to_o believe_v that_o i_o have_v not_o so_o much_o of_o the_o author_n common_a quality_n and_o which_o we_o see_v so_o general_o use_v in_o all_o dedication_n that_o i_o do_v pretend_v to_o flatter_v

which_o your_o uncommon_a modesty_n and_o admire_v humility_n i_o be_o sure_a will_v discourage_v in_o we_o if_o we_o can_v the_o panegyrical_a part_n then_o of_o a_o dedication_n which_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v for_o fear_v to_o think_v reasonable_a here_o because_o i_o know_v it_o will_v be_v just_a in_o a_o manner_n quite_o lay_v aside_o for_o what_o can_v i_o say_v in_o your_o praise_n that_o our_o little_a world_n here_o do_v not_o already_o know_v your_o early_a courage_n and_o bravery_n of_o soul_n have_v make_v its_o course_n like_o the_o sun_n and_o in_o relation_n to_o europe_n have_v almost_o extend_v itself_o as_o far_o especial_o where_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v get_v or_o any_o glorious_a action_n be_v go_v forward_o and_o as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o person_n to_o give_v a_o better_a account_n of_o the_o sieges_n of_o vienna_n or_o buda_n then_o yourself_o you_o omit_v no_o enterprise_n that_o can_v either_o signalise_v your_o courage_n or_o satisfy_v your_o curiosity_n so_o it_o be_v as_o obvious_a to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o great_a leopaldus_n by_o the_o glorious_a spread_v eagle_n so_o royal_o bestow_v and_o noble_o add_v to_o your_o household_n coat_n sufficient_o give_v a_o testimony_n that_o nothing_o but_o extraordinary_a worth_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o gain_v such_o a_o honour_n this_o my_o lord_n

your_o generous_a encouragement_n and_o protection_n as_o your_o country_n be_v for_o loyalty_n love_n and_o resolution_n to_o be_v patron_n both_o of_o art_n and_o arm_n be_v a_o title_n my_o lord_n worthy_a of_o you_o and_o which_o the_o action_n of_o your_o life_n daily_o demonstrate_v that_o you_o will_v more_o and_o more_o deserve_v for_o whilst_o the_o son_n of_o mars_n admire_v your_o

deserve_v to_o have_v a_o subscription_n there_o and_o as_o i_o can_v my_o noble_a lord_n but_o think_v it_o very_o reasonable_a for_o extraordinary_a person_n to_o be_v reward_v with_o blessing_n
