the_o case_n of_o disband_v the_o army_n at_o present_n brief_o and_o impartial_o consider_v publish_a by_o john_n nutt_n near_o stationer_n hall_n 1698._o the_o case_n of_o disband_v the_o army_n at_o present_n brief_o and_o impartial_o consider_v i_o shall_v reduce_v my_o thought_n about_o this_o matter_n within_o as_o small_a a_o compass_n as_o may_v be_v and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o trouble_v the_o reader_n with_o histostorical_a quotation_n either_o out_o of_o ancient_n or_o modern_a author_n as_o altogether_o foreign_a to_o the_o purpose_n unless_o they_o be_v prove_v to_o agree_v with_o the_o present_a conjuncture_n of_o affair_n in_o every_o particular_a and_o so_o far_o it_o may_v be_v own_a that_o man_n in_o the_o same_o circumstance_n will_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o in_o take_v true_a measure_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o any_o government_n man_n must_v examine_v the_o present_a state_n of_o affair_n both_o within_o and_o without_o it_o and_o thing_n that_o may_v happen_v hereafter_o and_o always_o to_o provide_v against_o the_o most_o evident_a and_o likely_a danger_n i_o shall_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o a_o army_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n be_v consistent_a with_o our_o constitution_n if_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o realm_n require_v it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v make_v appear_v that_o the_o present_a government_n which_o under_o god_n be_v the_o best_a security_n we_o have_v for_o our_o religion_n liberty_n and_o property_n be_v in_o evident_a danger_n without_o a_o army_n and_o that_o in_o the_o present_a state_n of_o affair_n our_o liberty_n and_o property_n can_v be_v infringe_v nor_o molest_v by_o one_o this_o i_o hope_v will_v set_v this_o great_a case_n in_o a_o true_a light_n first_o that_o the_o present_a government_n be_v in_o evident_a danger_n without_o a_o competent_a number_n of_o land_n force_n for_o its_o defence_n the_o posture_n of_o england_n at_o present_a be_v this_o in_o relation_n to_o safety_n that_o there_o be_v prince_n abroad_o that_o pretend_v a_o right_a to_o wear_v its_o imperial_a crown_n who_o be_v protect_v and_o support_v by_o the_o most_o powerful_a monarch_n in_o christendom_n who_o be_v able_a enough_o still_o notwithstanding_o his_o late_a restitution_n to_o do_v what_o he_o please_v with_o the_o empire_n spain_n and_o holland_n unless_o england_n join_v with_o they_o for_o the_o common_a liberty_n in_o which_o its_o own_o be_v certain_o involve_v it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o this_o powerful_a monarch_n pretend_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o prince_n that_o be_v descend_v from_o he_o a_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o spain_n and_o all_o the_o dominion_n thereunto_o belong_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o the_o present_a king_n which_o be_v a_o fair_a step_n to_o universal_a monarchy_n and_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a that_o if_o this_o monarch_n can_v once_o secure_a england_n than_o he_o will_v be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a his_o pretension_n in_o spite_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o ally_n and_o portugal_n too_o if_o it_o join_v with_o they_o this_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v absolute_o his_o interest_n to_o have_v england_n at_o his_o devotion_n which_o he_o can_v hardly_o expect_v from_o the_o present_a government_n and_o if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o than_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v safe_a and_o advisable_a to_o lay_v ourselves_o open_a to_o a_o neighbour_n so_o powerful_a both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n who_o interest_n it_o be_v to_o subdue_v we_o who_o want_v no_o pretence_n for_o it_o and_o who_o have_v seldom_o fail_v to_o prosecute_v his_o interest_n when_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n have_v offer_v for_o it_o but_o they_o say_v that_o a_o good_a fleet_n and_o a_o well_o train_v militia_n be_v sufficient_a to_o put_v we_o out_o of_o danger_n as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o must_v be_v own_a that_o the_o honour_n glory_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o nation_n do_v chief_o depend_v upon_o our_o fleet_n but_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o consider_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o french_a king_n can_v put_v out_o all_o his_o fleet_n whenever_o he_o please_v and_o that_o he_o can_v pursue_v his_o design_n with_o more_o secrecy_n and_o expedition_n than_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o government_n can_v admit_v but_o the_o king_n of_o england_n can_v put_v out_o a_o fleet_n without_o the_o help_n of_o his_o parliament_n which_o must_v meet_v together_o and_o settle_v fund_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o the_o fleet_n without_o which_o the_o king_n can_v have_v a_o sufficient_a credit_n the_o case_n be_v so_o it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v or_o it_o be_v but_o too_o probable_a that_o it_o will_v be_v so_o that_o the_o french_a king_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n will_v put_v out_o his_o whole_a fleet_n soon_o than_o we_o can_v put_v out_o we_o even_o though_o his_o majesty_n shall_v immediate_o call_v a_o parliament_n and_o desire_v supply_n for_o a_o fleet_n every_o time_n the_o french_a work_n in_o their_o dock_n at_o breast_n rochefort_n and_o dunkirk_n as_o if_o they_o design_v to_o set_v out_o their_o fleet_n or_o the_o parliament_n must_v of_o course_n allow_v the_o king_n every_o year_n a_o fund_z for_o the_o set_n out_o a_o fleet_n as_o in_o time_n of_o war_n and_o beside_o though_o we_o can_v be_v ready_a as_o soon_o as_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o consider_v whether_o if_o they_o shall_v arm_v in_o these_o three_o place_n at_o once_o and_o the_o hogue_n we_o can_v consider_v the_o accident_n of_o wether_n hinder_v their_o land_n upon_o we_o from_o every_o one_o or_o any_o one_o of_o these_o place_n this_o seem_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o have_v another_o defence_n ready_a in_o case_n the_o first_o shall_v fail_v which_o as_o it_o appear_v from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v may_v very_o well_o be_v this_o defence_n therefore_o must_v be_v a_o land_n force_n that_o the_o militia_n be_v not_o at_o present_a a_o competent_a defence_n be_v own_a by_o those_o who_o propose_v method_n to_o render_v it_o serviceable_a i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o undervalue_v militia_n no_o doubt_v they_o can_v render_v service_n especial_o the_o foot_n be_v interline_v with_o regular_a troop_n or_o they_o may_v be_v put_v into_o the_o less_o expose_v garrison_n to_o draw_v out_o from_o thence_o the_o regular_a troop_n to_o reinforce_v a_o army_n but_o as_o for_o horse_n the_o horse_n must_v be_v train_v as_o well_o as_o the_o man_n or_o else_o the_o brave_a man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v render_v no_o service_n upon_o horse_n that_o be_v not_o train_v but_o if_o the_o militia_n can_v be_v render_v serviceable_a for_o our_o defence_n against_o the_o invasion_n of_o discipline_v troop_n as_o those_o very_a person_n that_o will_v disband_v the_o army_n must_v own_o that_o it_o be_v not_o at_o present_a it_o be_v fit_a to_o consider_v that_o a_o militia_n under_o such_o regulation_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o make_v it_o serviceable_a will_v then_o enter_v into_o the_o very_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o perpetual_a expense_n upon_o the_o subject_a and_o that_o it_o must_v vest_n as_o great_a a_o military_a power_n in_o the_o king_n as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o army_n at_o his_o command_n or_o else_o it_o can_v be_v think_v to_o make_v it_o serviceable_a this_o be_v the_o very_a case_n of_o sweden_n puffendorf_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n pay_v no_o other_o force_n out_o of_o his_o coffer_n but_o the_o lifeguard_n and_o the_o foot-guard_n i_o mean_v in_o sweden_n the_o rest_n be_v the_o militia_n of_o the_o country_n maintain_v by_o tenor_n from_o the_o crown_n which_o be_v the_o very_a original_a of_o militia_n and_o keep_v in_o constant_a duty_n and_o discipline_n but_o pray_v have_v this_o militia_n preserve_v the_o right_n and_o property_n of_o the_o people_n be_v not_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n as_o absolute_a a_o monarch_n as_o any_o in_o christendom_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o find_v a_o country_n in_o the_o world_n not_o for_o off_o call_v holland_n where_o they_o maintain_v all_o the_o liberty_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v in_o a_o commonwealth_n with_o a_o army_n and_o the_o king_n at_o the_o head_n of_o it_o without_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o militia_n in_o its_o constitution_n but_o a_o army_n be_v require_v only_o during_o the_o present_a state_n of_o affair_n in_o christendom_n which_o as_o experience_n tell_v we_o have_v never_o continue_v long_o in_o the_o same_o posture_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o
