france_n yet_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o perhaps_o not_o so_o foreign_a as_o some_o may_v imagine_v since_o i_o therefore_o call_v again_o to_o mind_v the_o idea_n of_o so_o many_o treason_n and_o perfidy_n and_o indeed_o though_o there_o be_v no_o say_n that_o the_o french_a nation_n want_v courage_n yet_o one_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v very_o willing_a to_o join_v cunning_a to_o strength_n without_o which_o we_o shall_v not_o see_v it_o so_o successful_a in_o all_o its_o erterprise_n but_o let_v we_o add_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o what_o make_v it_o still_o succeed_v the_o better_a be_v that_o money_n cost_v it_o nothing_o to_o attain_v to_o its_o design_n for_o pass_v at_o one_o leap_n from_o war_n to_o peace_n let_v we_o examine_v i_o beseech_v you_o what_o course_n it_o have_v take_v to_o separate_v all_o the_o ally_n and_o whether_o this_o metal_n have_v not_o be_v of_o more_o use_n to_o it_o for_o that_o purpose_n than_o all_o the_o rhetoric_n of_o its_o minister_n one_o of_o the_o great_a obstacle_n to_o the_o peace_n be_v the_o difficulty_n of_o reconcile_a the_o interest_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o sweden_n with_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o prince_n who_o have_v some_o thing_n to_o clear_a and_o determine_v with_o it_o as_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o sweden_n all_o its_o interest_n be_v that_o as_o it_o have_v be_v engage_v in_o the_o war_n upon_o no_o other_o account_n than_o for_o the_o service_n of_o france_n france_n shall_v cause_v all_o the_o place_n to_o be_v restore_v it_o which_o have_v be_v take_v from_o it_o either_o by_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n or_o the_o elector_n of_o brandenbourg_n or_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o house_n of_o brunswick_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o these_o three_o power_n be_v on_o the_o contrary_a not_o to_o hear_v any_o talk_n of_o the_o peace_n until_o all_o their_o conquest_n be_v abandon_v to_o they_o or_o at_o least_o the_o great_a part_n thus_o the_o difficulty_n be_v to_o reconcile_v such_o opposite_a interest_n but_o see_v now_o how_o this_o affair_n be_v bring_v about_o and_o which_o make_v it_o no_o long_o appear_v so_o impossible_a as_o a_o entertainment_n that_o be_v give_v one_o day_n at_o the_o house_n of_o one_o of_o the_o three_o minister_n of_o france_n be_v the_o same_o who_o have_v the_o secret_a of_o the_o court._n among_o other_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o dish_n of_o olive_n and_o one_o of_o the_o minister_n of_o sweden_n have_v find_v they_o extraordinary_a good_a the_o minister_n of_o france_n promise_v to_o send_v he_o a_o barrel_n of_o they_o and_o according_o send_v he_o a_o barrel_n by_o his_o secretary_n the_o minister_n of_o sweden_n very_o much_o surprise_v to_o see_v that_o the_o secretary_n of_o a_o embassy_n shall_v be_v the_o bearer_n of_o such_o a_o business_n but_o make_v no_o other_o reflection_n on_o it_o at_o first_o he_o take_v the_o barrel_n into_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o find_v it_o extreme_a heavy_a he_o ask_v he_o the_o reason_n the_o secretary_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o will_v find_v when_o he_o open_v it_o but_o that_o the_o ambassador_n of_o france_n desire_v that_o he_o will_v open_v it_o himself_o the_o minister_n of_o sweden_n begin_v to_o smell_v out_o then_o the_o meaning_n and_o have_v dismiss_v the_o secretary_n he_o break_v open_v the_o barrel_n and_o find_v it_o to_o be_v full_a of_o lewis_n of_o gold_n among_o which_o he_o find_v a_o letter_n wherein_o be_v these_o word_n if_o you_o expect_v we_o shall_v often_o give_v you_o olive_n you_o must_v grant_v we_o the_o peace_n perhaps_o now_o may_v i_o be_v ask_v how_o it_o come_v that_o i_o shall_v get_v the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o thing_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v keep_v very_o secret_a both_o by_o the_o minister_n of_o france_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o sweden_n but_o to_o that_o i_o will_v answer_v how_o do_v so_o many_o thing_n which_o pass_v in_o the_o cabinet_n become_v common_a how_o come_v we_o to_o know_v of_o so_o many_o erterprise_n before_o they_o be_v put_v into_o execution_n moreover_o i_o must_v say_v that_o france_n afterward_o fall_v at_o variance_n with_o sweden_n do_v not_o much_o care_n though_o a_o secret_a be_v divulge_v which_o be_v no_o long_o of_o any_o moment_n to_o it_o nay_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o take_v delight_n in_o sow_v by_o that_o mean_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o prime_a man_n of_o sweden_n where_o this_o business_n be_v now_o so_o much_o the_o subject_n of_o common_a discourse_n that_o they_o attribute_v to_o it_o the_o rapture_n of_o the_o two_o crown_n and_o indeed_o though_o the_o homage_n which_o france_n demand_v for_o the_o duchy_n of_o deux_fw-fr pont_n of_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v very_o sensible_a to_o that_o young_a prince_n yet_o wise_a man_n believe_v it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a cause_n for_o a_o breach_n if_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n heart_n have_v not_o be_v ulcerate_v with_o the_o disadvantageous_a peace_n which_o france_n have_v bring_v it_o to_o make_v and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a to_o say_v here_o something_o of_o this_o matter_n so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o that_o during_o all_o the_o time_n i_o stay_v at_o paris_n i_o see_v few_o french_a but_o do_v maintain_v that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n lie_v under_o a_o great_a obligation_n to_o france_n in_o that_o it_o will_v not_o listen_v to_o any_o treaty_n of_o peace_n until_o all_o have_v be_v first_o restore_v it_o that_o have_v be_v conquer_a from_o it_o but_o they_o know_v not_o that_o sweden_n have_v be_v force_v to_o yield_v up_o the_o land_n in_o pomerania_n to_o the_o elector_n of_o brandenbourg_n land_n in_o the_o duchy_n of_o bremen_n to_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n and_o last_o land_n in_o the_o bishopric_n of_o verden_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o house_n of_o brunswick_n but_o since_o i_o be_o here_o upon_o sweden_n i_o mean_v to_o tell_v after_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v strip_v of_o the_o duchy_n of_o deux-ponts_n and_o under_o what_o pretext_n the_o last_o duke_n be_v still_o full_a of_o life_n nay_o and_o in_o good_a health_n when_o france_n perceive_v this_o country_n lie_v for_o its_o convenience_n project_v that_o as_o it_o have_v not_o yet_o bethink_v itself_o of_o its_o right_n of_o dependency_n under_o which_o colour_n it_o seize_v on_o so_o many_o land_n to_o seize_v on_o this_o now_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o last_o duke_n have_v no_o child_n the_o duchy_n fall_v after_o his_o death_n to_o the_o house_n of_o sweden_n and_o not_o to_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n positive_o because_o that_o duke_n adolphus_n pretend_v to_o exclude_v he_o as_o be_v near_o by_o one_o degree_n to_o he_o who_o possess_v it_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n on_o the_o contrary_a pretend_a that_o the_o duchy_n will_v one_o day_n belong_v to_o he_o as_o be_v son_n of_o the_o elder_a wherein_o there_o be_v great_a probability_n for_o though_o in_o many_o place_n of_o germany_n they_o have_v establish_v that_o the_o near_a to_o the_o dead_a succeed_v in_o his_o estate_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o use_n be_v contrary_a in_o the_o electoral_a house_n and_o principal_o in_o the_o palatine_a house_n which_o be_v the_o family_n now_o in_o issue_n be_v it_o as_o it_o will_v the_o french_a king_n have_v a_o itch_n to_o make_v the_o latin_a proverb_n good_a which_o say_v that_o between_o two_o person_n that_o dispute_v for_o a_o succession_n there_o come_v a_o three_o which_o ravish_v it_o away_o from_o they_o both_o send_v troop_n to_o seize_v on_o the_o duchy_n of_o deux-ponts_n yet_o under_o pretext_n of_o keep_v it_o for_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n in_o favour_n of_o who_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o decide_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o duke_n adolphus_n the_o duke_n of_o deux_fw-fr pont_n who_o be_v still_o alive_a as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v not_o surprise_v to_o hear_v that_o the_o french_a troop_n enter_v into_o his_o country_n because_o he_o be_v often_o expose_v to_o their_o violence_n but_o he_o be_v strange_o amaze_v when_o he_o know_v they_o come_v to_o gather_v his_o succession_n of_o he_o i_o say_v who_o be_v still_o full_a of_o life_n nay_o and_o have_v not_o yet_o the_o least_o mind_n to_o die_v so_o soon_o mean_o while_o the_o troop_n be_v enter_v into_o the_o place_n of_o his_o residence_n
