the_o english_a the_o affluence_n of_o their_o fortune_n and_o easiness_n in_o their_o private_a affair_n be_v evident_o great_a than_o those_o of_o other_o people_n of_o europe_n etc._n etc._n and_o

i_o appeal_v to_o all_o in_o this_o case_n who_o have_v make_v any_o observation_n in_o their_o travel_n especial_o in_o france_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o can_v affirm_v it_o upon_o my_o own_o

a_o enquiry_n as_o possible_o i_o can_v about_o the_o number_n of_o foreigner_n in_o paris_n beside_o those_o in_o the_o country_n where_o i_o be_v inform_v by_o such_o as_o in_o all_o probability_n be_v the_o most_o likely_a to_o give_v a_o true_a judgement_n of_o this_o matter_n that_o they_o do_v esteem_v the_o number_n of_o foreigner_n there_o to_o amount_v of_o late_a year_n to_o betwixt_o sixteen_o and_o twenty_o thousand_o whereof_o one_o half_a be_v suppose_v to_o be_v german_n i_o have_v often_o afterward_o hear_v the_o same_o confirm_v since_o by_o such_o as_o come_v from_o

must_v either_o conclude_v that_o all_o those_o be_v either_o prince_n or_o man_n of_o the_o first_o quality_n or_o that_o he_o have_v his_o supposition_n that_o few_o of_o the_o middling_a sort_n
