his_o daughter_n mary_n that_o be_v too_o well_o know_v for_o libel_n have_v be_v spread_v over_o all_o europe_n reproach_v he_o that_o his_o great_a grandfather_n be_v not_o a_o gentleman_n but_o that_o by_o his_o credit_n at_o court_n and_o by_o the_o vast_a riches_n that_o he_o have_v acquire_v he_o have_v obtain_v leave_n to_o marry_v a_o daughter_n of_o the_o family_n of_o the_o

concern_v the_o king_n reflection_n on_o that_o matter_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o restrain_v he_o from_o write_v on_o that_o subject_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n for_o prince_n to_o

together_o here_o be_v such_o a_o mixture_n of_o impertinency_n that_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o know_v at_o what_o one_o be_v to_o begin_v and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o this_o one_o period_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v how_o incapable_a mr._n varillas_n be_v of_o write_a history_n i_o shall_v not_o in_o this_o place_n show_v the_o falsehood_n of_o that_o imputation_n on_o henry_n the_o 8_o that_o he_o design_v this_o incestuous_a match_n for_o that_o will_v come_v in_o more_o property_n upon_o another_o occasion_n only_o if_o his_o birth_n be_v defective_a on_o his_o

the_o reason_n be_v as_o foolish_a as_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v false_a and_o the_o ignorance_n that_o mr._n var._n show_v here_o be_v the_o more_o remarkable_a because_o this_o matter_n belong_v to_o the_o most_o extraordinary_a transaction_n that_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a french_a history_n in_o which_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o conversant_a i_o need_v not_o say_v any_o more_o to_o prove_v the_o tudor_n to_o be_v gentleman_n but_o to_o tell_v that_o they_o be_v welshman_n of_o the_o race_n of_o the_o ancient_a briton_n who_o do_v all_o pretend_v to_o the_o high_a birth_n of_o any_o in_o the_o english_a nation_n and_o do_v run_v up_o their_o pedigree_n to_o julius_n cesar_n time_n among_o who_o be_v the_o race_n of_o the_o the_o ap_fw-mi theodore_n or_o the_o son_n of_o theodore_n that_o by_o a_o corruption_n of_o some_o age_n be_v call_v tudor_n but_o know_v mr._n varillas_n so_o little_a of_o the_o french_a history_n as_o to_o have_v forget_v that_o the_o

be_v the_o king_n uterine_n brother_n and_o the_o next_o heir_n to_o that_o title_n that_o he_o claim_v to_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n in_o the_o right_n of_o his_o mother_n which_o i_o be_o far_o from_o think_v be_v a_o good_a one_o this_o be_v the_o case_n it_o be_v no_o extraordinary_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o richmont_n rank_n to_o marry_v a_o lady_n that_o be_v then_o at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o the_o crown_n tho'_o it_o be_v only_o in_o the_o 6_o and_o not_o the_o 16_o degree_n but_o i_o do_v not_o insist_v on_o this_o because_o it_o may_v be_v only_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o printer_n and_o i_o will_v not_o descend_v to_o a_o doubtful_a fault_n when_o i_o have_v such_o material_a one_o in_o my_o way_n i_o know_v there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o be_v much_o more_o ashamed_a when_o their_o ignorance_n be_v discover_v than_o when_o their_o other_o vice_n be_v lay_v open_a since_o degenerate_a mind_n be_v more_o jealous_a of_o the_o reputation_n of_o their_o understanding_n than_o of_o their_o honour_n and_o as_o mr._n varillas_n be_v very_o like_a to_o be_v of_o this_o temper_n so_o if_o a_o sympathy_n with_o mr._n maimbourg_n have_v not_o wrought_v he_o up_o to_o the_o like_a pitch_n of_o assurance_n such_o discovery_n as_o these_o aught_o to_o affect_v he_o a_o little_a and_o here_o a_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o lose_v his_o patience_n when_o he_o find_v such_o a_o scribbler_n pretend_v to_o defame_v the_o noble_a blood_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o in_o the_o first_o prophetic_a rhapsody_n that_o relate_v to_o
