of_o the_o french_a ambassador_n notwithstanding_o he_o be_v very_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o content_n of_o the_o memorial_n present_v before_o by_o the_o count_n de_fw-fr avaux_n but_o for_o all_o that_o both_o the_o marquis_n de_fw-fr albyville_n and_o those_o who_o have_v dictate_v the_o french_a memorial_n speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n the_o marquis_n maintain_v in_o the_o

1670._o betwixt_o charles_n the_o second_o and_o lewis_n the_o fourteen_o and_o suppose_n as_o indeed_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v that_o the_o say_a treaty_n have_v continue_v ever_o since_o with_o design_n to_o destroy_v england_n and_o the_o protesant_a religion_n which_o at_o first_o give_v birth_n to_o the_o say_a league_n he_o build_v upon_o this_o principle_n that_o the_o d._n of_o york_n who_o be_v the_o great_a promoter_n of_o it_o and_o who_o whilst_o he_o be_v in_o that_o station_n act_v in_o conformity_n with_o the_o say_v secret_a treaty_n have_v sufficient_o ratify_v the_o

which_o charles_n ii_o do_v not_o for_o fear_v of_o trouble_v his_o own_o repose_n the_o marquis_n de_fw-fr albyville_n know_v that_o this_o treaty_n have_v be_v print_v at_o paris_n 1682._o in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o war_n of_o holland_n by_o the_o abbot_n primi_fw-la but_o soon_o after_o suppress_v at_o the_o instance_n of_o my_o lord_n preston_n suppose_v he_o may_v say_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o selfsame_a treaty_n that_o his_o master_n have_v no_o treaty_n with_o france_n but_o what_o be_v in_o print_n so_o that_o the_o seem_a contradiction_n vanish_v as_o soon_o as_o we_o consider_v the_o person_n that_o speak_v the_o one_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o lewis_n fourteen_o who_o be_v not_o at_o all_o careful_a to_o husband_n the_o interest_n of_o his_o ally_n and_o who_o think_v he_o may_v speak_v whatsoever_o please_v he_o as_o he_o think_v he_o can_v compass_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v and_o according_o declare_v the_o truth_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o frankness_n and_o liberty_n the_o other_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o james_n ii_o who_o the_o society_n of_o the_o jesuit_n and_o their_o maxim_n have_v model_v for_o disguise_v the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o expose_v it_o but_o under_o covert_n of_o a_o equivocation_n by_o which_o mean_n if_o he_o own_v that_o which_o be_v true_a he_o reserve_v himself_o always_o the_o mean_n and_o the_o right_n of_o deny_v it_o when_o the_o own_n of_o it_o may_v prove_v a_o prejudice_n to_o he_o but_o not_o to_o make_v any_o further_a enlargement_n here_o upon_o the_o jesuitical_a character_n of_o which_o the_o marquis_n d'_fw-fr albyville_n have_v a_o competent_a share_n without_o which_o qualification_n he_o will_v scarce_o have_v be_v make_v choice_n of_o for_o a_o extraordinary_a envoy_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v see_v how_o any_o thing_n can_v more_o evident_o confirm_v the_o truth_n than_o the_o foresay_a memorial_n of_o the_o count_n d'_fw-fr avaux_n wherein_o he_o positive_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o alliance_n between_o lewis_n fourteen_o and_o james_n ii_o and_o i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o most_o resolve_a prejudice_n can_v object_v aught_o against_o this_o proof_n beside_o these_o three_o thing_n which_o be_v equal_o ridiculous_a the_o first_o be_v that_o king_n james_n ii_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o make_v good_a the_o word_n of_o a_o french_a ambassador_n speak_v at_o random_n second_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o english_a ambassador_n do_v not_o more_o punctual_o contradict_v the_o french_a memorial_n prove_v only_o at_o the_o most_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a enough_o to_o see_v the_o hollander_n affright_v with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o this_o secret_a alliance_n between_o both_o those_o king_n though_o he_o do_v not_o think_v fit_v to_o confirm_v the_o belief_n of_o that_o league_n by_o the_o memorial_n he_o present_v to_o the_o state_n general_n the_o 5_o of_o october_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v no_o such_o league_n at_o all_o notwithstanding_o the_o french_a ambassador_n think_v necessary_a to_o advance_v such_o a_o thing_n contrary_a to_o truth_n the_o three_o be_v that_o if_o the_o marquis_n d'_fw-fr albyville_n be_v guilty_a of_o some_o fault_n on_o this_o occasion_n that_o it_o be_v not_o just_a to_o lay_v the_o blame_n of_o it_o upon_o his_o master_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o he_o be_v never_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o very_a able_a and_o refine_a minister_n but_o in_o answer_n to_o these_o first_o the_o world_n know_v that_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o french_a ambassador_n be_v contrive_v at_o paris_n with_o the_o concurrence_n of_o mr._n skelton_n the_o ambassador_n of_o james_n ii_o so_o that_o we_o can_v pretend_v that_o this_o declaration_n be_v make_v by_o the_o french_a king_n without_o knowledge_n of_o the_o k._n of_o england_n and_o though_o mr._n skelton_n upon_o his_o return_n from_o france_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o tower_n for_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o that_o memorial_n yet_o we_o know_v this_o be_v only_o a_o pretext_n be_v set_v at_o liberty_n a_o few_o day_n after_o and_o make_v colonel_n of_o a_o regiment_n and_o not_o long_o after_o return_v thither_o not_o as_o a_o prisoner_n but_o to_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o it_o all_o which_o make_v it_o as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o this_o be_v only_o a_o feign_a imprisonment_n and_o not_o the_o punishment_n of_o a_o unfaithful_a discharge_n of_o a_o trust_n two_o i_o can_v no_o way_n conceive_v how_o any_o can_v imagine_v that_o the_o french_a k._n shall_v take_v the_o liberty_n peremptory_o to_o assert_v a_o alliance_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o it_o only_o because_o he_o think_v it_o be_v his_o interest_n so_o to_o do_v and_o that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v not_o permit_v to_o james_n ii_o to_o dissemble_v in_o a_o case_n where_o such_o a_o dissimulation_n be_v of_o use_n to_o he_o but_o i_o go_v further_o and_o say_v that_o for_o to_o discover_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o affect_a dissimulation_n of_o the_o english_a ambassador_n about_o the_o league_n with_o france_n we_o need_v only_o to_o examine_v the_o behaviour_n of_o james_n ii_o after_o that_o declaration_n of_o the_o french_a ambassador_n to_o the_o state_n general_n if_o the_o french_a ambassador_n or_o the_o king_n his_o master_n have_v advance_v a_o untruth_n in_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o alliance_n between_o lewis_n fourteen_o and_o james_n ii_o which_o can_v not_o be_v without_o a_o infraction_n of_o
