there_o be_v a_o place_n allow_v they_o with_o necessary_a accommodation_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n doctor_n steward_n do_v often_o preach_v to_o they_o and_o for_o their_o form_n of_o

consideration_n god_n have_v take_v away_o orlando_n my_o noble_a friend_n who_o do_v always_o much_o countenance_v i_o do_v lessen_v my_o affection_n to_o continue_v in_o that_o service_n for_o my_o soldier_n be_v all_o italian_n except_o a_o few_o greek_n and_o i_o never_o see_v much_o cause_n to_o be_v confident_a in_o their_o fidelity_n but_o it_o be_v chief_o for_o fear_n of_o he_o that_o they_o be_v so_o tractable_a to_o i_o as_o for_o religion_n in_o most_o part_n where_o i_o have_v be_v it_o be_v general_o the_o same_o with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o for_o the_o grecian_n for_o among_o they_o i_o be_v they_o be_v neither_o pure_a protestant_n nor_o pure_a papist_n i_o mean_v neither_o only_a protestant_n nor_o only_a papist_n but_o their_o religion_n be_v a_o mixture_n of_o both_o for_o though_o they_o hold_v some_o fundamental_n with_o we_o yet_o they_o follow_v many_o of_o the_o romish_a superstition_n and_o according_a to_o my_o observation_n they_o follow_v more_o the_o religion_n of_o rome_n than_o the_o protestant_a church_n and_o they_o be_v much_o poison_v with_o heresy_n but_o of_o all_o nation_n according_a to_o my_o observation_n none_o be_v more_o zealous_a for_o the_o religion_n of_o rome_n than_o the_o spaniard_n who_o i_o think_v for_o this_o be_v more_o romanist_n than_o the_o roman_n themselves_o for_o with_o they_o there_o be_v a_o
