i_o one_o of_o the_o junta_n as_o they_o call_v it_o of_o the_o select_a counsellor_n and_o his_o employment_n give_v i_o the_o last_o year_n as_o his_o extraordinary_a ambassador_n into_o germany_n i_o tell_v they_o i_o have_v be_v breed_v a_o soldier_n as_o their_o excellency_n have_v be_v but_o that_o i_o want_v the_o capacity_n and_o ability_n which_o they_o have_v and_o that_o for_o want_n of_o language_n not_o affect_v to_o speak_v by_o a_o interpreter_n i_o have_v forbear_v to_o wait_v on_o their_o excellency_n as_o otherwise_o i_o will_v have_v do_v to_o that_o they_o return_v the_o like_a compliment_n and_o then_o say_v their_o master_n have_v send_v a_o good_a answer_n touch_v the_o palatinate_n and_o they_o assure_v i_o that_o he_o will_v perform_v what_o he_o have_v promise_v with_o advantage_n i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o then_o hope_v all_o thing_n will_v sort_v to_o a_o good_a end_n they_o then_o ask_v i_o how_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v affect_v and_o whether_o therewith_o they_o be_v satisfy_v or_o no_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o conceive_v their_o excellency_n know_v his_o majesty_n mind_n as_o well_o as_o the_o lord_n for_o that_o they_o have_v so_o late_o audience_n of_o he_o they_o say_v it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v so_o but_o not_o a_o private_a audience_n nor_o can_v they_o obtain_v any_o though_o they_o have_v much_o desire_v the_o same_o but_o that_o other_o be_v still_o present_a i_o say_v mere_o that_o they_o be_v two_o and_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o king_n their_o master_n have_v send_v as_o able_a and_o experience_a minister_n as_o he_o have_v any_o and_o therefore_o his_o majesty_n may_v peradventure_o think_v fit_a not_o to_o hear_v they_o alone_o they_o say_v his_o majesty_n may_v alone_o hear_v a_o thousand_o minister_n of_o any_o king_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o please_v they_o well_o like_v of_o the_o prince_n be_v present_a but_o they_o say_v there_o be_v also_o other_o great_a minister_n of_o the_o king_n who_o wish_v not_o well_o to_o their_o master_n affair_n i_o say_v there_o may_v therein_o be_v a_o mistake_n or_o misunderstanding_n on_o their_o part_n for_o if_o the_o king_n their_o master_n mean_v so_o real_o as_o they_o say_v i_o conceive_v that_o no_o body_n will_v be_v willing_a to_o remove_v his_o majesty_n from_o those_o purpose_n and_o that_o good_a affection_n which_o he_o bear_v unto_o his_o dear_a brother_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n the_o marquesse_n say_v in_o english_a the_o king_n be_v a_o good_a king_n and_o the_o prince_n a_o good_a prince_n but_o some_o of_o their_o minister_n they_o doubt_v be_v ill_a willer_n to_o they_o i_o ask_v if_o great_a demonstration_n of_o reality_n can_v be_v devise_v then_o have_v be_v give_v on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n instance_v in_o the_o prince_n his_o go_n in_o person_n into_o spain_n they_o confess_v it_o but_o as_o the_o time_n now_o be_v they_o say_v ill_a office_n be_v do_v they_o i_o assure_v they_o that_o i_o neither_o know_v nor_o understand_v of_o any_o neither_o do_v i_o ever_o hear_v they_o speak_v of_o but_o with_o due_a respect_n have_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o a_o great_a king_n and_o his_o majesty_n dear_a brother_n they_o say_v their_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o the_o ill_a office_n be_v do_v to_o their_o person_n but_o to_o the_o great_a business_n which_o a_o certain_a person_n have_v show_v a_o willingness_n to_o disturb_v but_o they_o hope_v that_o the_o intend_a amity_n between_o our_o master_n will_v hold_v and_o proceed_v nevertheless_o i_o profess_v that_o i_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a neither_o understand_v i_o the_o particular_a at_o which_o they_o aim_v the_o marquesse_n swear_v as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a he_o know_v that_o the_o king_n his_o master_n do_v so_o true_o and_o real_o esteem_v his_o dear_a brother_n the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o wales_n that_o if_o they_o need_v part_n of_o his_o blood_n they_o shall_v have_v it_o for_o their_o good_a but_o he_o complain_v that_o they_o can_v not_o have_v their_o message_n deliver_v nor_o return_v from_o the_o king_n of_o late_a but_o qualify_v according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o other_o i_o say_v they_o misconceive_v it_o for_o i_o think_v they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o complain_v see_v they_o now_o have_v or_o may_v have_v as_o i_o suppose_v the_o king_n ear_n when_o they_o crave_v it_o in_o due_a and_o befit_v time_n they_o seem_v to_o deny_v it_o allege_v that_o they_o can_v not_o get_v their_o message_n and_o paper_n answer_v as_o aforetime_o i_o say_v when_o the_o prince_n be_v in_o spain_n they_o have_v free_a access_n to_o his_o majesty_n whensoever_o they_o desire_v it_o yea_o say_v the_o marquesse_n in_o latin_a tune_n but_o now_o he_o say_v the_o ease_n be_v alter_v i_o say_v the_o king_n have_v give_v many_o testimony_n to_o the_o world_n of_o his_o willingness_n to_o comply_v with_o their_o master_n and_o they_o and_o if_o either_o his_o majesty_n or_o the_o prince_n seem_v now_o more_o reserve_v and_o deliberate_v in_o their_o action_n then_o heretofore_o it_o may_v be_v that_o his_o highness_n have_v learn_v that_o wary_a and_o circumspect_a proceed_n in_o spain_n where_o they_o be_v say_v to_o use_v it_o in_o matter_n of_o far_o less_o moment_n they_o
