for_o to_o we_o the_o tree_n be_v only_o know_v by_o the_o fruit_n neither_o will_v i_o extend_v myself_o upon_o the_o discourse_n of_o his_o humility_n meekness_n charity_n and_o other_o divine_a grace_n since_o these_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n though_o more_o raise_v because_o they_o be_v derive_v from_o a_o high_a cause_n for_o christian_a religion_n be_v only_a reason_n sublime_v

therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o insist_v upon_o his_o majesty_n firmness_n to_o his_o religion_n as_o the_o most_o conduce_v to_o our_o purpose_n and_o in_o this_o particular_a he_o have_v give_v such_o signal_n testimony_n to_o the_o world_n that_o i_o wonder_v at_o the_o folly_n as_o well_o as_o the_o malice_n of_o his_o enemy_n that_o have_v plant_v their_o battery_n against_o this_o point_n but_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n derive_v from_o the_o father_n of_o lie_n to_o calumniate_v bold_o that_o something_o may_v remain_v and_o the_o people_n be_v so_o susceptible_a of_o tale_n that_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o invent_v a_o fable_n which_o be_v above_o their_o faith_n his_o majesty_n have_v pass_v ten_o year_n of_o his_o exile_n in_o the_o territory_n of_o catholic_n prince_n in_o france_n germany_n and_o flanders_n it_o can_v be_v doubt_v that_o he_o have_v be_v frequent_o importune_v to_o change_v his_o religion_n either_o by_o those_o who_o out_o of_o a_o firm_a persuasion_n of_o the_o verity_n of_o their_o own_o belief_n have_v think_v it_o a_o charity_n to_o make_v he_o a_o convert_n or_o those_o who_o from_o the_o presumption_n of_o their_o great_a ability_n in_o controversy_n have_v have_v the_o ambition_n to_o add_v so_o illustrious_a a_o person_n to_o the_o number_n of_o their_o proselyte_n or_o those_o politician_n who_o despair_v of_o his_o re-establishment_n unless_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o catholic_n prince_n have_v urge_v his_o conversion_n to_o the_o roman_a faith_n as_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o take_v the_o benevolence_n of_o his_o ally_n but_o they_o have_v all_o encounter_v such_o a_o immovable_a firmness_n in_o his_o majesty_n to_o the_o principle_n of_o his_o religion_n that_o they_o have_v retire_v from_o the_o assault_n with_o no_o other_o effect_n than_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o have_v discharge_v their_o conscience_n by_o their_o officious_a counsel_n among_o many_o other_o champion_n of_o the_o roman_a

be_v that_o have_v not_o join_v his_o force_n to_o combat_v he_o for_o his_o religion_n and_o shall_v he_o that_o have_v pass_v so_o successful_o through_o a_o ten_o year_n war_n in_o the_o defence_n
