humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o whole_a matter_n carry_v so_o much_o of_o reason_n along_o with_o it_o that_o i_o think_v its_o unanswerable_a not_o that_o i_o have_v any_o opinion_n i_o have_v

more_o abstruse_a matter_n and_o may_v be_v perform_v by_o a_o man_n of_o but_o indifferent_a education_n trade_n be_v altogether_o of_o as_o great_a consequence_n and_o importance_n to_o this_o

and_o ability_n whereby_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o cope_v with_o our_o enemy_n and_o reduce_v they_o to_o reason_n but_o hitherto_o we_o have_v not_o take_v such_o proper_a measure_n in_o our_o naval_a preparation_n as_o we_o ought_v which_o i_o humble_o conceive_v have_v be_v the_o genuine_a cause_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o misfortune_n and_o loss_n at_o sea_n during_o this_o war_n and_o which_o have_v great_o impair_v their_o majesty_n revenue_n and_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o nation_n there_o can_v no_o revolution_n happen_v in_o any_o kingdom_n be_v it_o never_o so_o just_a but_o there_o will_v be_v some_o malcontent_n and_o the_o near_a ruin_n their_o cause_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o will_v they_o struggle_v in_o it_o be_v like_o the_o convulsion_n of_o a_o

eye_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o all_o europe_n upon_o this_o august_n assembly_n wait_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o debate_n thereof_o which_o be_v vigorous_a and_o early_a money_n be_v the_o sinew_n of_o war_n will_v beget_v the_o like_a vigour_n and_o resolution_n in_o the_o ally_n and_o prevent_v the_o french_a king_n from_o make_v any_o separate_a peace_n which_o by_o his_o emissary_n he_o have_v with_o so_o much_o industry_n endeavour_v as_o know_v he_o must_v sink_v under_o the_o wait_n of_o the_o confederate_a arms._n but_o it_o astonish_v i_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o two_o nation_n who_o be_v so_o potent_a at_o sea_n as_o we_o and_o the_o dutch_a be_v shall_v not_o make_v a_o more_o advantageous_a use_n of_o that_o strength_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o the_o being_n strong_a at_o sea_n be_v ever_o a_o unspeakable_a advantage_n which_o be_v apparent_a to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o we_o be_v notwithstanding_o those_o loss_n we_o have_v have_v and_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n general_o work_v and_o bring_v thing_n to_o pass_v by_o natural_a cause_n and_o effect_n as_o may_v evident_o be_v see_v by_o the_o late_a

give_v just_a ground_n and_o occasion_n for_o it_o and_o be_v that_o which_o turn_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n and_o thereby_o beget_v a_o union_n of_o party_n and_o be_v the_o great_a outward_a cause_n of_o our_o present_a settlement_n therefore_o in_o vain_a will_v it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o cry_v unto_o god_n for_o help_n and_o to_o give_v a_o blessing_n to_o our_o endeavour_n when_o we_o take_v not_o apt_a and_o proper_a measure_n and_o it_o seem_v high_o unreasonable_a his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o expose_v to_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o enemy_n to_o the_o great_a hazard_n of_o his_o royal_a person_n upon_o who_o safety_n depend_v not_o only_o the_o happiness_n of_o these_o kingdom_n but_o all_o europe_n and_o he_o have_v hitherto_o be_v oblige_v to_o
