with_o who_o we_o be_v now_o to_o contend_v and_o who_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o hearken_v to_o any_o peace_n till_o france_n be_v abase_v but_o it_o be_v my_o misfortune_n that_o in_o this_o

be_v too_o late_o he_o always_o think_v that_o he_o have_v strength_n enough_o to_o break_v through_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o to_o make_v way_n for_o a_o favourable_a peace_n but_o this_o account_n be_v very_o different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o confederate_n who_o advance_v on_o all_o side_n to_o enter_v into_o france_n peradventure_o if_o i_o be_v master_n and_o shall_v

without_o leave_v the_o king_n of_o france_n who_o consider_v his_o present_a circumstance_n will_v not_o be_v offend_v as_o he_o will_v have_v be_v heretofore_o at_o the_o aid_n that_o i_o have_v

come_v in_o this_o resolution_n to_o consult_v the_o oracle_n say_v the_o french_a bait_n have_v cause_v i_o to_o lose_v the_o high_a reputation_n that_o i_o have_v acquire_v before_o vienna_n i_o confess_v my_o weakness_n hitherto_o in_o place_v my_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la in_o a_o little_a yellow_a clay_n which_o i_o have_v keep_v more_o careful_o than_o holy_a relic_n and_o i_o have_v often_o look_v on_o the_o effigy_n of_o the_o lovy_v d'or_n as_o a_o tutelary_a god_n and_o the_o object_n of_o my_o happiness_n however_o i_o now_o begin_v to_o understand_v that_o these_o material_a
