with_o so_o universal_a a_o approbation_n beyond_o sea_n and_o so_o few_o of_o the_o french_a copy_n be_v come_v over_o into_o england_n i_o think_v it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o if_o i_o endeavour_v at_o leisure_n hour_n to_o translate_v and_o so_o to_o communicate_v that_o book_n to_o the_o world_n which_o give_v i_o so_o much_o diversion_n and_o entertainment_n in_o the_o read_n the_o design_n of_o these_o dialogue_n be_v principal_o to_o offer_v incense_n to_o our_o heroic_a william_n the_o three_o who_o have_v with_o so_o happy_a a_o augury_n begin_v to_o deliver_v europe_n out_o of_o

the_o western_a world_n in_o every_o dialogue_n almost_o he_o take_v occasion_n to_o expose_v the_o intrigue_n of_o the_o french_a the_o illegality_n of_o their_o acquisition_n their_o rapine_n and_o violence_n which_o be_v scarce_o practise_v among_o the_o goth_n and_o vandal_n but_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v never_o carry_v to_o that_o height_n and_o refinedness_n as_o we_o see_v they_o in_o modern_a france_n he_o advise_v the_o ally_n all_o along_o to_o neglect_v no_o opportunity_n to_o fall_v into_o no_o different_a party_n or_o faction_n to_o espouse_v the_o common_a quarrel_n of_o the_o

than_o real_o he_o be_v to_o slacken_v their_o endeavour_n and_o lessen_v their_o preparation_n against_o he_o i_o only_o foresee_v one_o objection_n to_o the_o book_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o author_n whenever_o his_o argument_n carry_v he_o into_o the_o territory_n of_o satyr_n his_o effort_n that_o way_n be_v too_o feeble_a and_o ineffectual_a in_o england_n it_o be_v only_a good_a through_o pace_a substantial_a scandal_n that_o please_v we_o we_o do_v love_v to_o do_v thing_n by_o half_n and_o if_o we_o must_v write_v satyr_n it_o be_v expect_v we_o make_v our_o thrust_v home_n and_o push_v free_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o french_a rally_v always_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o decorum_n they_o be_v too_o intent_n upon_o the_o punity_n of_o their_o language_n to_o have_v any_o great_a regard_n to_o the_o justness_n of_o their_o thought_n and_o they_o forbear_v to_o speak_v severe_a bitter_a thing_n lest_o it_o spoil_v the_o evenness_n of_o their_o style_n as_o some_o

of_o their_o thought_n they_o talk_v and_o act_v all_o their_o life_n time_n in_o cipher_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v and_o he_o be_v count_v the_o most_o politic_a and_o cunning_a that_o can_v best_o

and_o for_o that_o dissimulation_n be_v much_o deep_a and_o more_o at_o rome_n than_o versailles_n it_o must_v be_v in_o my_o opinion_n a_o extraordinary_a pleasure_n to_o hear_v a_o pope_n discover_v
