sense_n and_o reason_n and_o if_o you_o can_v but_o write_v so_o that_o any_o of_o my_o secretary_n may_v learn_v your_o hand_n they_o shall_v write_v it_o out_o fair_a and_o intelligible_a the_o duchess_n answer_v that_o she_o question_v not_o but_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v learn_v in_o a_o short_a time_n but_o say_v she_o to_o the_o empress_n what_o be_v it_o that_o your_o majesty_n will_v have_v write_v she_o answer_v the_o jew_n cabbala_n then_o your_o only_a way_n for_o that_o be_v say_v the_o duchess_n to_o have_v the_o soul_n of_o some_o famous_a jew_n nay_o if_o your_o majesty_n please_v i_o scruple_n not_o but_o you_o may_v as_o easy_o have_v the_o soul_n of_o moses_n as_o of_o any_o other_o that_o can_v be_v reply_v the_o empress_n for_o no_o mortal_a know_v where_o moses_n be_v but_o say_v the_o duchess_n humane_a soul_n be_v immortal_a however_o if_o this_o be_v too_o difficult_a to_o be_v obtain_v you_o may_v have_v the_o soul_n of_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a rabbi_n or_o sage_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n who_o will_v true_o instruct_v you_o in_o that_o mystery_n when_o as_o otherwise_o your_o majesty_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o mistake_v and_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o commit_v gross_a error_n no_o say_v the_o empress_n for_o i_o shall_v be_v instruct_v by_o spirit_n alas_o say_v the_o duchess_n spirit_n be_v as_o ignorant_a as_o mortal_n in_o many_o case_n for_o no_o create_a spirit_n have_v a_o general_a or_o absolute_a knowledge_n nor_o can_v they_o know_v the_o thought_n of_o man_n much_o less_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o great_a creator_n unless_o he_o be_v please_v to_o inspire_v into_o they_o the_o gift_n of_o divine_a knowledge_n then_o i_o pray_v say_v the_o empress_n let_v i_o have_v your_o counsel_n in_o this_o case_n the_o duchess_n answer_v if_o your_o majesty_n will_v be_v please_v to_o hearken_v to_o my_o advice_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o let_v that_o work_v alone_o for_o it_o will_v be_v of_o no_o advantage_n either_o to_o you_o or_o your_o people_n unless_o you_o be_v of_o the_o jew_n religion_n nay_o if_o your_o be_v the_o vulgar_a interpretation_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n will_v be_v more_o instructive_a and_o more_o easy_o believe_v than_o your_o mystical_a way_n of_o interpret_n it_o for_o have_v it_o be_v better_a and_o more_o advantageous_a for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o jew_n sure_o moses_n will_v have_v save_v after_o age_n that_o labour_v by_o his_o own_o explanation_n he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o wise_a but_o a_o very_a honest_a zealous_a and_o religious_a man_n wherefore_o the_o best_a way_n say_v she_o be_v to_o believe_v with_o the_o generality_n the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o to_o make_v interpretation_n every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o own_o fancy_n but_o to_o leave_v that_o work_n for_o the_o learned_a or_o those_o that_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v neither_o do_v i_o think_v say_v she_o that_o god_n will_v damn_v those_o that_o be_v ignorant_a therein_o or_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v lose_v for_o want_v of_o a_o mystical_a interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n then_o say_v the_o empress_n i_o will_v leave_v the_o scripture_n and_o make_v a_o philosophical_a cabbala_n the_o duchess_n tell_v she_o that_o sense_n and_o reason_n will_v instruct_v she_o of_o nature_n as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v know_v and_o as_o for_o number_n they_o be_v infinite_a but_o to_o add_v nonsense_n to_o infinite_a will_v breed_v a_o confusion_n especial_o in_o humane_a understanding_n then_o reply_v the_o empress_n i_o will_v make_v a_o moral_a cabbala_n the_o only_a thing_n answer_v the_o duchess_n in_o morality_n be_v but_o to_o fear_n god_n and_o to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n and_o this_o need_v no_o further_a interpretation_n but_o then_o i_o will_v make_v a_o political_a cabbala_n say_v the_o empress_n the_o duchess_n answer_v that_o the_o chief_a and_o only_a ground_n in_o government_n be_v but_o reward_n and_o punishment_n and_o require_v no_o further_a cabbala_n but_o say_v she_o if_o your_o majesty_n be_v resolve_v to_o make_v a_o cabbala_n i_o will_v advise_v you_o rather_o to_o make_v a_o poetical_a or_o romancical_a cabbala_n wherein_o you_o can_v use_v metaphor_n allegory_n similitude_n etc._n etc._n and_o interpret_v they_o as_o you_o please_v with_o that_o the_o empress_n thank_v the_o duchess_n and_o embrace_v her_o soul_n tell_v she_o she_o will_v take_v her_o counsel_n she_o make_v she_o also_o her_o favourite_n and_o keep_v she_o sometime_o in_o that_o world_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o duchess_n come_v to_o know_v and_o give_v this_o relation_n of_o all_o that_o pass_v in_o that_o rich_a populous_a and_o happy_a world_n and_o after_o some_o time_n the_o empress_n give_v her_o leave_n to_o return_v to_o her_o husband_n and_o kindred_n into_o her_o native_a world_n but_o upon_o condition_n that_o her_o soul_n shall_v visit_v she_o now_o and_o then_o which_o she_o do_v and_o true_o their_o meeting_n do_v produce_v such_o a_o intimate_a friendship_n between_o they_o that_o they_o become_v platonic_a lover_n although_o they_o be_v both_o female_n one_o time_n when_o the_o duchess_n her_o soul_n be_v with_o the_o empress_n she_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o melancholy_a at_o which_o the_o empress_n be_v very_o much_o trouble_v and_o ask_v she_o the_o reason_n of_o her_o melancholic_a humour_n true_o say_v the_o duchess_n to_o the_o empress_n for_o between_o dear_a friend_n there_o be_v no_o concealment_n they_o be_v like_o several_a part_n of_o one_o unite_a body_n my_o melancholy_n proceed_v from_o a_o extreme_a ambition_n the_o empress_n ask_v what_o the_o height_n of_o her_o ambition_n be_v the_o duchess_n answer_v that_o neither_o she_o herself_o nor_o no_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n be_v able_a to_o know_v either_o the_o height_n depth_n or_o breadth_n of_o her_o ambition_n but_o say_v she_o my_o present_a desire_n be_v that_o i_o will_v be_v a_o great_a princess_n the_o empress_n reply_v so_o you_o be_v for_o you_o be_v a_o princess_n of_o the_o four_o or_o five_o degree_n for_o a_o duke_n or_o duchess_n be_v the_o high_a title_n or_o honour_n that_o a_o subject_n can_v arrive_v to_o as_o be_v the_o next_o to_o a_o king_n title_n and_o as_o for_o the_o name_n of_o a_o prince_n or_o princess_n it_o belong_v to_o all_o that_o be_v adopt_v to_o the_o crown_n so_o that_o those_o that_o can_v add_v a_o crown_n to_o their_o arm_n be_v prince_n and_o therefore_o a_o duke_n be_v a_o title_n above_o a_o prince_n for_o example_n the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n the_o duke_n of_o florence_n the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n as_o also_o king_n brother_n be_v not_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o prince_n but_o duke_n this_o be_v the_o high_a title_n it_o be_v true_a answer_v the_o duchess_n unless_o it_o be_v king_n elder_a son_n and_o they_o be_v create_v prince_n yes_o reply_v the_o empress_n but_o no_o sovereign_n do_v make_v a_o subject_a equal_a to_o himself_o such_o as_o king_n elder_a son_n partly_o be_v and_o although_o some_o duke_n be_v sovereign_a yet_o i_o never_o hear_v that_o a_o prince_n by_o his_o title_n be_v sovereign_a by_o reason_n the_o title_n of_o a_o prince_n be_v more_o a_o title_n of_o honour_n then_o of_o sovereignty_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o belong_v to_o all_o that_o be_v adopt_v to_o the_o crown_n well_o say_v the_o deuchess_n set_v aside_o this_o dispute_n my_o ambition_n be_v that_o i_o will_v fain_o be_v as_o you_o be_v that_o be_v a_o empress_n of_o a_o world_n and_o i_o shall_v never_o be_v at_o quiet_a until_o i_o be_v one_o i_o love_v you_o so_o well_o reply_v the_o empress_n that_o i_o wish_v with_o all_o my_o soul_n you_o have_v the_o fruition_n of_o your_o ambitious_a desire_n and_o i_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o give_v you_o my_o best_a advice_n how_o to_o accomplish_v it_o the_o best_a informer_n be_v the_o immaterial_a spirit_n and_o they_o will_v soon_o tell_v you_o whether_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o obtain_v your_o wish_n but_o say_v the_o duchess_n i_o have_v little_a acquaintance_n with_o they_o for_o i_o never_o know_v any_o before_o the_o time_n you_o send_v for_o i_o they_o know_v you_o reply_v the_o empress_n for_o they_o tell_v i_o of_o you_o and_o be_v the_o mean_n and_o instrument_n of_o our_o come_n hither_o wherefore_o i_o will_v conser_fw-fr with_o they_o and_o inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o another_o world_n whereof_o you_o may_v be_v empress_n as_o well_o as_o i_o be_o of_o this_o no_o soon_o have_v the_o empress_n say_v this_o but_o some_o immaterial_a spirit_n come_v to_o visit_v she_o of_o who_o she_o inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v but_o three_o world_n in_o all_o to_o wit_n the_o blazing-world_n where_o she_o be_v in_o
