success_n by_o his_o folly_n the_o application_n of_o which_o story_n i_o shall_v leave_v for_o you_o to_o make_v v._o there_o be_v four_o several_a argument_n which_o many_o time_n prevail_v with_o prince_n to_o be_v incredulous_a of_o all_o pretend_a conspiracy_n against_o themselves_o the_o first_o be_v draw_v from_o their_o be_v in_o or_o make_v privy_a themselves_o to_o part_v of_o the_o plot_n but_o not_o the_o whole_a the_o second_o from_o their_o own_o good_a nature_n and_o clemency_n the_o three_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o evidence_n and_o the_o four_o from_o the_o nature_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o pretend_a conspiration_n to_o begin_v then_o with_o the_o first_o when_o the_o prince_n have_v be_v make_v acquaint_v with_o the_o design_n of_o introduce_v a_o new_a government_n or_o new_a religion_n but_o not_o with_o the_o design_n of_o take_v away_o his_o own_o life_n this_o sometime_o have_v prevail_v with_o he_o not_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o same_o party_n with_o who_o he_o himself_o be_v in_o a_o conspiracy_n shall_v have_v any_o such_o other_o plot_n against_o his_o life_n but_o this_o i_o hope_n be_v not_o our_o case_n for_o that_o no_o religion_n or_o government_n can_v be_v so_o much_o for_o his_o majesty_n advantage_n as_o that_o which_o be_v establish_v among_o we_o since_o in_o popery_n although_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v make_v absolute_a over_o his_o subject_n yet_o his_o slavery_n to_o the_o pope_n will_v be_v so_o great_a that_o as_o well_o his_o liberty_n as_o his_o revenue_n will_v be_v much_o less_o than_o now_o for_o beside_o the_o vast_a sum_n of_o money_n that_o will_v then_o go_v from_o the_o exchequer_n to_o the_o church_n i_o dare_v bold_o affirm_v that_o have_v his_o majesty_n be_v never_o so_o absolute_a he_o can_v not_o in_o this_o time_n have_v squeeze_v more_o money_n from_o the_o subject_a than_o he_o have_v already_o receive_v in_o tax_n since_o his_o come_n in_o and_o that_o must_v have_v be_v do_v by_o a_o stand_a army_n which_o will_v make_v he_o odious_a and_o eat_v up_o half_a his_o profit_n it_o be_v policy_n in_o the_o prince_n not_o to_o take_v away_o all_o at_o one_o but_o to_o leave_v a_o nest-egg_n if_o he_o design_v they_o shall_v lay_v again_o but_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o ever_o read_v our_o chronicle_n will_v find_v that_o no_o schoolboy_n have_v be_v great_a slave_n to_o their_o master_n than_o many_o of_o our_o english_a king_n be_v to_o the_o pope_n and_o those_o who_o be_v above_o his_o discipline_n the_o romish_a church_n ever_o find_v some_o way_n or_o other_o to_o cut_v he_o off_o either_o by_o set_v his_o own_o people_n against_o he_o as_o they_o do_v by_o king_n john_n or_o by_o some_o infallible_a catholic_n poison_n or_o by_o some_o bloody_a godfrey_n dagger_n king_n edgar_z for_o his_o incontinency_n be_v enjoin_v by_o dunstan_n abbot_n of_o glassenbury_n not_o to_o wear_v his_o crown_n for_o seven_o year_n to_o which_o he_o be_v force_v to_o submit_v king_n henry_n ii_o to_o expiate_v the_o murder_n of_o thomas_n becket_n commit_v by_o his_o country_n be_v force_v to_o walk_v barefooted_a three_o mile_n to_o visit_v his_o shrine_n and_o then_o to_o receive_v fourscore_o lash_n upon_o his_o bare_a back_n from_o the_o monk_n king_n john_n for_o oppose_a pope_n innocent_a iii_o be_v after_o interdict_v the_o realm_n for_o six_o year_n and_o three_o month_n force_v to_o render_v his_o crown_n to_o pandulphus_fw-la the_o pope_n legate_n and_o take_v it_o again_o in_o fee-farm_n at_o the_o rent_n of_o a_o thousand_o mark_n yearly_a nor_o do_v this_o satisfy_v the_o popish_a malice_n for_o he_o be_v at_o last_o poison_v in_o swinsted_n abbey_n by_o one_o simon_n a_o monk_n furthermore_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n prince_n live_v not_o so_o peaceable_o as_o now_o be_v please_v to_o observe_v that_o betwixt_o the_o conquest_n and_o our_o reformation_n seven_o of_o our_o english_a king_n be_v murder_v viz._n king_n john_n richard_n i._n edward_n ii_o richard_n ii_o edward_n v._n henry_n vi_o and_o richard_n iii_o not_o to_o mention_v the_o emperor_n henry_n

raviliac_n or_o those_o many_o hundred_o example_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o i_o can_v produce_v out_o of_o other_o chronicle_n so_o that_o what_o ever_o prince_n consider_v these_o thing_n aright_o i_o think_v he_o can_v have_v no_o interest_n to_o introduce_v popery_n unless_o he_o desire_v either_o to_o be_v whip_v by_o a_o monk_n or_o stab_v or_o poison_v by_o a_o jesuit_n for_o in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o be_v the_o jesuit_n that_o govern_v and_o not_o the_o king_n vi_o the_o second_o motive_n which_o may_v incline_v a_o prince_n to_o disbelieve_v the_o report_n of_o a_o plot_n be_v from_o his_o own_o good_a nature_n and_o clemency_n which_o make_v he_o not_o expect_v any_o ill_n from_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v be_v so_o kind_a but_o this_o be_v a_o fallacious_a way_n of_o argue_v for_o a_o prince_n who_o will_v preserve_v himself_o against_o conspiracy_n be_v to_o have_v a_o eye_n rather_o upon_o those_o he_o have_v oblige_v than_o those_o he_o have_v offend_v for_o those_o that_o be_v offend_v have_v not_o such_o frequent_a opportunity_n nor_o such_o easy_a access_n to_o he_o as_o the_o other_o have_v and_o for_o their_o disposition_n it_o be_v much_o alike_o the_o desire_n of_o dominion_n be_v as_o great_a if_o not_o great_a than_o the_o desire_n of_o revenge_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o where_o any_o great_a conspiracy_n have_v be_v make_v it_o have_v be_v most_o common_o begin_v by_o such_o as_o be_v most_o familiar_a with_o the_o prince_n and_o most_o in_o his_o favour_n for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o conspiracy_n of_o perennius_fw-la against_o commodus_n plautianus_n against_o severus_n sejanus_n against_o tiberius_n all_o which_o be_v favourite_n and_o high_o oblige_v by_o their_o several_a emperor_n so_o that_o what_o ever_o prince_n trust_v too_o much_o to_o the_o friendship_n of_o his_o dear_a favourite_n
