dependence_n which_o be_v a_o old_a quarrel_n that_o your_o majesty_n have_v with_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o empire_n i_o will_v hold_v my_o tongue_n also_o as_o to_o what_o

at_o this_o day_n in_o a_o great_a confusion_n by_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o war_n which_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o support_v which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o bloody_a the_o most_o pernicious_a and_o the_o most_o burdensome_a that_o france_n ever_o have_v and_o real_o to_o run_v through_o all_o the_o reign_v that_o have_v precede_v this_o we_o do_v not_o see_v that_o charles_n the_o seven_o

than_o my_o other_o general_n or_o whether_o the_o familiar_a spirit_n as_o be_v say_v that_o you_o have_v to_o win_v battle_n make_v you_o bold_a and_o more_o undaunted_a be_v it_o as_o it_o will_v the_o battle_n of_o fleu●us_n which_o you_o win_v i_o have_v be_v a_o great_a benefit_n to_o i_o it_o have_v put_v my_o totter_a affair_n into_o a_o good_a condition_n and_o if_o any_o other_o but_o

of_o trouble_n to_o defeat_v twenty_o four_o thousand_o which_o compose_v the_o enemy_n army_n i_o add_v also_o this_o circumstance_n that_o the_o victory_n be_v a_o long_a time_n balance_v by_o the_o
