a_o intimation_n of_o the_o deputy_n of_o the_o state_n general_n in_o a_o late_a discourse_n with_o mr._n sidney_n extraordinary_a envoy_n from_o his_o majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n that_o the_o state_n general_n do_v hear_v with_o extreme_a trouble_n that_o the_o affair_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o parliament_n be_v not_o yet_o compose_v to_o such_o a_o union_n as_o they_o can_v hearty_o desire_v and_o such_o as_o the_o necessity_n of_o christendom_n require_v that_o they_o neither_o will_v nor_o can_v concern_v themselves_o to_o judge_v the_o occasion_n of_o so_o great_a a_o inconvenience_n much_o less_o of_o the_o mean_n that_o may_v be_v make_v use_n of_o to_o re-establish_a a_o union_n so_o necessary_a and_o so_o much_o desire_v that_o they_o have_v wait_v though_o with_o a_o extreme_a sorrow_n yet_o with_o a_o respectful_a silence_n the_o end_n it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o put_v to_o this_o great_a unhappiness_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v acquiesce_v in_o those_o mean_n which_o his_o majesty_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o use_v be_v full_o persuade_v that_o a_o king_n so_o great_a and_o so_o clear_o sight_v will_v not_o have_v take_v other_o measure_n than_o such_o as_o his_o majesty_n have_v think_v the_o most_o profitable_a for_o the_o direct_v his_o affair_n and_o the_o most_o proper_a for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o subject_n but_o the_o danger_n in_o which_o they_o find_v themselves_o oblige_v they_o to_o speak_v and_o that_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o ought_v to_o address_v themselves_o any_o where_n else_o than_o to_o his_o majesty_n that_o his_o majesty_n be_v the_o most_o and_o best_o inform_v of_o any_o of_o all_o the_o suffering_n which_o they_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o endure_v since_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o also_o what_o earnest_a endeavour_n be_v use_v to_o engage_v they_o in_o such_o tie_v as_o his_o majesty_n approve_v not_o of_o and_o which_o he_o think_v most_o contrary_a to_o the_o good_a of_o both_o nation_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o remember_v what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o threaten_v when_o they_o think_v they_o can_v not_o be_v under_o obligation_n so_o disagreeable_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o so_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o public_a good_a and_o that_o than_o his_o majesty_n assure_v they_o of_o his_o protection_n and_o that_o he_o will_v venture_v all_o to_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o evil_n that_o threaten_v they_o that_o the_o state_n rest_v upon_o this_o royal_a promise_n and_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v for_o their_o great_a security_n to_o assure_v they_o he_o will_v call_v his_o parliament_n as_o soon_o as_o be_v think_v affair_n require_v it_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o this_o declaration_n and_o have_v wait_v for_o the_o session_n of_o parliament_n though_o with_o a_o extreme_a impatience_n yet_o with_o as_o much_o resignation_n as_o his_o majesty_n can_v expect_v from_o his_o own_o subject_n but_o the_o misunderstanding_n which_o seem_v to_o grow_v more_o than_o ever_o between_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o people_n make_v they_o despair_v especial_o since_o the_o misunderstanding_n be_v found_v upon_o a_o affair_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n and_o so_o domestic_a that_o they_o can_v not_o discuss_v so_o nice_a a_o point_n that_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v be_v assure_v by_o the_o relation_n of_o eye-witness_n that_o those_o foreign_a power_n with_o who_o his_o majesty_n have_v no_o tie_n do_v arm_n and_o make_v extraordinary_a great_a preparation_n that_o they_o do_v with_o all_o care_n endeavour_v to_o repair_v the_o disorder_n which_o the_o late_a sickness_n have_v occasion_v in_o their_o army_n when_o they_o have_v like_a to_o have_v be_v destroy_v about_o strasburgh_n that_o all_o the_o extraordinary_a embassy_n which_o they_o have_v send_v to_o most_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o europe_n be_v to_o no_o other_o end_n than_o to_o inform_v they_o and_o give_v they_o assurance_n that_o all_o their_o proceed_n have_v no_o other_o aim_n than_o the_o public_a quiet_a and_o tranquillity_n though_o after_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o peace_n they_o have_v seize_v upon_o a_o great_a number_n of_o village_n than_o the_o agreement_n give_v they_o that_o the_o apprehension_n they_o have_v of_o his_o majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n have_v so_o far_o favour_v these_o country_n as_o that_o their_o intention_n have_v not_o yet_o be_v effect_v that_o the_o disposition_n of_o affair_n which_o may_v incline_v his_o majesty_n to_o differ_v with_o his_o people_n will_v give_v they_o full_a opportunity_n to_o execute_v their_o design_n since_o be_v perfect_o acquaint_v with_o what_o they_o be_v to_o apprehend_v from_o his_o majesty_n power_n separate_v from_o his_o people_n they_o think_v they_o may_v complete_o execute_v their_o design_n before_o any_o foreign_a force_n can_v oppose_v they_o and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o fail_v of_o their_o end_n when_o once_o they_o shall_v begin_v to_o act._n that_o his_o majesty_n know_v the_o art_n they_o make_v use_v of_o in_o his_o kingdom_n to_o bring_v their_o design_n about_o and_o be_v also_o inform_v of_o the_o method_n the_o court_n of_o spain_n use_v in_o their_o own_o affair_n by_o which_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v entire_o ruin_v that_o

and_o his_o people_n be_v disagree_v nor_o can_v they_o hope_v any_o thing_n from_o time_n itself_o since_o all_o delay_n have_v only_o serve_v to_o animate_v foreign_a ower_n so_o strong_o arm_v to_o

experience_n that_o the_o dissolution_n and_o prorogation_n of_o parliament_n have_v only_o serve_v to_o disquiet_v the_o mind_n of_o his_o people_n and_o that_o at_o their_o first_o sit_n
