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. Chilmead, and published for awakening the English to prevent the approaching ruine of their nation ; with an admonitorie preface by William Prynne, of Lincolnes-Inne, Esquire.; De monarchia Hispanica dicursus.

the_o prince_n of_o italy_n and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o union_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n i_o say_v moreover_o that_o he_o can_v suffer_v any_o notable_a overthrow_n ●nlesse_a it_o be_v by_o some_o very_a potent_a prince_n such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o great_a turk_n be_v who_o yet_o lie_v so_o very_o far_o remote_a from_o he_o as_o alexander_n the_o great_a of_o old_a do_v from_o

last_a will_v utter_o confound_v the_o turk_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o although_o king_n philip_n kingdom_n lie_v scatter_v far_o and_o near_o yet_o his_o enemy_n also_o lie_v far_o asunder_o one_o from_o another_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o his_o emulator_n the_o italian_n tuscan_n and_o venetian_n will_v never_o enter_v into_o a_o combination_n against_o he_o unless_o he_o first_o give_v they_o some_o evident_a cause_n and_o wrong_v they_o very_o much_o neither_o indeed_o will_v the_o pope_n ever_o suffer_v any_o act_n of_o hostility_n to_o be_v do_v against_o his_o catholic_n majesty_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v also_o most_o certain_a that_o the_o catholic_n prince_n both_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o the_o heretic_n and_o also_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n will_v never_o attempt_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o the_o heretic_n be_v at_o very_o great_a variance_n also_o among_o themselves_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n germany_n be_v divide_v into_o several_a small_a republic_n can_v do_v he_o any_o harm_n at_o all_o and_o it_o be_v beside_o part_n of_o it_o make_v subject_a to_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n and_o the_o archduke_n

the_o low_a germany_n also_o be_v divide_v into_o more_o commonwealth_n than_o the_o other_o all_o which_o bear_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n though_o it_o be_v only_o to_o defend_v

have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o to_o fear_v that_o these_o shall_v ever_o all_o join_v together_o against_o he_o and_o beside_o the_o king_n retain_v a_o great_a part_n of_o these_o nation_n in_o pay_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n keep_v they_o his_o friend_n and_o then_o the_o king_n of_o poland_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o transylvania_n be_v ally_v to_o he_o by_o marriage_n and_o so_o be_v in_o

by_o reason_n of_o their_o be_v of_o different_a religion_n can_v never_o agree_v together_o now_o although_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n can_v as_o yet_o subdue_v the_o king_n of_o france_n yet_o it_o

beside_o there_o be_v a_o division_n break_v out_o in_o france_n betwixt_o the_o catholic_n and_o the_o heretic_n and_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n of_o all_o there_o be_v in_o that_o kingdom_n many_o potent_a bishop_n who_o will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n see_v spain_n ruin_v and_o last_o our_o king_n subject_n do_v not_o come_v into_o the_o field_n with_o lance_n sword_n and_o horse_n as_o

then_o for_o the_o set_n upon_o a_o enemy_n in_o a_o open_a field_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o french_a be_v able_a indeed_o to_o resist_v all_o the_o spaniard_n attempt_n but_o they_o can_v overcome_v they_o for_o in_o this_o case_n the_o very_a prince_n and_o state_n of_o italy_n who_o have_v to_o this_o day_n always_o hold_v with_o the_o french_a will_v go_v over_o to_o the_o

neither_o do_v the_o king_n of_o france_n ever_o pass_v over_o into_o italy_n unless_o when_o he_o be_v assist_v by_o the_o pope_n as_o the_o expedition_n of_o charles_n of_o anjou_n testify_v or_o

hardly_o be_v do_v again_o for_o the_o italian_n be_v now_o afraid_a that_o they_o will_v bring_v in_o a_o new_a religion_n with_o they_o and_o beside_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n that_o that_o
