the_o general_a report_n be_v sufficient_a attestation_n of_o the_o truth_n deliver_v to_o avoid_v tediousness_n therefore_o i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o point_n say_v that_o this_o haply_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o jesuit_n be_v wont_a to_o call_v their_o way_n of_o religion_n a_o grand-monarchy_n as_o if_o they_o govern_v all_o prince_n and_o their_o minister_n at_o their_o pleasure_n not_o be_v it_o long_o since_o that_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a among_o they_o being_z ro_o treat_v public_o with_o a_o illustrious_a prince_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o society_n begin_v with_o these_o word_n full_a of_o arrogance_n and_o ground_v upon_o a_o conceit_n of_o their_o monarchy_n our_o society_n have_v always_o maintain_v good_a intelligence_n with_o your_o grace_n etc._n etc._n seven_o those_o father_n make_v a_o great_a stir_n to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o all_o those_o that_o be_v any_o way_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o their_o prince_n be_v sometime_o creature_n of_o they_o and_o be_v oblige_v for_o their_o advancement_n to_o they_o hence_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o have_v a_o great_a command_n of_o the_o subject_n affection_n then_o the_o prince_n himself_o upon_o who_o this_o must_v needs_o bring_v great_a inconvenienience_n for_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n a_o affront_n to_o the_o public_a interest_n that_o a_o sort_n of_o
