they_o have_v once_o prevail_v upon_o another_o state_n to_o treat_v a_o alliance_n with_o they_o upon_o term_n and_o form_n and_o expression_n favourable_a advantageous_a and_o honourable_a to_o their_o own_o party_n never_o to_o change_v any_o thing_n of_o they_o in_o the_o follow_a treaty_n or_o alliance_n with_o the_o same_o unless_o there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a change_n make_v also_o

now_o over_o lewis_n the_o xivth_o as_o she_o have_v over_o francis_n the_o it_v when_o he_o take_v this_o oath_n 2._o francis_n the_o it_v be_v certain_o as_o appear_v by_o his_o history_n far_o less_o ambitious_a and_o a_o better_a and_o great_a man_n in_o all_o respect_n than_o lewis_n the_o xivth_o ever_o be_v 3._o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o horrid_a engagement_n between_o they_o against_o the_o christian_n since_o we_o see_v every_o year_n what_o effort_n the_o french_a king_n make_v against_o germany_n in_o the_o turk_n behalf_n and_o that_o the_o turk_n persist_v in_o continue_v this_o war_n so_o extreme_o ruinous_a to_o they_o against_o their_o custom_n but_o however_o it_o be_v it_o can_v be_v easy_o prove_v he_o have_v do_v much_o worse_o in_o that_o respect_n than_o his_o predecessor_n engage_v to_o do_v so_o that_o we_o can_v do_v he_o any_o injury_n in_o think_v he_o have_v take_v the_o same_o oath_n or_o a_o worse_a one_o
if_o possible_a for_o suppose_v lewis_n the_o xivth_o have_v not_o take_v the_o same_o oath_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o he_o be_v more_o guilty_a for_o have_v do_v without_o oath_n what_o francis_n the_o it_v have_v engage_v by_o oath_n to_o do_v but_o do_v not_o actual_o perform_v it_o this_o take_v that_o oath_n transport_v with_o a_o great_a passion_n against_o charles_n the_o vth_o emperor_n but_o the_o other_o do_v it_o in_o cold_a blood_n and_o we_o do_v not_o see_v by_o francis_n his_o history_n he_o have_v do_v any_o great_a mischief_n to_o christian_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o turk_n comparable_a to_o what_o lewis_n the_o xivth_o have_v do_v it_o be_v worse_a ten_o time_n to_o commit_v a_o crime_n without_o threaten_v than_o to_o threaten_v without_o commit_v of_o

several_a alliance_n and_o treaty_n with_o most_o state_n in_o europe_n and_o with_o his_o own_o subject_n also_o and_o have_v break_v as_o many_o time_n his_o oath_n this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o
