will_v have_v be_v displease_v and_o dissatisfy_v have_v he_o be_v a_o french_a man._n but_o these_o reason_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v not_o much_o sway_n your_o majesty_n as_o for_o the_o first_o if_o cardinal_n mazarin_n know_v affair_n abroad_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o those_o at_o home_n which_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v as_o those_o that_o be_v foreign_a and_o indeed_o the_o inconvenience_n be_v visible_a see_v that_o which_o come_v near_a the_o heart_n be_v of_o much_o great_a consequence_n than_o that_o which_o lie_v remote_a from_o it_o beside_o the_o knowledge_n of_o foreign_a affair_n be_v not_o so_o very_o difficult_a to_o be_v acquire_v the_o situation_n and_o the_o state_n of_o country_n be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o and_o by_o that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o regulate_v himself_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v not_o better_o but_o the_o contrary_a for_o there_o be_v a_o hundred_o thing_n to_o be_v object_v against_o it_o a_o stranger_n have_v as_o great_a a_o desire_n as_o any_o other_o person_n to_o enrich_v his_o kindred_n in_o what_o place_n soever_o they_o be_v beside_o he_o can_v send_v for_o they_o when_o he_o find_v himself_o well_o settle_v three_o of_o his_o nephew_n and_o seven_o neices_n who_o come_v quick_o into_o france_n be_v a_o undeniable_a testimony_n of_o this_o truth_n and_o a_o minister_n

the_o choice_n be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o foreigner_n and_o not_o certain_a how_o long_o he_o shall_v keep_v his_o post_n will_v be_v every_o day_n transmit_v into_o his_o own_o country_n that_o which_o may_v plentiful_o maintain_v he_o in_o case_n he_o fall_v into_o disgrace_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o a_o stranger_n can_v be_v so_o well_o affect_v to_o france_n as_o one_o that_o suck_v in_o the_o love_n of_o his_o country_n with_o his_o mother_n milk_n to_o which_o i_o will_v add_v that_o see_v he_o be_v not_o marry_v nor_o in_o a_o condition_n ever_o to_o be_v so_o he_o can_v not_o look_v upon_o france_n as_o a_o country_n wherein_o he_o himself_o or_o his_o posterity_n can_v ever_o hope_v to_o be_v settle_v the_o three_o reason_n be_v much_o weak_a than_o the_o other_o two_o which_o be_v that_o when_o in_o so_o great_a a_o kingdom_n as_o your_o majesty_n people_n of_o very_a great_a quality_n and_o merit_n see_v the_o ministry_n put_v into_o

to_o give_v he_o his_o due_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o believe_v the_o queen_n your_o mother_n have_v some_o other_o reason_n than_o those_o allege_v for_o her_o choice_n perhaps_o it_o be_v because_o other_o pretender_n do_v not_o make_v use_n of_o her_o interest_n to_o obtain_v the_o place_n and_o consequent_o foresee_v they_o will_v not_o thank_v she_o she_o for_o that_o reason_n
