such_o a_o conquest_n be_v palpable_o opposite_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o all_o the_o prince_n and_o state_n of_o europe_n and_o last_o that_o to_o attempt_v a_o french_a conquest_n of_o england_n either_o for_o himself_o or_o king_n james_n be_v not_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n himself_o i_o omit_v show_v a_o french_a conquest_n be_v against_o the_o interest_n of_o king_n james_n for_o i_o do_v think_v it_o worth_a my_o while_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v against_o a_o man_n interest_n to_o have_v his_o estate_n take_v from_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n destroy_v king_n james_n have_v a_o child_n that_o he_o believe_v and_o you_o believe_v too_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o pain_n you_o take_v to_o be_v think_v to_o believe_v that_o useful_a flame_n of_o your_o pretend_a imposture_n which_o be_v at_o first_o take_v up_o and_o industrious_o promote_v like_o that_o of_o the_o irish_a cut_v the_o throat_n of_o all_o the_o people_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n to_o help_v forward_o this_o revolution_n to_o be_v a_o true_a prince_z of_o wales_n and_o at_o least_o this_o innocent_a child_n have_v not_o disoblige_v the_o king_n and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v he_o take_v pity_n of_o the_o nation_n however_o rebellious_a and_o ungrateful_a we_o have_v be_v to_o he_o but_o beside_o he_o have_v several_a time_n since_o his_o exile_n express_v himself_o in_o so_o pathetic_a and_o extenuate_a a_o style_n concern_v those_o subject_n that_o have_v use_v he_o so_o ill_o that_o it_o will_v be_v almost_o incredible_a if_o relate_v and_o though_o the_o prince_n of_o wales_n be_v dead_a he_o retain_v even_o for_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n such_o a_o fatherly_a affection_n as_o plain_o supersede_v royal_a resentment_n and_o i_o have_v hear_v one_o that_o be_v by_o say_v that_o upon_o a_o gentleman_n be_v mention_v even_o upon_o occasion_n of_o business_n the_o fault_n of_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n and_o that_o with_o all_o the_o modesty_n imaginable_a and_o he_o must_v touch_v very_o tender_o upon_o that_o string_n who_o will_v make_v his_o court_n to_o the_o king_n though_o such_o virulent_a pamphlet_n be_v license_v here_o against_o he_o the_o king_n reply_v that_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n have_v natural_a foundation_n of_o good_a ness_n that_o dr._n burnet_n and_o the_o bishop_n of_o london_n can_v never_o destroy_v and_o further_o they_o who_o have_v be_v at_o s●_n germane_a know_v with_o what_o indignation_n the_o king_n treat_v althought_n of_o restore_a he_o by_o any_o other_o method_n than_o by_o a_o great_a concurrence_n of_o his_o own_o people_n the_o king_n know_v how_o obstinate_o the_o people_n of_o britain_n nay_o many_o that_o be_v now_o his_o own_o friend_n will_v resist_v any_o other_o method_n and_o he_o know_v that_o the_o riches_n of_o a_o country_n be_v the_o people_n of_o it_o he_o will_v be_v himself_o and_o he_o will_v have_v his_o son_n the_o king_n of_o

his_o son_n when_o i_o weigh_v the_o good_a inclination_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o barbarous_a persecution_n and_o misrepresentation_n he_o have_v meet_v with_o i_o be_o shake_v with_o a_o

open_a in_o a_o excellent_a book_n print_v last_o summer_n call_v great_a britain_n just_a complaint_n and_o if_o i_o will_v entertain_v the_o world_n upon_o that_o subject_a i_o must_v either_o transcribe_v what_o may_v be_v find_v in_o that_o book_n or_o relate_v the_o history_n of_o the_o same_o matter_n of_o fact_n without_o do_v the_o same_o justice_n to_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o king_n that_o great_a and_o judicious_a author_n have_v discover_v the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o iniquity_n how_o such_o snare_n be_v lay_v for_o the_o king_n as_o a_o honest-minded_n man_n can_v scarce_o

of_o this_o war_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o interest_n of_o any_o of_o they_o that_o the_o french_a shall_v conquer_v we_o have_v our_o king_n their_o vassal_n or_o be_v master_n of_o our_o port_n
