the_o guisars_n hap_n to_o serve_v for_o boutefeus_n in_o scotland_n and_o while_o it_o shall_v please_v your_o majesty_n but_o with_o reasonable_a favour_n to_o support_v the_o king_n of_o navarre_n i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o french_a king_n will_v ever_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v from_o thence_o anoy_v therefore_o for_o france_n your_o majesty_n may_v assure_v yourself_o of_o one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o to_o make_v with_o he_o a_o good_a alliance_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o common_a enemy_n of_o both_o kingdom_n or_o at_o the_o least_o so_o to_o muzzle_n he_o as_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v little_a power_n to_o bite_v you_o as_o for_o scotland_n if_o your_o majesty_n assist_v and_o help_v those_o noble_a man_n there_o which_o be_v by_o he_o suspect_v your_o majesty_n may_v be_v sure_a of_o this_o that_o those_o will_v keep_v at_o home_n and_o also_o whilst_o he_o be_v a_o protestant_n no_o foreign_a prince_n will_v take_v part_n with_o he_o against_o your_o majesty_n and_o of_o himself_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v much_o harm_n the_o better_a part_n of_o his_o noble_n be_v for_o your_o majesty_n and_o if_o in_o time_n he_o shall_v grow_v to_o be_v a_o papist_n your_o majesty_n shall_v always_o have_v a_o strong_a party_n at_o his_o own_o door_n in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n to_o restrain_v his_o malice_n who_o since_o they_o depend_v upon_o your_o majesty_n they_o be_v in_o all_o policy_n never_o to_o be_v abandon_v for_o by_o this_o resolution_n the_o roman_n ancient_o and_o the_o spaniard_n present_o have_v most_o of_o all_o prevail_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o macedonian_n in_o time_n past_a &_o the_o french_a man_n in_o our_o age_n have_v lose_v all_o their_o foreign_a friend_n because_o of_o their_o aptness_n to_o neglect_v they_o who_o depend_v upon_o they_o but_o if_o your_o majesty_n can_v by_o any_o mean_v possible_a devise_n to_o bring_v in_o again_o the_o hamilton_n he_o shall_v then_o be_v beat_v with_o his_o own_o weapon_n and_o shall_v have_v more_o cause_n to_o look_v to_o his_o own_o succession_n then_o to_o be_v too_o busy_a abroad_o but_o spain_n yea_o spain_n it_o be_v in_o which_o as_o i_o conceive_v all_o cause_n do_v concur_v to_o give_v a_o just_a alarm_n to_o your_o excellent_a highness_n judgement_n first_o because_o in_o religion_n he_o be_v so_o much_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o pope_n in_o policy_n so_o much_o he_o as_o that_o the_o mind_n of_o pope_n gregory_n and_o the_o power_n of_o king_n philip_n will_n nor_o can_v compass_v or_o bring_v we_o in_o all_o probability_n to_o be_v expect_v himself_o be_v a_o prince_n who_o closet_n have_v bring_v forth_o geat_a victory_n than_o all_o his_o father_n journey_n absolute_o by_o rule_v his_o subject_n a_o people_n all_o one_o heart_a in_o religion_n constant_o ambitious_a politic_a and_o valiant_a the_o king_n rich_a and_o liberal_a and_o which_o of_o all_o i_o like_v worst_a great_o belove_v among_o all_o the_o discontent_a party_n of_o your_o highness_n subject_n a_o more_o lively_a proof_n whereof_o one_o can_v never_o see_v then_o in_o the_o poor_a don_n anthonio_n who_o when_o he_o be_v here_o be_v as_o much_o at_o mass_n as_o any_o man_n live_v yet_o there_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o papist_n in_o england_n give_v he_o any_o good_a countenance_n so_o factious_a a_o affection_n be_v bear_v the_o spaniard_n now_o as_o of_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o doubt_n so_o of_o he_o the_o chief_a care_n must_v be_v have_v of_o providence_n but_o this_o offer_v a_o great_a question_n whether_o it_o bebetter_v to_o procure_v his_o amity_n or_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o his_o enmity_n as_o of_o a_o great_a lion_n whether_o it_o be_v more_o wisdom_n to_o trust_v to_o the_o tame_n of_o he_o or_o tie_v of_o he_o i_o confess_v this_o require_v a_o long_o and_o large_a discourse_n and_o a_o better_a discourser_n than_o myself_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v stay_v myself_o from_o rove_a over_o so_o large_a a_o field_n but_o only_o with_o the_o usual_a presumption_n of_o love_n yield_v this_o to_o your_o gracious_a consideration_n first_o if_o you_o have_v any_o intention_n of_o league_n you_o see_v upon_o what_o assurance_n or_o at_o lest_o what_o likelihood_n you_o may_v have_v that_o he_o will_v observe_v the_o same_o second_o that_o in_o a_o parly_a season_n it_o it_o be_v not_o as_o a_o countenance_n unto_o he_o the_o soon_o to_o overthrow_v the_o low_a country_n which_o hitherto_o have_v be_v as_o a_o counterscarff_a to_o your_o majesty_n kingdom_n but_o if_o you_o do_v not_o league_n than_o your_o majesty_n be_v to_o think_v upon_o mean_n for_o strengthen_v yourself_o and_o weaken_v of_o he_o and_o therein_o your_o own_o strength_n be_v to_o be_v tender_v both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o for_o your_o home_n strength_n in_o all_o reverence_n i_o leave_v it_o as_o the_o thing_n which_o contain_v in_o effect_n the_o universal_a consideration_n of_o government_n for_o your_o strength_n abroad_o it_o it_o must_v be_v in_o join_v in_o good_a confederacy_n or_o at_o least_o intelligence_n with_o those_o that_o will_v willing_o embrace_v the_o same_o true_o not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o turk_n and_o morocco_n but_o at_o some_o time_n they_o may_v serve_v your_o majesty_n to_o great_a purpose_n but_o from_o florence_n ferrara_n and_o especial_o venice_n i_o think_v your_o majesty_n may_v reap_v great_a assurance_n and_o service_n for_o undoubted_o they_o fear_v his_o fraud_n and_o abhor_v his_o greatness_n and_o for_o the_o dutch_a and_o northern_a prince_n be_v in_o effect_n of_o your_o majesty_n religion_n i_o can_v think_v but_o their_o alliance_n may_v be_v firm_a and_o their_o power_n not_o to_o be_v contemn_v even_o the_o countenance_n of_o unite_a power_n do_v much_o in_o matter_n of_o state_n for_o the_o weaken_n of_o he_o i_o will_v i_o must_v confess_v from_o my_o heart_n wish_v that_o your_o majesty_n do_v not_o spare_v thorough_o and_o manifest_o both_o upon_o the_o indies_n and_o the_o low-countries_n which_o will_v give_v themselves_o unto_o you_o and_o rather_o take_v he_o while_o he_o have_v one_o hand_n free_a and_o at_o liberty_n then_o both_o of_o they_o sharp_o weapon_v but_o if_o this_o seem_v foolish_a hardiness_n to_o your_o majesty_n wisdom_n yet_o i_o dare_v not_o presume_v to_o council_n but_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n that_o what_o i_o say_v your_o majesty_n without_o war_n can_v give_v to_o the_o low-countries_n you_o will_v vouchfafe_v to_o do_v it_o since_o as_o king_n of_o spain_n without_o the_o low_a country_n he_o may_v trouble_v our_o skirt_n of_o ireland_n but_o can_v never_o come_v to_o grasp_v with_o you_o but_o if_o he_o once_o reduce_v the_o low-countries_n to_o a_o absolute_a subjection_n i_o know_v not_o what_o limit_n any_o man_n of_o judgement_n can_v set_v unto_o his_o greatness_n divers_a way_n be_v to_o be_v try_v among_o the_o rest_n one_o not_o the_o worst_a in_o my_o opinion_n may_v be_v to_o seek_v either_o the_o win_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o parma_n from_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n or_o at_o the_o least_o to_o have_v the_o matter_n so_o handle_v so_o as_o the_o jealousy_n thereof_o may_v arise_v betwixt_o they_o as_o pope_n clement_n do_v by_o the_o notable_a marquis_n of_o pescara_n for_o he_o practise_v with_o he_o for_o offer_v the_o kingdom_n of_o naples_n not_o so_o much_o with_o who_o to_o join_v he_o as_o to_o make_v his_o master_n suspect_v he_o for_o when_o i_o confider_v that_o parma_n be_v a_o roman_a by_o blood_n a_o prince_n bear_v place_v in_o the_o place_n he_o have_v by_o don_n john_n and_o maintain_v in_o it_o by_o the_o malcontent_n whereunto_o the_o king_n have_v rather_o yield_v of_o necessity_n than_o any_o other_o way_n last_o when_o i_o remember_v the_o citadel_n of_o pierensa_fw-la keep_v by_o the_o spaniard_n and_o the_o apparent_a title_n of_o his_o son_n remutio_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o portugal_n thing_n hardly_o to_o be_v digest_v by_o a_o italian_a stomach_n i_o can_v see_v how_o such_o a_o mind_n in_o such_o a_o fortune_n can_v sell_v itself_o to_o a_o foreign_a servitude_n the_o manner_n of_o deal_n with_o he_o shall_v be_v by_o some_o man_n of_o spirit_n with_o the_o venetian_a ambassador_n at_o paris_n and_o afterward_o with_o his_o own_o father_n in_o italy_n both_o which_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n mortal_a enemy_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o spain_n but_o these_o sheet_n of_o paper_n bare_a witness_n against_o i_o of_o have_v offer_v too_o tedious_a a_o discourse_n to_o your_o majesty_n divers_a of_o which_o point_n yet_o as_o of_o mitigate_a the_o oath_n the_o school_n hostage_n the_o hearten_v of_o tenant_n and_o the_o
