nobleman_n as_o from_o have_v too_o many_o rich_a one_o beside_o the_o envy_n and_o jealousy_n that_o must_v be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o who_o shall_v find_v themselves_o naked_a and_o

to_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o great_a one_o for_o have_v misbehave_v themselves_o in_o their_o government_n indeed_o i_o can_v think_v it_o prudent_a to_o proceed_v against_o they_o something_o cold_o unless_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o very_o great_a enormity_n such_o as_o scandalize_v the_o generality_n of_o your_o subject_n for_o then_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o show_v a_o public_a

with_o deformity_n of_o the_o whole_a here_o i_o foresee_v i_o shall_v be_v censure_v by_o some_o as_o a_o bad_a pilot_n who_o endeavour_v to_o shun_v scylla_n run_v upon_o carybdis_n that_o be_v

the_o emperor_n be_v partial_a for_o spain_n if_o their_o interest_n do_v not_o concur_v they_o will_v hinder_v he_o from_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o any_o hope_n or_o promise_n but_o this_o will_v
