yet_o come_v invigorate_v by_o these_o word_n i_o advance_v further_o on_o to_o see_v whence_o it_o can_v proceed_v that_o a_o machine_n that_o be_v so_o beautiful_a and_o build_v with_o such_o strong_a wall_n shall_v be_v liable_a to_o shake_v in_o that_o manner_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o little_a tree_n new_o plant_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o open_a field_n m._n there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o mystery_n in_o that_o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n p._n thou_o must_v understand_v that_o this_o hall_n be_v uphold_v by_o a_o multitude_n of_o friar_n and_o priest_n who_o kneel_v with_o their_o hand_n upon_o their_o knee_n bear_v it_o upon_o their_o back_n and_o they_o begin_v already_o to_o put_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o ground_n which_o make_v they_o appear_v more_o like_a beast_n than_o man_n and_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o observe_v it_o without_o my_o kneel_v i_o make_v no_o bone_n of_o it_o to_o satisfy_v my_o curiosity_n it_o be_v very_o pleasant_a to_o i_o to_o observe_v the_o posture_n of_o those_o wretched_a friar_n for_o some_o of_o they_o knock_v their_o nose_n to_o the_o ground_n and_o other_o endeavour_v to_o bear_v themselves_o up_o and_o other_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o lie_v flat_o down_o to_o leave_v all_o the_o weight_n upon_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o fellow_n other_o curse_v those_o who_o have_v plant_v they_o to_o bear_v up_o that_o build_n on_o the_o backside_n there_o be_v a_o multitude_n of_o person_n heave_v with_o their_o shoulder_n against_o the_o wall_n of_o this_o hall_n strive_v to_o throw_v down_o this_o build_n but_o that_o which_o import_v most_o be_v that_o they_o do_v it_o with_o so_o great_a delight_n and_o force_n that_o their_o sweat_n run_v down_o all_o over_o their_o face_n be_v amaze_v at_o this_o i_o ask_v my_o friend_n of_o it_o who_o inform_v i_o thus_o those_o which_o thou_o see_v uphold_v this_o fabric_n be_v the_o divine_n and_o

free_v be_v nail_v there_o by_o their_o own_o fault_n at_o first_o they_o bear_v it_o all_o upon_o their_o head_n stand_v upright_o but_o afterward_o be_v oppress_v with_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o

the_o build_n a_o great_a while_n until_o their_o strength_n fail_v they_o and_o then_o they_o bow_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n as_o you_o see_v they_o those_o other_o who_o stand_v in_o a_o posture_n to_o throw_v down_o all_o this_o pile_n into_o ruin_n be_v the_o doctor_n and_o divine_n of_o the_o contrary_a religion_n who_o labour_v stout_o for_o the_o destruction_n of_o this_o fabric_n and_o

at_o the_o four_o corner_n of_o the_o hall_n four_o prince_n who_o be_v stretch_v their_o wit_n to_o prop_v it_o up_o which_o be_v it_o that_o keep_v it_o upright_o for_o still_o as_o the_o other_o

the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o the_o king_n of_o poland_n at_o three_o corner_n and_o at_o the_o four_o many_o catholic_n prince_n join_v together_o as_o well_o germane_a as_o italian_n but_o yet_o the_o great_a support_n be_v that_o which_o be_v give_v by_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n m._n i_o have_v ever_o hear_v that_o france_n and_o the_o republic_n of_o venice_n have_v bring_v a_o great_a many_o prop_n to_o hold_v up_o the_o vatican_n how_o come_v it_o then_o that_o you_o say_v nothing_o here_o of_o they_o p._n soft_o you_o do_v not_o give_v i_o time_n to_o tell_v all_o this_o will_v come_v after_o but_o since_o thou_o be_v in_o such_o haste_n to_o know_v it_o i_o will_v tell_v thou_o that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o republic_n of_o venice_n defend_v the_o vatican_n as_o thou_o say_v with_o policy_n that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o moderation_n and_o although_o some_o age_n past_o these_o two_o potentate_n without_o consider_v of_o the_o infinite_a charge_n and_o the_o hazard_n they_o put_v their_o own_o state_n to_o run_v furious_o to_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o pope_n when_o they_o see_v they_o oppress_v either_o with_o the_o ambition_n of_o prince_n or_o the_o force_n of_o heresy_n yet_o their_o principal_a end_n be_v not_o to_o help_v the_o pope_n to_o grow_v so_o proud_a be_v wise_a enough_o to_o foresee_v that_o which_o afterward_o come_v to_o pass_v whilst_o these_o good_a pope_n grow_v great_a not_o to_o say_v fat_a by_o the_o protection_n of_o these_o two_o monarchy_n spurn_v at_o the_o obligation_n and_o like_a mule_n kick_v at_o those_o who_o bring_v they_o their_o provender_n but_o only_a to_o gain_v themselves_o a_o name_n of_o piety_n and_o zeal_n towards_o religion_n with_o the_o people_n so_o that_o from_o that_o time_n they_o have_v go_v with_o leaden_a heel_n to_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o i_o see_v they_o in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o hall_n which_o i_o have_v describe_v to_o thou_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o with_o their_o prop_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o i_o observe_v it_o be_v their_o policy_n to_o see_v the_o place_n attach_v but_o not_o conquer_v they_o be_v please_v to_o see_v it_o tremble_v and_o shake_v but_o not_o to_o be_v precipitate_v or_o cast_v down_o and_o therefore_o they_o incite_v the_o combatant_n to_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o when_o they_o see_v the_o victory_n incline_v to_o they_o they_o immediate_o set_v to_o their_o prop_n not_o have_v the_o heart_n to_o see_v the_o place_n throw_v down_o m._n now_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o place_n be_v the_o habitation_n of_o the_o pope_n those_o particular_n which_o thou_o relate_v so_o clear_o manifest_v it_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o gross_a simplicity_n to_o question_v it_o p._n there_o be_v no_o great_a wit_n require_v to_o conjecture_v it_o i_o present_o imagine_v it_o before_o the_o good_a man_n tell_v i_o any_o thing_n of_o it_o and_o be_v immediate_o confirm_v in_o my_o opinion_n m._n why_o then_o do_v not_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o those_o other_o prince_n which_o strive_v so_o much_o to_o uphold_v that_o place_n arm_v themselves_o instant_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o enemy_n it_o be_v ever_o better_a to_o subdue_v a_o enemy_n before_o they_o have_v have_v any_o success_n than_o to_o drive_v they_o out_o again_o when_o they_o have_v get_v any_o foot_n p._n it_o be_v certain_a the_o spaniard_n and_o the_o emperor_n will_v have_v disturb_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o turn_v it_o up-side_n down_o as_o they_o have_v often_o do_v with_o their_o violent_a remedy_n if_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o venetian_a republic_n have_v not_o hinder_v they_o but_o those_o two_o great_a power_n judge_v the_o thing_n of_o religion_n according_a to_o policy_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o other_o prince_n judge_v of_o matter_n of_o policy_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o religion_n for_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o republic_n of_o venice_n know_v very_o well_o that_o if_o the_o heretic_n have_v not_o mortify_v the_o pope_n and_o his_o ecclesiastic_n the_o ecclesiastic_n and_o the_o pope_n will_v have_v be_v heretic_n against_o the_o prince_n and_o therefore_o they_o often_o help_v the_o protestant_n at_o a_o pinch_n not_o that_o they_o will_v defend_v their_o religion_n but_o that_o they_o may_v with_o their_o religion_n mortify_v the_o pope_n and_o by_o consequence_n be_v more_o humble_v to_o the_o catholic_n prince_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v say_v i_o ever_o receive_v so_o much_o pleasure_n in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n as_o when_o i_o stay_v in_o the_o outpart_n of_o this_o pontificial_a seat_n for_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o the_o emperor_n who_o uphold_v now_o and_o then_o give_v a_o kick_n to_o those_o adversary_n that_o seek_v to_o shake_v it_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o republic_n of_o venice_n when_o they_o see_v it_o interpose_v so_o that_o they_o put_v off_o most_o of_o the_o
