never_o need_v to_o have_v be_v know_v at_o all_o i_o say_v have_v speak_v to_o all_o those_o particular_n i_o must_v likewise_o crave_v liberty_n to_o observe_v to_o you_o those_o part_n of_o the_o same_o letter_n which_o do_v sufficient_o show_v that_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o confederate_n for_o any_o private_a gain_n of_o money_n to_o himself_o for_o you_o see_v the_o ambassador_n have_v agree_v to_o the_o sum_n but_o not_o for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n and_o no_o man_n can_v imagine_v why_o six_o million_o of_o livre_n shall_v have_v be_v refuse_v if_o either_o his_o majesty_n have_v have_v any_o ill_a design_n at_o home_n or_o will_v have_v desert_v the_o confederate_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a you_o see_v his_o majesty_n will_v make_v no_o proposal_n but_o what_o they_o desire_v nor_o even_o those_o without_o be_v press_v by_o they_o to_o it_o nor_o will_v he_o have_v any_o motion_n of_o money_n to_o the_o french_a king_n unless_o he_o accept_v those_o very_a condition_n so_o desire_v by_o the_o confederate_n and_o if_o the_o confederate_n can_v have_v obtain_v such_o a_o peace_n as_o they_o desire_v and_o his_o majesty_n a_o good_a sum_n of_o money_n towards_o defray_v those_o charge_n he_o have_v be_v at_o without_o tax_v of_o his_o people_n i_o conceive_v it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v esteem_v good_a policy_n as_o it_o have_v be_v in_o the_o former_a time_n of_o h._n 7_o &_o h._n 8_o rather_o than_o make_v a_o pretence_n of_o treason_n but_o how_o the_o not_o do_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n except_v against_o in_o that_o letter_n and_o that_o plain_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o king_n be_v great_a integrity_n to_o the_o confederate_a interest_n which_o he_o so_o evident_o prefer_v before_o his_o own_o personal_a advantage_n shall_v become_v treason_n be_v beyond_o my_o comprehension_n i_o hear_v it_o be_v make_v a_o great_a aggravation_n of_o this_o letter_n that_o it_o be_v date_v five_o day_n after_o a_o act_n past_a to_o raise_v money_n for_o a_o actual_a war_n with_o france_n but_o sure_o every_o man_n know_v that_o a_o act_n to_o raise_v money_n for_o a_o war_n be_v no_o declaration_n of_o the_o war_n that_o his_o majesty_n have_v always_o the_o sole_a power_n of_o peace_n and_o war_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n that_o his_o minister_n be_v never_o recall_v from_o treat_v the_o peace_n at_o nimiguen_n and_o beside_o our_o then_o ill_o prepare_v condition_n for_o a_o war_n that_o of_o the_o confederate_n be_v then_o so_o low_o that_o it_o be_v not_o above_o a_o week_n after_o that_o the_o french_a proposition_n be_v make_v at_o nimiguen_n upon_o which_o the_o peace_n be_v conclude_v and_o after_o which_o proposition_n although_o far_o worse_a one_o than_o what_o have_v be_v offer_v by_o his_o majesty_n but_o ten_o day_n before_o the_o dutch_a will_v never_o think_v of_o support_v the_o war_n any_o long_o and_o so_o far_o be_v his_o majesty_n from_o agree_v to_o that_o peace_n which_o be_v then_o make_v that_o his_o majesty_n be_v minister_n at_o nimiguen_n do_v not_o only_o refuse_v to_o sign_n it_o but_o his_o majesty_n use_v all_o possible_a mean_n to_o engage_v the_o dutch_a with_o he_o in_o the_o offensive_a treaty_n against_o france_n and_o though_o he_o can_v not_o procure_v they_o to_o do_v so_o he_o send_v a_o army_n so_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v in_o readiness_n to_o march_v to_o their_o assistance_n and_o thereby_o have_v it_o be_v possible_a he_o endeavour_v to_o have_v encourage_v they_o to_o continue_v the_o war_n though_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o be_v to_o be_v say_v upon_o this_o subject_a i_o think_v this_o enough_o to_o convince_v any_o man_n that_o as_o this_o letter_n do_v no_o harm_n nor_o hinder_v one_o step_n of_o the_o preparation_n for_o war_n against_o france_n so_o that_o it_o intend_v nothing_o of_o ill_a either_o to_o the_o kingdom_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o confederate_n and_o therefore_o the_o writer_n of_o it_o can_v deserve_v no_o blame_n from_o this_o letter_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v write_v by_o the_o king_n command_n and_o direction_n as_o i_o have_v wonder_v much_o at_o those_o strain_a construction_n i_o have_v find_v upon_o this_o letter_n so_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v myself_o a_o reason_n how_o this_o letter_n shall_v only_o find_v the_o hard_a fate_n of_o be_v load_v with_o such_o crime_n and_o yet_o nothing_o say_v to_o those_o letter_n of_o mr._n montagu_n the_o original_n of_o which_o be_v also_o read_v in_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o which_o do_v so_o manifest_o give_v his_o majesty_n the_o invitation_n to_o expect_v great_a sum_n from_o france_n if_o he_o will_v endeavour_v it_o and_o which_o do_v acknowledge_v this_o earl_n to_o be_v so_o great_a a_o enemy_n to_o france_n above_o all_o other_o man_n that_o it_o be_v grow_v a_o maxim_n to_o the_o statesman_n there_o by_o one_o who_o very_o well_o understand_v the_o state_n of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o they_o must_v destroy_v his_o credit_n with_o our_o king_n before_o they_o can_v hope_v to_o do_v any_o good_a in_o england_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n it_o be_v not_o find_v too_o true_a the_o lord_n treasurer_n letter_n to_o mr._n montagu_n the_o king_n be_v late_a ambassador_n in_o france_n march_v 25_o the_o 1678._o my_o lord_n
