the_o interest_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o christendom_n and_o i_o fall_v present_o upon_o a_o passage_n where_o he_o say_v that_o one_o of_o the_o sure_a way_n to_o make_v one_o self_n master_n of_o a_o state_n be_v to_o interpose_v and_o make_v himself_o arbyter_n of_o its_o difference_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o oedipus_n to_o expound_v to_o i_o the_o riddle_n of_o the_o prophecy_n these_o first_o motive_n of_o suspicion_n have_v cast_v i_o into_o more_o profound_a thought_n i_o revolve_v in_o my_o mind_n how_o france_n have_v manage_v the_o whole_a business_n both_o before_o &_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o trouble_n and_o weigh_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o ambassage_n why_o such_o a_o solemn_a ambassage_n in_o a_o time_n when_o all_o thing_n seem_v most_o exasperate_v and_o further_a from_o accommodation_n why_o then_o not_o soon_o while_o difference_n be_v not_o yet_o irreconcilable_a between_o the_o two_o party_n why_o such_o a_o warlike_a prince_n who_o be_v not_o experience_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o manage_v a_o negotiation_n of_o a_o peace_n the_o most_o nice_a and_o intricate_a that_o the_o world_n at_o this_o time_n afford_v why_o at_o the_o same_o time_n levy_v of_o soldier_n in_o normandy_n when_o all_o the_o other_o troop_n be_v in_o their_o quarter_n why_o therefore_o shall_v they_o supply_v one_o of_o the_o party_n with_o money_n when_o they_o come_v to_o act_v the_o person_n of_o mediator_n if_o not_o to_o cast_v wood_n and_o oil_n into_o the_o flame_n why_o at_o the_o same_o time_n a_o agent_n in_o scotland_n who_o propound_v to_o they_o open_o a_o league_n with_o france_n why_o begin_v they_o only_o to_o turn_v their_o care_n upon_o england_n when_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o point_n of_o conclude_v a_o peace_n with_o spain_n may_v not_o we_o well_o judge_v that_o it_o be_v to_o prepare_v themselves_o for_o a_o new_a employment_n since_o they_o themselves_o confess_v that_o their_o boil_a and_o unquiet_a temper_n have_v need_n of_o continual_a exercise_n and_o that_o the_o only_a mean_n to_o prevent_v trouble_n at_o home_n be_v continual_o to_o furnish_v they_o with_o matter_n whereupon_o to_o evacuate_v their_o choler_n abroad_o why_o do_v only_a france_n afford_v we_o this_o so_o sudden_a and_o unexpected_a charity_n after_o all_o the_o fresh_a wound_n which_o bleed_v yet_o among_o they_o because_o of_o the_o expulsion_n of_o the_o capuchin_n after_o the_o continual_a care_n she_o have_v take_v for_o so_o many_o year_n to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o trouble_n by_o the_o secret_a negotiation_n of_o the_o marquis_n of_o blainville_n by_o the_o intriques_n of_o the_o cardinal_n of_o richelieu_n with_o buckingham_n by_o the_o long_a plot_n in_o scotland_n and_o by_o the_o open_a solicitation_n of_o the_o marquis_n de_fw-fr la_fw-fr fert_fw-la by_o all_o which_o they_o sometime_o incite_v the_o king_n minister_n to_o make_v he_o

transform_v themselves_o into_o a_o thousand_o different_a shape_n till_o have_v plunge_v we_o deep_a enough_o in_o the_o gulf_n they_o then_o call_v back_o their_o ambassage_n to_o give_v in_o appearance_n some_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o king_n but_o in_o truth_n because_o his_o commission_n be_v expire_v may_v not_o we_o well_o conclude_v from_o all_o this_o that_o they_o will_v now_o reap_v the_o fruit_n they_o have_v so_o careful_o sow_o and_o cultivate_v among_o we_o from_o these_o consideration_n fall_v insensible_o on_o those_o of_o england_n what_o need_n say_v i_o in_o
