at_o our_o entrance_n we_o can_v easy_o imagine_v that_o the_o ban_n against_o our_o most_o honour_a lord_n and_o father_n the_o execution_n of_o the_o same_o together_o with_o the_o translation_n of_o our_o electourship_n which_o be_v still_o detain_v by_o force_n may_v be_v cast_v into_o our_o way_n by_o partial_a and_o cold_a affect_a people_n but_o we_o entreat_v they_o all_o to_o spare_v their_o judgement_n and_o look_v a_o little_a backward_o upon_o the_o protestation_n and_o just_a defence_n which_o have_v be_v make_v both_o in_o public_a writing_n and_o assembly_n there_o they_o shall_v find_v the_o complaint_n of_o the_o temporal_a electour_n against_o those_o unjust_a proceed_n and_o the_o nullity_n of_o the_o same_o to_o be_v prove_v incurable_a and_o if_o needful_a it_o be_v to_o enlarge_v those_o deduction_n which_o be_v already_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o our_o say_a lord_n and_o father_n not_o long_o before_o his_o death_n cause_v his_o just_a apology_n to_o be_v draw_v in_o write_v against_o those_o violent_a proceed_n with_o a_o purpose_n to_o have_v put_v it_o out_o but_o that_o he_o fear_v occasion_n may_v have_v be_v take_v from_o thence_o to_o have_v hinder_v some_o treaty_n and_o mediation_n than_o a_o foot_n since_o it_o have_v be_v suppress_v by_o his_o untimely_a death_n which_o otherwise_o have_v it_o see_v the_o light_n will_v questionless_a have_v imprint_v better_a opinion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o those_o who_o have_v be_v choke_v with_o blind_a and_o sinister_a information_n for_o the_o present_a we_o refer_v the_o clear_n of_o those_o matter_n to_o the_o public_a book_n afore_o mention_v and_o refer_v express_o to_o ourselves_o the_o defence_n and_o vindication_n of_o our_o most_o dear_a lord_n and_o father_n honour_n by_o all_o lawful_a way_n against_o false_a and_o calumnious_a imputation_n hope_v that_o no_o live_a soul_n can_v with_o reason_n blame_v this_o duty_n in_o a_o christian_a and_o obedient_a son_n but_o in_o this_o passage_n we_o can_v conceal_v the_o inwardness_n of_o our_o grief_n to_o see_v the_o translation_n of_o our_o electoral_a right_n not_o only_o usurp_v by_o force_n of_o arm_n but_o justify_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o late_a treaty_n of_o peace_n make_v at_o prague_n the_o 30_o of_o may_v last_v under_o this_o paint_a pretext_n as_o if_o forsooth_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o in_o particular_a the_o electoral_a college_n assemble_v in_o the_o year_n 1627._o have_v find_v and_o charge_v our_o most_o dear_a lord_n and_o father_n as_o

the_o palatine_a be_v a_o young_a prince_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o counsel_n himself_o be_v seduce_v by_o other_o that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o the_o trouble_n in_o bohemia_n and_o that_o other_o who_o have_v no_o less_o offend_v his_o imperial_a majesty_n have_v be_v pardon_v wherefore_o they_o all_o beseech_v his_o majesty_n to_o overcome_v himself_o by_o his_o own_o magnanimity_n and_o to_o turn_v his_o rigour_n into_o gentleness_n whereby_o the_o palatine_a upon_o due_a deprecation_n may_v be_v admit_v to_o grace_n and_o the_o empire_n be_v refresh_v and_o
