requisite_a to_o confirm_v it_o among_o those_o that_o have_v interest_n in_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v all_o such_o to_o who_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n be_v or_o will_v be_v either_o

generality_n which_o i_o mention_v only_o to_o intimate_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o possible_a to_o frame_v and_o confirm_v such_o a_o league_n among_o protestant_n if_o they_o be_v not_o altogether_o insensible_a of_o their_o own_o danger_n but_o also_o feasible_a enough_o and_o not_o very_o difficult_a if_o the_o true_a relation_n which_o the_o one_o work_n must_v have_v to_o the_o other_o in_o their_o necessary_a concurrence_n be_v right_o observe_v and_o instrument_n employ_v about_o the_o same_o 11._o of_o the_o relation_n which_o the_o one_o work_n have_v to_o the_o other_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v show_v that_o the_o civil_a league_n depend_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o ecclesiastical_a reconcilement_n as_o the_o body_n do_v upon_o the_o soul_n now_o we_o may_v say_v on_o the_o other_o side_n again_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a work_n depend_v upon_o the_o civil_a confederation_n as_o the_o soul_n upon_o the_o body_n for_o indeed_o betwixt_o soul_n and_o body_n there_o be_v a_o mutual_a dependence_n so_o that_o the_o one_o be_v not_o so_o apparent_o subsist_v without_o the_o other_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v conclude_v that_o except_o the_o body_n of_o a_o civil_a confederation_n be_v intend_v and_o seek_v for_o the_o work_n of_o ecclesiastical_a reconcilement_n will_v never_o come_v to_o a_o public_a and_o visible_a estate_n of_o ratification_n no_o more_o than_o our_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v see_v without_o their_o natural_a body_n yet_o because_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v by_o themselves_o also_o a_o be_v and_o subsistence_n without_o their_o body_n it_o be_v manifest_v that_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o have_v a_o relation_n unto_o man_n soul_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v suspend_v from_o their_o bodily_a condition_n but_o may_v and_o shall_v be_v seek_v for_o by_o themselves_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o work_n of_o spiritual_a reconcilement_n shall_v be_v agitate_a although_o the_o other_o be_v not_o intend_v that_o yet_o this_o must_v not_o be_v make_v a_o appendix_n thereof_o but_o take_v up_o for_o itself_o as_o a_o business_n stand_v upon_o its_o own_o principle_n tend_v to_o its_o own_o end_n which_o be_v the_o advancement_n of_o god_n kingdom_n and_o which_o may_v run_v along_o in_o its_o own_o channel_n together_o with_o the_o other_o work_n even_o as_o the_o artery_n which_o be_v conduit_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n concur_v together_o in_o one_o body_n with_o the_o vein_n thereof_o which_o contain_v the_o mass_n of_o blood_n i_o suppose_v then_o that_o the_o author_n of_o both_o work_n their_o endeavour_n mean_n and_o manner_n of_o proceed_n ought_v to_o be_v not_o only_o conjoint_v but_o also_o in_o some_o case_n dependent_a each_o upon_o other_o yet_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o confusion_n and_o commixture_n of_o the_o chief_a aim_n of_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o fundamental_a proceed_n by_o which_o each_o work_n be_v to_o be_v perfect_v for_o each_o work_n have_v its_o own_o aim_n it_o be_v own_o principle_n and_o way_n distinct_o to_o be_v use_v in_o and_o for_o its_o self_n must_v needs_o have_v also_o its_o own_o author_n and_o actor_n distinguish_v which_o nevertheless_o must_v not_o only_o correspond_v together_o and_o do_v thing_n with_o mutual_a knowledge_n but_o also_o assist_v and_o help_v one_o another_o with_o advice_n and_o address_n in_o matter_n of_o moment_n that_o when_o either_o hope_n and_o likelihood_n appear_v both_o may_v know_v each_o other_o advantage_n or_o when_o difficulty_n either_o way_n be_v incident_a prevention_n may_v be_v both_o way_n use_v lest_o from_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o one_o some_o inconvenience_n may_v reflect_v upon_o the_o other_o therefore_o the_o undertaker_n of_o both_o work_n before_o

wherein_o it_o may_v be_v conjecture_v that_o jealousy_n take_v up_o by_o other_o from_o matter_n which_o happy_o will_v fall_v out_o on_o either_o side_n may_v cause_v a_o difficulty_n in_o both_o work_n for_o if_o either_o the_o instrument_n of_o a_o civil_a league_n shall_v agitate_v too_o much_o with_o divine_n or_o with_o statesman_n the_o work_n of_o ecclesiastical_a reconcilement_n or_o the_o undertaker_n of_o the_o spiritual_a work_n shall_v show_v himself_o too_o forward_o in_o matter_n of_o state_n both_o may_v incur_v the_o suspicion_n of_o not_o deal_v sincere_o because_o the_o clergy_n may_v be_v jealous_a that_o something_o may_v be_v intend_v to_o their_o prejudice_n if_o matter_n of_o religion_n shall_v be_v too_o far_o meddle_v into_o by_o statesman_n and_o the_o statesman_n may_v suspect_v the_o spiritual_a agent_n that_o his_o chief_a and_o real_a aim_n be_v not_o a_o true_a composition_n of_o difference_n in_o religion_n but_o rather_o some_o pretext_n subtle_o make_v use_n of_o to_o cover_v some_o other_o worldly_a intention_n which_o will_v mar_v all_o and_o make_v both_o they_o and_o their_o divine_n rich_a and_o fearful_a to_o meddle_v in_o the_o one_o or_o in_o the_o other_o business_n now_o to_o avoid_v this_o and_o many_o other_o inconvenience_n which_o may_v be_v reckon_v up_o each_o must_v agitate_v his_o own_o work_n and_o yet_o not_o without_o the_o foreknowledge_n and_o preconsultation_n with_o the_o other_o which_o suffice_v to_o frame_v a_o fit_a concurrence_n at_o incident_a occasion_n of_o special_a moment_n which_o be_v open_o countenance_v by_o authority_n will_v make_v a_o deep_a impression_n upon_o man_n affection_n and_o to_o this_o effect_n also_o the_o most_o observable_a circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n

to_o see_v the_o possibility_n of_o this_o spiritual_a work_n these_o circumstance_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o seasonableness_n of_o this_o time_n to_o agitate_v in_o these_o matter_n arise_v two_o way_n partly_o from_o the_o extreme_a danger_n and_o distraction_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n partly_o from_o the_o preparation_n make_v already_o towards_o the_o

to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o absolute_a necessity_n the_o second_o show_v the_o possibility_n thereof_o the_o distraction_n and_o danger_n of_o protestant_n be_v almost_o infinite_a they_o can_v be_v
