vast_a difference_n between_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o war_n maintain_v abroad_o and_o the_o desolation_n of_o a_o war_n bring_v home_o to_o our_o own_o door_n while_o the_o dutch_a maintain_v their_o

the_o dutch_a by_o their_o hire_a troop_n be_v a_o very_a powerful_a state_n but_o be_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o worst_a of_o any_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n to_o entertain_v a_o war_n in_o

in_o the_o world_n we_o come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o examine_v how_o england_n stand_v with_o respect_n to_o such_o a_o union_n england_n be_v not_o one_o jot_n less_o concern_v in_o the_o

and_o dutch_a they_o may_v bid_v very_o fair_a for_o a_o universal_a empire_n over_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n our_o interest_n in_o the_o west-indian_a colony_n of_o america_n come_v next_o into_o consideration_n it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o security_n of_o our_o plantation_n who_o extent_n be_v exceed_o great_a that_o no_o union_n be_v make_v between_o the_o french_a

this_o union_n as_o it_o respect_v the_o interest_n of_o trade_n in_o the_o world_n the_o interest_n of_o trade_n be_v the_o interest_n of_o nation_n peace_n be_v the_o end_n of_o war_n or_o at_o

dutch_a and_o spaniard_n from_o the_o two_o former_a to_o the_o latter_a in_o manufacture_n of_o their_o own_o growth_n and_o operation_n the_o spaniard_n who_o be_v a_o nation_n that_o make_v the_o

they_o be_v a_o subtle_a but_o a_o very_a slothful_a nation_n they_o buy_v almost_o all_o their_o necessary_a thing_n of_o foreigner_n they_o have_v in_o a_o manner_n no_o manufacture_n among_o they_o

the_o spaniard_n for_o on_o the_o first_o occasion_n of_o a_o rupture_n with_o these_o country_n the_o immediate_a course_n the_o spaniard_n take_v be_v to_o seize_v upon_o all_o the_o english_a or_o

it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v take_v their_o plate-ship_n and_o sometime_o plunder_v the_o coast-town_n in_o the_o spanish_a west-indies_n which_o at_o best_a will_v be_v but_o a_o small_a amends_o to_o the_o seizure_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o so_o many_o merchant_n nay_o they_o be_v not_o only_o so_o ill_a merchant_n as_o to_o suffer_v stranger_n to_o engross_v their_o trade_n but_o even_o
