that_o year_n no_o great_a or_o heavy_a punishment_n be_v lay_v upon_o her_o popish_a subject_n by_o the_o law_n precedent_n but_o now_o the_o vast_a project_n and_o ambition_n of_o spain_n for_o

shall_v not_o only_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v a_o foreign_a invader_n but_o also_o under_o pretence_n of_o the_o roman_a religion_n and_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n bull_n shall_v absolve_v her_o

that_o many_o of_o the_o priest_n be_v make_v wicked_a instrument_n of_o other_o man_n malice_n then_o that_o all_o be_v privy_a to_o their_o council_n yet_o this_o be_v true_a and_o verify_v by_o

of_o her_o reign_n not_o long_o after_o when_o the_o tempest_n rise_v and_o fall_v upon_o this_o land_n the_o event_n well_o declare_v what_o love_n remain_v in_o these_o man_n breast_n towards_o their_o dear_a country_n for_o so_o be_v they_o blind_v with_o hate_n and_o envy_n that_o they_o rest_v neither_o night_n nor_o day_n bind_v themselves_o with_o vow_n and_o sacrament_n to_o bring_v

once_o establish_v the_o queen_n be_v so_o draw_v with_o weight_n of_o affair_n that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o in_o her_o power_n to_o set_v they_o in_o that_o former_a estate_n wherein_o they_o be_v before_o in_o the_o twenty_o three_o of_o her_o reign_n hereunto_o may_v be_v add_v that_o although_o there_o be_v not_o want_v the_o industry_n of_o divers_a minister_n to_o increase_v her_o

she_o debate_v the_o keenness_n of_o their_o edge_n that_o the_o priest_n who_o suffer_v death_n be_v very_o few_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o exceed_a number_n these_o thing_n i_o rehearse_v not_o as_o points_z of_o her_o defence_n this_o cause_n need_v no_o justification_n whereas_o both_o the_o safety_n of_o this_o kingdom_n require_v no_o less_o and_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o this_o

of_o my_o first_o affection_n have_v by_o this_o time_n sufficient_o show_v that_o this_o prince_n be_v moderate_a in_o cause_n of_o religion_n and_o if_o any_o sharpness_n happen_v therein_o that_o
