when_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o work_n be_v reprint_v in_o english_a with_o large_a addition_n never_o before_o publish_a in_o any_o language_n i_o can_v not_o doubt_v the_o welcome_n that_o the_o production_n of_o his_o pen_n will_v find_v from_o those_o that_o give_v all_o his_o former_a piece_n so_o just_a and_o so_o kind_a a_o reception_n a_o more_o particular_a account_n perhaps_o may_v be_v expect_v of_o monsieur_n herard_n who_o plead_n make_v up_o the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o book_n but_o beside_o that_o i_o know_v nothing_o of_o he_o more_o than_o i_o can_v collect_v from_o his_o own_o plead_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o reader_n to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o advocate_n retain_v by_o the_o duke_n and_o have_v no_o other_o interest_n in_o the_o cause_n than_o his_o fee_n or_o his_o reputation_n as_o a_o pleader_n at_o most_o nor_o will_v the_o violence_n of_o his_o declamation_n his_o hard_a insinuation_n and_o gross_a reflection_n upon_o the_o

a_o wind_n there_o sure_a than_o in_o lapland_n as_o for_o his_o performance_n scarce_o any_o thing_n of_o antiquity_n be_v more_o artificial_a his_o charge_n be_v amplify_v and_o exaggerated_a with_o the_o vehemence_n and_o boldness_n of_o demosthenes_n and_o his_o suggestion_n insinuate_v with_o the_o art_n and_o address_v of_o tully_n i_o do_v pretend_v to_o equal_v he_o to_o either_o of_o those_o matchless_a orator_n who_o he_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o fall_v very_o far_o short_a of_o in_o their_o several_a way_n and_o yet_o excel_v but_o i_o may_v venture_v to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v not_o unsuccessful_o copy_v the_o manner_n and_o grace_n of_o they_o both_o at_o least_o as_o far_o as_o the_o modern_a way_n of_o plead_v and_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o french_a nation_n

our_o side_n that_o be_v that_o all_o their_o plead_n as_o appear_v by_o these_o be_v study_v labour_a discourse_n compile_v at_o leisure_n and_o speak_v without_o interruption_n which_o must_v

and_o argue_v the_o case_n exit_fw-la tempore_fw-la this_o method_n though_o it_o may_v spoil_v the_o eloquence_n of_o our_o plead_n prevent_v the_o puzzle_v of_o the_o cause_n by_o the_o intricacy_n which_o the_o false_a colour_n of_o a_o study_a harangue_n may_v introduce_v one_o thing_n more_o i_o ought_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o which_o may_v seem_v to_o require_v a_o apology_n which_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v by_o this_o version_n promote_v the_o spread_a of_o these_o plead_n which_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n so_o many_o libel_n not_o only_o upon_o madam_n mazarin_n but_o upon_o our_o

not_o justify_v such_o a_o liberty_n i_o can_v not_o discover_v any_o reason_n so_o to_o do_v for_o when_o we_o consider_v out_o of_o what_o mouth_n these_o opprobrious_a speech_n come_v a_o mercenary_a french_a advocate_n be_v a_o profess_a enemy_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o nation_n in_o general_n and_o our_o king_n in_o particular_a with_o who_o his_o master_n be_v then_o at_o war_n and_o who_o alone_o give_v a_o check_n to_o his_o ambition_n while_o they_o have_v among_o they_o another_o prince_n who_o pretension_n upon_o our_o crown_n they_o use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n by_o arm_n to_o enforce_v upon_o we_o what_o he_o have_v say_v no_o more_o affect_v the_o king_n or_o nation_n than_o the_o yelp_a of_o senseless_a cur_n do_v the_o moon_n or_o the_o old_a woman_n tit_n for_o that_fw-mi the_o thunder_n which_o she_o fart_v against_o but_o for_o another_o reason_n those_o passage_n can_v not_o be_v omit_v because_o they_o show_v the_o true_a spirit_n and_o
