this_o of_o the_o memoirs_fw-fr and_o find_v common_a fame_n wherever_o i_o have_v meet_v it_o agree_v so_o well_o with_o the_o picture_n these_o piece_n have_v give_v i_o of_o he_o i_o will_v own_o

of_o de_fw-fr cros_n when_o i_o find_v that_o the_o triple-corded_n malice_n of_o the_o writer_n the_o translator_n and_o the_o advertiser_n have_v not_o give_v one_o lash_n either_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o person_n or_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o book_n and_o all_o this_o put_v together_o have_v in_o very_a truth_n give_v i_o so_o much_o spite_n and_o indignation_n that_o i_o can_v not_o refrain_v enter_v on_o the_o pamphletier_n trade_n which_o i_o never_o do_v before_o nor_o ever_o think_v i_o shall_v have_v do_v at_o all_o and_o but_o for_o this_o provocation_n can_v have_v be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v to_o have_v live_v on_o without_o the_o itch_n of_o see_v how_o i_o look_v in_o print_n so_o that_o i_o may_v true_o say_v for_o this_o as_o the_o poet_n do_v for_o his_o

and_o leave_v he_o either_o no_o room_n or_o no_o memory_n for_o the_o memoirs_fw-fr he_o pretend_v to_o answer_v i_o shall_v first_o examine_v what_o he_o speak_v of_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o

who_o name_n be_v the_o cros._n upon_o this_o he_o fall_v immediate_o into_o a_o scurrilous_a chafe_v now_o one_o will_v wonder_v what_o shall_v make_v the_o man_n so_o offend_v to_o be_v call_v by_o

other_o as_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o before_o yet_o he_o reckon_v it_o a_o terrible_a one_o to_o himself_o and_o his_o family_n which_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v a_o good_a one_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o mean_v the_o de_fw-fr cros_n or_o the_o monk_n the_o first_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o never_o hear_v of_o in_o france_n but_o the_o other_o be_v indeed_o a_o great_a one_o abroad_o and_o a_o

enough_o to_o cover_v all_o his_o shame_n but_o whatever_o he_o say_v in_o the_o same_o page_n too_o malicious_a to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o here_o of_o princess_n who_o have_v quit_v the_o veil_n

believe_v man_n of_o all_o religion_n will_v agree_v in_o the_o opinion_n that_o if_o a_o monk_n leave_v his_o frock_n he_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o for_o a_o gown_n rather_o than_o for_o a_o

the_o court_n of_o sueden_n or_o credence_n at_o least_o for_o a_o certain_a petty_a agency_n in_o england_n this_o he_o say_v be_v very_o dirty_a alas_o for_o the_o cleanly_a gentleman_n one_o will_v

all_o the_o offer_v of_o this_o ambassador_n prove_v ineffectual_a and_o wrought_v nothing_o upon_o this_o man_n mean_v himself_o who_o if_o a_o man_n will_v give_v credit_n to_o sir_n w._n t._n be_v

thence_o he_o plaster_n it_o up_o with_o say_v p._n 25._o if_o the_o late_a king_n of_o england_n do_v not_o approve_v of_o my_o conduct_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o nimeguen_n which_o in_o effect_n
