appeal_n and_o let_v it_o be_v agree_v upon_o betwixt_o he_o and_o the_o pope_n that_o what_o prince_n soever_o shall_v refuse_v to_o submit_v hereto_o they_o shall_v be_v deprive_v by_o their_o authority_n for_o if_o some_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n or_o indeed_o if_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v fall_v off_o from_o the_o pope_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n who_o be_v the_o vindicater_v of_o the_o pontifical_a authority_n be_v assist_v by_o croisado_n and_o other_o aide_n from_o the_o pope_n will_v by_o degree_n ruin_v they_o all_o one_o after_o another_o or_o else_o bring_v they_o in_o subjection_n under_o himself_o and_o thus_o while_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o pope_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v both_o his_o affection_n sure_o unite_v to_o he_o and_o his_o power_n assist_v he_o and_o he_o shall_v withal_o make_v himself_o maâ—ter_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n dominion_n and_o this_o may_v possible_o hereafter_o come_v to_o pass_v although_o as_o matter_n now_o stand_v all_o that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v be_v to_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o keep_v these_o prince_n at_o difference_n among_o themselves_o and_o to_o make_v either_o the_o duke_n of_o parma_n
