the_o first_o thing_n you_o ought_v to_o think_v of_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v to_o set_v on_o foot_n as_o numerous_a a_o army_n as_o be_v possible_a for_o you_o to_o resist_v that_o mighty_a torrent_n of_o enemy_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o descend_v upon_o you_o if_o you_o see_v it_o absolute_o impossible_a to_o maintain_v the_o war_n any_o long_o in_o ireland_n i_o will_v advise_v you_o to_o draw_v back_o not_o only_o the_o french_a force_n as_o soon_o as_o you_o can_v but_o also_o as_o many_o of_o the_o irish_a as_o be_v willing_a to_o continue_v in_o your_o service_n you_o may_v find_v employment_n enough_o for_o they_o in_o italy_n and_o catalonia_n lovis_n the_o irish_a you_o know_v be_v the_o worst_a soldier_n in_o the_o world_n employ_v they_o in_o what_o part_n of_o the_o world_n you_o will_v they_o be_v the_o same_o man_n still_o cowardice_n and_o ignorance_n be_v all_o their_o ingredient_n i_o question_v whether_o man_n that_o be_v so_o harden_v and_o confirm_v in_o run_v away_o will_v ever_o do_v i_o any_o good_a m._n de_fw-fr louvois_n why_o then_o sir_n as_o you_o be_v say_v before_o you_o may_v employ_v they_o in_o such_o place_n where_o there_o be_v no_o probability_n of_o any_o great_a action_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o utter_o impossible_a but_o that_o a_o little_a experience_n in_o the_o world_n may_v correct_v the_o awkwardness_n of_o their_o constitution_n two_o compagnes_n may_v perhaps_o inspire_v they_o with_o another_o spirit_n your_o majesty_n have_v former_o entertain_v some_o of_o that_o country_n in_o your_o army_n and_o they_o be_v not_o unserviceable_a to_o you_o but_o to_o quit_v this_o digression_n the_o principal_a thing_n we_o be_v to_o mind_n be_v to_o make_v choice_n of_o our_o most_o vigorous_a and_o most_o discipline_v troop_n against_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n for_o he_o be_v the_o most_o formidable_a enemy_n we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o at_o the_o same_o time_n you_o may_v amuse_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o ally_n any_o other_o side_n your_o majesty_n please_v lovis_n you_o be_v in_o the_o right_n but_o the_o question_n i_o will_v be_v resolve_v in_o be_v which_o way_n the_o prince_n will_v turn_v his_o arm_n after_o the_o reduction_n of_o ireland_n that_o i_o may_v oppose_v he_o in_o time_n with_o the_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o my_o force_n you_o know_v that_o general_o speak_v we_o be_v never_o acquaint_v with_o his_o design_n till_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o prevent_v they_o and_o in_o what_o a_o embarras_n do_v you_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v if_o at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o i_o attend_v his_o come_n in_o flanders_n with_o a_o considerable_a army_n he_o make_v a_o descent_n upon_o any_o of_o my_o province_n he_o must_v of_o course_n be_v master_n there_o since_o there_o will_v be_v no_o body_n almost_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o repel_v he_o m._n de_fw-fr louvois_n without_o doubt_n sir_n such_o a_o case_n will_v be_v perplex_v enough_o but_o however_o if_o you_o will_v permit_v i_o to_o form_v my_o own_o conjecture_n i_o do_v see_v there_o be_v any_o great_a probability_n that_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n design_n to_o make_v any_o such_o descent_n till_o he_o have_v render_v himself_o absolute_a master_n at_o sea_n he_o be_v too_o prudent_a and_o well-advised_a to_o expose_v his_o person_n in_o a_o strange_a country_n without_o secure_v a_o retreat_n to_o himself_o in_o case_n he_o shall_v meet_v with_o ill_a success_n now_o before_o he_o can_v be_v master_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o gain_v a_o naval_a victory_n and_o then_o indeed_o he_o may_v have_v leisure_n and_o security_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o descent_n but_o then_o if_o such_o a_o misfortune_n shall_v happen_v to_o we_o we_o shall_v have_v warning_n enough_o in_o all_o conscience_n to_o withdraw_v our_o force_n out_o of_o flanders_n to_o hinder_v the_o enemy_n land_v therefore_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o set_v as_o numerous_a a_o fleet_n out_o to_o sea_n as_o you_o equipt_v the_o last_o campagn_n with_o order_n to_o mind_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o not_o to_o hazard_v any_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o engagement_n unless_o they_o be_v as_o good_a as_o secure_v before_o hand_n of_o the_o victory_n this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n as_o i_o imagine_v to_o obviate_v the_o misfortune_n of_o a_o invasion_n lovis_n there_o be_v some_o comfort_n in_o what_o you_o say_v but_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o cure_v all_o my_o apprehension_n i_o have_v a_o vast_a extent_n of_o land_n to_o guard_n so_o that_o when_o my_o fleet_n be_v busy_a in_o one_o place_n that_o of_o my_o enemy_n will_v have_v opportunity_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o descent_n in_o another_o beside_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o the_o discontent_n of_o my_o people_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o new_a convert_v who_o without_o dispute_n will_v join_v the_o enemy_n as_o soon_o as_o

as_o you_o imagine_v and_o it_o will_v be_v no_o easy_a matter_n for_o those_o person_n who_o be_v so_o affect_v to_o execute_v their_o wicked_a design_n as_o for_o what_o concern_v the_o large_a

the_o prince_n of_o orange_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o make_v a_o descent_n upon_o we_o but_o that_o flanders_n will_v be_v the_o scene_n of_o his_o great_a effort_n by_o what_o mean_n shall_v i_o be_v

lovis_n i_o own_o i_o have_v fortify_v place_n enough_o but_o there_o be_v one_o which_o a_o man_n can_v fail_v to_o make_v himself_o master_n of_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o open_v his_o campagn_n leave_v

enemy_n let_v they_o be_v never_o so_o furious_a will_v find_v entertainment_n enough_o there_o for_o the_o whole_a compagn_n therefore_o if_o they_o sit_v down_o before_o the_o siege_n of_o it_o it_o
