the_o morrow_o after_o our_o marriage_n and_o monsieur_n repair_v home_o as_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o he_o will_v into_o his_o native_a country_n a_o large_a and_o better_a kingdom_n then_o by_o all_o likelihood_n either_o must_v our_o elizabeth_n go_v with_o he_o out_o of_o her_o own_o native_a country_n and_o sweet_a soil_n of_o england_n where_o she_o be_v queen_n as_o possessor_n and_o inheritor_n of_o this_o imperial_a crown_n withal_o regal_a right_n dignity_n prerogative_n pray_v heminence_n privilege_n autority_n and_o iurediction_n of_o this_o kingly_a office_n and_o have_v the_o kingrike_n in_o she_o own_o person_n into_o a_o foreign_a kingdom_n where_o her_o writ_n do_v not_o run_v &_o shall_v be_v but_o in_o a_o borrow_v majesty_n as_o the_o moon_n to_o the_o son_n shine_v by_o night_n as_o other_o king_n wife_n and_o so_o she_o that_o have_v rule_v all_o this_o while_n here_o shall_v be_v there_o over_o rule_v in_o a_o strange_a land_n by_o some_o belledame_n not_o without_o awe_n perhaps_o of_o a_o sister_n in_o la_o and_o we_o her_o poor_a subject_n that_o have_v be_v govern_v hitherto_o by_o a_o natural_a mother_n shall_v be_v overlook_v at_o home_n by_o some_o cruel_a and_o proud_a governor_n or_o else_o must_v she_o tarry_v here_o without_o comfort_n of_o her_o husband_n see_v herself_o despise_v or_o not_o wifelike_o esteem_v and_o as_o a_o eclipse_a son_n diminish_v in_o sovereignty_n have_v such_o perhaps_o appoint_v to_o serve_v she_o and_o be_v at_o her_o commandment_n after_o the_o french_a phrase_n which_o in_o plain_n english_a will_v govern_v she_o and_o her_o state_n in_o this_o great_a matter_n what_o a_o illude_v answer_n be_v it_o again_o by_o the_o particular_a example_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n to_o put_v away_o this_o k._n reason_n ground_v upon_o these_o two_o general_a rule_n the_o first_o be_v that_o a_o stranger_n mighty_a king_n bring_v into_o a_o realm_n to_o aid_v they_o as_o aid_n be_v the_o turk_n and_o his_o saracen_n or_o upon_o any_o light_a occasion_n will_v hardly_o be_v get_v out_o again_o the_o second_o a_o strange_a king_n draw_v in_o by_o our_o sin_n and_o send_v by_o god_n justice_n for_o our_o punishment_n be_v not_o ride_v without_o god_n extraordinary_a help_n now_o sir_n because_o we_o be_v once_o happy_o dispatch_v of_o spain_n therefore_o we_o shall_v once_o again_o commit_v this_o gross_a folly_n and_o contemn_v that_o general_a rule_n of_o policy_n and_o because_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n do_v once_o deliver_v we_o from_o spain_n therefore_o we_o will_v tempt_v he_o again_o by_o deliver_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o france_n alas_o for_o these_o man_n if_o king_n philip_n have_v never_o marry_v queen_n mary_n and_o if_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v to_o dispute_v xxvij_o year_n ago_o then_o have_v they_o have_v no_o one_o reason_n for_o their_o side_n nor_o no_o answer_n to_o escape_v any_o of_o our_o argument_n and_o this_o absurd_a manner_n of_o reason_v be_v very_a macciavelian_a logic_n by_o particular_a example_n thus_o to_o govern_v kingdom_n and_o to_o set_v down_o general_a rule_n for_o his_o prince_n whereas_o particular_n shall_v be_v warrant_v by_o general_n but_o there_o master_v wrest_v his_o ungracious_a wit_n ever_o to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o present_a state_n and_o these_o foolish_a scholar_n put_v forth_o their_o gross_a conceit_n to_o the_o overthrow_v of_o this_o present_a in_o hope_n of_o i_o wot_n not_o what_o futur_v common_a wealth_n of_o their_o own_o head_n some_o subtlety_n there_o be_v also_o in_o this_o spanish_a answer_n that_o when_o we_o be_v to_o deliberate_v of_o france_n which_o be_v the_o more_o never_o and_o more_o ancient_a therefore_o more_o dangerous_a enemy_n to_o annoy_v we_o with_o his_o force_n and_o to_o hold_v we_o if_o he_o once_o have_v we_o they_o bring_v we_o in_o example_n spain_n a_o more_o remote_a potentate_n &_o a_o ancient_a friend_n one_o that_o be_v at_o that_o time_n of_o one_o religion_n with_o this_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o not_o so_o prick_v to_o hasten_v some_o change_n in_o our_o state_n as_o this_o man_n who_o be_v lead_v by_o antichrist_n must_v not_o endure_v with_o any_o patience_n that_o state_n where_o christ_n be_v moreover_o our_o dispofition_n more_o ready_a to_o war_v with_o france_n then_o with_o spain_n be_v help_v by_o more_o continual_a occasion_n give_v of_o both_o side_n by_o more_o conveniency_n of_o mean_n to_o perform_v sudden_o which_o will_v make_v they_o let_v no_o opportunity_n slip_v that_o may_v bring_v so_o come_v bersome_a a_o neighbour_n under_o they_o as_o we_o be_v and_o better_a may_v they_o do_v it_o now_o then_o may_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n then_o for_o they_o be_v spain_n at_o war_n with_o france_n neither_o be_v it_o like_o that_o france_n will_v have_v be_v hold_v by_o any_o friendship_n while_o he_o shall_v have_v suffer_v a_o more_o pnissant_a neighbour_n set_v his_o foot_n here_o who_o he_o may_v so_o easy_o let_v by_o help_a we_o but_o now_o be_v there_o no_o enemity_n between_o france_n and_o spain_n to_o let_v this_o practice_n they_o be_v of_o kin_n by_o the_o flesh_n and_o by_o their_o religion_n and_o the_o holy_a league_n tie_v they_o together_o in_o that_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v faggotstiks_n and_o in_o truth_n spain_n be_v so_o far_o and_o france_n so_o never_o france_n have_v great_a advantage_n in_o this_o comparison_n and_o can_v be_v so_o let_v of_o spain_n as_o spain_n may_v be_v by_o he_o these_o danger_n wherein_o this_o dangerous_a pactise_n of_o marriage_n wrap_v queen_n elisabeth_n in_o hyrlyfe_n time_n and_o her_o england_n together_o alike_o will_n i_o doubt_v not_o move_v those_o in_o authority_n to_o avoid_v they_o and_o other_o that_o be_v private_a to_o pray_v against_o they_o most_o servant_o but_o these_o calamity_n alas_o end_v not_o with_o this_o age_n for_o where_o as_o these_o persuader_n lay_v for_o a_o chief_a ground_n their_o certain_a expect_v issue_n of_o her_o majesty_n body_n upon_o this_o match_n and_o the_o commodity_n thereof_o ensue_v thereby_o persuade_v this_o strange_a conceit_n i_o will_v at_o once_o dispatch_v that_o reason_n that_o may_v be_v object_v against_o i_o &_o make_v it_o a_o chief_a argument_n for_o i_o esteem_v it_o my_o second_o politic_a reason_n to_o dissuade_v the_o french_a marriage_n especial_o if_o it_o may_v please_v her_o majesty_n to_o call_v her_o faithful_a wise_a physician_n and_o to_o adjure_v they_o by_o their_o conscience_n towards_o god_n their_o loyalty_n to_o she_o and_o faith_n to_o the_o whole_a land_n to_o say_v their_o knowledge_n simple_o without_o respect_n of_o please_a or_o displease_v any_o and_o that_o they_o consider_v it_o also_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o a_o realm_n and_o of_o a_o prince_n how_o exceed_o dangerous_a they_o find_v it_o by_o their_o learning_n for_o her_o majesty_n at_o these_o year_n to_o have_v her_o first_o child_n yea_o how_o fearful_a the_o expectation_n of_o death_n be_v to_o mother_n and_o child_n i_o fear_v to_o say_v what_o will_v be_v their_o answer_n and_o i_o humble_o beseech_v her_o majesty_n to_o inform_v hyrselfe_n thorough_o even_o in_o her_o love_n to_o the_o queen_n whole_a land_n which_o hold_v dear_a her_o life_n and_o peace_n and_o which_o as_o it_o have_v hitherto_o deutiful_o seek_v her_o marriage_n while_o hope_v of_o issue_n be_v desire_v it_o as_o the_o chief_a common_a wealth_n good_a and_o withal_o that_o fear_n god_n english_a or_o stranger_n will_v have_v rejoice_v to_o see_v that_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n may_v have_v be_v draw_v forth_o as_o i_o may_v say_v in_o her_o faithful_a line_n yet_o dare_v we_o not_o now_o otherwise_o crave_v it_o but_o so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v by_o such_o afather_n as_o have_v a_o sound_a body_n and_o holy_a soul_n and_o yet_o not_o they_o neither_o unless_o she_o may_v first_o find_v it_o to_o stand_v with_o her_o life_n and_o safety_n and_o when_o i_o think_v more_o earnest_o of_o this_o matter_n i_o think_v it_o must_v needs_o come_v first_o of_o a_o very_a french_a love_n to_o our_o queen_n and_o land_n to_o seek_v this_o marriage_n even_o now_o so_o eager_o at_o the_o uttermost_a time_n of_o hope_n to_o have_v issue_n and_o at_o the_o very_a point_n of_o most_o note_n danger_n to_o her_o majesty_n for_o childbearing_n whereby_o they_o think_v if_o her_o majesty_n have_v issue_n to_o see_v either_o the_o mother_n die_v in_o childbedd_n which_o the_o lord_n forbid_v and_o the_o land_n leave_v again_o as_o they_o have_v be_v to_o a_o infant_n or_o else_o to_o see_v both_o mother_n and_o child_n put_v in_o a_o grave_n and_o so_o the_o land_n leave_v a_o spoil_n to_o foreign_a invasion_n and_o as_o a_o stack_n of_o wood_n to_o civil_a war_n all_o be_v one_o to_o
