the_o power_n of_o that_o prince_n but_o then_o the_o number_n of_o they_o be_v so_o inconsiderable_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o party_n that_o they_o do_v deserve_v a_o formal_a confutation_n for_o my_o own_o part_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o to_o take_v one_o side_n or_o other_o i_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o be_v of_o the_o former_a than_o the_o latter_a every_o one_o know_v that_o nothing_o be_v so_o dangerous_a as_o to_o despise_v a_o enemy_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a to_o form_v the_o most_o advantageous_a idea_n of_o he_o this_o will_v

in_o the_o world_n to_o draw_v so_o ill_a a_o consequence_n from_o it_o lorraine_n it_o be_v indeed_o very_o true_a what_o you_o have_v say_v i_o will_v only_o add_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v ever_o

be_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n one_o be_v full_a of_o fire_n and_o heat_n their_o blood_n boil_v perpetual_o within_o they_o and_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o imagine_v that_o every_o

their_o best_a office_n for_o they_o always_o believe_v and_o fear_v the_o worst_a it_o be_v therefore_o but_o a_o piece_n of_o justice_n to_o attribute_v those_o great_a idea_n which_o some_o perhaps_o have_v entertain_v about_o the_o puissance_n of_o the_o french_a rather_o to_o this_o spirit_n of_o fear_n and_o coldness_n of_o temperature_n than_o to_o any_o desire_n to_o see_v the_o

they_o be_v divide_v into_o several_a party_n and_o few_o very_o few_o be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o behold_v thing_n with_o disinterest_v eye_n and_o with_o a_o clear_a and_o distinct_a view_n when_o there_o appear_v a_o unknown_a man_n in_o company_n who_o reason_n upon_o the_o present_a affair_n we_o do_v amuse_v ourselves_o so_o far_o as_o to_o examine_v his_o reason_n to_o see_v whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a that_o discussion_n will_v be_v too_o troublesome_a and_o few_o person_n will_v think_v it_o worth_a their_o while_n we_o only_o content_v ourselves_o with_o consider_v whether_o what_o this_o unknown_a person_n have_v say_v agree_v with_o our_o inclination_n or_o no_o if_o it_o do_v he_o have_v reason_n on_o his_o side_n and_o can_v deceive_v we_o but_o if_o it_o

for_o perhaps_o we_o may_v meet_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o vexation_n upon_o that_o score_n schomberg_n but_o can_v we_o be_v so_o happy_a then_o as_o to_o meet_v with_o some_o of_o the_o
