A32922	Thomas Campanella, an Italian friar and second Machiavel, his advice to the King of Spain for attaining the universal monarchy of the world particularly concerning England, Scotland and Ireland, how to raise division between king and Parliament, to alter the government from a kingdome to a commonwealth, thereby embroiling England in civil war to divert the English from disturbing the Spaniard in bringing the Indian treasure into Spain : also for reducing Holland by procuring war betwixt England, Holland, and other sea-faring countries ... / translated into English by Ed.

they_o may_v at_o length_n be_v all_o destroy_v and_o certain_o shall_v this_o people_n but_o keep_v at_o home_n and_o not_o go_v so_o much_o abroad_o to_o war_n as_o they_o do_v but_o shall_v unite_v their_o force_n together_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a easy_a matter_n for_o they_o to_o subdue_v all_o italy_n but_o now_o while_o that_o they_o serve_v some_o of_o they_o under_o this_o prince_n and_o some_o under_o that_o in_o their_o war_n there_o be_v no_o great_a reason_n to_o fear_v any_o such_o thing_n of_o they_o however_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a good_a way_n to_o divide_v they_o as_o we_o have_v show_v and_o to_o send_v they_o abroad_o several_a way_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o the_o italian_n be_v wont_a to_o threaten_v the_o spaniard_n with_o be_v that_o perhaps_o they_o may_v enter_v into_o a_o league_n with_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o king_n of_o france_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o spain_n but_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o also_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n may_v easy_o elude_v because_o no_o one_o of_o they_o dare_v do_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o king_n of_o france_n as_o be_v not_o able_a of_o himself_o to_o defend_v himself_o much_o

the_o pope_n be_v at_o war_n with_o the_o emperor_n and_o when_o the_o transalpines_n make_v bold_a to_o march_v over_o into_o italy_n and_o therefore_o i●_n so_o be_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v but_o the_o pope_n on_o his_o side_n he_o have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o to_o fear_v the_o prince_n of_o italy_n neither_o indeed_o be_v there_o any_o change_n make_v in_o any_o state_n or_o dominion_n in_o italy_n without_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o pope_n alone_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o mutation_n that_o have_v happen_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o naples_n and_o in_o case_n the_o

by_o call_v in_o other_o to_o his_o assistance_n as_o pope_n julius_n the_o second_o do_v at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o excommunicate_v the_o venetian_n at_o which_o time_n they_o be_v utter_o crush_v by_o he_o now_o my_o counsel_n to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v that_o he_o will_v yield_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v have_v and_o that_o he_o will_v give_v his_o command_n abroad_o as_o constantine_n the_o emperor_n heretofore_o do_v namely_o that_o the_o pope_n shall_v have_v supreme_a authority_n in_o last_o appeal_n and_o so_o likewise_o that_o two_o bishop_n with_o the_o king_n who_o then_o hold_v the_o place_n of_o a_o clergy_n man_n be_v judge_n in_o all_o cause_n that_o shall_v be_v devolve_v unto_o they_o by_o way_n of_o last_o appeal_n and_o let_v it_o be_v agree_v upon_o betwixt_o he_o and_o the_o pope_n that_o what_o prince_n soever_o shall_v refuse_v to_o submit_v hereto_o they_o shall_v be_v deprive_v by_o their_o authority_n for_o if_o some_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n or_o indeed_o if_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v fall_v off_o from_o the_o pope_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n who_o be_v the_o vindicater_v of_o the_o pontifical_a authority_n be_v assist_v by_o croisado_n and_o other_o aide_n from_o the_o pope_n will_v by_o degree_n ruin_v they_o all_o one_o after_o another_o or_o else_o bring_v they_o in_o subjection_n under_o himself_o and_o thus_o while_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o pope_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v both_o his_o affection_n sure_o unite_v to_o he_o and_o his_o power_n assist_v he_o and_o he_o shall_v withal_o make_v himself_o ma●ter_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n dominion_n and_o this_o may_v possible_o hereafter_o come_v to_o pass_v although_o as_o matter_n now_o stand_v all_o that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v be_v to_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o keep_v these_o prince_n at_o difference_n among_o themselves_o and_o to_o make_v either_o the_o duke_n of_o parma_n or_o some_o other_o of_o they_o sure_a to_o he_o and_o then_o he_o need_v care_n but_o little_a for_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n let_v he_o also_o give_v the_o venetian_n the_o tittle_n of_o be_v the_o father_n of_o italy_n and_o let_v he_o desire_v of_o they_o the_o favour_n to_o have_v some_o of_o the_o principal_a of_o they_o send_v to_o he_o who_o he_o may_v employ_v as_o judge_n in_o the_o netherlands_o because_o that_o this_o nation_n do_v more_o willing_o admit_v of_o italian_n than_o spaniard_n and_o of_o all_o italian_n of_o the_o venetian_a rather_o than_o any_o other_o and_o upon_o these_o venetian_n so_o employ_v by_o he_o let_v he_o confer_v the_o dignity_n of_o baron_n and_o see_v that_o it_o be_v know_v to_o every_o man_n that_o the_o venetian_n be_v both_o very_a

be_v already_o get_v let_v the_o king_n so_o order_v the_o matter_n as_o that_o the_o hollander_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o desire_v law_n to_o be_v prescribe_v they_o by_o the_o venetian_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v say_v more_o hereafter_o and_o if_o by_o these_o art_n he_o can_v so_o far_o prevail_v with_o they_o as_o to_o get_v they_o to_o give_v over_o their_o travel_v to_o alexandria_n and_o ●yria_fw-la to_o traffic_v there_o and_o to_o take_v up_o a_o trade_n of_o merchandise_n with_o those_o in_o the_o west-indies_n as_o the_o portuguez_n have_v do_v he_o will_v by_o this_o mean_n in_o

it_o will_v be_v his_o best_a course_n to_o provide_v himself_o of_o such_o a_o navy_n as_o i_o speak_v of_o before_o and_o he_o shall_v likewise_o do_v well_o to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o archduke_n of_o carinthia_n and_o his_o neighbour_n the_o grison_n in_o his_o war_n by_o this_o mean_n to_o fright_v the_o venetian_n the_o more_o and_o beside_o let_v he_o give_v entertainment_n to_o all_o

medicis_n may_v in_o these_o our_o time_n strike_v no_o small_a terror_n into_o the_o great_a duke_n of_o florence_n if_o therefore_o the_o king_n will_v have_v these_o prince_n of_o italy_n to_o
