imprint_v on_o man_n mind_n a_o magnificent_a idea_n of_o your_o power_n but_o ought_v your_o majesty_n to_o be_v content_v with_o it_o will_v it_o not_o turn_v more_o to_o your_o advantage_n that_o your_o justice_n shall_v be_v extol_v rather_o than_o proclaim_v the_o condition_n you_o be_v in_o at_o present_a to_o oppress_v your_o neighbour_n that_o have_v never_o be_v the_o way_n to_o

they_o require_v more_o address_v it_o be_v better_a policy_n to_o weaken_v they_o by_o war_n of_o which_o let_v they_o suffer_v the_o inconvenience_n but_o reap_v none_o of_o the_o advantage_n conquest_n be_v not_o ordinary_o make_v for_o they_o though_o they_o be_v the_o bait_n wherewith_o they_o be_v usual_o tempt_v and_o draw_v in_o they_o may_v be_v wean_a from_o their_o part_n in_o they_o under_o specious_a pretence_n as_o in_o the_o last_o war_n when_o your_o majesty_n make_v the_o neighbour-prince_n restore_v the_o place_n they_o have_v take_v from_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n and_o which_o the_o emperor_n do_v not_o oppose_v because_o it_o be_v his_o interest_n that_o those_o prince_n shall_v not_o increase_v their_o power_n and_o which_o be_v all_o the_o reward_n he_o give_v they_o for_o take_v his_o part_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o that_o which_o i_o have_v now_o say_v be_v a_o digression_n because_o it_o have_v carry_v i_o from_o my_o subject_n but_o i_o can_v not_o find_v a_o sitter_n place_n for_o it_o than_o here_o and_o the_o reflection_n to_o be_v make_v upon_o it_o be_v of_o as_o great_a consequence_n as_o those_o i_o have_v yet_o to_o make_v on_o the_o choice_n the_o queen_n your_o mother_n make_v of_o cardinal_n mazarin_n to_o excuse_v she_o prefer_v he_o before_o other_o three_o reason_n be_v give_v the_o first_o be_v because_o he_o be_v acquaint_v with_o foreign_a affair_n the_o second_o be_v that_o not_o be_v a_o native_a of_o france_n he_o have_v no_o kindred_n or_o relation_n to_o enrich_v the_o three_o be_v that_o more_o people_n will_v have_v be_v displease_v and_o dissatisfy_v have_v he_o be_v a_o french_a man._n but_o these_o reason_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v not_o much_o sway_n your_o majesty_n as_o for_o the_o first_o if_o cardinal_n mazarin_n know_v affair_n abroad_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o those_o at_o home_n which_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v as_o those_o that_o be_v foreign_a and_o indeed_o the_o inconvenience_n be_v visible_a see_v that_o which_o come_v near_a the_o heart_n be_v of_o much_o great_a consequence_n than_o that_o which_o lie_v remote_a from_o it_o beside_o the_o knowledge_n of_o foreign_a affair_n be_v not_o so_o very_o difficult_a to_o be_v acquire_v the_o situation_n and_o the_o state_n of_o country_n be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o and_o by_o that_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o regulate_v himself_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v not_o better_o but_o the_o contrary_a for_o there_o be_v a_o hundred_o thing_n to_o be_v object_v against_o it_o a_o stranger_n have_v as_o great_a a_o desire_n as_o any_o other_o person_n to_o enrich_v his_o kindred_n in_o what_o place_n soever_o they_o be_v beside_o he_o can_v send_v for_o they_o when_o he_o find_v himself_o well_o settle_v three_o of_o his_o nephew_n and_o seven_o neices_n who_o come_v quick_o into_o france_n be_v a_o undeniable_a testimony_n of_o this_o truth_n and_o a_o minister_n can_v hardly_o have_v be_v take_v out_o of_o any_o other_o family_n wherein_o there_o be_v to_o be_v find_v a_o great_a number_n of_o kindred_n and_o relation_n but_o a_o great_a inconvenience_n in_o the_o choice_n be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o foreigner_n and_o not_o certain_a how_o long_o he_o shall_v keep_v his_o post_n will_v be_v every_o day_n transmit_v into_o his_o own_o country_n that_o which_o may_v plentiful_o maintain_v he_o in_o case_n he_o fall_v into_o disgrace_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o a_o stranger_n can_v be_v so_o well_o affect_v to_o france_n as_o one_o that_o suck_v in_o the_o love_n of_o his_o country_n with_o his_o mother_n milk_n to_o which_o i_o will_v add_v that_o see_v he_o be_v not_o marry_v nor_o in_o a_o condition_n ever_o to_o be_v so_o he_o can_v not_o look_v upon_o france_n as_o a_o country_n wherein_o he_o himself_o or_o his_o posterity_n can_v ever_o hope_v to_o be_v settle_v the_o three_o reason_n be_v much_o weak_a than_o the_o other_o two_o which_o be_v that_o when_o in_o so_o great_a a_o kingdom_n as_o your_o majesty_n people_n of_o very_a great_a quality_n and_o merit_n see_v the_o ministry_n put_v into_o

body_n be_v relate_v who_o manner_n and_o good_a quality_n be_v not_o know_v and_o to_o who_o be_v people_n never_o so_o much_o convince_v of_o his_o merit_n they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o just_a as_o to_o give_v he_o his_o due_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o believe_v the_o queen_n your_o mother_n have_v some_o other_o reason_n than_o those_o allege_v for_o her_o choice_n perhaps_o it_o be_v because_o other_o pretender_n do_v not_o make_v use_n of_o her_o interest_n to_o obtain_v the_o place_n and_o consequent_o foresee_v they_o will_v not_o thank_v she_o she_o for_o that_o reason_n make_v the_o choice_n she_o do_v but_o whatever_o it_o be_v her_o majesty_n quick_o see_v so_o many_o new_a trouble_n break_v out_o that_o though_o she_o have_v be_v use_v to_o the_o like_a in_o the_o
