betwixt_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o spain_n now_o daily_o sound_v in_o our_o ear_n unto_o the_o sad_a and_o woeful_a ruin_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o people_n but_o he_o be_v subtle_a and_o

therefore_o he_o judge_v it_o a_o wise_a part_n to_o hunt_v far_o from_o home_n as_o fox_n do_v where_o ordinary_a reader_n can_v so_o easy_o discern_v his_o impertinency_n if_o he_o do_v speak_v any_o thing_n near_o our_o own_o time_n it_o must_v be_v the_o wrangling_n of_o some_o obscure_a man_n unknown_a to_o we_o if_o he_o relate_v the_o difference_n of_o great_a man_n they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v far_o remove_v off_o four_z five_o nine_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o then_o he_o hope_v that_o his_o reader_n may_v not_o so_o easy_o discover_v his_o fraud_n for_o the_o same_o

all_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n europe_n asia_n and_o africa_n so_o far_o as_o the_o very_a sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n look_v upon_o it_o and_o those_o difference_n be_v indeed_o about_o a_o

against_o all_o rule_n of_o christian_a piety_n and_o moderation_n when_o concupiscence_n and_o passion_n be_v once_o engage_v and_o yet_o be_v that_o arrian_n dispute_v so_o quaint_a and_o subtle_a that_o the_o world_n hardly_o discern_v where_o the_o difference_n lie_v which_o so_o much_o incense_v all_o the_o catholic_n prelate_n in_o the_o world_n and_o set_v in_o such_o a_o deadly_a feud_n so_o many_o great_a and_o holy_a man_n on_o both_o side_n who_o have_v guide_v their_o flock_n before_o in_o all_o tranquillity_n and_o peace_n but_o what_o reason_n soever_o the_o doctor_n have_v for_o his_o omission_n of_o this_o arrian_n heresy_n which_o be_v more_o pertinent_a than_o any_o of_o all_o his_o story_n put_v together_o yet_o may_v he_o not_o methinks_v have_v utter_o forget_v
