a_o letter_n from_o the_o archbishop_n of_o paris_n to_o the_o late_a king_n james_n great_a sir_n as_o the_o king_n be_v true_o sensible_a of_o your_o majesty_n firm_a adherence_n to_o his_o interest_n even_o with_o the_o loss_n of_o your_o three_o kingdom_n so_o he_o have_v redouble_v his_o care_n and_o have_v leave_v no_o stone_n unturned_a to_o restore_v your_o majesty_n to_o the_o say_a kingdom_n again_o not_o only_o by_o endeavoer_v to_o reduce_v they_o but_o by_o make_v war_n also_o against_o all_o the_o confederates_n who_o oppose_v he_o in_o this_o his_o undertake_n and_o although_o the_o king_n beyond_o hope_n have_v not_o be_v successful_a in_o the_o first_o though_o there_o be_v a_o very_a good_a prospect_n of_o it_o yet_o he_o succeed_v in_o the_o other_o in_o have_v enlarge_v his_o dominion_n very_o much_o and_o by_o increase_a the_o same_o still_o by_o the_o great_a conquest_n he_o make_v every_o year_n by_o the_o great_a and_o continual_a victory_n he_o obtain_v over_o his_o enemy_n from_o time_n to_o time_n but_o all_o this_o be_v not_o such_o a_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o generous_a mind_n as_o that_o will_v be_v if_o he_o can_v restore_v your_o majesty_n to_o your_o throne_n again_o this_o grieve_v the_o king_n and_o stick_v so_o much_o to_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o do_v not_o value_v the_o smile_n of_o fortune_n so_o long_o as_o it_o frown_v upon_o your_o majesty_n and_o as_o good_a office_n claim_v gratitude_n so_o the_o king_n not_o only_o royal_o receive_v your_o majesty_n into_o his_o kingdom_n but_o maintain_v and_o cherish_v you_o too_o in_o that_o grandeur_n to_o this_o very_a hour_n beside_o his_o kindness_n he_o show_v to_o that_o great_a number_n of_o your_o subject_n which_o he_o maintain_v and_o employ_v no_o less_o be_v expect_v from_o the_o holy_a see_v who_o your_o majesty_n so_o high_o oblige_v when_o reign_v who_o instead_o of_o outdo_v the_o king_n kindness_n towards_o your_o majesty_n stand_v now_o mark_v with_o ingratitude_n but_o now_o the_o king_n see_v his_o kingdom_n exhaust_v of_o money_n by_o the_o immense_a charge_n he_o have_v be_v at_o and_o his_o own_o subject_n croan_v under_o the_o misery_n that_o attend_v a_o war_n and_o then_o consider_v the_o effusion_n of_o blood_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o christian_n and_o that_o a_o prince_n who_o will_v reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o arm_n must_v make_v peace_n when_o he_o be_v the_o most_o victorious_a therefore_o the_o king_n amid_o his_o great_a victory_n stretch_v out_o the_o sceptre_n of_o peace_n to_o all_o his_o enemy_n which_o as_o he_o have_v do_v at_o first_o in_o particular_a to_o the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n out_o of_o compassion_n to_o withdraw_v he_o from_o his_o ruin_n so_o he_o do_v now_o in_o general_n to_o all_o the_o confederate_a prince_n but_o these_o as_o well_o as_o he_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o great_a hope_n and_o expect_v the_o turn_n of_o fortune_n refuse_v the_o king_n be_v fair_a offer_n and_o stand_v upon_o so_o high_a term_n which_o amount_v even_o to_o the_o pyrenean_n treaty_n a_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v expect_v from_o so_o victorious_a a_o prince_n as_o our_o king_n be_v yet_o the_o king_n be_v desirous_a to_o see_v the_o peace_n of_o europe_n establish_v for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v be_v willing_a to_o grant_v they_o more_o ample_a proposal_n such_o as_o he_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o will_v he_o accept_v of_o by_o the_o confederate_n and_o he_o meet_v with_o no_o other_o difficulty_n than_o the_o re-inthroning_a of_o your_o majesty_n which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o thing_n the_o king_n take_v the_o most_o to_o heart_n so_o he_o have_v labour_v for_o it_o more_o than_o for_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o it_o seem_v heaven_n be_v against_o it_o and_o will_v
