the_o league_n the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n likewise_o when_o every_o body_n shall_v come_v to_o reap_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o labour_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o charge_n his_o conclusion_n

they_o have_v with_o our_o king_n and_o the_o bond_n that_o knit_v they_o together_o in_o their_o country_n notwithstanding_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o for_o money_n they_o will_v find_v force_n not_o general_o unto_o the_o league_n but_o particular_o to_o the_o duke_n of_o guise_n yet_o have_v they_o after_o make_v some_o difficulty_n thereof_o of_o purpose_n have_v i_o show_v the_o intent_n of_o each_o partaker_n of_o the_o league_n to_o prove_v that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v some_o particular_a meaning_n disagree_v one_o from_o another_o to_o the_o end_n that_o thereby_o i_o may_v show_v that_o whatsoever_o good_a intelligence_n they_o have_v one_o with_o another_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a for_o we_o to_o have_v a_o better_a all_o with_o one_o course_n will_v i_o seek_v out_o what_o be_v their_o mean_n and_o their_o force_n in_o the_o which_o i_o hope_v to_o find_v so_o many_o want_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o our_o

prince_n of_o germany_n to_o be_v for_o although_o undoubted_o they_o be_v of_o great_a power_n yet_o the_o protestant_n their_o neighbour_n be_v of_o such_o force_n as_o every_o man_n do_v know_v to_o wit_n the_o king_n of_o denmark_n the_o electour_n palatin_n of_o saxony_n and_o brandenbourgh_n the_o landgrave_n of_o hessia_n and_o many_o other_o great_a prince_n and_o lord_n so_o that_o if_o they_o will_v the_o other_o dare_v not_o seem_v to_o have_v enterprise_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o i_o have_v show_v what_o the_o force_n of_o the_o canton_n of_o zuitzerland_n be_v and_o how_o the_o general_a league_n may_v have_v use_n of_o they_o as_o for_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n as_o our_o near_a neighbour_n be_v the_o most_o to_o be_v fear_v of_o they_o all_o but_o first_o it_o be_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n of_o force_n that_o may_v come_v from_o he_o next_o he_o rather_o rest_v upon_o sure_a possibility_n then_o upon_o uncerteine_a one_o his_o

their_o father_n himself_o train_v up_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o affair_n and_o almost_o put_v in_o full_a possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n will_v hardly_o be_v content_a to_o be_v marry_v for_o a_o piece_n of_o money_n and_o leave_v such_o great_a riches_n unto_o their_o young_a brother_n sickly_a and_o as_o they_o say_v a_o idiot_n so_o that_o i_o think_v this_o duke_n have_v work_n enough_o cut_v out_o already_o need_v not_o to_o busy_v himself_o much_o about_o any_o enterprise_n on_o this_o side_n of_o the_o mount_n which_o enclose_v he_o in_o on_o the_o other_o side_n beyond_o they_o he_o can_v do_v so_o little_a though_o he_o will_v and_o he_o find_v himself_o in_o a_o country_n so_o full_a of_o disadvantage_n that_o be_v of_o one_o side_n keep_v by_o the_o german_n on_o a_o other_o by_o the_o zuitzer_n on_o the_o other_o by_o the_o frenchman_n and_o on_o all_o side_n by_o the_o alps_n such_o force_n as_o he_o can_v raise_v out_o of_o his_o country_n which_o can_v be_v but_o very_o small_a can_v be_v transport_v to_o any_o place_n where_o they_o may_v perform_v any_o thing_n without_o great_a loss_n and_o difficulty_n as_o for_o his_o money_n to_o make_v good_a cheer_n at_o home_n he_o have_v enough_o but_o to_o make_v a_o great_a war_n not_o so_o the_o other_o prince_n of_o italy_n as_o the_o duke_n of_o ferrara_n of_o mantove_n of_o florence_n and_o of_o

if_o there_o be_v any_o war_n in_o italy_n betwixt_o two_o mighty_a prince_n such_o as_o be_v charles_n of_o spain_n and_o francis_n of_o france_n they_o may_v indeed_o much_o further_o his_o affair_n who_o they_o will_v assist_v if_o there_o must_v be_v a_o army_n make_v up_o by_o sea_n against_o the_o turk_n each_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v well_o be_v able_a to_o set_v forth_o a_o galley_n or_o swain_n and_o that_o be_v all_o but_o that_o they_o may_v do_v much_o in_o a_o great_a war_n either_o against_o we_o in_o france_n or_o in_o england_n or_o in_o germany_n or_o in_o flanders_n not_o so_o beside_o that_o as_o i_o have_v note_v they_o will_v never_o be_v so_o deep_a in_o the_o league_n but_o that_o they_o will_v fear_v more_o the_o increase_n of_o spain_n than_o the_o decrease_a of_o rome_n the_o duke_n of_o parma_n as_o he_o be_v duke_n of_o parma_n may_v be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o they_o but_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o command_v over_o the_o force_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n in_o the_o low_a country_n sure_o he_o be_v a_o great_a captain_n without_o doubt_n he_o have_v get_v great_a reputation_n and_o credit_n be_v it_o amongst_o the_o army_n which_o he_o command_v over_o be_v it_o among_o the_o country_n where_o he_o make_v war_n yea_o a_o credit_n by_o inheritance_n the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o mother_n government_n be_v most_o agreeable_a among_o they_o but_o withal_o he_o be_v but_o unwise_a as_o well_o as_o the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n if_o he_o have_v not_o certain_a purpose_n to_o himself_o or_o if_o he_o will_v stick_v more_o to_o vain_a possibility_n then_o to_o certainty_n for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v not_o resolve_v to_o have_v labour_v all_o this_o while_n in_o flanders_n for_o a_o other_o but_o there_o be_v a_o far_a point_n in_o this_o matter_n which_o be_v that_o as_o long_o as_o he_o shall_v make_v war_n there_o as_o lieutenant_z to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n he_o may_v do_v much_o harm_n but_o if_o once_o he_o take_v the_o way_n to_o make_v himself_o lord_n of_o it_o as_o he_o may_v easy_o in_o that_o which_o he_o hold_v after_o the_o good_a man_n death_n see_v he_o can_v only_o perform_v it_o by_o gentle_a mean_n and_o the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o people_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v any_o more_o but_o must_v needs_o withdraw_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o league_n as_o for_o the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n he_o be_v a_o great_a lord_n but_o a_o petty_a prince_n take_v away_o from_o before_o his_o eye_n the_o hope_n of_o possibility_n which_o they_o make_v he_o conceive_v in_o france_n for_o his_o son_n which_o only_o have_v bring_v he_o in_o with_o the_o league_n he_o will_v eftsoon_o take_v that_o side_n which_o may_v breed_v his_o own_o quietness_n and_o not_o seek_v any_o quarrel_n he_o be_v very_o wise_a and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v that_o our_o stir_n in_o france_n proceed_v not_o from_o he_o at_o this_o time_n notwithstanding_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o employ_v himself_o in_o this_o general_a matter_n against_o we_o but_o i_o think_v that_o in_o this_o point_n there_o rest_v this_o benefit_n viz._n as_o long_o as_o he_o shall_v hinder_v the_o grow_a up_o of_o the_o duke_n of_o guise_n his_o cousin_n as_o he_o must_v needs_o do_v for_o his_o son_n sake_n he_o do_v we_o more_o good_a then_o otherwise_o he_o can_v do_v we_o

mother_n in_o law_n he_o will_v rather_o demand_v for_o his_o son_n then_o for_o the_o other_o and_o i_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o most_o true_a principle_n that_o the_o duke_n of_o guise_n our_o capital_a adversary_n be_v already_o so_o far_o in_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o either_o be_v king_n or_o be_v undo_v altogether_o there_o be_v no_o mean_a for_o he_o between_o these_o two_o
