plain_o see_v that_o it_o be_v most_o dangerous_a and_o indeed_o impossible_a to_o enter_v into_o any_o treaty_n with_o such_o a_o lord_n who_o be_v not_o of_o himself_o who_o speak_v and_o write_v peaceable_o but_o harbour_v war_n and_o bloodshed_n in_o his_o heart_n much_o less_o for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a receive_v he_o into_o the_o government_n whereof_o he_o have_v many_o way_n deprive_v himself_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o pernicious_a consequence_n that_o this_o will_v have_v bring_v with_o it_o 1_o first_o hereby_o the_o say_a treaty_n with_o spain_n will_v have_v be_v confirm_v 2_o second_o the_o state_n can_v not_o expect_v of_o such_o a_o lord_n any_o certainty_n or_o assurance_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n or_o state_n 3_o and_o three_o without_o doubt_n the_o state_n must_v have_v pay_v not_o only_o their_o own_o but_o their_o enemy_n force_n which_o have_v exercise_v so_o many_o cruelty_n against_o they_o and_o their_o good_a friend_n and_o have_v be_v constrain_v to_o join_v with_o their_o enemy_n and_o march_v against_o their_o own_o friend_n which_o profess_v their_o own_o religion_n 4_o four_o it_o will_v give_v occasion_n to_o our_o enemy_n to_o blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o to_o say_v alas_o where_o be_v now_o our_o god_n 5_o and_o fifthly_o it_o come_v to_o that_o that_o other_o potentate_n and_o prince_n of_o the_o religion_n have_v never_o give_v any_o assistance_n to_o the_o say_a state_n if_o they_o have_v find_v but_o the_o least_o inclination_n in_o they_o to_o enter_v into_o treaty_n with_o the_o archduke_n ferdinand_n and_o other_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a it_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o the_o archduke_n ferdinand_n be_v never_o elect_v king_n of_o bohemia_n by_o the_o ordinary_a course_n and_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v deprive_v himself_o and_o have_v forfeit_v both_o the_o acceptation_n and_o the_o coronation_n which_o be_v conditional_o confer_v upon_o he_o as_o before_o by_o not_o observe_v either_o his_o letter_n of_o assurance_n or_o oath_n as_o also_o see_v he_o have_v exercise_v manifest_a tyranny_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o pass_v contract_n with_o the_o house_n of_o spain_n without_o the_o consent_n or_o knowledge_n of_o the_o state_n for_o these_o reason_n they_o understand_v and_o find_v themselves_o to_o be_v free_a from_o he_o and_o not_o any_o way_n tie_v unto_o he_o in_o what_o kind_n soever_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n agreeable_a both_o to_o divine_a and_o humane_a right_n with_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o almighty_a they_o have_v take_v the_o freedom_n to_o elect_a another_o king_n as_o shall_v be_v more_o full_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n in_o a_o manifestation_n hereafter_o to_o be_v publish_v a_o proposition_n make_v by_o the_o state_n of_o bohemia_n in_o their_o assembly_n at_o pragve_n upon_o the_o election_n of_o a_o king_n the_o 16._o of_o august_n 1619._o be_v the_o birthday_n of_o the_o prince_n elector_n palatine_n albeit_o the_o nomination_n of_o a_o king_n of_o bohemia_n require_v a_o mature_a counsel_n and_o deliberation_n which_o ought_v to_o precede_v the_o nomination_n in_o this_o point_n nevertheless_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o difficulty_n as_o in_o the_o reject_v of_o a_o king_n which_o give_v a_o beginning_n to_o this_o and_o stand_v in_o need_n both_o of_o a_o good_a justification_n and_o of_o a_o great_a power_n where_o the_o nomination_n have_v no_o need_n of_o those_o aid_n but_o but_o of_o itself_o follow_v after_o the_o rejection_n now_o therefore_o since_o the_o rejection_n as_o the_o thing_n more_o import_v we_o be_v already_o do_v the_o nomination_n will_v be_v much_o the_o more_o easy_a provide_v we_o stand_v not_o upon_o such_o a_o perfection_n in_o the_o choice_n as_o the_o whole_a world_n can_v yield_v us._n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o set_v apart_o all_o particular_a passion_n and_o to_o have_v regard_n only_o to_o those_o reason_n which_o be_v fundamental_a for_o there_o be_v point_n requisite_a so_o necessary_a to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o election_n of_o a_o king_n as_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o good_a patriot_n to_o give_v his_o advice_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o one_o in_o who_o those_o thing_n require_v be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v but_o we_o may_v with_o very_o good_a assurance_n conclude_v for_o he_o in_o who_o they_o meet_v more_o than_o in_o any_o other_o man_n 1_o as_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o in_o such_o a_o person_n there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o matter_n to_o be_v fear_v for_o which_o king_n ferdinand_n be_v reject_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o ought_v not_o either_o to_o persecute_v or_o advance_v any_o for_o the_o respect_n of_o religion_n nor_o to_o exceed_v in_o the_o dependence_n of_o his_o own_o counsellor_n or_o of_o stranger_n but_o to_o join_v himself_o with_o the_o state_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v

2_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v require_v that_o he_o affect_v the_o estate_n with_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o reputation_n 3_o three_o that_o in_o time_n both_o of_o peace_n and_o war_n

or_o damage_n since_o than_o there_o be_v five_o who_o be_v infer_v into_o the_o treaty_n of_o this_o election_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o king_n of_o denmarrke_n the_o elector_n palatine_a the_o

therefore_o it_o shall_v suffice_v without_o offence_n to_o any_o brief_o to_o deduce_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o the_o elector_n palatine_n ought_v to_o be_v esteem_v very_o capable_a of_o the_o crown_n of_o bohemia_n and_o fit_a to_o maintain_v the_o present_a estate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o although_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o above_o twenty_o three_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n nevertheless_o
