sir_n consider_v in_o what_o estate_n we_o find_v the_o treaty_n of_o marriage_n between_o spain_n and_o emgland_n and_o know_v certain_o how_o the_o minister_n do_v understand_v this_o business_n that_o treat_v it_o in_o the_o time_n of_o philip_n the_o three_o who_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n that_o their_o meaning_n be_v never_o to_o effect_v it_o but_o by_o enlarge_n the_o treaty_n and_o point_n of_o the_o say_a marriage_n to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o friendship_n of_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n as_o well_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o germany_n as_o those_o of_o flanders_n and_o suspect_v likewise_o that_o your_o majesty_n be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n although_o the_o demonstration_n do_v not_o show_v so_o join_v to_o those_o suspicion_n that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o infanta_n donna_n maria_n be_v resolve_v to_o put_v herself_o into_o the_o monastery_n the_o same_o day_n that_o your_o majesty_n shall_v press_v she_o to_o make_v the_o marriage_n i_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o present_v to_o your_o majesty_n that_o which_o my_o good_a zeal_n have_v afford_v i_o in_o this_o occasion_n think_v it_o a_o good_a time_n to_o acquaint_v your_o majesty_n withal_o to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v resolve_v of_o that_o which_o you_o shall_v find_v most_o convenient_a with_o the_o advice_n of_o those_o minister_n that_o you_o shall_v think_v fit_a the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n do_v find_v himself_o at_o this_o time_n equal_o in_o the_o two_o business_n the_o one_o be_v the_o marriage_n to_o the_o which_o he_o be_v move_v by_o the_o convenience_n which_o

whatsoever_o convenience_n may_v follow_v by_o dissemble_v what_o they_o suffer_v i_o do_v not_o dispute_v whether_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britainy_a be_v govern_v in_o this_o business_n of_o

as_o it_o be_v treat_v your_o majesty_n may_v find_v yourself_o together_o with_o the_o king_n of_o great_a brirain_n engage_v in_o a_o war_n against_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o catholic_a league_n so_o that_o your_o majesty_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o delare_v yourself_o with_o your_o arm_n against_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o catholic_a league_n a_o thing_n which_o to_o hear_v will_v offend_v
