to_o assist_v the_o emperor_n to_o expect_v they_o shall_v be_v neutral_a for_o shall_v the_o french_a king_n which_o join_v with_o spain_n etc._n etc._n i_o do_v see_v be_v so_o difficult_a to_o be_v do_v to_o be_v too_o hard_a for_o the_o emperor_n and_o so_o command_v his_o arm_n or_o indeed_o otherwise_o engage_v they_o they_o will_v make_v too_o formidable_a a_o enemy_n to_o be_v think_v not_o worth_a mind_v and_o the_o balance_v not_o so_o much_o keep_v in_o aequilibrio_fw-la as_o might_n be_v wish_v and_o therefore_o the_o french_a king_n must_v great_o reflect_v upon_o the_o conduct_n and_o foresight_n of_o those_o concern_v in_o the_o treaty_n in_o endeavour_v to_o impose_v that_o belief_n upon_o the_o public_a that_o his_o accept_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v will_n maintain_v a_o general_n peace_n then_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n have_v the_o french_a king_n keep_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o partition_n i_o can_v for_o my_o part_n see_v who_o can_v or_o dare_v attempt_v the_o disturbance_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o europe_n upon_o that_o account_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o difficulty_n he_o mention_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o specious_a pretence_n but_o first_o i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o obviate_v the_o objection_n make_v against_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o treaty_n and_o the_o french_a king_n being_n any_o way_n bind_v by_o it_o because_o say_v he_o the_o emperor_n have_v not_o accept_v of_o the_o partition_n before_o the_o death_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n it_o be_v therefore_o void_a and_o cease_v to_o be_v obligatory_a the_o three_o month_n be_v past_o which_o be_v allow_v he_o for_o acceptance_n this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o objection_n which_o will_v be_v easy_o answer_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o by_o the_o secret_a article_n of_o the_o treaty_n the_o emperor_n be_v to_o have_v two_o month_n more_o grant_v he_o to_o consider_v of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o determine_v but_o suppose_v they_o be_v the_o seven_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n have_v make_v provision_n for_o the_o emperor_n refusal_n it_o run_v thus_o immediate_o after_o the_o exchange_n of_o this_o present_a treaty_n it_o shall_v be_v communicate_v to_o the_o emperor_n who_o shall_v be_v invite_v to_o enter_v thereinto_o but_o if_o after_o three_o month_n time_n from_o the_o day_n of_o the_o say_a communication_n and_o the_o say_a invitation_n or_o the_o day_n that_o his_o catholic_n majesty_n shall_v die_v if_o it_o happen_v before_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o say_v three_o

charles_n the_o two_o king_n of_o france_n and_o england_n or_o their_o successor_n and_o the_o state_n general_n shall_v agree_v upon_o a_o prince_n to_o who_o that_o part_n shall_v be_v give_v and_o

accept_v the_o present_a treaty_n or_o of_o that_o part_n which_o may_v be_v assign_v to_o mons_fw-la dauphin_z or_o to_o he_o who_o shall_v have_v the_o duchy_n of_o milan_n in_o exchange_n as_o

french_a king_n will_v take_v very_o hanious_o any_o reflection_n upon_o his_o care_n or_o conduct_v in_o this_o affair_n in_o have_v agree_v to_o he_o know_v not_o what_o which_o if_o he_o do_v be_v

with_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 11_o page_n of_o the_o memorial_n the_o high_a dignity_n of_o king_n do_v not_o excuse_v they_o frem_fw-mi consider_v whether_o the_o war_n they_o undertake_v be_v
