of_o they_o unless_o they_o will_v recant_v and_o again_o admit_v of_o the_o catholic_n belief_n and_o to_o this_o end_n the_o french_a italian_n and_o spaniard_n be_v first_o all_o reconcile_a and_o

to_o hear_v of_o any_o such_o empire_n or_o universal_a monarchy_n lest_o so_o they_o shall_v be_v reduce_v into_o their_o ancient_a servitude_n again_o and_o also_o because_o they_o be_v very_o

and_o that_o under_o a_o pretext_n of_o march_v for_o hungary_n these_o thing_n i_o say_v that_o all_o people_n may_v take_v notice_n how_o much_o it_o concern_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n that_o he_o endeavour_v the_o attain_n to_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o world_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o indeed_o his_o be_v dignify_v with_o the_o title_n of_o the_o

withal_o but_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o we_o have_v the_o clergy_n on_o our_o side_n but_o we_o be_v further_o to_o labour_n that_o at_o length_n we_o may_v get_v a_o spaniard_n to_o be_v elect_v pope_n or_o rather_o one_o of_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n see_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o whensoever_o the_o pope_n pronounce_v his_o oracle_n for_o this_o house_n he_o do_v thereby_o raise_v it_o withal_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o cast_v a_o cloud_n upon_o it_o and_o keep_v it_o under_o whensoever_o he_o declare_v against_o it_o which_o the_o king_n of_o france_n observe_v they_o have_v endeavour_v with_o all_o their_o might_n that_o the_o pope_n shall_v remove_v his_o seat_n and_o go_v and_o live_v in_o france_n and_o so_o we_o know_v that_o when_o the_o oracle_n at_o

monarchy_n of_o all_o greece_n in_o the_o determination_n also_o concern_v difference_n in_o religion_n it_o behoove_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n to_o be_v the_o most_o active_a of_o any_o in_o the_o manage_n of_o the_o same_o and_o indeed_o to_o take_v a_o great_a care_n and_o to_o be_v more_o vigilant_a herein_o than_o the_o pope_n himself_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o philip_n king_n of_o france_n do_v always_o in_o a_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v command_v pope_n john_n the_o xxii_o as_o be_v himself_o more_o zealous_a than_o the_o pope_n be_v in_o defend_v and_o propagate_a that_o decree_n of_o the_o church_n namely_o that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n do_v see_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n even_o before_o the_o last_o day_n of_o judgement_n there_o must_v also_o always_o some_o novelty_n or_o other_o tend_v to_o christian_a religion_n be_v set_v on_o foot_n such_o as_o be_v the_o canonisation_n of_o saint_n the_o change_n of_o the_o name_n of_o holy_a day_n &_o of_o month_n &_o other_o the_o like_a thing_n by_o transfer_v they_o to_o christian_a worship_n by_o which_o mean_n he_o shall_v keep_v busy_a the_o head_n of_o the_o prelate_n as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v and_o so_o shall_v thereby_o the_o more_o confirm_v his_o own_o authority_n among_o they_o he_o ought_v beside_o to_o oblige_v the_o chief_a of_o the_o clergy_n to_o himself_o by_o the_o most_o commodious_a art_n that_o he_o can_v as_o namely_o by_o send_v into_o the_o low-countries_n and_o the_o like_v suspect_v place_n cardinals_z and_o bishop_n to_o be_v governor_n there_o for_o the_o people_n will_v much_o more_o ready_o and_o cheerful_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o such_o than_o they_o will_v the_o severity_n of_o the_o spaniard_n and_o such_o prelate_n will_v also_o adhere_v more_o to_o them_o nevertheless_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v as_o subordinate_a to_o they_o some_o military_a commander_n with_o force_n too_o and_o beside_o he_o ought_v by_o the_o pope_n consent_n too_o to_o send_v abroad_o such_o cardinal_n as_o be_v either_o spaniard_n bear_v or_o at_o least_o of_o the_o spanish_a faction_n
true_a yet_o the_o course_n that_o the_o turk_n take_v be_v so_o blunt_a and_o plain_a that_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v but_o one_o overthrow_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o lusty_a one_o indeed_o it_o will_v prove_v his_o utter_a ruin_n as_o i_o have_v hint_v before_o since_o that_o he_o have_v no_o vice-roys_n or_o baron_n by_o who_o he_o may_v be_v recruit_v and_o make_v whole_a again_o but_o we_o can_v say_v so_o of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n who_o in_o such_o a_o case_n will_v present_o be_v furnish_v with_o aide_n from_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o union_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n i_o say_v moreover_o that_o he_o can_v suffer_v any_o notable_a overthrow_n unless_o it_o be_v by_o some_o very_a potent_a prince_n such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o great_a turk_n be_v who_o yet_o lie_v so_o very_o far_o remote_a from_o he_o as_o alexander_n the_o great_a of_o old_a do_v from_o the_o roman_n can_v so_o quick_o ruin_v he_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a any_o peaceable_a agreement_n of_o the_o christian_n among_o themselves_o if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v but_o firm_a and_o last_a will_v utter_o confound_v the_o turk_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o although_o king_n philip_n kingdom_n lie_v scatter_v far_o and_o near_o yet_o his_o enemy_n also_o lie_v far_o asunder_o one_o from_o another_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o his_o emulator_n the_o italian_n tuscan_n and_o venetian_n will_v never_o enter_v into_o a_o combination_n against_o he_o unless_o he_o first_o give_v they_o some_o evident_a cause_n and_o wrong_v they_o very_o much_o neither_o indeed_o will_v the_o pope_n ever_o suffer_v any_o act_n of_o hostility_n to_o be_v do_v against_o his_o catholic_n majesty_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v also_o most_o certain_a that_o the_o catholic_n prince_n both_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o the_o heretic_n and_o also_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n will_v never_o attempt_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o the_o heretic_n be_v at_o very_o great_a variance_n also_o among_o themselves_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n germany_n be_v divide_v into_o several_a small_a republic_n can_v do_v he_o any_o harm_n at_o all_o and_o it_o be_v beside_o part_n of_o it_o make_v subject_a to_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n and_o the_o archduke_n thereof_o by_o the_o emperor_n and_o part_v also_o to_o certain_a archbishop_n who_o be_v withal_o secular_a prince_n as_o namely_o the_o archbishop_n of_o mentz_n of_o colen_n trevers_n salsburg_n strasburg_n and_o bamberg_n and_o part_v also_o to_o the_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n so_o that_o the_o protestant_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n make_v any_o insurrection_n against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o low_a germany_n also_o be_v divide_v into_o more_o commonwealth_n than_o the_o other_o all_o which_o bear_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n though_o it_o be_v only_o to_o defend_v themselves_o and_o not_o to_o offend_v he_o and_o of_o this_o number_n be_v the_o province_n of_o holland_n friesland_n and_o zealand_n beside_o the_o upper_a and_o the_o low_a germany_n differ_v very_o much_o in_o their_o religion_n which_o we_o may_v also_o say_v of_o the_o dane_n norwegian_n transylvanian_n gotlander_n polonian_n french_a swisser_n and_o grison_n so_o that_o the_o king_n have_v no_o need_n at_o all_o to_o fear_v that_o these_o shall_v ever_o all_o join_v together_o against_o he_o and_o beside_o the_o king_n retain_v a_o great_a part_n of_o these_o nation_n in_o pay_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n keep_v they_o his_o friend_n and_o then_o the_o king_n of_o poland_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o transylvania_n be_v ally_v to_o he_o by_o marriage_n and_o so_o be_v in_o league_n and_o amity_n with_o he_o so_o that_o he_o have_v no_o body_n to_o stand_v in_o fear_n of_o but_o only_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o king_n of_o england_n which_o two_o prince_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o be_v of_o different_a religion_n can_v never_o agree_v together_o now_o although_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n can_v as_o yet_o subdue_v the_o king_n of_o france_n yet_o it_o make_v very_o much_o for_o his_o interest_n that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v absolve_v by_o the_o pope_n be_v return_v again_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o church_n for_o otherwise_o he_o will_v have_v be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o the_o transalpine_a heretic_n and_o will_v have_v march_v with_o a_o army_n of_o they_o over_o into_o italy_n to_o the_o great_a prejudice_n both_o of_o the_o pope_n and_o of_o our_o king_n which_o none_o of_o the_o heretic_n have_v to_o this_o day_n adventure_v to_o do_v mere_o for_o want_v of_o a_o powerful_a general_n to_o head_n they_o then_o beside_o there_o be_v a_o division_n break_v out_o in_o france_n betwixt_o the_o catholic_n and_o the_o heretic_n and_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n of_o all_o there_o be_v in_o that_o kingdom_n many_o potent_a bishop_n who_o will_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n see_v spain_n ruin_v and_o last_o our_o king_n subject_n do_v not_o come_v into_o the_o field_n with_o lance_n sword_n and_o horse_n as_o the_o french_a use_n to_o do_v but_o they_o come_v into_o it_o arm_v with_o gun_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o arm_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o defend_n of_o strong_a hold_n and_o fortification_n then_o for_o the_o set_n upon_o a_o enemy_n in_o a_o open_a

what_o spain_n be_v able_a to_o do_v within_o itself_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v it_o may_v become_v great_a and_o enlarge_v its_o territory_n lay_v down_o this_o for_o a_o ground_n that_o for_o the_o render_n of_o any_o dominion_n whatsoever_o firm_a and_o durable_a it_o be_v necessary_o require_v that_o there_o be_v first_o a_o natural_a sociableness_n and_o a_o apt_a correspondence_n among_o

be_v that_o the_o italian_n and_o the_o spaniard_n do_v so_o ready_o jump_v and_o agree_v together_o both_o because_o they_o understand_v each_o the_o other_o language_n and_o be_v also_o like_o

the_o high_a and_o most_o advantageous_a craft_n that_o a_o prince_n can_v make_v use_n of_o be_v to_o show_v himself_o beneficent_a religious_a and_o liberal_a towards_o his_o subject_n yet_o this_o in_o so_o moderate_a a_o way_n as_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o give_v they_o not_o occasion_n to_o despise_v he_o as_o happen_v to_o pope_n celestine_n the_o five_o but_o let_v we_o now_o

can_v be_v no_o monarch_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n unless_o he_o have_v his_o dependence_n upon_o the_o pope_n for_o certain_o what_o prince_n soever_o have_v any_o other_o that_o be_v

the_o true_a do_v prevail_v and_o be_v victorious_a when_o they_o have_v once_o take_v root_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n upon_o which_o only_o depend_v both_o their_o tongue_n and_o arm_n which_o be_v the_o only_a instrument_n of_o attain_v dominion_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o julius_n caesar_n when_o any_o be_v create_v consul_n if_o the_o pontifex_n maximus_n come_v and_o say_v they_o be_v

again_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o christendom_n will_v join_v their_o whole_a strength_n together_o and_o will_v in_o a_o very_a little_a time_n root_v he_o out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n of_o naples_n milan_n and_o consequent_o also_o of_o the_o new_a world_n &_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o dominion_n and_o although_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v to_o henry_n the_o

thereunto_o through_o zeal_n to_o religion_n as_o the_o countess_n matilda_n do_v against_o the_o emperor_n henry_n or_o else_o out_o of_o emulation_n or_o some_o interest_n of_o faction_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o venetian_n make_v war_n upon_o the_o emperor_n frederick_n who_o they_o compel_v to_o kiss_v the_o pope_n foot_n or_o for_o both_o these_o reason_n as_o when_o king_n

that_o whensoever_o the_o pope_n have_v excommunicate_v any_o prince_n he_o do_v at_o the_o same_o instant_n ruin_v he_o also_o do_v but_o observe_v i_o pray_v you_o to_o what_o state_n ferraria_n be_v reduce_v at_o this_o day_n but_o we_o have_v discourse_v more_o copious_o of_o this_o in_o the_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n it_o be_v last_o against_o all_o policy_n too_o for_o the_o pope_n withhold_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o christendom_n from_o invade_v spain_n as_o he_o do_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n from_o invade_v they_o by_o continual_o compose_v their_o difference_n in_o like_a manner_n as_o he_o divide_v india_n betwixt_o the_o portugal_n and_o the_o spaniard_n and_o thus_o have_v several_a time_n make_v peace_n betwixt_o the_o spaniard_n and_o the_o french_a

religion_n for_o here_o in_o these_o case_n they_o have_v a_o eye_n as_o well_o to_o the_o force_n of_o arm_n as_o to_o religion_n for_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_a cause_n may_v just_o suspect_v the_o pope_n join_v of_o his_o strength_n to_o that_o of_o his_o antagonist_n and_o so_o for_o this_o reason_n he_o will_v the_o more_o ready_o obey_v the_o pope_n injunction_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v former_o in_o the_o forementioned_a treatise_n and_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n if_o he_o but_o declare_v himself_o for_o and_o stand_v up_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o pope_n shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v always_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o force_n at_o his_o devotion_n at_o any_o time_n which_o will_v be_v a_o good_a mean_n of_o confirm_v his_o kingdom_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v it_o very_o necessary_a according_a to_o the_o fate_n of_o christendom_n that_o if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n will_v arrive_v to_o a_o universal_a monarchy_n he_o must_v declare_v himself_o public_o to_o have_v his_o dependence_n from_o the_o pope_n and_o command_v it_o to_o be_v publish_v all_o abroad_o throughout_o the_o world_n that_o himself_o be_v the_o cyrus_n that_o be_v before_o typify_v and_o the_o catholic_n king_n that_o be_v the_o universal_a monarch_n of_o the_o world_n declare_v this_o his_o monarchy_n by_o his_o religious_a counsel_n and_o pious_a action_n and_o pass_v also_o by_o many_o litigious_a controversy_n which_o he_o have_v with_o the_o pope_n and_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o sem_fw-mi make_v it_o appear_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a defender_n of_o christian_a religion_n that_o depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n call_v together_o also_o the_o christian_a prince_n to_o consult_v about_o the_o recovery_n of_o those_o country_n they_o have_v lose_v and_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o heretic_n and_o turk_n and_o he_o must_v proceed_v to_o the_o cause_v of_o such_o to_o be_v excommunicate_v as_o shall_v deny_v their_o assistance_n herein_o and_o last_o he_o must_v also_o take_v care_n that_o pious_a and_o diligent_a preacher_n be_v send_v abroad_o into_o the_o world_n to_o promote_v this_o business_n for_o the_o plain_a truth_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o pope_n pick_v quarrel_n sometime_o with_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o only_o because_o he_o be_v afraid_a that_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v subdue_v the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n he_o will_v then_o make_v he_o only_o as_o his_o

the_o western_a empire_n against_o the_o eastern_a only_o because_o they_o have_v forsake_v their_o former_a religion_n &_o have_v have_v many_o clashing_n with_o the_o pope_n about_o it._n but_o
