by_o foreign_a nation_n nay_o as_o the_o time_n be_v now_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o prince_n of_o germany_n despise_v their_o own_o emperor_n will_v make_v alliance_n and_o join_v some_o

for_o these_o reason_n then_o it_o be_v my_o judgement_n that_o we_o shall_v choose_v some_o potent_a prince_n and_o that_o charles_n archduke_n of_o austria_n aught_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o other_o prince_n of_o germany_n as_o for_o those_o inconvenience_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o scare_v we_o i_o think_v they_o be_v far_o less_o than_o those_o that_o will_v arise_v if_o the_o

if_o his_o temper_n and_o disposition_n be_v not_o know_v for_o he_o be_v religious_a just_a and_o modest_a a_o hater_n of_o cruelty_n and_o a_o prince_n of_o pregnant_a part_n these_o his_o virtue_n will_v always_o mind_v he_o of_o his_o duty_n and_o of_o the_o care_n of_o the_o government_n
they_o who_o know_v he_o familiar_o much_o extol_v he_o and_o if_o we_o consider_v his_o father_n philip_n and_o grandfather_n maximilian_n we_o can_v doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o they_o
