will_v find_v nothing_o but_o iniquity_n fraud_n and_o beggary_n entail_v upon_o the_o nation_n which_o you_o if_o you_o please_v may_v call_v glorious_a liberty_n and_o privilege_n but_o every_o

i_o have_v say_v that_o the_o revolution_n in_o the_o first_o step_v of_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o violation_n of_o league_n and_o solemn_a treaty_n and_o the_o public_a faith_n of_o nation_n as_o ever_o be_v know_v for_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o that_o perfect_a peace_n and_o amity_n that_o be_v then_o between_o k._n james_n and_o the_o state_n but_o also_o contrary_a to_o their_o express_a declaration_n to_o his_o ambassador_n in_o the_o very_a case_n now_o sir_n this_o you_o attack_v most_o terrible_o and_o furious_o p._n 9_o as_o in_o the_o first_o place_n you_o say_v the_o state_n make_v no_o war_n upon_o england_n but_o only_o lend_v their_o force_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n no_o not_o at_o all_o sir_n because_o the_o force_n be_v all_o they_o all_o the_o time_n under_o their_o pay_n and_o because_o they_o receive_v 600000_o l._n for_o the_o expedition_n this_o make_v it_o a_o plain_a case_n that_o the_o state_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n and_o that_o they_o honest_a man_n keep_v their_o faith_n all_o the_o while_n inviolable_o with_o the_o king_n even_o as_o when_o the_o dutch_a deny_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n in_o india_n and_o cut_v the_o throat_n of_o the_o english_a why_o sir_n they_o only_o lend_v themselves_o to_o the_o infidel_n and_o they_o be_v the_o murderer_n though_o it_o be_v commit_v by_o dutch_a hand_n well_o no_o body_n know_v the_o advantage_n of_o a_o good_a advocate_n however_o you_o add_v though_o they_o have_v declare_v the_o war_n in_o their_o own_o name_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o may_v be_v justify_v yes_o most_o certain_o because_o they_o not_o only_o do_v not_o declare_v it_o but_o declare_v most_o solemn_o and_o express_o the_o clean_a contrary_n but_o no_o

have_v lend_v their_o help_a hand_n to_o a_o neigbbour_a protestant_a church_n and_o state_n with_o all_o doubt_n sir_n it_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n of_o dutch_a justice_n and_o generosity_n to_o invade_v a_o neighbour_a prince_n in_o perfect_a peace_n with_o they_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o assure_v his_o ambassador_n they_o have_v no_o design_n against_o he_o these_o sir_n be_v terrible_a demonstration_n and_o who_o can_v say_v any_o thing_n against_o they_o but_o methinks_v you_o may_v have_v use_v your_o victory_n a_o little_a more_o moderate_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o confound_v your_o adversary_n by_o such_o thunder_a argument_n but_o you_o must_v over_o and_o above_o call_v he_o liar_n and_o villain_n and_o cerberus_n beside_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n sir_n the_o question_n here_o if_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v it_o be_v not_o about_o cause_n and_o help_a hand_n but_o concern_v breach_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o solemn_a league_n and_o treaty_n if_o therefore_o your_o protestant_a ally_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o help_v one_o of_o themselves_o to_o cut_v the_o throat_n of_o his_o father_n why_o let_v they_o do_v it_o for_o be_v dutch_n no_o body_n expect_v otherwise_o from_o they_o but_o what_o need_v they_o at_o the_o same_o time_n assure_v the_o old_a gentleman_n that_o they_o mean_v he_o no_o harm_n but_o all_o the_o kindness_n in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o have_v resolve_v to_o assist_v some_o neighbour_a rebel_n why_o they_o may_v do_v as_o they_o please_v it_o be_v but_o act_v like_o themselves_o but_o to_o do_v this_o while_n they_o be_v under_o the_o bond_n of_o league_n and_o treaty_n and_o present_a promise_n and_o assurance_n to_o the_o contrary_a this_o sir_n by_o your_o favour_n be_v a_o little_a too_o much_o even_o for_o our_o protestant_a ally_n who_o notwithstanding_o may_v be_v allow_v as_o much_o in_o such_o case_n as_o any_o people_n in_o the_o world_n what_o tragical_a work_n do_v you_o make_v with_o the_o

for_o if_o unnatural_a disobedience_n be_v no_o impeachment_n to_o one_o man_n virtue_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o another_o and_o god_n have_v not_o give_v the_o five_o commandment_n to_o common_a
