be_v evident_a through_o de_fw-fr avila_n whole_a history_n of_o the_o civil_a war_n of_o france_n the_o history_n of_o the_o protestant_n of_o the_o upper_a hungary_n and_o of_o bohemia_n may_v in_o

though_o they_o make_v they_o pay_v dear_a for_o it_o be_v just_a and_o true_a to_o their_o league_n and_o treaty_n than_o the_o imperialist_n who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n it_o may_v possible_o be_v object_v here_o that_o while_o we_o exclaim_v against_o the_o french_a and_o german_n for_o their_o violence_n to_o their_o subject_n if_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o the_o papist_n it_o will_v be_v practise_v what_o we_o condemn_v and_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v include_v in_o what_o go_v before_o viz._n take_v the_o whole_a roman_a catholic_n and_o protestant_n party_n in_o europe_n asunder_o and_o consider_v they_o as_o two_o collective_a body_n divide_v in_o interest_n and_o religion_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o

prince_n but_o this_o may_v be_v more_o full_o answer_v thus_o that_o if_o the_o popish_a subject_n of_o some_o protestant_a government_n have_v so_o behave_v themselves_o to_o their_o governor_n as_o to_o make_v their_o extirpation_n just_a that_o justice_n however_o suspend_v in_o mercy_n to_o they_o hitherto_o will_v absolute_o justify_v remove_v they_o from_o those_o government_n and_o by_o
