with_o all_o his_o force_n that_o the_o duke_n of_o lunenburgh_n on_o account_n of_o the_o nine_o electorate_v will_v maintain_v 30_o thousand_o man_n at_o his_o own_o charge_n and_o thus_o all_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n be_v on_o his_o side_n by_o these_o they_o tell_v you_o the_o emperor_n will_v immediate_o on_o the_o one_o side_n secure_a italy_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n make_v such_o a_o vigorous_a diversion_n on_o the_o rhine_n that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n shall_v have_v work_n enough_o to_o secure_v his_o own_o dominion_n while_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o

and_o if_o the_o emperor_n be_v so_o strong_a he_o may_v cut_v out_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o work_n for_o the_o confederate_n and_o i_o will_v suppose_v the_o emperor_n shall_v be_v so_o blind_a to_o his_o own_o interest_n as_o to_o attempt_v it_o yet_o seem_v not_o at_o all_o probable_a that_o his_o impereal_a majesty_n who_o have_v hardly_o be_v able_a to_o support_v himself_o this_o war_n in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o whole_a confederacy_n of_o europe_n shall_v imagine_v himself_o capable_a of_o put_v a_o check_n to_o the_o power_n of_o france_n in_o conjunction_n with_o england_n and_o

first_o flanders_n always_o which_o have_v be_v maintain_v by_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o dutch_a will_v immediate_o be_v enter_v by_o the_o dutch_a on_o one_o side_n and_o the_o french_a on_o the_o other_o and_o must_v fall_v into_o their_o hand_n with_o little_a difficulty_n second_o spain_n can_v never_o hold_v out_o against_o the_o french_a by_o land_n assist_v with_o the_o naval_a force_n of_o the_o english_a and_o dutch_a by_o sea_n the_o island_n of_o the_o mediterranean_a must_v submit_v to_o the_o master_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o america_n will_v lie_v like_o the_o golden_a

accept_v of_o the_o partition_n for_o his_o part_n especial_o when_o he_o see_v how_o impossible_a it_o will_v be_v to_o make_v better_a condition_n by_o force_n what_o the_o english_a and_o dutch_a be_v to_o do_v if_o he_o shall_v remain_v to_o be_v debate_v under_o another_o head_n i_o will_v now_o suppose_v that_o which_o to_o i_o seem_v very_o unleke_o that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n
