7._o in_o letter_n from_o m._n secretary_n naunton_n of_o the_o 23._o of_o sept._n which_o come_v so_o late_o unto_o my_o hand_n that_o the_o emperor_n ban_n be_v already_o formal_o touch_v and_o ready_a to_o be_v put_v to_o the_o print_n print_n 8._o this_o i_o think_v be_v add_v out_o of_o mere_a conjecture_n for_o we_o have_v hear_v nothing_o of_o the_o elector_n action_n since_o his_o retire_n into_o silesia_n silesia_n 9_o so_o as_o upon_o my_o intercession_n the_o emperor_n have_v grant_v some_o suspense_n of_o the_o banne_n which_o i_o require_v for_o two_o principal_a reason_n 1_o because_o the_o king_n my_o master_n moderation_n in_o the_o bohemian_a business_n not_o cause_n who_o be_v so_o much_o interest_v in_o the_o person_n do_v just_o merit_v from_o the_o emperor_n a_o exchange_n of_o temperate_a proceed_n 2._o because_o such_o a_o imperial_a proscription_n will_v but_o more_o and_o more_o inflame_v the_o mind_n of_o all_o prince_n interest_v by_o reason_n of_o blood_n or_o state_n in_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o palatine_a and_o will_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o perpetual_a war_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o empire_n contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a endeavour_n and_o wish_n of_o your_o majesty_n who_o good_a intention_n be_v now_o so_o manifest_v to_o the_o world_n by_o sundry_a ambassage_n that_o you_o be_v satisfy_v in_o your_o own_o
