we_o will_v do_v all_o we_o can_v to_o stave_v off_o the_o parliament_n for_o our_o own_o sake_n that_o we_o will_v struggle_v as_o hard_o without_o money_n as_o with_o it_o and_o we_o have_v by_o this_o time_n upon_o our_o own_o interest_n prevail_v to_o get_v the_o parliament_n prorogue_v till_o the_o 13_o of_o april_n he_o think_v that_o the_o prorogation_n be_v to_o a_o day_n so_o high_a in_o the_o spring_n will_v put_v the_o confederate_n so_o much_o beyond_o their_o measure_n as_o that_o it_o may_v procure_v a_o peace_n and_o be_v as_o useful_a to_o france_n as_o a_o dissolution_n upon_o these_o reason_n which_o i_o suppose_v he_o go_v upon_o i_o have_v several_a discourse_n with_o he_o and_o do_v open_v myself_o so_o far_o to_o he_o as_o to_o say_v that_o i_o can_v wish_v his_o master_n will_v give_v we_o leave_v to_o offer_v 300000_o l._n to_o our_o master_n for_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o show_v he_o that_o a_o peace_n will_v most_o certain_o follow_v a_o dessolution_n which_o he_o agree_v with_o i_o in_o and_o that_o we_o desire_v not_o the_o money_n from_o his_o master_n to_o excite_v our_o will_n or_o to_o make_v we_o more_o industrious_a to_o use_v our_o utmost_a power_n to_o procure_v a_o dissolution_n but_o to_o strengthen_v our_o power_n and_o credit_n with_o the_o king_n and_o to_o render_v we_o more_o capable_a to_o succeed_v with_o his_o majesty_n as_o most_o certain_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v have_v we_o be_v fortify_v with_o such_o a_o argument_n to_o this_o purpose_n i_o promise_v mounseur_fw-fr pompone_n frequent_o by_o sir_n william_n frogmorton_n who_o return_v from_o hence_o again_o into_o france_n on_o the_o 16_o of_o november_n the_o day_n our_o parliament_n shall_v have_v set_v but_o be_v prorogu_v monsieur_n pompone_n as_o i_o be_v inform_v by_o sir_n william_n do_v seem_v to_o approve_v the_o thing_n but_o yet_o have_v two_o objection_n against_o it_o 1._o that_o the_o sum_n we_o propose_v be_v great_a and_o can_v very_o ill_o be_v spare_v by_o his_o majesty_n in_o the_o circumstance_n he_o be_v in_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o if_o by_o his_o expend_v that_o sum_n he_o can_v procure_v a_o dissolution_n of_o our_o parliament_n and_o thereby_o a_o peace_n which_o every_o body_n agree_v will_v necessary_o follow_v his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n will_v save_v five_o or_o ten_o time_n a_o great_a sum_n and_o so_o be_v a_o good_a husband_n by_o his_o expense_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o procure_v a_o dissolution_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v at_o that_o expense_n at_o all_o for_o that_o we_o desire_v he_o only_o to_o promise_v upon_o that_o condition_n which_o we_o be_v content_v to_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v first_o 2._o the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o the_o duke_n do_v not_o move_v it_o nor_o appear_v in_o it_o himself_o to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o he_o do_v not_o indeed_o to_o mounseur_fw-fr pompone_n because_o he_o have_v find_v so_o ill_a a_o effect_n of_o the_o negotiation_n with_o father_n ferrier_n when_o it_o come_v into_o mounseur_fw-fr ravignys_n hand_n but_o he_o have_v concern_v himself_o in_o it_o to_o father_n ferrier_n yet_o i_o continue_v to_o prosecute_v and_o press_v the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o parliament_n detest_a all_o prorogation_n as_o only_o so_o much_o loss_n of_o time_n and_o a_o mean_n of_o strengthen_v all_o those_o who_o depend_v upon_o it_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o crown_n the_o interest_n of_o france_n and_o the_o catholic_n religion_n in_o the_o opinion_n they_o have_v take_v that_o our_o king_n dare_v not_o part_v with_o his_o parliament_n apprehend_v another_o will_v be_v much_o worse_o 2._o that_o he_o can_v not_o live_v without_o a_o parliament_n therefore_o they_o must_v sudden_o meet_v and_o the_o long_o he_o keep_v they_o off_o the_o great_a the_o necessity_n will_v grow_v and_o consequent_o their_o power_n to_o compel_v he_o to_o do_v what_o they_o list_v will_v increase_v according_o and_o therefore_o if_o they_o can_v but_o maintain_v themselves_o a_o while_n their_o day_n will_v certain_o come_v in_o a_o short_a time_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o

prorogation_n and_o therefore_o i_o press_v as_o i_o have_v say_v a_o dissolution_n until_o february_n last_o when_o our_o circumstance_n be_v so_o total_o change_v that_o we_o be_v force_v to_o
