present_a at_o the_o divertisement_n of_o these_o two_o great_a prince_n and_o in_o familiar_a conversation_n one_o may_v best_o discover_v a_o man_n and_o know_v his_o way_n i_o know_v again_o with_o

of_o god_n before_o who_o we_o go_v to_o appear_v and_o though_o rome_n shall_v grant_v thing_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o i_o believe_v it_o do_v not_o be_v it_o credible_a he_o will_v confide_v

to_o the_o religion_n of_o this_o prince_n be_v that_o while_o he_o be_v at_o paris_n he_o frequent_v not_o the_o sermon_n if_o they_o can_v say_v while_o he_o be_v there_o he_o make_v no_o
