bavaria_n it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o answer_v here_o a_o question_n which_o seem_v very_o natural_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o premise_n viz._n why_o shall_v the_o spaniard_n make_v provision_n to_o bar_v the_o claim_n of_o the_o french_a by_o the_o issue_n of_o a_o daughter_n and_o not_o the_o claim_n of_o the_o emperor_n who_o right_a be_v also_o by_o the_o issue_n of_o a_o daughter_n this_o be_v express_o answer_v by_o the_o preamble_n to_o that_o treaty_n in_o these_o word_n estant_fw-fr les_fw-fr deux_fw-fr couronnes_fw-fr si_fw-fr grandes_fw-fr et_fw-fr si_fw-fr

majestez_fw-fr derogent_fw-la etc._n etc._n in_o english_a thus_o the_o two_o crown_n be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o puissant_a that_o they_o can_v be_v unite_v into_o one_o kingdom_n and_o that_o to_o the_o end_n that_o from_o this_o present_a all_o occasion_n of_o such_o a_o conjunction_n may_v be_v avoid_v therefore_o upon_o due_a consideration_n have_v of_o the_o aforesaid_a reason_n especial_o that_o of_o equality_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v preserve_v it_o be_v accord_v between_o both_o their_o majesty_n and_o by_o mutual_a covenant_n and_o contract_n ordain_v which_o shall_v continue_v in_o the_o full_a force_n and_o vigour_n of_o a_o law_n for_o ever_o that_o the_o most_o serene_a infanta_n of_o spain_n her_o child_n nor_o descendant_n in_o what_o degree_n soever_o shall_v never_o

notwithstanding_o any_o law_n or_o custom_n which_o hereby_o their_o majesty_n do_v abolish_v it_o be_v plain_a from_o this_o branch_n of_o the_o contract_n that_o a_o union_n between_o spain_n and_o france_n have_v be_v account_v by_o both_o nation_n a_o improper_a if_o not_o a_o impracticable_a thing_n a_o union_n with_o germany_n have_v be_v know_v and_o be_v coherent_a enough_o but_o the_o nature_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o two_o crown_n of_o spain_n and_o france_n seem_v to_o have_v some_o particular_a circumstance_n which_o will_v make_v a_o union_n fatal_a to_o they_o both_o and_o therefore_o don_n lewis_n de_fw-fr haro_n the_o great_a minister_n of_o state_n for_o the_o spaniard_n insist_v on_o this_o article_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o zeal_n i_o confess_v it_o seem_v

a_o match_n for_o cardinal_n mazarin_fw-mi in_o the_o famous_a peace_n of_o the_o pyrennes_n be_v sure_o very_o ill_o read_v in_o the_o maxim_n of_o prince_n to_o think_v that_o a_o treaty_n of_o

never_o take_v for_o a_o credulous_a nation_n and_o how_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v draw_v into_o such_o a_o folly_n seem_v very_o unaccountable_a no_o doubt_n cardinal_n mazarine_n who_o

the_o two_o kingdom_n to_o make_v a_o instrument_n of_o renunciation_n know_v well_o enough_o that_o title_n to_o crown_n be_v general_o dispute_v by_o the_o sword_n not_o by_o deed_n and_o

receive_v very_o little_a obstruction_n from_o so_o weak_a a_o defence_n as_o the_o paper_n of_o a_o renunciation_n for_o we_o find_v contract_n and_o write_n of_o that_o nature_n have_v very_o little_a effect_n against_o a_o title_n to_o a_o crown_n back_v with_o a_o army_n of_o 50000_o man_n the_o spanish_a minister_n act_v the_o part_n of_o man_n of_o honour_n indeed_o but_o not_o at_o all_o of_o politician_n why_o also_o that_o refine_a politician_n shall_v marry_v the_o elder_a daughter_n where_o the_o succession_n shall_v require_v so_o strict_a a_o bar_n remain_v undetermined_a have_v he_o give_v the_o infanta_n to_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o young_a daughter_n to_o the_o king_n of_o france_n the_o debate_n have_v be_v prevent_v but_o possible_o other_o reason_n may_v govern_v he_o which_o we_o can_v judge_v of_o at_o this_o distance_n of_o time_n and_o the_o infanta_n be_v marry_v to_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n six_o year_n before_o the_o young_a daughter_n be_v marry_v to_o the_o emperor_n that_o match_n may_v be_v make_v before_o a_o marriage_n with_o the_o emperor_n be_v in_o view_n upon_o the_o whole_a it_o appear_v by_o this_o short_a view_n of_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o spain_n that_o the_o two_o daughter_n of_o philip_n the_o four_o be_v the_o immediate_a heir_n of_o charles_n the_o second_o the_o present_a king_n in_o

devolve_v upon_o the_o second_o who_o title_n descend_v to_o the_o elector_n of_o bavaria_n i_o be_o also_o to_o observe_v that_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n not_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o oath_n of_o their_o father_n and_o therefore_o their_o succession_n be_v clear_a seem_v full_o answer_v thus_o the_o renunciation_n be_v not_o so_o much_o a_o personal_a
