the_o policy_n of_o other_o prince_n will_v not_o only_o roast_v but_o kindle_v the_o fire_n to_o roast_v the_o spaniard_n in_o the_o fat_a of_o the_o french_a but_o because_o these_o two_o monarchy_n

the_o politic_a reason_n of_o other_o prince_n require_v they_o to_o keep_v these_o two_o monarchy_n in_o a_o even_a balance_n wherefore_o every_o time_n they_o see_v one_o of_o they_o fall_v they_o
