of_o which_o i_o shall_v acquaint_v you_o viz._n that_o the_o war_n bear_v so_o very_o hard_o upon_o he_o that_o he_o lie_v under_o a_o necessity_n to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o utmost_a effort_n to_o

shall_v wave_v repeat_v any_o more_o of_o it_o but_o proceed_v to_o some_o other_o more_o believe_v and_o more_o probable_a reason_n which_o be_v that_o monsieur_n pontchartain_n his_o intendant_a general_n for_o maritime_a affair_n or_o his_o agent_n have_v recourse_n to_o the_o old_a french_a method_n of_o bribery_n and_o have_v make_v such_o offer_n of_o money_n to_o some_o that_o have_v command_n in_o the_o english_a fleet_n that_o they_o make_v it_o know_v have_v leave_v to_o accept_v the_o money_n and_o be_v only_o exhort_v to_o perform_v their_o duty_n to_o their_o majesty_n and_o their_o country_n or_o whether_o the_o jacobite_n party_n in_o england_n after_o have_v tell_v so_o many_o lie_v of_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o the_o general_a inclination_n of_o the_o people_n to_o return_v to_o their_o former_a slavery_n have_v also_o bring_v themselves_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o fleet_n will_v revolt_v and_o have_v impose_v the_o same_o upon_o the_o french_a king_n for_o truth_n or_o whether_o they_o have_v assure_v he_o their_o weakness_n or_o cowardice_n be_v such_o that_o they_o be_v easy_o overcome_v one_o of_o these_o it_o be_v general_o believe_v hasten_v the_o french_a to_o sea_n and_o upon_o the_o english_a coast_n and_o whichsoever_o it_o be_v though_o no_o thanks_o be_v due_a to_o such_o as_o will_v betray_v their_o
