catholic_n church_n yet_o we_o humble_o thank_v almighty_a god_n it_o be_v and_o have_v of_o long_a time_n be_v our_o constant_a sense_n and_o opinion_n which_o upon_o diverse_a occasion_n we_o have_v declare_v that_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v constrain_v nor_o people_n force_v in_o matter_n of_o mere_a religion_n it_o have_v ever_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o our_o inclination_n as_o we_o think_v it_o be_v to_o the_o interest_n of_o government_n which_o it_o destroy_v by_o spoil_v trade_n depopulate_v country_n and_o discourage_a stranger_n and_o final_o that_o it_o never_o

visible_a the_o success_n have_v not_o answer_v the_o design_n and_o that_o the_o difficulty_n be_v invincible_a we_o therefore_o out_o of_o our_o princely_a care_n and_o affection_n unto_o all_o our_o love_a subject_n that_o they_o may_v live_v at_o ease_n and_o quiet_v and_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o trade_n and_o encouragement_n of_o stranger_n have_v think_v fit_a by_o virtue_n of_o
