conversation_n of_o very_a pretty_a maid_n that_o be_v his_o fellow-servant_n which_o make_v he_o very_o well_o digest_v the_o name_n of_o be_v a_o servant_n eng._n gent._n this_o be_v the_o very_a

as_o be_v say_v before_o in_o any_o kind_n upon_o the_o great_a lord_n who_o stand_v interest_n be_v at_o court_n and_o so_o can_v in_o a_o change_n be_v by_o they_o carry_v over_o to_o advance_v

this_o will_v never_o be_v draw_v into_o a_o example_n hereafter_o now_o the_o property_n remain_v the_o same_o the_o government_n do_v so_o too_o and_o the_o king_n be_v domestic_a government_n over_o his_o natural_a spaniard_n be_v very_o gentle_a whatever_o it_o be_v in_o his_o conquer_a province_n and_o the_o king_n there_o have_v very_o great_a advantage_n of_o keep_v their_o great_a

every_o three_o year_n go_v in_o a_o age_n through_o all_o the_o grandee_n which_o be_v not_o very_o numerous_a beside_o castille_n have_v be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n roderigo_n overrun_v and_o

this_o alcaval_a or_o excise_n be_v a_o very_a great_a revenue_n and_o so_o prevent_v for_o some_o time_n the_o necessity_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o make_v the_o prince_n have_v the_o less_o need_n of_o ask_v relief_n of_o his_o people_n the_o ordinary_a cause_n of_o disgust_n so_o that_o the_o cortes_n or_o assembly_n of_o the_o state_n have_v have_v little_a to_o do_v of_o late_a though_o they_o be_v due_o assemble_v every_o year_n but_o seldom_o contradict_v what_o be_v desire_v by_o the_o prince_n for_o there_o be_v no_o great_a idolater_n of_o their_o monarch_n in_o the_o world_n than_o the_o castilian_n be_v nor_o who_o drink_n deep_a of_o the_o cup_n of_o loyalty_n so_o that_o in_o short_a the_o government_n in_o spain_n be_v as_o we_o be_v in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n
