whereof_o may_v be_v as_o yet_o fresh_a in_o our_o memory_n viz._n how_o that_o in_o philip_n the_o second_o king_n of_o spain_n reign_n the_o french_a king_n the_o emperor_n queen_n elizabeth_n of_o england_n the_o king_n of_o denmark_n the_o swede_n nay_o and_o amidst_o the_o state_n general_n of_o the_o low-countries_n the_o same_o have_v be_v find_v to_o be_v a_o necessary_a course_n and_o a_o

same_o extension_n of_o their_o conscience_n as_o he_o do_v especial_o whenas_o his_o extreme_a passion_n illimitate_v ambition_n and_o cruel_a firebrand_n move_v he_o to_o see_v all_o his_o neighbour_n on_o fire_n nay_o he_o endeavour_v to_o have_v make_v use_n of_o henry_n the_o four_o of_o navarre_n as_o then_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n to_o make_v war_n against_o the_o french_a

without_o any_o further_a allegation_n or_o example_n be_v maintain_v that_o those_o who_o do_v not_o much_o differ_v in_o the_o point_n of_o religion_n from_o those_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o france_n may_v lawful_o use_v all_o plausible_a mean_n to_o back_n and_o abet_v they_o in_o the_o advance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o their_o oppose_n of_o that_o faction_n which_o mean_v nought_o save_o destruction_n unto_o the_o briton_n and_o so_o interrupt_v they_o in_o their_o run_n alongst_o on_o the_o lord_n providence_n thus_o i_o have_v make_v good_a the_o goodness_n justness_n necessity_n and_o plausibleness_n of_o the_o undertake_n h._n p._n but_o as_o now_o pray_v resolve_v i_o concerning_o the_o apprehend_a mischief_n which_o may_v ensue_v if_o so_o be_v this_o present_a occasion_n be_v not_o heed_v b._n g._n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o inconstant_a as_o a_o frenchman_n spirit_n so_o be_v there_o nothing_o so_o furious_a in_o its_o resentment_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o fleming_n can_v very_o well_o determinate_a whether_o the_o french_a fury_n and_o massacre_n be_v not_o far_o more_o violent_a and_o outrageous_a than_o the_o spanish_a although_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o french_a will_v also_o passionate_o love_v and_o befriend_v where_o once_o they_o be_v engage_v all_o which_o infer_v how_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o apparent_a as_o that_o in_o case_n the_o discontent_a french_a prince_n shall_v perceive_v that_o neither_o those_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o france_n nor_o themselves_o when_o once_o engage_v can_v expect_v to_o be_v countenance_v abet_v and_o back_v they_o will_v as_o then_o with_o the_o more_o violence_n hasten_v to_o patch_v up_o their_o own_o domestic_a jar_n at_o any_o rate_n as_o also_o their_o foreign_a war_n with_o spain_n which_o if_o they_o shall_v once_o compass_v what_o can_v there_o then_o be_v expect_v but_o that_o they_o will_v all_o together_o join_v their_o malice_n and_o force_n towards_o the_o impedit_n of_o the_o briton_n their_o design_n and_o so_o unanimous_o proceed_v to_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o english_a sea_n so_o have_v it_o likewise_o ever_o be_v account_v for_o a_o infallible_a truth_n that_o though_o the_o french_a nation_n be_v excessive_o inconstant_a ready_a and_o capable_a at_o each_o turn_n of_o the_o wind_n to_o embroil_v one_o another_o and_o to_o commit_v most_o egregious_a oversight_n so_o be_v they_o as_o ready_a and_o capable_a to_o piece_n up_o their_o own_o difference_n again_o and_o to_o find_v out_o expedient_n to_o salve_v over_o their_o fault_n moreover_o as_o they_o be_v more_o violent_a than_o any_o other_o nation_n in_o the_o hatch_n of_o mischief_n against_o those_o with_o who_o they_o fall_v foul_a be_v as_o cesar_n observe_v at_o their_o first_o onset_n more_o than_o man_n so_o likewise_o be_v they_o easy_o pacify_v and_o soon_o reconcile_v wherefore_o my_o conclusion_n thereon_o be_v no_o other_o than_o this_o viz._n that_o although_o divine_a providence_n steer_v all_o thing_n on_o its_o own_o score_n yet_o that_o there_o be_v a_o obligation_n which_o may_v very_o well_o to_o observe_v and_o to_o make_v good_a and_o that_o same_o seem_v at_o present_a to_o be_v in_o season_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o fair_a civil_a and_o hopeful_a demonstration_n may_v be_v make_v of_o amity_n and_o countenance_n unto_o those_o of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o france_n and_o unto_o the_o discontent_a prince_n whenas_o this_o follow_a truth_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o gainsay_n viz._n how_o that_o both_o of_o they_o do_v conceive_v that_o they_o have_v sufficient_o express_v their_o meaning_n thereon_o h._n p._n by_o what_o i_o pray_v b._n g._n by_o that_o which_o i_o have_v instance_v on_o to_o show_v and_o to_o unfold_v so_o that_o if_o you_o heed_v it_o not_o it_o must_v needs_o lie_v at_o your_o own_o door_n and_o the_o which_o be_v the_o less_o to_o be_v excuse_v for_o that_o in_o two_o year_n time_n the_o say_a particular_a can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v permit_v to_o be_v represent_v nor_o be_v
