and_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o resistance_n then_o turn_v the_o minister_n out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o put_v in_o those_o that_o you_o will_v set_v up_o in_o their_o stead_n 10._o then_o change_v the_o university_n and_o tell_v all_o the_o fellow_n and_o scholar_n that_o they_o shall_v hold_v their_o place_n if_o they_o will_v turn_v else_o not_o many_o will_v change_v religion_n

change_v at_o the_o first_o and_o not_o the_o whole_a controvert_v part_n of_o the_o religion_n and_o so_o the_o people_n will_v think_v it_o but_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o yield_v in_o one_o or_o two_o opinion_n and_o be_v easy_o bring_v to_o obey_v 13._o last_o they_o fall_v to_o write_v against_o each_o other_o and_o those_o that_o have_v the_o court-favor_n seem_v to_o carry_v it_o all_o this_o advice_n be_v about_o the_o three_o direction_n that_o be_v how_o to_o work_v out_o the_o minister_n safe_o which_o he_o cover_v under_o pretend_a instance_n of_o such_o as_o have_v change_v religion_n in_o germany_n 4._o the_o four_o rule_n be_v to_o put_v out_o of_o honour_n dignity_n and_o public_a office_n all_o those_o that_o be_v most_o adverse_a to_o popery_n it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o those_o that_o hinder_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o honour_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o man_n be_v depose_v for_o heinous_a

must_v be_v do_v by_o degree_n and_o in_o a_o way_n of_o reason_n and_o can_v be_v do_v by_o mere_a command_n and_o power_n than_o you_o must_v first_o fall_v on_o those_o opinion_n that_o the_o common_a people_n be_v most_o against_o and_o which_o you_o can_v quick_o make_v they_o think_v absurd_a so_o he_o instance_v in_o some_o that_o will_v work_v out_o lutheranism_n that_o speak_v honourable_o of_o luther_n and_o fall_v on_o they_o only_o under_o the_o name_n of_o flaccian_n so_o the_o arminian_o at_o vtrecht_n when_o they_o will_v extirpate_v calvinisme_n make_v a_o decree_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v preach_v any_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n thus_o a_o magistrate_n that_o will_v bring_v in_o popery_n must_v full_o upon_o such_o heinous_a opinion_n which_o the_o impudent_a themselves_o be_v half_a ashamed_a of_o and_o bring_v these_o into_o the_o light_n that_o they_o may_v be_v odious_a and_o so_o the_o teacher_n will_v

religion_n be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o protestant_n contention_n how_o easy_a it_o be_v say_v he_o in_o england_n to_o bring_v the_o puritan_n into_o order_n if_o they_o be_v force_v to_o approve_v of_o bishop_n or_o to_o reduce_v the_o puritan_n in_o the_o low-countries_n if_o the_o prince_n adhere_v to_o the_o arminian_o for_o the_o variety_n of_o opinion_n make_v they_o doubtful_a that_o before_o seem_v certain_a so_o that_o when_o the_o magistrate_n join_v with_o one_o side_n he_o easy_o overturn_v the_o other_o and_o leave_v the_o whole_a obnoxious_a as_o paul_n do_v by_o the_o dissension_n between_o the_o pharisee_n and_o saducee_n join_v to_o one_o side_n he_o escape_v this_o say_v he_o i_o will_v principal_o persuade_v a_o orthodox_n magistrate_n to_o for_o he_o may_v with_o as_o much_o advantage_n make_v use_v of_o the_o protestant_n disagreement_n as_o of_o the_o papist_n concord_n to_o extirpate_v protestant_n as_o in_o war_n it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o skill_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o general_n but_o often_o also_o the_o carelessness_n of_o the_o enemy_n or_o his_o mistake_n that_o give_v very_o great_a advantage_n for_o success_n when_o rigid_a calvinisme_n be_v assault_v by_o the_o lutheran_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o paroxysm_n it_o be_v exasperate_v and_o the_o sudden_a restraint_n do_v much_o hurt_n but_o now_o the_o arminian_o have_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n let_v go_v the_o hard_a part_n of_o their_o rigour_n and_o judge_v the_o calvinist_n to_o be_v impious_a and_o persecute_v they_o in_o the_o very_a university_n and_o in_o other_o town_n they_o force_v they_o to_o banishment_n and_o will_v venture_v to_o do_v more_o and_o cruel_a thing_n if_o they_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o adverse_a party_n very_o if_o prince_n maurice_n alone_o do_v but_o stand_v for_o the_o arminian_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o contraremonstants_a will_v flag_n or_o be_v break_v 7._o the_o seven_o rule_n be_v to_o

and_o the_o multitude_n will_v follow_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o ruler_n shame_n will_v retain_v some_o and_o fear_v other_o but_o a_o vain_a security_n will_v prevail_v with_o most_o when_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o help_v it_o within_o these_o few_o year_n above_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o have_v be_v turn_v to_o popery_n in_o france_n and_o more_o in_o germany_n not_o any_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o germany_n that_o do_v endeavour_v to_o draw_v over_o his_o people_n to_o the_o catholic_n do_v ever_o find_v any_o force_n or_o resistance_n contrary_a to_o his_o law_n note_v this_o all_o you_o slanderous_a papist_n that_o accuse_v protestant_n so_o much_o of_o rebellion_n to_o hide_v your_o own_o here_o be_v a_o jesuit_n testimony_n on_o record_n for_o our_o vindication_n
