of_o his_o son-in_a law_n that_o he_o have_v no_o way_n fore-practised_n that_o election_n for_o the_o second_o point_n of_o neutrality_n the_o ambassador_n say_v that_o his_o majesty_n have_v not_o

his_o master_n in_o not_o have_v settle_v any_o firm_a judgement_n touch_v the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n upon_o information_n from_o that_o side_n wherein_o his_o majesty_n be_v most_o interest_v
