of_o incivility_n vii_o furthermore_o that_o general_a assertive_a note_n give_v against_o card._n all_o bellarmine_n that_o whensoever_o he_o be_v press_v with_o any_o difficult_a argument_n of_o

no_o one_o be_v here_o allege_a that_o can_v be_v stand_v unto_o and_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o true_a contradiction_n in_o deed_n that_o other_o injurious_a and_o sting_a conclusion_n also_o that_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n between_o god_n and_o belial_n light_n and_o darkness_n heaven_n and_o hell_n then_o there_o be_v between_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o card._n all_o bellarmine_n work_n concerrn_v the_o dignity_n of_o temporal_a prince_n i_o can_v not_o imagine_v that_o the_o equity_n and_o gravity_n of_o his_o ma._n tie_n will_v ever_o allow_v of_o it_o

and_o dignity_n of_o temporal_a prince_n do_v consist_v i_o see_v not_o and_o if_o his_o book_n have_v be_v so_o derogatory_n to_o princely_a authority_n as_o here_o be_v say_v it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o so_o many_o other_o monarch_n prince_n and_o great_a state_n will_v never_o have_v permit_v they_o to_o have_v be_v print_v in_o their_o dominion_n as_o they_o have_v do_v and_o do_v daily_o wherefore_o neither_o this_o also_o do_v i_o suppose_v that_o the_o great_a wisdom_n of_o his_o ma._n tie_n will_v have_v allow_v viii_o this_o then_o remain_v most_o firm_a in_o my_o persuasion_n
