country_n incline_v they_o some_o time_n to_o take_v arm_n against_o their_o king_n the_o inconstancy_n and_o sudden_a motion_n to_o which_o they_o be_v subject_a not_o permit_v any_o body_n to_o

to_o expect_v to_o keep_v so_o hot_a and_o so_o impetuous_a a_o nation_n as_o we_o be_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o reason_n the_o punishment_n of_o marillac_n and_o of_o montmorency_n have_v reduce_v

of_o say_v that_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o weakness_n of_o your_o majesty_n minority_n during_o which_o man_n have_v so_o insensible_o accustom_a themselves_o to_o all_o sort_n of_o

to_o these_o consideration_n that_o your_o majesty_n health_n have_v not_o always_o permit_v you_o to_o be_v in_o the_o army_n and_o that_o the_o injustice_n of_o the_o french_a be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o be_v never_o satisfy_v in_o a_o place_n where_o they_o venture_v their_o life_n unless_o they_o see_v their_o king_n who_o presence_n they_o fancy_v do_v in_o some_o measure_n secure_v

that_o the_o prudence_n of_o your_o conduct_n have_v not_o only_o be_v accompany_v with_o good_a fortune_n but_o also_o that_o the_o boldness_n of_o your_o commander_n have_v be_v second_v several_a thing_n be_v observable_a in_o this_o war._n the_o first_o thing_n be_v that_o your_o majesty_n only_o engage_v into_o it_o because_o you_o can_v not_o avoid_v it_o and_o that_o you_o only_o lay_v down_o your_o arm_n when_o it_o be_v proper_a so_o to_o do_v this_o remark_n be_v the_o more_o glorious_a for_o your_o majesty_n in_o that_o you_o be_v often_o solicit_v by_o your_o ally_n to_o take_v arm_n and_o still_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o and_o that_o during_o the_o war_n your_o enemy_n often_o propose_v a_o particular_a peace_n to_o you_o which_o you_o will_v never_o hearken_v to_o because_o you_o can_v not_o forsake_v the_o interest_n of_o your_o ally_n those_o who_o shall_v know_v that_o your_o majesty_n have_v be_v forsake_v by_o several_a prince_n who_o be_v engage_v with_o you_o without_o abandon_v any_o of_o they_o and_o that_o notwithstanding_o some_o of_o those_o who_o do_v remain_v steady_a in_o your_o party_n fail_v you_o in_o many_o important_a thing_n they_o have_v still_o receive_v effect_n from_o your_o majesty_n suitable_a to_o your_o promise_n those_o i_o say_v will_v acknowledge_v that_o if_o your_o majesty_n good_a fortune_n have_v appear_v in_o the_o success_n of_o your_o affair_n your_o virtue_n equal_v your_o good_a fortune_n i_o be_o sensible_a that_o have_v you_o break_v your_o word_n it_o will_v have_v lessen_v your_o reputation_n considerable_o and_o that_o the_o least_o loss_n of_o that_o kind_n in_o a_o great_a prince_n be_v irreparable_a but_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o have_v perform_v one_o duty_n in_o sundry_a occasion_n in_o which_o vengeance_n and_o the_o quiet_a which_o be_v natural_o desire_v after_o a_o war_n induce_v one_o to_o do_v the_o contrary_n it_o require_v no_o less_o prudence_n than_o force_n nor_o less_o effort_v of_o mind_n than_o of_o arm_n to_o persist_v almost_o alone_o in_o the_o same_o design_n which_o be_v to_o have_v be_v prosecute_v by_o the_o union_n of_o many_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o defection_n of_o several_a prince_n mantua_n of_o germany_n that_o the_o duke_n of_o parma_n be_v oblige_v to_o abandon_v your_o party_n through_o the_o necessity_n of_o his_o affair_n that_o the_o duke_n of_o mantua_n death_n and_o the_o levity_n of_o his_o dowager-mother_n to_o the_o young_a duke_n who_o be_v no_o soon_o mistress_n but_o forget_v all_o her_o obligation_n to_o france_n she_o turn_v public_o against_o it_o that_o the_o decease_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n and_o the_o imprudence_n of_o his_o widow_n who_o lose_v herself_o because_o she_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o assistance_n that_o be_v offer_v she_o i_o say_v it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o all_o these_o accident_n never_o shake_v your_o majesty_n resolution_n and_o though_o they_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o your_o affair_n they_o do_v not_o hinder_v you_o from_o persist_v in_o your_o design_n the_o second_o remark_n worthy_a of_o great_a consideration_n on_o this_o subject_n be_v that_o your_o majesty_n never_o will_v condescend_v to_o free_v yourself_o from_o the_o peril_n of_o war_n by_o expose_v christendom_n to_o that_o of_o the_o ottoman_a arm_n which_o be_v often_o offer_v to_o you_o your_o majesty_n be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o you_o may_v have_v accept_v such_o a_o succour_n with_o justice_n and_o yet_o that_o knowledge_n can_v not_o prevail_v with_o you_o to_o take_v a_o resolution_n dangerous_a for_o religion_n but_o advantageous_a to_o obtain_v a_o peace_n the_o example_n of_o some_o of_o your_o predecessor_n and_o of_o divers_a prince_n of_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n who_o do_v particular_o affect_v to_o appear_v as_o religious_a before_o god_n as_o they_o be_v in_o reality_n to_o their_o own_o interest_n prove_v too_o weak_a to_o induce_v you_o to_o do_v that_o which_o history_n inform_v we_o have_v often_o be_v practise_v by_o other_o the_o three_o circumstance_n which_o have_v cause_v a_o great_a deal_n

which_o want_v provision_n as_o the_o least_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o great_a design_n the_o general_n of_o a_o army_n must_v take_v a_o particular_a care_n of_o every_o thing_n

that_o they_o be_v soon_o overthrow_v and_o that_o the_o overturning_a of_o one_o be_v capable_a to_o stop_v a_o train_n a_o long_a while_n therefore_o it_o behoove_v he_o to_o consider_v the_o
