in_o england_n give_v the_o french_a a_o fair_a opportunity_n of_o rid_v their_o hand_n by_o degree_n from_o the_o english_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o want_v of_o such_o a_o union_n as_o he_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v but_o because_o they_o be_v glad_a of_o any_o opportunity_n to_o supply_v their_o want_n at_o home_n by_o plunder_v and_o ravage_v the_o border_n of_o england_n and_o because_o as_o he_o himself_o confess_v the_o french_a pay_v they_o very_o well_o beside_o for_o their_o pain_n so_o that_o we_o may_v well_o apply_v to_o scotland_n what_o jagurtha_n if_o i_o mistake_v not_o say_v of_o rome_n o_o romam_fw-la venalem_fw-la dummodo_fw-la emptorem_fw-la invenisset_fw-la for_o the_o scot_n be_v always_o for_o he_o that_o do_v bid_v most_o but_o let_v we_o hear_v his_o last_o argument_n upon_o this_o head_n defence_n 10._o it_o will_v be_v of_o general_a advantage_n to_o the_o protestant_a interest_n and_o contribute_v to_o the_o advancement_n of_o pure_a christianity_n without_o any_o of_o the_o romish_a sophistication_n which_o certain_o ought_v to_o weigh_v much_o with_o all_o true_a protestant_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o that_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o conclave_n of_o rome_n have_v espouse_v the_o quarrel_n of_o the_o spaniard_n in_o this_o affair_n as_o a_o cause_n of_o religion_n doubtless_o the_o poor_a american_n will_v be_v more_o inclinable_a to_o embrace_v christianity_n when_o they_o find_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o moral_n and_o doctrine_n betwixt_o protestant_n and_o papist_n and_o see_v that_o the_o former_a treat_v they_o with_o humanity_n and_o seek_v their_o welfare_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n whereas_o the_o spaniard_n have_v render_v themselves_o and_o the_o religion_n they_o profess_v odious_a by_o the_o inhuman_a cruelty_n and_o brutish_a lust_n which_o they_o have_v exercise_v upon_o so_o many_o million_o of_o the_o native_n this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o calumny_n that_o a_o unexceptionable_a author_n of_o their_o own_o don_n bartholomew_n de_fw-fr las_fw-fr casas_n bishop_n of_o chiapa_n former_o mention_v who_o be_v a_o eye-witness_n of_o their_o cruelty_n give_v a_o account_n that_o they_o have_v in_o his_o time_n destroy_v above_o 40_o million_o of_o the_o poor_a indian_n though_o they_o receive_v they_o with_o the_o great_a kindness_n imaginable_a be_v ready_a to_o do_v they_o all_o the_o friendly_a office_n that_o one_o man_n can_v desire_v of_o another_o and_o testify_v their_o great_a inclination_n to_o have_v embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n but_o the_o spaniard_n aim_v at_o the_o destruction_n and_o not_o at_o the_o conversian_a of_o the_o indian_n and_o be_v avowed_o charge_v with_o it_o by_o the_o say_a bishop_n who_o in_o many_o place_n of_o his_o book_n declare_v that_o after_o they_o have_v send_v for_o the_o chief_n of_o the_o country_n to_o meet_v they_o in_o a_o amicable_a manner_n which_o the_o poor_a harmless_a creature_n do_v without_o suspicion_n of_o any_o fraud_n these_o merciless_a tyrant_n murder_v they_o by_o wholesale_n on_o purpose_n to_o make_v themselves_o terrible_a to_o they_o this_o be_v a_o practice_n so_o inconsistent_a with_o humanity_n that_o all_o the_o people_n ●f_n the_o world_n ought_v to_o have_v resent_v it_o as_o have_v much_o more_o reason_n to_o declare_v the_o spaniard_n to_o be_v enemy_n to_o mankind_n than_o ever_o the_o roman_a senate_n have_v to_o declare_v nero_n to_o be_v such_o but_o this_o sort_n of_o treatment_n compare_v with_o what_o they_o make_v other_o to_o suffer_v may_v well_o be_v call_v mercy_n for_o though_o it_o be_v death_n the_o indian_n be_v hereby_o quick_o deliver_v from_o their_o misery_n whereas_o they_o put_v multitude_n of_o other_o to_o linger_a death_n that_o they_o may_v feel_v themselves_o die_v gradual_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o so_o intolerable_a neither_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o those_o poor_a people_n that_o have_v the_o misfortune_n to_o survive_v that_o cruelty_n for_o the_o whole_a time_n of_o their_o life_n under_o that_o miserable_a servitude_n be_v but_o death_n prolong_v or_o make_v his_o attack_n upon_o they_o by_o intolerable_a labour_n and_o continual_a hunger_n the_o most_o insupportable_a of_o all_o plague_n those_o poor_a creature_n that_o toil_n in_o the_o mine_n and_o be_v employ_v in_o pearl-fishing_a etc._n etc._n have_v no_o more_o sustenance_n allow_v they_o and_o that_o too_o of_o the_o coarse_a sort_n than_o be_v just_a enough_o to_o keep_v soul_n and_o body_n together_o in_o order_n to_o prolong_v their_o misery_n then_o let_v any_o man_n who_o have_v but_o the_o least_o remain_v of_o humanity_n leave_v he_o judge_v whether_o the_o scot_n can_v be_v criminal_a if_o they_o shall_v have_v actual_o land_a upon_o a_o spanish_a settlement_n and_o have_v seize_v the_o same_o in_o order_n to_o deliver_v their_o brethren_n the_o son_n of_o adam_n from_o such_o hellish_a servitude_n and_o oppression_n as_o the_o above_o mention_v bishop_n describe_v and_o if_o no_o man_n that_o have_v any_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n within_o he_o can_v say_v they_o can_v what_o shadow_n of_o reason_n be_v there_o to_o blame_v the_o scot_n for_o erect_v a_o colony_n where_o the_o spaniard_n never_o have_v any_o foot_n answer_n if_o this_o can_v be_v prove_v beyond_o contradiction_n i_o must_v confess_v no_o body_n can_v blame_v the_o scot_n for_o settle_v themselves_o at_o darien_n but_o till_o that_o be_v do_v we_o must_v ask_v our_o author_n pardon_n to_o suspend_v at_o least_o our_o judgement_n as_o to_o the_o legality_n of_o their_o title_n to_o it_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o the_o matter_n he_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o build_v altogether_o upon_o that_o foundation_n so_o much_o as_o upon_o their_o have_v forfeit_v their_o title_n by_o their_o unheard_a of_o cruelty_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n else_o this_o tedious_a repetition_n when_o he_o have_v enlarge_v himself_o sufficient_o before_o upon_o that_o theme_n which_o indeed_o may_v serve_v to_o render_v the_o spaniard_n odious_a but_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v but_o a_o slender_a addition_n towards_o the_o strengthen_n of_o their_o title_n upon_o darien_n since_o with_o the_o same_o right_n not_o only_o the_o scot_n but_o any_o nation_n whatsoever_o may_v lay_v claim_n to_o all_o america_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o spaniard_n we_o will_v therefore_o hear_v what_o he_o have_v to_o allege_v for_o we_o caledonian_n in_o the_o three_o head_n defence_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v whether_o the_o scot_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o england_n may_v probable_o maintain_v their_o foot_n there_o which_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n may_v very_o well_o be_v determine_v in_o the_o affirmative_a 1._o because_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o scotland_n being_n more_o zealous_a for_o it_o and_o unanimous_a in_o it_o than_o they_o have_v be_v in_o any_o other_o thing_n for_o forty_o or_o fifty_o year_n past_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o they_o will_v use_v their_o utmost_a effort_n to_o support_v themselves_o in_o it_o by_o their_o own_o strength_n or_o if_o that_o will_v not_o do_v by_o make_v alliance_n with_o other_o nation_n that_o be_v able_a to_o assist_v they_o with_o a_o naval_a force_n 2._o if_o they_o meet_v with_o no_o other_o opposition_n but_o what_o the_o spaniard_n be_v able_a to_o make_v to_o they_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n and_o royal_a burrough_n of_o scotland_n to_o raise_v money_n upon_o their_o land_n etc._n etc._n to_o increase_v their_o stock_n for_o the_o american_n trade_n and_o buy_v ship_n of_o force_n to_o protect_v it_o nay_o without_o that_o it_o be_v but_o give_v commission_n to_o the_o buccaneer_n to_o become_v a_o over-match_n for_o the_o spaniard_n 3._o suppose_v the_o french_a shall_v offer_v to_o join_v with_o the_o spaniard_n and_o assist_v they_o to_o drive_v the_o scot_n from_o darien_n as_o some_o say_v they_o have_v already_o proffer_v we_o be_v not_o to_o imagine_v that_o the_o spaniard_n will_v accept_v their_o proffer_v in_o this_o case_n when_o they_o refuse_v they_o as_o to_o the_o drive_v the_o moor_n from_o before_o ceuta_n the_o reason_n be_v obvious_a they_o decline_v the_o accept_n their_o proffer_v as_o to_o ceuta_n because_o they_o will_v not_o thereby_o give_v the_o french_a a_o opportunity_n of_o possess_v themselves_o of_o any_o of_o their_o town_n in_o africa_n as_o it_o be_v but_o too_o common_a for_o foreign_a auxiliary_n to_o do_v in_o such_o case_n then_o certain_o they_o have_v much_o great_a reason_n to_o refuse_v their_o proffer_v as_o to_o darien_n america_n be_v of_o infinite_o more_o value_n to_o they_o than_o some_o african_a town_n and_o if_o once_o the_o french_a shall_v get_v foot_v there_o it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o the_o spanish_a grandee_n any_o further_a to_o dispute_v the_o
