the_o great_a care_n of_o those_o that_o have_v advise_v the_o king_n to_o this_o league_n have_v be_v to_o keep_v from_o the_o view_n and_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o world_n what_o

be_v never_o so_o little_a conversant_a at_o court_n may_v remember_v that_o one_o of_o the_o great_a argument_n use_v and_o suggest_v by_o the_o french_a to_o make_v the_o conquest_n of_o holland_n appear_v both_o safe_a and_o easy_a be_v that_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n have_v assurance_n from_o all_o the_o great_a prince_n in_o europe_n they_o will_v not_o way_n concern_v themselves_o in_o the_o quarrel_n spain_n will_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v their_o old_a rebel_n chastise_v the_o emperor_n have_v his_o hand_n full_a and_o dare_v not_o stir_v if_o he_o will_v for_o fear_n of_o
