to_o many_o and_o from_o lesser_a to_o great_a yet_o will_v he_o never_o begin_v any_o attempt_n against_o they_o nor_o never_o make_v somuch_o as_o any_o show_n of_o any_o one_o act_n of_o

most_o great_a and_o sufficient_a argument_n of_o his_o ground_a affection_n unto_o that_o queen_n and_o country_n for_o most_o rare_o be_v it_o find_v that_o any_o king_n or_o prince_n can_v so_o

and_o people_n &_o hope_v of_o redress_n and_o amendment_n thus_o much_o may_v serve_v to_o show_v whether_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v seek_v so_o many_o year_n to_o trouble_v the_o state_n of_o england_n but_o contrariwise_o whether_o the_o state_n of_o england_n have_v so_o long_o seek_v the_o disturbance_n of_o he_o and_o almost_o of_o all_o other_o their_o neighbour_n i_o leave_v the_o reader_n to_o judge_v by_o the_o premise_n &_o the_o confirmation_n of_o those_o i_o refer_v to_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o europe_n to_o the_o end_n there_o may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a number_n of_o witness_n to_o check_v the_o extreme_a impudenof_n the_o malicious_a adversary_n proclamation_n who_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v that_o the_o repose_n of_o

peace_n if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v such_o as_o this_o pacifier_n will_v prescribe_v it_o unto_o he_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o i_o do_v great_o doubt_n whether_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n will_v thereunto_o be_v persuade_v because_o in_o al-lykelyhode_a it_o must_v be_v in_o this_o manner_n peace_n first_o that_o he_o shall_v recall_v such_o force_n as_o of_o great_a compassion_n unto_o the_o natural_a people_n of_o france_n he_o have_v send_v thither_o to_o defend_v they_o against_o a_o relapsed_a huguenote_v that_o will_v make_v they_o renegate_n from_o the_o faith_n as_o himself_o be_v second_o that_o he_o shall_v suffer_v his_o rebel_n of_o holland_n and_o zealand_n quiet_o to_o possess_v the_o place_n they_o do_v hold_v and_o to_o take_v unto_o they_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o low_a country_n also_o conditional_o that_o the_o english_a might_n still_o keep_v the_o possession_n of_o such_o port_n town_n as_o they_o have_v &_o have_v some_o half_n a_o

these_o few_o aricle_n be_v thus_o accord_v then_o may_v england_n france_n the_o netherlande_n and_o germany_n be_v in_o far_o better_a possibility_n to_o extirpate_v the_o catholyke_a religion_n in_o italy_n to_o bring_v the_o moor_n into_o spain_n &_o then_o to_o conclude_v that_o universal_a peace_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n and_o include_v in_o thesame_a the_o great_a turk_n the_o king_n of_o fez_n and_o marrocco_n and_o other_o infidel_n with_o who_o england_n be_v already_o league_v and_o thus_o have_v declare_v sundry_a of_o the_o injury_n do_v by_o the_o english_a
