To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This gentleman of Valois sticksin your stomachs; and, though I do not defend his proceedings in theStates, any otherwise than by the inevitable necessity which causedthem, yet acknowledging his crime does not extenuate their guilt thatforced him to it. It was bad on both sides, but the revenge was not sowicked as the treason; for it was a voluntary act of theirs, and acompelled one of his. The short on't is, he took a violent course tocut up the Covenant by the roots; and there is your quarrel ...to him.
Now for a long-winded panegyric of the king of Navarre; and here I amsure they are in earnest, when they take such overpains to prove thereis no likeness where they say I intended it. The hero, at whom theirmalice is levelled, does but laugh at it, I believe; and, amongst theother virtues of that predecessor, wants neither his justice nor hisclemency, to forgive all the heads of the League, as fast as theysubmit. As for obliging them, (which our author would fain hook in foran ingredient) let them be satisfied, that no more enemies are to bebought off with places and preferments; the trial which has been madein two kings reigns, will warn the family from so fruitless anddangerous an expedient.
