prince_n and_o his_o minister_n but_o the_o french_a king_n little_a care_n how_o much_o he_o give_v so_o he_o may_v compass_v his_o end_n and_o gratify_v his_o ambition_n that_o monarch_n express_v

of_o in_o the_o world_n to_o illustrate_v his_o reign_n by_o some_o great_a action_n and_o eternize_v his_o memory_n by_o some_o surprise_v event_n his_o temper_n and_o inclination_n do_v natural_o
