sir_n after_o i_o have_v write_v my_o other_o letter_n yesterday_o there_o happen_v some_o alteration_n in_o this_o great_a matter_n of_o moment_n where_o the_o queen_n majesty_n majesty_n have_v determine_v beside_o her_o answer_n to_o the_o french_a article_n to_o have_v also_o send_v you_o certain_a other_o article_n to_o be_v demand_v of_o they_o there_o whereby_o the_o whole_a cause_n shall_v be_v open_v and_o nothing_o leave_v behind_o in_o silence_n so_o that_o both_o party_n may_v have_v understand_v their_o mutual_a intention_n now_o sudden_o her_o majesty_n have_v think_v good_a at_o this_o time_n to_o send_v only_o the_o french_a article_n and_o her_o answer_n and_o for_o the_o rest_n she_o mean_v to_o reserve_v until_o she_o may_v understand_v how_o her_o answer_n be_v take_v and_o special_o how_o the_o knotty_a point_n of_o religion_n will_v be_v smooth_v and_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o change_n as_o i_o conjecture_v grow_v of_o some_o late_a intelligence_n bring_v thence_o that_o if_o the_o queen_n majesty_n will_v stand_v earnest_o upon_o that_o point_n for_o religion_n it_o shall_v be_v assent_v unto_o which_o cause_v she_o to_o proceed_v thus_o confident_o and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o wish_v most_o hearty_o that_o it_o may_v so_o succeed_v but_o that_o only_o i_o must_v fear_v except_o you_o shall_v moderate_v the_o matter_n better_o they_o there_o will_v imagine_v that_o this_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v but_o project_v to_o colour_v the_o delay_n in_o break_v off_o for_o indeed_o in_o like_a cause_n so_o do_v the_o emperor_n for_o his_o brother_n the_o archduke_n charles_n as_o i_o can_v instruct_v you_o how_o to_o dissolve_v this_o doubt_n there_o but_o as_o cause_n shall_v be_v give_v so_o i_o know_v your_o wisdom_n

a_o husband_n such_o a_o one_o as_o by_o sudden_a change_n of_o religion_n may_v be_v think_v through_o worldly_a respect_n void_a of_o all_o conscience_n and_o religion_n i_o reply_v that_o i_o be_v will_v to_o say_v to_o she_o from_o her_o majesty_n that_o she_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o monsieur_n her_o son_n by_o her_o good_a persuasion_n will_v take_v in_o good_a part_n her_o say_a answer_n who_o mean_v not_o such_o sudden_a change_n of_o religion_n as_o that_o he_o or_o his_o household_n shall_v be_v compel_v to_o use_v the_o rite_n of_o the_o english_a church_n contrary_a to_o he_o or_o their_o conscience_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o grant_n unto_o he_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o religion_n be_v contrary_a to_o her_o law_n may_v by_o a_o example_n breed_v such_o a_o offence_n as_o be_v like_a to_o kindle_v such_o trouble_n as_o late_o reign_v in_o france_n whereof_o both_o herself_o and_o her_o son_n have_v good_a experience_n she_o therefore_o hope_v that_o he_o who_o if_o the_o match_n proceed_v be_v to_o sail_v with_o she_o in_o in_o one_o ship_n and_o to_o run_v with_o she_o one_o fortune_n will_v not_o require_v a_o thing_n that_o she_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v yield_v to_o who_o tender_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o quiet_a and_o repose_v of_o her_o subject_n and_o therefore_o in_o respect_n ●hereof_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n consent_n to_o any_o such_o permission_n as_o may_v by_o any_o likelihood_n disturb_v the_o same_o to_o this_o she_o reply_v that_o the_o not_o have_v the_o exercise_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o change_v his_o religion_n which_o thing_n he_o can_v not_o do_v upon_o a_o sudden_a without_o the_o note_n to_o be_v of_o no_o religion_n which_o dishonour_n i_o be_o sure_a no_o respect_n can_v draw_v he_o to_o endanger_v himself_o and_o as_o he_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o say_a ignominy_n be_v resolve_v full_o not_o to_o yield_v so_o can_v i_o with_o no_o reason_n persuade_v he_o thereto_o and_o as_o for_o any_o peril_n that_o may_v happen_v by_o the_o same_o i_o think_v it_o shall_v be_v the_o best_a way_n of_o safety_n of_o your_o mistress_n who_o always_o by_o the_o way_n of_o his_o brother_n sword_n shall_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o correct_v any_o such_o evil_a subject_n as_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o disturb_v the_o repose_n and_o quiet_a of_o her_o estate_n which_o she_o may_v assure_v herself_o he_o will_v do_v without_o have_v respect_n to_o any_o religion_n whereof_o some_o trial_n late_o have_v be_v make_v by_o his_o consent_n with_o the_o king_n to_o have_v some_o good_a justice_n and_o example_n of_o punishment_n do_v at_o rouen_n in_o answer_v whereof_o i_o beseech_v she_o to_o consider_v as_o well_o the_o queen_n damage_n as_o her_o son_n honour_n i_o show_v she_o that_o of_o this_o permission_n great_a mischief_n will_v ensue_v first_o the_o violate_v of_o her_o law_n secondary_o the_o offence_n of_o her_o good_a and_o faithful_a subject_n and_o last_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o evil_n affect_v which_o three_o mischief_n if_o you_o will_v weigh_v say_v i_o together_o with_o your_o son_n honour_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o of_o great_a moment_n and_o that_o the_o queen_n majesty_n my_o mistress_n have_v great_a cause_n to_o stand_v to_o the_o denial_n of_o any_o such_o permission_n whereof_o be_v likely_a to_o ensue_v such_o manifest_a peril_n and_o as_o for_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o king_n sword_n i_o show_v she_o that_o the_o example_n by_o permission_n will_v do_v much_o more_o hurt_v then_o either_o his_o own_o or_o his_o brother_n sword_n can_v do_v good_a for_o that_o the_o issue_n of_o our_o mischief_n by_o civil_a dissension_n fall_v out_o common_o to_o be_v sudden_a and_o short_a but_o very_o sharp_a and_o be_v not_o draw_v in_o length_n as_o those_o that_o happen_v in_o other_o country_n we_o have_v neither_o wall_a town_n nor_o fortress_n to_o retire_v to_o thereby_o to_o protract_v our_o war_n to_o this_o
