this_o princess_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v more_o favourable_a than_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v for_o i_o proclaim_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n that_o i_o hold_v christina_n for_o the_o most_o extraordinary_a person_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o clearest-sighted_n and_o most_o know_a queen_n that_o have_v ever_o appear_v upon_o the_o earth_n that_o her_o discourse_n be_v adorable_a answerable_a to_o her_o wit_n that_o she_o understand_v herself_o well_o enough_o to_o take_v up_o and_o know_v great_a spirit_n and_o great_a man_n and_o last_o that_o she_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o fair_a and_o most_o extraordinary_a achievement_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v do_v by_o any_o heroical_a spirit_n in_o antiquity_n but_o if_o i_o say_v that_o she_o make_v but_o little_a account_n of_o christian_a religion_n that_o she_o have_v a_o faith_n very_o particular_a to_o herself_o that_o she_o be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o inconstant_a there_o be_v none_o of_o those_o that_o ever_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o have_v frequent_v her_o court_n that_o do_v not_o full_o accord_v with_o i_o and_o be_v not_o constrain_v to_o confess_v that_o my_o conception_n of_o she_o do_v she_o no_o wrong_n but_o if_o any_o accuse_v i_o of_o too_o little_a respect_n to_o a_o head_n that_o wear_v a_o crown_n to_o speak_v thereof_o with_o such_o liberty_n i_o answer_v that_o i_o owe_v she_o no_o such_o respect_n but_o to_o follow_v she_o own_o maxim_n i_o owe_v she_o rather_o the_o contrary_a although_o in_o truth_n i_o dare_v say_v that_o i_o bear_v she_o no_o hatred_n than_o any_o such_o respect_n i_o be_v neither_o bear_v her_o subject_a nor_o her_o slave_n she_o never_o do_v i_o any_o good_a although_o she_o be_v bind_v to_o have_v do_v it_o and_o all_o the_o obligation_n that_o ever_o i_o have_v to_o she_o that_o i_o remember_v be_v that_o she_o receive_v i_o favourable_o when_o i_o have_v first_o the_o honour_n to_o kiss_v her_o hand_n and_o that_o i_o deserve_v to_o obtain_v her_o approbation_n if_o i_o may_v believe_v the_o report_n that_o one_o make_v to_o i_o thereof_o that_o have_v ordinary_a communication_n with_o she_o but_o i_o have_v learn_v long_o since_o to_o slight_v the_o approbation_n of_o four_o sort_n of_o person_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o a_o ignorant_a because_o he_o be_v uncapable_a of_o understand_v the_o value_n of_o a_o thing_n of_o a_o flatterer_n because_o he_o applaud_v for_o his_o own_o end_n of_o a_o deceiver_n because_o ordinary_o his_o thought_n be_v disguise_v and_o of_o a_o light_n and_o unconstant_a person_n because_o the_o esteem_n that_o such_o a_o one_o make_v of_o any_o thing_n be_v breed_v rather_o by_o fancy_n and_o humour_n than_o from_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o christina_n be_v either_o ignorant_a or_o a_o flatterer_n it_o can_v perhaps_o be_v affirm_v with_o truth_n but_o to_o believe_v that_o she_o be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o inconstant_a one_o will_v thereby_o do_v she_o no_o wrong_n it_o must_v be_v confess_v
