the_o pope_n may_v as_o he_o be_v bind_v both_o edify_v in_o spiritual_n and_o preserve_v the_o kingdom_n of_o portugal_n to_o its_o lawful_a sovereign_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o in_o the_o

to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o they_o all_o first_o the_o rebellious_a and_o obstinate_a who_o will_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v their_o lawful_a king_n who_o christ_n vicar_n shall_v declare_v for_o

that_o by_o this_o action_n of_o his_o holiness_n the_o kingdom_n of_o portugal_n may_v be_v put_v out_o of_o a_o possibility_n of_o be_v conquer_v by_o king_n philip_n wherefore_o to_o obviate_v these_o inconvenience_n they_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o holiness_n to_o thunder_v out_o his_o censure_n against_o the_o duke_n of_o bragança_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o rebel_n may_v be_v reclaim_v the_o timorous_a take_v courage_n and_o the_o good_a subject_n confirm_v in_o their_o duty_n the_o nuncio_n think_v that_o censure_n in_o this_o case_n will_v do_v no_o

of_o bregança_n take_v himself_o to_o be_v either_o the_o lawful_a king_n or_o the_o usurper_n of_o portugal_n if_o the_o former_a he_o can_v never_o value_v a_o unjust_a excommunication_n for_o what_o he_o have_v justify_v to_o his_o own_o conscience_n and_o it_o will_v have_v less_o effect_n upon_o he_o in_o case_n he_o take_v himself_o for_o a_o usurper_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o will_v never_o renounce_v the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o life_n and_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o family_n than_o a_o excommunication_n will_v be_v of_o no_o benefit_n to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n for_o if_o the_o duke_n and_o the_o people_n of_o portugal_n shall_v despise_v and_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o will_v the_o probable_a and_o almost_o necessary_a consequence_n will_v be_v the_o introduction_n of_o calvinism_n or_o of_o some_o other_o heresy_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o neighbourhood_n and_o correspondence_n of_o that_o kingdom_n with_o the_o northern_a nation_n in_o which_o case_n the_o conquest_n of_o portugal_n will_v become_v the_o most_o difficult_a for_o all_o sectary_n be_v to_o be_v chastise_v not_o with_o ordinary_a

choose_v rather_o to_o die_v than_o in_o any_o case_n put_v themselves_o into_o the_o power_n of_o king_n philip._n but_o here_o the_o spanish_a minister_n take_v he_o up_o short_a and_o tell_v he_o
