A48745	A preservative for our money; or A way proposed, whereby some money may be kept in England which otherwise will all be gone or How we may carry on the war against France with vigour, and with much better effect than hitherto, and yet keep our money.

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 effect_n in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o thing_n propose_v be_v feasable_a and_o easy_a and_o hardly_o possible_a to_o miscarry_v it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a that_o the_o french_a shall_v hinder_v our_o land_n it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a they_o shall_v hinder_v our_o fortify_v or_o shall_v take_v from_o we_o the_o place_n we_o fortify_v i_o shall_v speak_v first_o to_o our_o land_n and_o here_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v resolve_v to_o land_n at_o one_o place_n precise_o and_o the_o french_a shall_v discover_v our_o design_n some_o month_n before_o hand_n and_o shall_v according_o provide_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o place_n with_o a_o great_a body_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n with_o fort_n and_o intrenchment_n and_o with_o bomb_n and_o cannon_n and_o we_o know_v all_o this_o shall_v attempt_v that_o place_n notwithstanding_o we_o may_v fair_o be_v repulse_v and_o baffle_v as_o we_o be_v at_o camaret_n bay_n but_o if_o we_o be_v at_o large_a to_o land_n where_o we_o see_v convenient_a there_o be_v no_o such_o danger_n when_o we_o sail_v from_o that_o bay_n towards_o flanders_n along_o by_o the_o french_a shore_n the_o whole_a country_n be_v in_o a_o high_a alarm_n and_o they_o bring_v down_o all_o their_o force_n to_o guard_n their_o coast_n but_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v it_o from_o those_o who_o see_v it_o with_o their_o eye_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o place_n convenient_a for_o land_v that_o have_v no_o guard_n at_o all_o either_o upon_o they_o or_o near_o they_o we_o see_v far_o and_o wide_a that_o the_o coast_n be_v clear_a and_o both_o our_o landman_n and_o seaman_n be_v most_o cheerful_o desirous_a to_o go_v upon_o french_a ground_n if_o there_o have_v be_v order_n for_o it_o nor_o have_v they_o in_o truth_n find_v any_o opposition_n sir_n walter_n raleigh_n do_v full_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o land_n upon_o a_o enemy_n coast_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v hinder_v provide_v the_o assailant_n be_v master_n at_o sea_n and_o in_o case_n the_o coast_n be_v large_a and_o accessible_a which_o thing_n be_v also_o confirm_v by_o the_o experience_n of_o all_o age_n for_o it_o be_v hardly_o to_o be_v find_v in_o history_n that_o ever_o any_o attempt_n of_o this_o kind_n miscarry_v except_o we_o which_o i_o mention_v but_o now_o and_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o land_n upon_o france_n to_o speak_v of_o that_o in_o particular_a can_v be_v prevent_v suppose_v we_o have_v forty_o thousand_o man_n embark_v to_o assail_v the_o french_a coast_n and_o the_o french_a have_v fifty_o thousand_o to_o defend_v it_o their_o coast_n upon_o our_o channel_n for_o that_o must_v be_v the_o scene_n of_o these_o action_n be_v five_o hundred_o mile_n in_o length_n so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o thousand_o man_n for_o every_o ten_o mile_n but_o how_o slender_a a_o guard_n will_v this_o be_v against_o our_o invade_a army_n have_v they_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n or_o a_o thousand_o for_o every_o five_o mile_n of_o ground_n all_o will_v be_v find_v too_o few_o to_o oppose_v our_o land_n i_o hope_v i_o have_v make_v out_o that_o our_o land_n can_v be_v hinder_v by_o the_o french_a i_o must_v now_o show_v that_o they_o can_v hinder_v our_o fortify_v it_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a if_o such_o a_o body_n of_o man_n have_v the_o sea_n and_o a_o fleet_n behind_o they_o and_o have_v at_o least_o ten_o day_n time_n to_o entrench_v before_o a_o superior_a or_o even_o a_o equal_a force_n can_v be_v bring_v against_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a so_o to_o cover_v themselves_o as_o not_o to_o fear_v the_o insult_v of_o any_o enemy_n the_o work_v we_o cast_v up_o at_o landen_n in_o one_o short_a night_n the_o french_a line_n in_o flanders_n and_o several_a late_a circumvallation_n show_v what_o great_a thing_n great_a number_n can_v do_v but_o we_o must_v not_o think_v of_o pionier_n for_o this_o work_n our_o soldier_n must_v do_v it_o themselves_o and_o they_o will_v do_v it_o cheerful_o if_o those_o that_o labour_n have_v some_o pay_v extraordinary_a which_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o old_a prince_n of_o orange_n the_o grandfather_n and_o great_a uncle_n of_o our_o king_n moreover_o the_o place_n where_o we_o entrench_v will_v be_v the_o place_n we_o intend_v for_o a_o garrison_n and_o the_o line_n which_o may_v be_v full_o man_v by_o ten_o thousand_o man_n when_o the_o work_n be_v complete_v may_v contain_v the_o whole_a army_n for_o a_o time_n for_o none_o of_o these_o garrison_n shall_v be_v less_o than_o ten_o thousand_o the_o great_a they_o be_v the_o far_o they_o will_v command_v and_o the_o better_a they_o will_v maintain_v themselves_o and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o point_n remain_v which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a that_o the_o french_a shall_v take_v these_o garrison_n from_o we_o and_o this_o be_v evident_a of_o itself_o if_o the_o place_n be_v as_o they_o ought_v relievable_a by_o sea_n and_o not_o command_v by_o land_n a_o place_n that_o be_v complete_o fortify_v that_o have_v a_o great_a garrison_n with_o great_a store_n of_o cannon_n and_o have_v room_n for_o great_a renforcement_n and_o that_o lie_v opposite_a to_o england_n with_o a_o narrow_a sea_n between_o may_v receive_v these_o renforcement_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o supply_n with_o every_o snatch_v of_o wind_n i_o say_v such_o a_o place_n as_o this_o may_v just_o be_v repute_v impregnable_a thus_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o project_n which_o be_v the_o establish_v some_o garrison_n upon_o the_o coast_n of_o france_n there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v do_v the_o rest_n will_v do_v itself_o and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v elsewhere_o england_n will_v then_o be_v glorious_a when_o we_o have_v a_o range_v of_o garrison_n the_o whole_a length_n of_o the_o channel_n upon_o french_a ground_n and_o maintain_v by_o french_a contribution_n every_o such_o garrison_n with_o a_o thousand_o or_o two_o of_o horse_n and_o dragoon_n put_v into_o it_o will_v dismember_v a_o whole_a province_n if_o tourville_n when_o he_o land_a so_o easy_o at_o torbay_n have_v have_v a_o army_n on_o board_n he_o and_o have_v settle_v a_o rampant_a garrison_n there_o will_v not_o the_o whole_a county_n of_o devon_n and_o cornwall_n to_o boot_v have_v be_v dismember_a by_o it_o and_o have_v not_o deal_v or_o any_o place_n upon_o the_o down_n do_v the_o same_o by_o kent_n and_o any_o place_n in_o sussex_n and_o another_o in_o dorset_n dismember_v each_o of_o those_o county_n especial_o if_o the_o french_a be_v still_o master_n at_o sea_n and_o have_v still_o a_o army_n on_o board_n to_o pour_v in_o upon_o we_o when_o they_o please_v from_o any_o of_o those_o place_n consider_v what_o a_o horrible_a condition_n we_o have_v then_o be_v in_o and_o in_o the_o same_o condition_n will_v france_n be_v in_o case_n this_o project_n be_v due_o prosecute_v they_o will_v be_v so_o distract_v and_o confound_v by_o it_o that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o confederate_n assail_a they_o in_o all_o quarter_n we_o may_v then_o hope_v for_o a_o good_a and_o speedy_a end_n of_o this_o war_n whereas_o by_o keep_v our_o army_n in_o flanders_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o it_o for_o as_o thing_n go_v there_o though_o our_o force_n be_v never_o so_o great_a though_o we_o overpower_v the_o enemy_n never_o so_o much_o we_o must_v account_v it_o a_o glorious_a success_n if_o we_o take_v one_o town_n in_o a_o year_n but_o what_o do_v this_o signify_v towards_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o war_n at_o this_o rate_n we_o may_v be_v twenty_o year_n in_o recover_a flanders_n and_o we_o for_o our_o part_n shall_v be_v ruin_v in_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o that_o time_n for_o if_o our_o foreign_a payment_n continue_v two_o year_n long_o they_o will_v entire_o ruin_v we_o and_o i_o doubt_v one_o year_n will_v do_v it_o if_o from_o flanders_n we_o can_v carry_v the_o war_n into_o france_n there_o will_v be_v some_o hope_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a we_o can_v do_v this_o because_o we_o do_v not_o
