for_o the_o ally_n to_o strike_v if_o they_o will_v but_o go_v to_o the_o expense_n of_o augment_v their_o force_n the_o french_a have_v make_v very_o great_a effort_n this_o war_n and_o his_o

but_o still_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o the_o french_a king_n do_v not_o love_n to_o see_v his_o kingdom_n in_o so_o universal_a a_o desolation_n when_o those_o who_o be_v soldier_n rather_o than_o

the_o french_a king_n as_o well_o as_o the_o ally_n and_o therefore_o what_o the_o ally_n have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o raise_v such_o a_o army_n for_o the_o next_o campagne_n as_o may_v put_v they_o

the_o ally_n have_v this_o to_o encourage_v their_o vigorous_a prosecution_n of_o this_o war_n i_o speak_v particular_o as_o to_o england_n and_o holland_n that_o they_o have_v a_o king_n who_o do_v yet_o venture_v his_o precious_a life_n for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o common_a cause_n more_o free_o than_o they_o can_v venture_v their_o purse_n let_v the_o king_n be_v great_a enemy_n
