a_o pestilent_a heresy_n which_o have_v domineer_v over_o great_a part_n of_o this_o northern_a world_n a_o long_a time_n there_o be_v never_o such_o hope_n of_o success_n since_o the_o death_n of_o

of_o so_o glorious_a a_o work_n but_o the_o opposition_n we_o be_v sure_a to_o meet_v with_o be_v also_o like_a to_o be_v great_a so_o that_o it_o import_v we_o to_o get_v all_o the_o aid_n and_o

of_o my_o master_n the_o duke_n be_v the_o mighty_a mind_n of_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n who_o generous_a soul_n incline_v he_o to_o great_a undertake_n which_o be_v manage_v by_o your_o

i_o hope_v you_o will_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o be_v very_o troublesome_a to_o you_o upon_o this_o occasion_n from_o who_o i_o expect_v the_o great_a help_n we_o can_v hope_v for_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o think_v his_o christian_a majesty_n temporal_a interest_n be_v so_o much_o attract_v to_o that_o of_o his_o r._n h._n which_o can_v never_o be_v considerable_a but_o upon_o the_o growth_n and_o advancement_n of_o the_o catholic_n religion_n that_o his_o minister_n can_v give_v he_o better_o advice_n even_o in_o a_o politic_a sense_n abstract_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o next_o world_n that_o of_o our_o bless_a lord_n to_o seek_v first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o that_o all_o other_o thing_n may_v be_v add_v unto_o he_o that_o i_o know_v his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n have_v more_o powerful_a motive_n suggest_v to_o he_o by_o his_o own_o devotion_n and_o your_o reverence_n zeal_n for_o god_n glory_n to_o engage_v he_o to_o afford_v we_o the_o best_a help_n he_o can_v in_o our_o present_a circumstance_n but_o we_o be_v a_o little_a unhappy_a in_o this_o that_o we_o can_v press_v his_o majesty_n by_o his_o present_a minister_n here_o upon_o these_o latter_a argument_n which_o be_v most_o strong_a but_o only_o upon_o the_o first_o mr._n rouvigny_n sense_n and_o we_o differ_v very_o much_o upon_o they_o though_o we_o agree_v perfect_o upon_o the_o rest_n and_o indeed_o though_o he_o be_v a_o very_a able_a man_n as_o to_o his_o master_n service_n in_o thing_n where_o religion_n be_v not_o concern_v yet_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v much_o more_o happy_a consider_v the_o posture_n he_o be_v now_o in_o that_o his_o temper_n be_v of_o such_o a_o sort_n that_o we_o may_v deal_v clear_o with_o he_o throughout_o and_o not_o be_v force_v to_o stop_v short_a in_o a_o discourse_n of_o consequence_n and_o leave_v the_o most_o material_a part_n out_o because_o we_o know_v it_o will_v shock_v his_o particular_a opinion_n and_o so_o perhaps_o meet_v with_o dislike_n and_o opposition_n though_o never_o so_o necessary_a to_o the_o main_n concern_v i_o be_o afraid_a we_o shall_v find_v too_o much_o reason_n for_o this_o complaint_n in_o this_o next_o session_n of_o parliament_n for_o have_v we_o have_v one_o here_o from_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n who_o have_v take_v the_o whole_a business_n to_o heart_n and_o who_o will_v have_v represent_v the_o state_n of_o our_o case_n true_o as_o it_o be_v to_o his_o master_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n will_v have_v engage_v himself_o further_a in_o the_o affair_n than_o at_o present_a i_o fear_v he_o have_v do_v and_o by_o his_o approbation_n have_v give_v such_o counsel_n as_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o his_o r._n h._n by_o those_o few_o catholic_n who_o have_v access_n to_o he_o and_o who_o be_v bend_v to_o serve_v he_o and_o advance_v the_o catholic_n religion_n with_o all_o their_o might_n and_o may_v have_v more_o credit_n with_o his_o r._n h._n than_o i_o fear_v they_o have_v find_v and_o have_v assist_v they_o also_o with_o his_o purse_n as_o far_o as_o 10000_o crown_n or_o some_o such_o sum_n which_o to_o he_o be_v very_o inconsiderable_a but_o will_v have_v be_v to_o they_o of_o great_a use_n than_o can_v be_v imagine_v towards_o gain_v other_o to_o help_v they_o or_o at_o least_o not_o to_o oppose_v they_o if_o we_o have_v be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o have_v have_v his_o most_o christian_a majesty_n with_o we_o to_o this_o degree_n i_o will_v have_v answer_v with_o my_o life_n for_o such_o success_n this_o session_n as_o will_v have_v put_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o catholic_n religion_n his_o r._n h._n and_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n out_o of_o all_o danger_n
