for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o there_o still_o remain_v a_o party_n there_o who_o never_o love_v the_o p._n of_o o._n and_o be_v no_o better_o incline_v to_o he_o as_o king_n as_o to_o the_o

when_o they_o be_v advance_v the_o prince_n have_v almost_o as_o many_o independent_a general_n as_o they_o have_v army_n and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v with_o what_o difficulty_n the_o german_a

by_o a_o singular_a way_n he_o have_v above_o all_o other_o prince_n that_o even_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n the_o whole_a revenue_n of_o his_o kingdom_n come_v into_o his_o exchequer_n every_o 4_o

affair_n be_v manage_v with_o secrecy_n and_o steadiness_n from_o whence_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o he_o be_v likely_a to_o weary_v out_o the_o confederate_n even_o upon_o the_o defensive_a part_n at_o their_o charge_n than_o they_o be_v to_o gain_v any_o advantage_n upon_o he_o even_o though_o we_o be_v able_a to_o provide_v our_o quota_fw-la of_o the_o expense_n and_o supply_v fresh_a army_n in_o conjunction_n and_o according_a to_o the_o exigence_n of_o the_o confederate_n but_o what_o can_v we_o hope_v to_o do_v when_o the_o sheaf_n of_o arrow_n be_v unloose_v and_o any_o of_o the_o confederate_n shall_v make_v a_o separate_a peace_n can_v it_o be_v conceive_v that_o we_o can_v be_v able_a to_o cope_v with_o the_o french_a k._n when_o the_o circumvallation_n be_v break_v and_o he_o shall_v be_v at_o liberty_n to_o turn_v a_o uninterrupted_a force_n upon_o we_o when_o we_o be_v exhaust_v by_o tax_n and_o so_o divide_v among_o ourselves_o upon_o account_n of_o the_o interest_n of_o king_n james_n and_o the_o ill_a understanding_n betwixt_o the_o ch._n of_o england_n and_o the_o dissenter_n the_o monarchical_a and_o commonwealth_n man_n the_o case_n be_v thus_o i_o think_v we_o ought_v serious_o to_o consider_v for_o who_o cause_n we_o begin_v the_o war_n it_o be_v first_o proclaim_v here_o and_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a eyesore_n both_o to_o the_o french_a and_o confederate_n that_o king_n james_n will_v join_v with_o neither_o party_n but_o that_o he_o design_v to_o have_v stand_v neuter_n but_o the_o state_n and_o confederate_n find_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v he_o fly_v for_o refuge_n to_o that_o prince_n who_o sole_o be_v not_o a_o enemy_n to_o his_o person_n and_o be_v likely_a to_o protect_v he_o though_o he_o have_v decline_v to_o join_v in_o a_o league_n with_o he_o which_o as_o matter_n fall_v out_o have_v be_v his_o only_a security_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o revolution_n here_o be_v the_o contrivance_n of_o the_o confederate_n but_o principal_o of_o spain_n and_o the_o state_n to_o make_v a_o powerful_a diversion_n against_o france_n and_o engage_v we_o in_o their_o quarrel_n and_o to_o add_v the_o whole_a force_n of_o england_n to_o their_o defence_n since_o therefore_o the_o war_n be_v begin_v and_o be_v continue_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o state_n and_o those_o prince_n and_o have_v be_v so_o destructive_a to_o ourselves_o that_o as_o it_o be_v manage_v beside_o the_o inestimable_a loss_n we_o have_v sustain_v we_o be_v force_v to_o contribute_v so_o great_a a_o share_n of_o our_o own_o money_n to_o support_v they_o it_o can_v but_o be_v think_v most_o advisable_a before_o you_o consent_v to_o raise_v money_n to_o send_v commissioner_n to_o the_o state_n to_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o continue_v the_o war_n and_o such_o only_a to_o be_v send_v who_o may_v discover_v the_o secret_n of_o their_o council_n and_o their_o strength_n and_o if_o they_o find_v they_o in_o both_o agreeable_a to_o our_o wish_n then_o to_o know_v what_o share_n they_o will_v bear_v of_o the_o expense_n for_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o as_o we_o sustain_v all_o this_o misery_n and_o damage_n for_o their_o sake_n and_o in_o subservience_n to_o their_o single_a interest_n they_o and_o not_o we_o shall_v bear_v the_o burden_n for_o to_o tell_v we_o at_o this_o time_n of_o the_o day_n that_o we_o have_v put_v k._n william_n upon_o the_o war_n be_v a_o cold_a consolation_n and_o a_o ill_a requital_n for_o our_o easiness_n to_o subject_n ourselves_o to_o dutch_a stratagem_n if_o therefore_o the_o state_n and_o confederate_n will_v pay_v the_o debt_n of_o four_o million_o be_v it_o more_o or_o less_o i_o think_v our_o country_n man_n will_v be_v content_a to_o submit_v to_o the_o raise_v a_o fund_z of_o two_o million_o more_o for_o the_o next_o compaign_n and_o upon_o no_o other_o term_n i_o think_v it_o can_v be_v
