a_o little_a too_o high_a with_o relation_n to_o the_o pope_n resentment_n he_o make_v they_o as_o abject_a as_o can_v be_v in_o their_o own_o particular_n since_o they_o own_o that_o the_o ground_n

possible_a zeal_n but_o the_o king_n of_o england_n by_o a_o fatal_a blindness_n reject_v all_o this_o and_o here_o he_o pretend_v to_o tell_v what_o may_v be_v the_o secret_a reason_n of_o it_o in_o his_o way_n that_o be_v to_o say_v very_o impertinent_o he_o add_v that_o king_n henry_n send_v to_o francis_n to_o demand_v cardinal_n pool_n as_o a_o fugitive_n and_o a_o traitor_n and_o that_o he_o cite_v the_o example_n of_o charles_n the_o five_o and_o of_o his_o father_n who_o have_v deliver_v up_o prince_n of_o the_o house_n of_o york_n to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o in_o

know_v that_o it_o be_v print_v in_o the_o year_n 1536._o in_o which_o he_o have_v use_v the_o king_n in_o a_o stile_n that_o no_o crown_a head_n in_o the_o world_n can_v all_o owe_v of_o but_o the_o conclusion_n of_o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o he_o conjure_v the_o emperor_n to_o turn_v his_o arm_n rather_o against_o the_o king_n than_o against_o the_o turk_n and_o it_o be_v know_v in_o england_n that_o he_o have_v obtain_v this_o commission_n to_o be_v send_v to_o france_n only_o that_o he_o may_v set_v on_o a_o league_n between_o the_o two_o crown_n against_o england_n and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o king_n resent_v his_o be_v well_o receive_v in_o the_o court_n of_o france_n 2._o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o when_o charles_n the_o five_o be_v contrive_v how_o to_o make_v war_n upon_o england_n and_o be_v the_o person_n that_o chief_o support_v cardinal_n pool_n that_o i_o say_v king_n henry_n will_v be_v so_o high_o displease_v with_o the_o civility_n of_o the_o court_n of_o france_n to_o the_o cardinal_n as_o to_o threaten_v upon_o that_o to_o join_v with_o the_o emperor_n who_o be_v the_o king_n chief_a enemy_n and_o the_o

therefore_o our_o author_n who_o love_v to_o elevate_v and_o surprise_v his_o reader_n will_v needs_o despise_v the_o project_n in_o scotland_n and_o so_o will_v carry_v it_o over_o to_o denmark_n
