further_o unto_o you_o i_o answer_v the_o duke_n that_o i_o ever_o esteem_v more_o the_o reputation_n of_o a_o man_n of_o truth_n and_o integrity_n then_o of_o skill_n and_o subtlety_n which_o i_o

of_o inclination_n thereunto_o for_o that_o they_o have_v former_o give_v so_o resolute_a and_o distasteful_a a_o answer_n your_o majesty_n have_v just_a cause_n never_o again_o to_o cast_v so_o much_o as_o your_o thought_n this_o way_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o fitness_n of_o the_o prince_n his_o year_n and_o other_o civil_a regard_n may_v cause_v new_a

it_o will_v not_o but_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a difficulty_n to_o persuade_v your_o majesty_n and_o your_o minister_n that_o a_o match_n shall_v be_v hearken_v unto_o much_o less_o desire_v from_o hence_o but_o upon_o the_o same_o term_n the_o very_a thought_n and_o remembrance_n whereof_o be_v yet_o unpleasing_a in_o england_n so_o that_o to_o deal_v plain_o with_o he_o i_o neither_o

find_v not_o to_o grow_v from_o any_o particular_a dislike_n or_o want_v of_o affection_n in_o your_o majesty_n to_o spain_n or_o that_o many_o of_o the_o great_a or_o the_o principall_a person_n in_o
