a_o short_a discourse_n about_o our_o keep_v our_o money_n show_v that_o our_o money_n may_v be_v keep_v among_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o our_o confederate_n strong_o assist_v by_o a_o descent_n upon_o france_n by_o e._n l._n london_n print_v by_o b._n motte_n and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v by_o john_n whitlock_n near_o stationers-hall_n 1696._o a_o short_a discourse_n about_o our_o keep_v our_o money_n etc._n etc._n our_o money_n be_v run_v away_o by_o million_o year_n after_o year_n which_o will_v soon_o bring_v we_o if_o it_o be_v not_o do_v already_o to_o beggary_n and_o ruin_n and_o now_o all_o the_o talk_n be_v of_o mend_v our_o money_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v almost_o bleed_v to_o death_n and_o be_v still_o bleed_v and_o he_o observe_v his_o blood_n to_o be_v bad_a shall_v be_v consult_v and_o contrive_v how_o to_o mend_v his_o blood_n whereas_o his_o first_o care_n shall_v be_v how_o to_o stop_v his_o bleed_a i_o confess_v our_o money_n be_v not_o so_o good_a as_o it_o shall_v be_v or_o rather_o it_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o it_o can_v be_v but_o yet_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n we_o shall_v think_v how_o to_o keep_v it_o before_o we_o think_v how_o to_o mend_v it_o for_o as_o thing_n now_o go_v whether_o it_o be_v mend_v or_o not_o mend_v it_o will_v be_v carry_v all_o away_o it_o be_v now_o evident_a to_o all_o man_n but_o some_o man_n see_v it_o long_o since_o that_o our_o great_a payment_n abroad_o and_o chief_o those_o in_o flanders_n be_v the_o main_a cause_n of_o the_o exportation_n of_o our_o money_n it_o therefore_o high_o concern_v we_o to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o those_o payment_n at_o any_o rate_n for_o we_o can_v bear_v they_o no_o long_o we_o have_v lose_v so_o much_o blood_n already_o that_o it_o be_v death_n to_o lose_v more_o but_o shall_v we_o not_o assist_v our_o confederate_n yes_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n for_o otherwise_o all_o europe_n must_v be_v enslave_v to_o the_o french_a and_o we_o among_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v therefore_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o we_o keep_v our_o money_n and_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a that_o we_o powerful_o assist_v our_o confederate_n both_o which_o thing_n though_o seem_v so_o inconsistent_a may_v at_o once_o be_v do_v by_o our_o assail_a the_o french_a coast_n by_o sea_n or_o in_o other_o word_n by_o a_o vigorous_a descent_n upon_o france_n a_o project_n of_o such_o a_o defcent_n i_o presume_v to_o poolish_a in_o the_o year_n ninety_o one_o which_o project_n be_v general_o approve_v and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n be_v in_o expectation_n that_o it_o will_v be_v prosecute_v also_o the_o year_n next_o after_o a_o descent_n be_v intend_v and_o another_o the_o year_n follow_v though_o as_o it_o fall_v out_o those_o design_n be_v not_o put_v in_o execution_n and_o in_o the_o three_o year_n be_v our_o attempt_n at_o camaret_n bay_n but_o as_o to_o the_o project_n it_o be_v brief_o this_o that_o a_o good_a body_n of_o foot_n twenty_o thousand_o at_o least_o but_o the_o more_o the_o better_o be_v ship_v for_o the_o coast_n of_o france_n there_o to_o move_v to_o and_o fro_o as_o they_o see_v occasion_n and_o to_o land_n where_o they_o find_v it_o convenient_a and_o further_o to_o seize_v and_o fortify_v some_o open_a sea-town_n so_o as_o it_o may_v contain_v a_o great_a and_o strong_a garrison_n which_o garrison_n be_v put_v in_o a_o state_n of_o defence_n the_o naval_a army_n to_o proceed_v to_o new_a adventure_n and_o to_o seize_v and_o fortify_v other_o place_n in_o like_a manner_n here_o i_o be_o to_o make_v good_a the_o two_o thing_n before_o mention_v first_o that_o in_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v keep_v our_o money_n and_o second_o that_o we_o shall_v effectual_o assist_v our_o confederate_n to_o which_o two_o thing_n i_o shall_v add_v a_o three_o that_o the_o design_n be_v very_o feasable_a and_o hardly_o possible_a to_o miscarry_v in_o the_o first_o place_n therefore_o while_o we_o assail_v the_o sea-coast_n of_o france_n and_o plant_v garrison_n upon_o it_o though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a expense_n we_o shall_v still_o keep_v our_o money_n among_o ourselves_o for_o whither_o shall_v it_o go_v the_o french_a have_v good_a luck_n if_o they_o get_v any_o thing_n from_o we_o in_o this_o affair_n and_o none_o else_o have_v to_o do_v with_o it_o at_o present_v our_o army_n in_o flanders_n carry_v our_o money_n thither_o some_o say_v a_o million_o and_o a_o half_a yearly_a and_o our_o fleet_n keep_v upon_o the_o coast_n of_o spain_n stop_v money_n from_o come_v to_o we_o from_o thence_o and_o a_o great_a sum_n go_v yearly_a to_o piedmont_n but_o by_o a_o descent_n upon_o france_n our_o money_n will_v be_v no_o way_n diminish_v and_o what_o ever_o be_v lay_v out_o will_v come_v back_o and_o circulate_v among_o we_o here_o will_v be_v no_o carry_v out_o our_o coin_n and_o bullion_n nor_o the_o horrible_a disadvantage_n of_o remittance_n in_o the_o second_o place_n by_o a_o descent_n upon_o france_n we_o shall_v give_v most_o effectual_a assistance_n to_o our_o confederate_n if_o we_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o overlie_v the_o french_a at_o sea_n and_o thereby_o destroy_v their_o trade_n and_o navigation_n even_o this_o thing_n only_o will_v be_v a_o effectual_a assistance_n for_o whereas_o now_o the_o french_a be_v rampant_a by_o the_o immense_a riches_n it_o be_v their_o gazettier_n word_n which_o they_o have_v take_v from_o we_o they_o will_v then_o be_v impoverish_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n against_o the_o confederate_n and_o this_o thing_n we_o must_v do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n for_o we_o be_v ruin_v unless_o we_o powerful_o protect_v our_o trade_n and_o the_o same_o force_n that_o protect_v the_o trade_n of_o england_n powerful_o will_v destroy_v that_o of_o france_n which_o thing_n i_o hope_v our_o parliament_n have_v do_v already_o by_o give_v a_o large_a sum_n than_o former_o for_o our_o sea-service_n i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o our_o overlay_v our_o enemy_n by_o sea_n will_v prove_v a_o great_a assistance_n to_o our_o friend_n but_o if_o beside_o this_o we_o also_o assail_v the_o french_a coast_n with_o land-force_n that_o assistance_n will_v be_v much_o great_a for_o it_o will_v make_v so_o great_a a_o diversion_n that_o both_o flanders_n and_o germany_n and_o likewise_o piedmont_n and_o catalonia_n will_v feel_v a_o exceed_a great_a ease_n and_o benefit_n by_o it_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o maintain_v a_o army_n in_o flanders_n it_o will_v bring_v swift_a destruction_n upon_o we_o but_o we_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v a_o coast_n war_n and_o our_o confederate_n must_v and_o will_v be_v content_a if_o we_o do_v for_o they_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v able_a suppose_v we_o take_v forty_o thousand_o man_n out_o of_o flanders_n to_o assail_v the_o french_a coast_n if_o these_o draw_v away_o or_o keep_v back_o a_o great_a number_n of_o frenchman_n as_o they_o will_v certain_o do_v it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n or_o better_a and_o we_o may_v be_v make_v descent_n in_o normandy_n and_o bretagne_n before_o the_o army_n in_o flanders_n can_v take_v the_o field_n by_o these_o descent_n we_o shall_v touch_v the_o enemy_n in_o his_o most_o sensible_a part_n as_o his_o majesty_n have_v be_v please_v to_o express_v it_o that_o be_v on_o his_o sea_n coast_n how_o tender_a they_o be_v here_o we_o find_v at_o our_o bombard_n of_o haure_n the_o grace_n when_o we_o come_v before_o that_o town_n their_o militia_n and_o regular_a troop_n be_v command_v thither_o from_o all_o quarter_n with_o all_o haste_n possible_a and_o the_o alarm_n reach_v paris_n itself_o from_o whence_o that_o king_n as_o all_o our_o relation_n agree_v send_v away_o his_o own_o guard_n to_o the_o sea_n coast_n what_o to_o do_v not_o to_o hinder_v our_o bombardment_n for_o therein_o they_o can_v do_v no_o service_n but_o to_o hinder_v the_o descent_n of_o our_o land-force_n who_o be_v not_o above_o seven_o thousand_o in_o number_n it_o be_v this_o handful_n of_o man_n that_o cause_v all_o that_o terror_n and_o affrightment_n we_o may_v see_v therefore_o that_o though_o the_o project_n here_o offer_v shall_v fail_v in_o the_o main_a though_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o fortify_v and_o make_v good_a any_o town_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o land_n our_o man_n yet_o the_o very_a attempt_v these_o thing_n in_o several_a place_n in_o one_o place_n to_o day_n and_o a_o hundred_o mile_n off_o to_o morrow_n will_v so_o harass_n and_o torment_v the_o french_a that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o but_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n that_o the_o project_n here_o offer_v shall_v fail_v in_o the_o main_a or_o not_o have_v its_o full_a
