as_o it_o will_v be_v a_o extraordinary_a piece_n of_o flattery_n to_o determine_v that_o the_o imperialist_n shall_v be_v infallible_o victor_n i_o believe_v that_o before_o we_o leave_v this_o first_o point_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o examine_v what_o will_v probable_o happen_v in_o case_n the_o army_n shall_v join_v and_o the_o french_a shall_v get_v the_o day_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v it_o will_v require_v a_o long_a discourse_n to_o make_v the_o reader_n apprehend_v the_o bad_a consequence_n of_o such_o a_o loss_n to_o the_o imperialist_n it_o be_v notorious_a that_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o strong_a place_n which_o the_o french_a possess_v in_o lorain_n burgundy_n and_o alsatia_n after_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o battle_n germany_n will_v labour_v under_o two_o inevitable_a mischief_n first_o to_o see_v that_o army_n beat_v and_o consequent_o utter_o ruin_v and_o cut_v off_o in_o the_o pursuit_n the_o second_o to_o see_v the_o french_a pass_v the_o rhine_n at_o brisgow_n and_o there_o cut_v out_o such_o troublesome_a work_n for_o germany_n which_o yet_o she_o never_o behold_v nor_o have_v ever_o suffer_v in_o those_o part_n again_o if_o by_o a_o attempt_n no_o less_o prosperous_a than_o the_o former_a the_o emperor_n and_o the_o empire_n shall_v make_v a_o second_o trial_n and_o be_v so_o unfortunate_a as_o to_o lose_v a_o second_o battle_n a_o thing_n not_o unlikely_a whether_o this_o campaign_n or_o the_o next_o consider_v how_o the_o correspondency_n of_o the_o french_a be_v maintain_v in_o the_o court_n of_o bavaria_n and_o other_o court_n of_o the_o empire_n we_o must_v look_v upon_o all_o that_o part_n of_o germany_n which_o border_n upon_o the_o rhine_n for_o two_o or_o three_o day_n journey_n together_o total_o lose_v without_o hope_n of_o recovery_n and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o those_o country_n be_v all_o consume_v and_o waste_v and_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o afford_v conveniency_n for_o winter_n quarter_n nor_o to_o supply_v the_o imperial_a army_n in_o their_o march_n and_o this_o be_v very_o near_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v think_v observable_a in_o case_n of_o the_o march_n of_o a_o imperial_a army_n in_o the_o enemy_n country_n and_o in_o case_n of_o give_v battle_n which_o be_v the_o first_o point_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o that_o of_o lay_v a_o siege_n as_o to_o what_o have_v pass_v at_o the_o siege_n of_o philipsburgh_n and_o maestricht_n with_o different_a enemy_n two_o thing_n be_v observable_a the_o first_o that_o the_o french_a understand_v very_o well_o how_o to_o fortify_v their_o strong_a hold_n according_a to_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o art_n and_o also_o for_o the_o second_o they_o understand_v as_o well_o how_o to_o defend_v their_o fortification_n &_o dispute_v it_o inch_n by_o inch_n with_o their_o enemy_n with_o a_o admirable_a conduct_n and_o undaunted_a courage_n from_o which_o reflection_n it_o may_v be_v natural_o conclude_v that_o in_o case_n the_o imperialist_n be_v enter_v into_o a_o enemy_n country_n go_v about_o to_o lay_v any_o formal_a siege_n as_o without_o question_n it_o must_v be_v before_o some_o considerable_a town_n it_o be_v ten_o to_o one_o but_o that_o the_o season_n of_o the_o campaigne_n will_v be_v over_o before_o they_o can_v bring_v their_o design_n to_o pass_v from_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o this_o march_n of_o the_o imperial_a army_n whatever_o way_n they_o take_v can_v never_o produce_v any_o great_a benefit_n than_o the_o take_n of_o some_o place_n in_o lorraine_n the_o territory_n of_o metz_n luxemburgh_n or_o the_o county_n of_o burgundy_n and_o by_o the_o gain_n of_o that_o place_n to_o disorder_v those_o garrison_n which_o the_o french_a hold_n in_o alsatia_n which_o however_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o save_v the_o province_n of_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o which_o be_v the_o precise_a platform_n by_o which_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n may_v without_o difficulty_n mount_v to_o the_o universal_a monarchy_n if_o those_o province_n be_v lose_v there_o be_v no_o power_n at_o present_a in_o a_o probable_a condition_n to_o hinder_v he_o now_o if_o it_o be_v true_a what_o i_o have_v already_o affirm_v and_o what_o i_o shall_v afterward_o maintain_v that_o by_o the_o conquest_n of_o the_o unite_a province_n of_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n may_v jump_v into_o the_o universal_a monarchy_n that_o all_o europe_n may_v evident_o know_v the_o danger_n of_o the_o present_a conjuncture_n if_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n from_o england_n and_o other_o place_n interest_v and_o that_o with_o all_o the_o speed_n imaginable_a there_o be_v these_o five_o thing_n to_o be_v attentive_o consider_v the_o first_o be_v that_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n be_v master_n of_o all_o the_o post_n passage_n and_o strong_a place_n of_o the_o county_n of_o burgundy_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o though_o this_o prince_n shall_v do_v nothing_o more_o during_o this_o whole_a campaigne_n but_o only_o dispute_v the_o ground_n with_o the_o imperialist_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v avoid_v but_o that_o the_o campaigne_n must_v break_v up_o and_o the_o imperial_a army_n retire_v without_o do_v any_o thing_n considerable_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o province_n of_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o for_o not_o to_o flatter_v ourselves_o will_v we_o have_v have_v the_o imperialist_n have_v attempt_v any_o thing_n great_a for_o the_o safety_n of_o those_o province_n necessity_n require_v that_o while_n the_o imperialist_n direct_v their_o march_n undaunted_o into_o the_o bowel_n of_o france_n with_o a_o army_n of_o fifty_o thousand_o man_n the_o confederate_a force_n then_o in_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o shall_v have_v break_v into_o picardy_n or_o the_o territory_n of_o boulogne_n by_o such_o a_o powerful_a diversion_n to_o have_v favour_v the_o grand_a and_o capital_a enterprise_n of_o the_o imperial_a army_n but_o by_o the_o fatal_a loss_n of_o valenciennes_n cambray_n and_o st._n omers_n france_n be_v so_o well_o entrench_v on_o that_o side_n against_o all_o the_o attempt_v of_o the_o confederate_a arm_n in_o those_o part_n that_o it_o be_v absolute_o out_o of_o their_o power_n by_o reason_n of_o those_o conquest_n to_o penetrate_v on_o that_o side_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n now_o we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o france_n have_v nothing_o to_o fear_v from_o flanders_n will_v content_v itself_o only_o to_o leave_v a_o small_a army_n in_o those_o quarter_n adjoin_v to_o the_o province_n of_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o which_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o those_o strong_a garrison_n under_o its_o

of_o this_o campaigne_n and_o to_o prevent_v their_o do_v any_o thing_n considerable_a in_o the_o second_o place_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o flanders_n and_o france_n be_v out_o of_o all_o

which_o be_v guard_v and_o secure_v by_o the_o conquest_n of_o valenciennes_n cambray_n and_o st._n omers_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o france_n be_v at_o her_o full_a liberty_n to_o make_v head_n with_o the_o main_a body_n of_o its_o force_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o erterprise_n of_o the_o imperial_a army_n see_v then_o that_o france_n find_v herself_o in_o this_o safe_a condition_n i_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o all_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o judgement_n as_o a_o solid_a prognostication_n of_o all_o that_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o the_o attempt_n of_o the_o imperial_a arm_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o province_n of_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o for_o suppose_v that_o the_o imperialist_n shall_v advance_v to_o the_o frontier_n of_o france_n with_o a_o army_n of_o fifty_o thousand_o man_n which_o be_v almost_o all_o that_o they_o can_v do_v france_n will_v meet_v they_o with_o a_o equal_a force_n or_o perhaps_o with_o a_o great_a number_n with_o this_o

as_o they_o shall_v see_v occasion_n three_o that_o we_o may_v not_o seem_v to_o rely_v in_o vain_a upon_o the_o
