by_o they_o with_o a_o fidelity_n become_v their_o habit_n yet_o the_o evil_n continue_v nevertheless_o because_o most_o man_n can_v perceive_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o so_o great_a a_o disaster_n but_o if_o they_o will_v examine_v the_o thing_n a_o little_a more_o exact_o they_o shall_v easy_o find_v that_o it_o be_v the_o vast_a and_o boundless_a desire_n they_o have_v to_o aggrandise_n

of_o the_o society_n so_o that_o if_o england_n shall_v happen_v to_o turn_v to_o her_o ancient_a faith_n it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n she_o will_v give_v beginning_n to_o a_o real_a and_o perfect_a jesuitic_a monarchy_n because_o the_o bishopric_n and_o dignites_n and_o general_o all_o other_o church-revenue_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o none_o but_o jesuit_n we_o can_v after_o all_o this_o think_v

people_n they_o think_v of_o nothing_o less_o than_o conversion_n i_o will_v say_v nothing_o here_o of_o their_o imaginary_a pretence_n to_o a_o certain_a estate_n nor_o of_o those_o discourse_n they_o jade_v the_o ear_n of_o a_o prince_n with_o touch_v the_o authority_n they_o boast_v of_o over_o the_o spirit_n of_o their_o people_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o which_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v

make_v it_o appear_v they_o be_v so_o expert_a it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a they_o shall_v abstain_v from_o it_o from_o whence_o any_o man_n must_v conclude_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v very_o dear_a to_o any_o prince_n that_o love_v peace_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o state_n see_v they_o can_v do_v he_o no_o service_n as_o i_o have_v before_o say_v which_o he_o may_v not_o expect_v from_o many_o other_o when_o they_o may_v on_o the_o other_o side_n cause_v he_o a_o thousand_o trouble_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o they_o may_v hazard_v his_o state_n if_o suffer_v they_o in_o his_o dominion_n he_o do_v not_o favour_v they_o and_o govern_v himself_o by_o their_o direction_n in_o which_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o equal_a danger_n attend_v he_o for_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v declare_v in_o the_o present_a point_n ii_o if_o without_o the_o least_o temporal_a jurisdiction_n they_o cause_v so_o great_a commotion_n in_o the_o world_n what_o will_v follow_v if_o by_o misfortune_n one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v choose_v pope_n we_o can_v doubt_v but_o he_o will_v fill_v the_o consistory_n the_o consistory_n conclave_n with_o jesuit_n which_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o perpetuate_v the_o popedom_n in_o that_o society_n moreover_o govern_v themselves_o as_o they_o do_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o private_a interest_n and_o have_v the_o pope_n power_n on_o their_o side_n with_o all_o his_o force_n be_v it_o not_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v they_o will_v endanger_v the_o state_n of_o many_o prince_n especial_o those_o that_o lie_v next_o the_o ecclesiastic_a state_n iii_o a_o pope_n of_o their_o society_n will_v doubtless_o use_v his_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o put_v they_o in_o possession_n of_o some_o temporal_a jurisdiction_n or_o strong_a town_n which_o he_o can_v never_o do_v without_o injure_v some_o other_o prince_n iv_o if_o the_o consistory_n be_v once_o fill_v with_o jesuit_n all_o the_o patrimony_n of_o the_o church_n all_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o holy_a church_n will_v be_v in_o their_o hand_n and_o as_o we_o see_v the_o more_o a_o hydropic_a drink_n the_o more_o his_o thirst_n increase_v
