must_v not_o at_o present_a deny_v because_o the_o auxiliary_a assistance_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v from_o france_n seem_v to_o make_v it_o good_a yet_o the_o story_n of_o 88_o acquaint_v we_o

the_o thing_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v moral_o impossible_a first_o from_o their_o want_n of_o people_n especial_o fit_a for_o war_n their_o dominion_n be_v small_a and_o furnish_v much_o with_o

12._o than_o the_o french_a in_o overreach_v they_o who_o have_v always_o be_v wise_a enough_o in_o treaty_n for_o that_o a_o increase_n in_o the_o french_a monarchy_n will_v be_v more_o dangerous_a

reason_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o france_n and_o holland_n conjunction_n in_o order_n to_o the_o conquest_n of_o it_o as_o the_o letter_n suggest_v i_o fear_v with_o the_o same_o reason_n france_n will_v be_v jealous_a of_o england_n impatronize_a holland_n as_o be_v as_o well_o unwilling_a to_o have_v the_o dominion_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o much_o undivided_a in_o the_o hand_n of_o any_o one_o

the_o three_o assertion_n i_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o object_n in_o opposition_n nothing_o be_v more_o ordinary_a in_o the_o world_n than_o gross_a mistake_n in_o the_o interest_n of_o

answer_v that_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o all_o rational_a creature_n of_o two_o evil_n to_o choose_v the_o least_o so_o suppose_v that_o the_o state_n be_v reduce_v to_o a_o necessity_n of_o part_v with_o their_o own_o government_n will_v have_v the_o election_n of_o their_o new_a lord_n in_o their_o own_o power_n and_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o they_o be_v man_n of_o conscience_n and_o religion_n i_o do_v full_o agree_v with_o the_o author_n of_o the_o letter_n in_o his_o opinion_n that_o they_o will_v in_o such_o case_n choose_v rather_o the_o english_a than_o the_o severe_a government_n of_o the_o french_a unless_o the_o consideration_n in_o their_o partial_a opinion_n of_o who_o be_v best_a able_a to_o protect_v their_o country_n do_v not_o prevail_v with_o they_o to_o trust_v the_o french_a king_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n but_o i_o very_o much_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o groundless_a to_o suppose_v that_o any_o nation_n be_v attack_v by_o two_o great_a monarch_n will_v have_v the_o choice_n of_o their_o own_o master_n leave_v to_o themselves_o by_o a_o mutual_a agreement_n betwixt_o those_o monarch_n without_o which_o it_o can_v be_v but_o i_o high_o esteem_v the_o author_n of_o the_o letter_n for_o the_o true_a sense_n he_o express_v to_o have_v of_o the_o french_a government_n from_o which_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n deliver_v all_o other_o country_n the_o five_o assertion_n be_v a_o supposition_n that_o the_o dutch_a will_v have_v it_o in_o their_o choice_n to_o trust_v the_o french_a or_o not_o and_o in_o such_o case_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n with_o the_o letter_n that_o they_o will_v never_o do_v it_o spain_n lorraine_n and_o the_o protestant_n of_o france_n be_v a_o sufficient_a warning_n to_o they_o but_o as_o affair_n now_o stand_v i_o very_o much_o fear_n they_o will_v not_o have_v the_o election_n of_o it_o in_o their_o own_o hand_n the_o six_o assertion_n though_o as_o most_o weighty_a deserve_v most_o consideration_n yet_o for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o whether_o england_n admit_v the_o dutch_a to_o a_o coalition_n will_v be_v of_o more_o advantage_n to_o they_o than_o any_o term_n they_o can_v expect_v from_o the_o french._n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v but_o be_o much_o of_o belief_n that_o the_o french_a council_n consider_v that_o they_o want_v nothing_o to_o facilitate_v their_o universal_a design_n more_o than_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o northern_a sea_n where_o they_o may_v harbour_v and_o form_n a_o navy_n nourish_v and_o breed_v seaman_n and_o likewise_o consider_v that_o the_o maritime_a town_n of_o holland_n zealand_n and_o friezland_n will_v signify_v nothing_o without_o trade_n but_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o the_o sea_n for_o want_v of_o ability_n to_o maintain_v the_o bank_n against_o it_o nor_o trade_n signify_v any_o thing_n without_o liberty_n they_o will_v soon_o find_v it_o necessary_a as_o to_o their_o interest_n to_o wave_v
