quick_a both_o in_o the_o recruit_v and_o augment_v the_o force_n they_o have_v here_o it_o be_v whole_o their_o interest_n and_o by_o what_o have_v hitherto_o appear_v in_o this_o war_n it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o think_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v do_v in_o vain_a since_o the_o advantage_n that_o the_o french_a have_v hitherto_o have_v in_o this_o war_n have_v not_o proceed_v so_o much_o

make_v the_o war_n as_o cheap_a as_o possible_o we_o can_v and_o that_o only_o serve_v to_o make_v it_o last_o the_o long_o and_o the_o charge_n must_v be_v the_o same_o at_o long-run_a but_o they_o be_v far_o from_o be_v so_o much_o to_o our_o advantage_n as_o when_o our_o effort_n be_v great_a though_o for_o the_o present_a more_o burdensome_a the_o ally_n have_v as_o good_a fling_v their_o

and_o weaken_v ourselves_o to_o no_o other_o purpose_n than_o to_o increase_v the_o french_a power_n whatever_o success_n the_o enemy_n have_v have_v hitherto_o yet_o still_o the_o iron_n be_v hot_a for_o the_o ally_n to_o strike_v if_o they_o will_v but_o go_v to_o the_o expense_n of_o augment_v their_o force_n the_o french_a have_v make_v very_o great_a effort_n this_o war_n and_o his_o treasure_n be_v not_o inexhaustible_a it_o appear_v rather_o by_o the_o uncertain_a value_n of_o coin_n which_o be_v hardly_o the_o same_o two_o month_n together_o in_o france_n that_o he_o be_v

in_o their_o conquest_n their_o daily_a edict_n be_v authentic_a proof_n of_o it_o though_o in_o the_o preface_n of_o those_o edict_n they_o endeavour_v to_o throw_v dust_n in_o the_o people_n eye_n but_o word_n do_v not_o feed_v hungry_a belly_n and_o we_o hear_v daily_o in_o this_o place_n what_o misery_n the_o people_n suffer_v at_o lisle_n and_o in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o french_a

but_o still_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o the_o french_a king_n do_v not_o love_n to_o see_v his_o kingdom_n in_o so_o universal_a a_o desolation_n when_o those_o who_o be_v soldier_n rather_o than_o

the_o french_a king_n as_o well_o as_o the_o ally_n and_o therefore_o what_o the_o ally_n have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o raise_v such_o a_o army_n for_o the_o next_o campagne_n as_o may_v put_v they_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o treat_v of_o a_o peace_n upon_o advantageous_a term_n and_o not_o be_v force_v to_o accept_v of_o such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v only_o put_v the_o french_a king_n after_o a_o

the_o ally_n have_v this_o to_o encourage_v their_o vigorous_a prosecution_n of_o this_o war_n i_o speak_v particular_o as_o to_o england_n and_o holland_n that_o they_o have_v a_o king_n who_o do_v yet_o venture_v his_o precious_a life_n for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o common_a cause_n more_o free_o than_o they_o can_v venture_v their_o purse_n let_v the_o king_n be_v great_a enemy_n consider_v but_o impartial_o his_o majesty_n conduct_n and_o circumstance_n and_o they_o must_v be_v convince_v that_o what_o the_o king_n do_v be_v not_o out_o of_o any_o interest_n of_o his_o own_o but_o in_o a_o uprightness_n and_o sincerity_n of_o conscience_n to_o do_v good_a to_o europe_n in_o general_a and_o to_o we_o his_o subject_n in_o particular_a god_n have_v not_o blessed_v his_o
