A53430	The late prints for a standing army and in vindication of the militia consider'd, are in some parts reconcil'd.	Orme, Thomas, d. 1716.	1698 (1698)	Wing O435; ESTC R223777	18,508	24

a_o wind_n to_o serve_v their_o turn_n i_o can_v avoid_v think_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v watchful_a and_o in_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n and_o that_o our_o neighbour_n also_o will_v be_v waft_v over_o to_o our_o assistance_n as_o ready_o and_o as_o great_a number_n and_o with_o as_o good_a affection_n especial_o if_o we_o pay_v they_o again_o as_o our_o enemy_n have_v malice_n who_o we_o say_v be_v reduce_v to_o such_o poverty_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o cultivate_v their_o country_n and_o necessitate_v to_o court_v our_o king_n to_o a_o peace_n and_o yet_o on_o the_o sudden_a we_o have_v a_o formidable_a scheme_n of_o invasion_n we_o have_v have_v in_o former_a reign_n 40000_o black_a bill_n to_o destroy_v we_o in_o the_o revolution_n every_o individual_a person_n in_o fear_n of_o be_v murder_v by_o the_o irish_a and_o now_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o daily_a fear_n of_o the_o french_a if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o stand_a army_n to_o defend_v we_o nor_o do_v we_o think_v that_o if_o the_o french_a do_v not_o come_v immediate_o to_o we_o that_o our_o other_o neighbour_n will_v be_v more_o afraid_a of_o our_o come_n to_o they_o if_o our_o trade_n hold_v or_o increase_v i_o be_o near_o a_o assurance_n we_o may_v as_o soon_o transport_v as_o be_v invade_v and_o if_o we_o neither_o aggress_v abroad_o nor_o be_v invade_v at_o home_n its_o conclusive_a a_o stand_v establish_v army_n be_v to_o give_v law_n at_o home_n and_o then_o old_a england_n good_a night_n altogether_o for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v never_o be_v in_o fear_n of_o a_o invasion_n whilst_o we_o rely_v on_o god_n providence_n and_o be_v awake_a to_o use_v human_a reason_v and_o endeavour_n but_o allow_v our_o neighbour_n have_v attempt_v rash_a thing_n therefore_o shall_v we_o nurse_v up_o unadvised_a or_o non-presidented_n policy_n which_o may_v be_v like_o worm_n in_o child_n that_o eat_v their_o entrail_n be_v a_o supernumerary_a army_n to_o be_v keep_v up_o for_o mere_a

general_a i_o hope_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v infatuate_v into_o blindness_n carelessness_n and_o effeminacy_n but_o shall_v have_v a_o natural_a and_o political_a care_n keep_v our_o arm_n from_o rust_v and_o our_o ship_n ready_a to_o sail_v and_o our_o ambassador_n will_v be_v watchful_a and_o if_o we_o have_v not_o spy_n i_o hope_v we_o have_v friend_n that_o like_o starling_n to_o the_o dove-house_n will_v communicate_v to_o we_o when_o any_o great_a design_n be_v upon_o us._n it_o be_v confess_v the_o king_n come_v over_o with_o a_o small_a number_n yet_o king_n james_n have_v intimation_n of_o they_o and_o the_o preparation_n be_v examine_v how_o close_o soever_o the_o design_n be_v cover_v and_o although_o there_o be_v never_o a_o more_o general_a

he_o shall_v stretch_v so_o long_a a_o sea_n at_o that_o season_n and_o to_o a_o place_n which_o be_v the_o best_a and_o only_o one_o he_o can_v have_v be_v successful_a in_o and_o yet_o we_o have_v hear_v it_o be_v come_v very_o near_o a_o resolution_n of_o return_v though_o no_o army_n do_v or_o can_v come_v near_o to_o oppose_v he_o to_o keep_v a_o number_n of_o man_n for_o consumption_n mere_o of_o the_o product_n be_v like_o the_o lubbard_n in_o monastery_n heretofore_o and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o main_a of_o the_o argument_n it_o be_v requisite_a they_o shall_v have_v parallel_a cloister_n or_o cell_n and_o the_o like_a restraint_n to_o keep_v they_o within_o compass_n for_o it_o be_v apparent_a those_o we_o have_v have_v idle_a in_o nursery_n for_o this_o war_n have_v make_v horrid_a incursion_n into_o the_o civil_a right_n by_o streak_v and_o make_v themselves_o master_n of_o all_o the_o game_n in_o every_o royalty_n they_o come_v near_o and_o have_v not_o only_o break_v into_o all_o immorality_n and_o so_o voracious_o and_o prodigal_o waste_v and_o devour_v their_o landlord_n whereby_o that_o revenue_n itself_o that_o shall_v pay_v they_o and_o their_o quarter_n be_v much_o shorten_v and_o will_v be_v more_o for_o the_o road_n will_v not_o be_v passable_a and_o in_o all_o road_n the_o accommodation_n be_v very_o indifferent_a many_o public_a house_n be_v shut_v up_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a story_n to_o reckon_v how_o many_o have_v be_v murder_v and_o how_o magistracy_n have_v be_v affront_v a_o army_n be_v to_o be_v always_o busy_v either_o in_o their_o proper_a exercise_n or_o work_v military_a or_o have_v leisure_n from_o they_o if_o they_o be_v employ_v in_o cut_v river_n or_o make_v or_o mend_v highway_n they_o will_v be_v fit_a for_o fatigue_n in_o

even_o those_o that_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v think_v necessary_a for_o guard_n about_o this_o great_a town_n which_o i_o confess_v i_o think_v aught_o to_o be_v more_o than_o be_v in_o 80_o for_o several_a reason_n as_o i_o may_v instance_n hereafter_o and_o also_o public_a work_n in_o the_o frontier_n and_o garrison_n will_v keep_v the_o soldier_n in_o health_n and_o make_v they_o digest_v what_o be_v wholesome_a diet_n in_o their_o quarter_n i_o go_v not_o upon_o the_o distinct_a number_n of_o veteran_n troop_n or_o company_n because_o i_o do_v not_o find_v any_o certain_a number_n insist_v upon_o yet_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v observe_v that_o if_o this_o magnificent_a city_n spread_v her_o wing_n proportionable_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o she_o have_v do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o jealousy_n and_o fear_n of_o have_v her_o custom_n and_o privilege_n encroach_v upon_o and_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v subvert_v and_o as_o she_o have_v do_v even_o in_o this_o long_a war_n her_o street_n be_v much_o increase_v and_o people_v to_o the_o west_n and_o north_n and_o this_o principal_o by_o foreiner_n who_o be_v likely_a to_o increase_v wonderful_o more_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n not_o that_o i_o will_v say_v any_o thing_n to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o scripture_n declaration_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n and_o cause_n industry_n in_o a_o nation_n yet_o i_o say_v if_o the_o number_n increase_v by_o shoal_n of_o foreiner_n we_o must_v either_o have_v they_o absolute_o in_o the_o boundary_n of_o our_o

band_n can_v prevent_v a_o insurrection_n there_o whenever_o any_o pressure_n or_o caprichio_n shall_v dispose_v they_o to_o combine_v i_o do_v believe_v wife_n and_o child_n and_o a_o settle_a habitation_n go_v a_o great_a way_n towards_o a_o security_n but_o if_o france_n be_v so_o formidable_a as_o that_o it_o be_v prudent_a or_o necessary_a to_o watch_v for_o keep_v they_o out_o i_o shall_v be_v incline_v to_o conclude_v it_o be_v as_o requisite_a to_o have_v a_o careful_a eye_n upon_o those_o of_o that_o nation_n among_o we_o for_o i_o be_o moral_o assure_v england_n be_v never_o invade_v without_o a_o party_n within_o who_o give_v a_o invitation_n it_o be_v confess_v the_o city_n within_o the_o wall_n may_v be_v keep_v in_o safety_n and_o obedience_n by_o the_o

but_o the_o foreiner_n if_o combine_v may_v be_v embody_v and_o form_v and_o fix_v in_o such_o advantageous_a post_n as_o one_o shall_v find_v it_o a_o difficult_a matter_n to_o attack_v or_o subdue_v they_o especial_o if_o the_o nation_n be_v consternate_v with_o a_o invasion_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a there_o be_v so_o apparent_a a_o occasion_n to_o fear_n that_o we_o have_v too_o many_o of_o our_o
