and_o ingenious_o be_v to_o encourage_v the_o spaniard_n to_o invade_v his_o country_n and_o give_v the_o world_n a_o occasion_n to_o believe_v that_o his_o holiness_n be_v agree_v with_o they_o to_o

which_o render_v the_o king_n counsel_n very_o reasonable_a but_o only_o that_o it_o speak_v cursory_o however_o i_o know_v that_o the_o si●ur_fw-fr de_fw-fr lionne_n dispatch_n which_o be_v not_o
