to_o be_v defraud_v of_o thing_n necessary_a or_o to_o be_v hold_v to_o too_o hard_a meat_n but_o they_o have_v need_v rather_o that_o such_o usurer_n as_o lie_v lurk_v among_o they_o and_o also_o the_o public_a prison_n shall_v be_v inquire_v into_o and_o visit_v as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o there_o may_v also_o be_v erect_v some_o seminary_n for_o seaman_n to_o which_o may_v be_v yearly_o

truth_n and_o that_o have_v be_v confirm_v by_o long_a experience_n that_o he_o that_o can_v make_v himself_o master_n of_o the_o sea_n shall_v give_v law_n to_o the_o continent_n and_o command_v it_o

invite_v into_o italy_n can_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a course_n therefore_o for_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n to_o be_v in_o league_n with_o his_o neighbour_n the_o

to_o naples_n and_o there_o may_v some_o of_o they_o also_o be_v send_v abroad_o as_o far_o as_o the_o west-indies_n that_o so_o serve_v he_o abroad_o in_o his_o war_n they_o may_v at_o length_n be_v

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 less_o to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o other_o unless_o it_o be_v by_o chance_n and_o by_o take_v some_o extraordinary_a advantage_n as_o the_o venetian_n do_v heretofore_o at_o what_o time_n 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 if_o 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 pope_n shall_v take_v up_o arm_n against_o any_o party_n or_o against_o any_o commonwealth_n in_o italy_n he_o will_v present_o prove_v the_o conqueror_n by_o have_v recourse_n immediate_o to_o his_o wont_a help_n such_o as_o be_v his_o giving_z out_o indulgence_n against_o it_o and_o his_o absolve_v the_o subject_n from_o the_o oath_n they_o have_v take_v to_o be_v true_a to_o the_o same_o and_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 master_n 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 just_a and_o also_o free_a from_o ambition_n and_o so_o the_o fit_a to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o if_o not_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o any_o new_a dominion_n yet_o certain_o for_o the_o keep_n of_o what_o 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 syria_n 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 time_n make_v himself_o
