_o which_o purpose_n they_o be_v come_v over_o in_o swarm_n and_o in_o private_a congregation_n more_o especial_o among_o the_o soldier_n with_o who_o they_o have_v mingle_v themselves_o under_o the_o disguise_n of_o more_o plausible_a faction_n do_v sow_v the_o seed_n of_o perpetual_a enmity_n as_o well_o against_o he_o as_o among_o ourselves_o and_o some_o of_o they_o have_v bold_o affirm_v that_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v restore_v but_o by_o their_o mean_n 20._o consider_v this_o
