but_o all_o his_o strength_n consist_v in_o the_o defence_n and_o guard_v of_o this_o famous_a wall_n which_o stop_v we_o here_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v great_a and_o be_v as_o i_o judge_v guard_v

the_o country_n by_o your_o order_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v that_o it_o be_v the_o best_a for_o you_o to_o direct_v your_o course_n that_o way_n it_o be_v doubtless_o the_o most_o secure_a for_o

of_o his_o army_n which_o consist_v more_o in_o cunning_n than_o in_o courage_n more_o in_o the_o fox_n tail_n than_o in_o the_o lion_n skin_n thus_o the_o emperor_n crafty_o conceal_v the_o assure_a mean_n that_o he_o have_v to_o open_v a_o passage_n to_o his_o enemy_n that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o facility_n to_o overcome_v they_o they_o may_v ascribe_v the_o good_a success_n to_o his_o conduct_n alone_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n that_o his_o reputation_n may_v be_v more_o increase_v and_o his_o wisdom_n skill_n and_o courage_n more_o esteem_v but_o before_o he_o attempt_v this_o

to_o believe_v he_o in_o every_o thing_n at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o departure_n the_o lord_n of_o vauchefu_n come_v with_o his_o brother_n to_o meet_v the_o emperor_n they_o assure_v he_o that_o the_o success_n will_v answer_v his_o expectation_n for_o they_o have_v be_v to_o visit_v the_o way_n which_o be_v to_o be_v force_v and_o that_o lead_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o china_n they_o
