as_o the_o present_a innocent_a 11._o be_v viz._n lay_v we_o aside_o condemn_v many_o of_o our_o proposition_n and_o sodality_n prayer_n to_o the_o virgin_n mary_n yet_o we_o keep_v fair_a still_o as_o to_o the_o exterior_n but_o underhand_o we_o cut_v he_o out_o work_n enough_o for_o at_o this_o time_n we_o have_v set_v one_o of_o the_o most_o powerful_a of_o all_o our_o king_n upon_o his_o

all_o our_o brother_n jesuit_n out_o of_o france_n remonstrate_v daily_o how_o they_o be_v concern_v to_o see_v their_o french_a brethren_n violate_v their_o most_o sacred_a four_o vow_n by_o adhere_v

of_o a_o few_o that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o stand_v by_o his_o holiness_n with_o all_o their_o power_n and_o interest_n with_o other_o prince_n that_o the_o jesuit_n of_o france_n as_o well_o as_o

his_o holiness_n from_o day_n to_o day_n till_o he_o have_v spin_v out_o the_o thread_n of_o his_o short_a life_n then_o shall_v the_o jesuit_n of_o france_n club_n again_o their_o interest_n with_o all_o their_o foreign_a brethren_n and_o bring_v along_o with_o they_o their_o powerful_a french_a king_n to_o set_v up_o another_o pope_n who_o under_o pretence_n of_o the_o french_a faction_n
