hinder_v the_o progress_n of_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o republic_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o we_o will_v answer_v with_o a_o general_n rule_n which_o be_v that_o it_o never_o be_v advantageous_a to_o a_o prince_n who_o desire_v to_o remain_v free_a and_o powerful_a to_o let_v another_o grow_v great_a except_o it_o be_v to_o lessen_v a_o three_o who_o be_v great_a than_o they_o both_o and_o if_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o agrandized_a be_v a_o neighbour_n his_o advancement_n be_v so_o much_o more_o to_o be_v fear_v these_o alteration_n indeed_o may_v not_o be_v so_o dangerous_a to_o a_o

case_n of_o the_o republic_n we_o will_v say_v that_o if_o the_o church_n can_v make_v itself_o master_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n dominion_n in_o italy_n where_o he_o be_v the_o great_a prince_n they_o may_v hope_v for_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o republic_n which_o be_v the_o second_o great_a italian_a potentate_n because_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o republic_n may_v become_v the_o first_o and_o however_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o church_n will_v always_o give_v less_o jealousy_n to_o the_o republic_n than_o the_o spanish_a power_n in_o italy_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o pontifical_a principality_n be_v elective_a and_o temporary_a and_o the_o aim_n and_o design_n of_o that_o court_n vary_v according_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o several_a pope_n and_o sometime_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o long_a vacancy_n whereas_o the_o monarchy_n of_o spain_n be_v successive_a and_o as_o one_o may_v say_v eternal_a and_o govern_v by_o stand_a last_a

they_o himself_o alone_o he_o may_v then_o unite_v with_o the_o republic_n upon_o condition_n to_o have_v the_o best_a part_n of_o the_o spoil_n but_o if_o the_o emperor_n shall_v as_o former_o come_v to_o a_o great_a rupture_n with_o the_o church_n and_o employ_v hearty_o his_o power_n in_o the_o quarrel_n it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o he_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o engage_v the_o republic_n by_o a_o promise_n of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o conquest_n i_o think_v in_o any_o other_o way_n it_o be_v not_o probable_a to_o make_v any_o advantage_n of_o the_o imperial_a assistance_n the_o last_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o can_v unite_v with_o other_o against_o the_o republic_n and_o of_o this_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n for_o if_o maximilian_n though_o infinite_o oblige_v to_o the_o republic_n make_v no_o difficulty_n to_o unite_v in_o a_o league_n with_o lewis_n the_o twelve_o of_o france_n his_o competitor_n and_o enemy_n who_o for_o injury_n receive_v he_o have_v declare_v a_o rebel_n to_o the_o sacred_a empire_n though_o lewis_n laugh_v at_o that_o imaginary_a jurisdiction_n i_o say_v if_o he_o can_v submit_v to_o join_v with_o so_o suspect_v a_o power_n much_o less_o will_v the_o emperor_n now_o scruple_n the_o unite_n either_o with_o spain_n or_o the_o pope_n or_o any_o other_o prince_n of_o italy_n not_o only_o for_o to_o acquire_v territory_n but_o even_o for_o bare_a money_n if_o it_o be_v offer_v he_o with_o france_n i_o believe_v the_o union_n will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_a as_o it_o be_v then_o because_o now_o the_o emperor_n be_v partial_a for_o spain_n if_o their_o interest_n do_v not_o concur_v they_o will_v hinder_v he_o from_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o any_o hope_n or_o promise_n but_o this_o will_v appear_v better_o when_o we_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o spain_n for_o if_o spain_n will_v have_v a_o league_n against_o the_o republic_n the_o emperor_n will_v never_o stand_v out_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o france_n it_o be_v not_o above_o fifty_o year_n ago_o that_o the_o republic_n think_v themselves_o oblige_v not_o only_o to_o desire_v but_o to_o procure_v the_o greatness_n of_o france_n because_o be_v under_o
