his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v entreat_v and_o sue_v unto_o to_o take_v that_o great_a dignity_n upon_o he_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o they_o of_o the_o low_a country_n perceive_v their_o

that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o other_o religion_n than_o his_o own_o within_o his_o realm_n by_o reason_n of_o which_o persuasion_n the_o prince_n can_v think_v that_o his_o majesty_n

that_o these_o so_o good_a christian_n will_v make_v any_o agreement_n with_o the_o heretic_n she_o speak_v those_o word_n of_o the_o prince_n to_o his_o hindrance_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v unlikely_a that_o there_o be_v any_o good_a meaning_n towards_o the_o furtherance_n of_o his_o affair_n the_o say_a earl_n beseech_v his_o majesty_n yet_o further_o to_o set_v before_o his_o eye_n what_o he_o have_v oftentimes_o tell_v he_o of_o the_o cardinal_n of_o lorreine_a namely_o that_o his_o do_n be_v so_o suspicious_a on_o all_o side_n that_o whereas_o he_o be_v in_o credit_n with_o

say_v unto_o he_o oftentimes_o namely_o that_o he_o consider_v well_o the_o mischief_n that_o have_v assail_v he_o on_o all_o side_n and_o that_o if_o he_o may_v by_o god_n grace_n once_o remedy_v

well_o see_v it_o be_v not_o to_o leave_v of_o so_o but_o to_o make_v he_o bathe_v himself_o more_o than_o before_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o poor_a subject_n to_o the_o end_n to_o hasten_v his_o

good_a peace_n in_o his_o realm_n &_o by_o cease_v to_o trouble_v his_o subject_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n final_o the_o say_a earl_n desire_v his_o majesty_n to_o bethink_v he_o of_o this_o point_n that_o although_o he_o have_v take_v all_o the_o town_n that_o be_v hold_v by_o the_o protestant_n in_o his_o realm_n yet_o shall_v he_o not_o have_v root_v out_o the_o religion_n and_o to_o
