myself_o in_o a_o place_n where_o i_o have_v little_a to_o do_v but_o to_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o well_o know_v that_o the_o character_n of_o a_o stranger_n give_v i_o free_a admittance_n to_o man_n

and_o welcome_a to_o they_o but_o why_o do_v you_o trouble_v we_o with_o a_o journey_n to_o paris_n a_o place_n so_o well_o know_v to_o every_o body_n here_o for_o very_o good_a reason_n to_o spare_v the_o often_o tell_v my_o tale_n at_o my_o return_n but_o we_o know_v already_o all_o you_o can_v say_v or_o can_v read_v it_o in_o the_o present_a state_n of_o france_n and_o description_n of_o paris_n two_o book_n to_o be_v have_v in_o every_o shop_n in_o london_n it_o be_v right_a so_o you_o may_v and_o i_o advise_v you_o not_o to_o neglect_v they_o if_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o judge_v well_o of_o the_o grandeur_n of_o the_o court_n of_o france_n and_o the_o immense_a greatness_n of_o the_o city_n of_o paris_n these_o be_v spectacle_n i_o do_v indeed_o put_v on_o but_o i_o find_v they_o do_v not_o fit_v my_o sight_n i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o see_v without_o they_o and_o in_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n as_o vast_a city_n and_o vast_a palace_n i_o do_v not_o care_n much_o to_o use_v microscope_n or_o magnify_v glass_n but_o to_o content_v you_o reader_n i_o promise_v you_o not_o to_o trouble_v you_o with_o ceremony_n either_o of_o state_n or_o church_n or_o politic_n for_o i_o enter_v willing_o into_o neither_o of_o they_o but_o only_o where_o they_o will_v make_v a_o part_n of_o the_o conversation_n or_o my_o walk_n be_v order_v i_o you_o will_v easy_o find_v by_o my_o observation_n that_o i_o incline_v rather_o to_o nature_n than_o dominion_n and_o that_o i_o take_v more_o pleasure_n to_o see_v mounseur_fw-fr breman_n in_o his_o white_a waistcoat_n dig_v in_o the_o royal_a physic_n garden_n and_o sow_v his_o couch_n than_o mounseur_fw-fr saintot_n make_v room_n for_o a_o ambassador_n and_o i_o find_v myself_o better_a dispose_v and_o more_o apt_a to_o learn_v the_o name_n and_o physiognomy_n of_o a_o hundred_o plant_n than_o of_o 5_o or_o 6_o prince_n after_o all_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o have_v walk_v a_o 100_o pace_n under_o the_o mean_a hedge_n in_o languedoc_n than_o any_o the_o fine_a alley_n at_o versailles_n or_o st._n clou_n so_o much_o i_o prefer_v fair_a nature_n and_o a_o warm_a sun_n before_o the_o most_o exquisite_a performance_n of_o art_n in_o a_o cold_a and_o barren_a climate_n another_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v you_o little_a or_o no_o trouble_n in_o tell_v you_o court_n matter_n be_v that_o i_o be_v no_o more_o concern_v in_o the_o embassy_n than_o in_o the_o sail_v of_o the_o ship_n which_o carry_v i_o over_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o i_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n to_o feel_v the_o good_a effect_n of_o it_o and_o to_o pass_v away_o this_o life_n in_o peace_n and_o quietness_n it_o be_v a_o happy_a turn_n for_o we_o when_o king_n be_v make_v friend_n again_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o this_o embassy_n and_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v last_v our_o day_n my_o lord_n ambassador_n be_v infinite_o caress_v by_o the_o king_n his_o minister_n and_o all_o the_o prince_n it_o be_v certain_a the_o french_a be_v the_o most_o polite_a nation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o can_v praise_n and_o court_n with_o a_o better_a air_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n however_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v through_o great_a necessity_n well_o dispose_v to_o receive_v the_o peace_n the_o bigot_n and_o some_o disband_v officer_n may_v be_v hear_v at_o our_o first_o go_v to_o grumble_v but_o those_o also_o give_v over_o and_o we_o hear_v no_o more_o of_o they_o when_o we_o come_v away_o but_o to_o the_o business_n i_o happy_o arrive_v at_o paris_n after_o a_o tedious_a journey_n in_o very_o bad_a wether_n for_o we_o set_v out_o of_o london_n the_o 10_o of_o december_n and_o i_o do_v not_o reach_v paris_n till_o the_o first_o of_o january_n for_o i_o fall_v sick_a upon_o the_o road_n and_o stay_v 5_o day_n at_o bologne_n behind_o the_o company_n till_o my_o fever_n abate_v yet_o notwithstanding_o so_o rude_a a_o journey_n i_o recover_v and_o be_v perfect_o cure_v of_o my_o cough_n in_o 10_o day_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o my_o leave_v london_n at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o never_o have_v the_o least_o return_n of_o it_o all_o the_o winter_n though_o it_o be_v as_o fierce_a there_o as_o i_o ever_o feel_v it_o in_o england_n this_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o french_a air_n i_o have_v experience_v 3_o several_a time_n before_o and_o have_v therefore_o long_v for_o a_o passage_n many_o year_n but_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o war_n be_v a_o insuperable_a obstacle_n to_o my_o desire_n therefore_o the_o first_o opportunity_n which_o offer_v itself_o i_o ready_o embrace_v which_o be_v my_o lord_n portland_n acceptance_n of_o my_o attendance_n of_o he_o in_o his_o extraordinary_a embassy_n who_o

in_o what_o i_o see_v at_o paris_n i_o set_v down_o my_o thought_n under_o certain_a head_n i._o of_o paris_n in_o general_n though_o i_o have_v much_o spare_a time_n the_o 6_o month_n i_o stay_v in_o that_o city_n yet_o the_o rudeness_n of_o the_o winter_n season_n keep_v i_o in_o for_o some_o time_n again_o i_o believe_v i_o do_v not_o see_v the_o tithe_n of_o what_o deserve_v to_o be_v see_v
