and_o bring_v down_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o france_n will_v be_v at_o liberty_n to_o choose_v for_o the_o subject_n of_o its_o triumph_n spain_n italy_n or_o england_n at_o its_o own_o

which_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n have_v already_o get_v possession_n of_o in_o three_o different_a part_n of_o the_o country_n by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o have_v a_o free_a entry_n into_o

in_o the_o world_n by_o the_o fatal_a vicissititude_n of_o thing_n be_v now_o become_v the_o most_o soft_a and_o effeminate_a the_o four_o be_v that_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n be_v master_n of_o the_o italian_a sea_n whosoever_o then_o consider_v all_o these_o thing_n will_v be_v easy_o convince_v that_o if_o lewis_n the_o 14_o assail_v italy_n with_o all_o his_o force_n that_o nation_n will_v not_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o make_v any_o more_o resistance_n against_o he_o than_o it_o do_v against_o charles_n the_o eight_o and_o that_o if_o lewis_n get_v a_o foot_n once_o

be_v far_o different_a as_o also_o the_o conjuncture_n of_o former_a opportunity_n from_o those_o at_o present_a moreover_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o upon_o a_o irruption_n of_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n force_n into_o the_o most_o delightful_a part_n of_o christendom_n italy_n can_v have_v nothing_o to_o rely_v upon_o but_o the_o strength_n of_o her_o own_o native_a force_n for_o any_o succour_n she_o can_v expect_v i_o see_v none_o in_o a_o case_n to_o afford_v it_o she_o but_o the_o turk_n germany_n and_o spain_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v bring_v so_o low_a as_o not_o to_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n for_o any_o such_o effort_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o the_o swiss_n dare_v undertake_v any_o such_o enterprise_n or_o if_o they_o shall_v that_o their_o strength_n will_v prove_v any_o thing_n considerable_a from_o all_o which_o reason_n i_o determinate_o conclude_v that_o if_o france_n attaque_fw-la italy_n which_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a he_o will_v do_v after_o he_o have_v attaque_v and_o subdue_v the_o empire_n and_o spain_n italy_n will_v be_v entire_o lose_v and_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n itself_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o draw_v herself_o out_o of_o the_o broil_n by_o confer_v the_o same_o honour_n &_o grant_v the_o same_o privilege_n to_o lewis_n the_o 14_o as_o she_o do_v former_o to_o charlemaigne_n and_o several_a of_o his_o successor_n that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a article_n which_o she_o must_v make_v use_n of_o to_o satisfy_v the_o vast_a ambition_n and_o soar_a design_n of_o this_o monarch_n these_o great_a thing_n be_v thus_o bring_v to_o pass_v there_o will_v nothing_o remain_v to_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n but_o to_o subdue_v all_o his_o neighbour_n and_o to_o bring_v the_o swisser_n and_o the_o english_a under_o his_o yoke_n for_o the_o first_o i_o have_v say_v it_o and_o will_v say_v it_o again_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o the_o canton_n and_o confederate_a swiss_n can_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o defend_v themselves_o against_o all_o the_o effort_n and_o assault_n of_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n they_o who_o have_v not_o one_o fortify_v place_n in_o all_o their_o

all_o these_o circumstance_n to_o what_o she_o be_v able_a further_o to_o do_v consider_v the_o natural_a antipathy_n which_o every_o true_a english_a man_n natural_o preserve_v in_o his_o breast_n against_o the_o french_a nation_n we_o may_v from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n will_v find_v it_o a_o very_a difficult_a task_n to_o bring_v that_o famous_a island_n

of_o england_n they_o will_v make_v use_n of_o their_o win_a force_n without_o some_o plausible_a pretence_n to_o deprive_v so_o great_a a_o king_n their_o ally_n of_o his_o dominion_n france_n be_v

the_o english_a do_v not_o put_v themselves_o into_o a_o posture_n both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n to_o stop_v the_o progress_n of_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n and_o the_o unwary_a proceed_n of_o those_o among_o they_o who_o join_v and_o close_v with_o the_o french_a monarch_n to_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o their_o native_a country_n i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o take_v

for_o the_o real_a design_n of_o the_o interest_v courtrier_n at_o this_o conjuncture_n we_o may_v conclude_v they_o to_o be_v such_o undoubted_o and_o the_o same_o with_o those_o that_o engage_v the_o english_a at_o the_o begin_n
the_o privilege_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o that_o very_a reason_n it_o be_v that_o they_o pretend_v to_o set_v on_o foot_n the_o pretence_n of_o religion_n and_o because_o it_o be_v

the_o progress_n of_o these_o success_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n conclude_v that_o england_n act_v according_a to_o the_o same_o principle_n which_o engage_v she_o to_o confederate_a at_o the_o
