A47213	A letter from a gentleman to his friend, on the treaty for dividing the Spanish monarchy, if the king of Spain should die without a son	W. K.	1700 (1700)	Wing K25; ESTC R213549	2,169	2

a_o letter_n from_o a_o gentleman_n to_o his_o friend_n on_o the_o treaty_n for_o divide_v the_o spanish_a monarchy_n if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n shall_v die_v without_o a_o son_n sir_n i_o wonder_v that_o the_o treaty_n and_o design_n of_o divind_a the_o spanish_a monarchy_n shall_v make_v a_o noise_n and_o raise_v such_o violent_a discourse_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v and_o such_o threaten_n of_o the_o minister_n that_o advise_v the_o king_n to_o make_v such_o a_o treaty_n as_o if_o by_o that_o treaty_n france_n be_v already_o crown_v universal_a monarch_n of_o europe_n but_o i_o say_v this_o be_v certain_o the_o wise_a and_o most_o politic_a thing_n his_o majesty_n can_v do_v for_o england_n next_o have_v redeem_a we_o from_o popery_n &_o slavery_n and_o if_o the_o king_n be_v thereunto_o advise_v by_o any_o of_o his_o council_n those_o counsellor_n deserve_v to_o have_v their_o statue_n set_v up_o and_o have_v the_o public_a thanks_o and_o prayer_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o our_o false_a politician_n who_o exclaim_v against_o the_o say_a treaty_n will_v be_v find_v either_o fool_n or_o knave_n or_o malicious_a villain_n that_o will_v disturb_v the_o government_n some_o discontent_a man_n that_o have_v either_o be_v turn_v out_o of_o their_o place_n for_o jacobitism_n or_o that_o hope_n to_o have_v their_o mouth_n stop_v with_o place_n or_o money_n and_o i_o expect_v to_o see_v they_o in_o print_n spit_v their_o venom_n and_o show_v their_o malice_n to_o this_o our_o happy_a government_n but_o all_o wise_a honest_a and_o true_a lover_n of_o england_n will_v sagacious_o think_v and_o consider_v well_o before_o they_o exclaim_v against_o the_o action_n and_o counsel_n of_o a_o king_n to_o who_o courage_n and_o wisdom_n we_o and_o all_o europe_n owe_v our_o liberty_n and_o the_o peace_n we_o now_o enjoy_v i_o pretend_v neither_o to_o wit_n nor_o eloquence_n much_o less_o to_o be_v a_o politician_n or_o to_o be_v a_o privy-councillor_n but_o i_o be_o a_o englishman_n and_o hate_v the_o ingratitude_n of_o many_o of_o my_o countryman_n to_o this_o great_a prince_n who_o heaven_n have_v give_v we_o every_o cobbler_n in_o england_n be_v a_o politician_n read_v the_o gazette_n and_o post-boy_n then_o preach_v and_o explain_v some_o text_n from_o ditto_n which_o the_o rabble_n take_v for_o gospel_n true_o such_o be_v the_o railer_n at_o this_o treaty_n but_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o main_a design_n now_o sir_n i_o will_v not_o condemn_v they_o without_o give_v my_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o these_o ill_a people_n do_v without_o know_v why_o this_o treaty_n be_v make_v for_o i_o dare_v say_v they_o be_v not_o ask_v to_o give_v their_o opinion_n no_o more_o than_o myself_o who_o do_v not_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o write_v a_o volume_n of_o what_o be_v say_v on_o this_o subject_a nor_o be_v it_o fit_a for_o i_o to_o pretend_v to_o penetrate_v into_o a_o king_n thought_n but_o i_o plain_o give_v you_o i_o and_o thought_n ought_v to_o be_v free_a first_o i_o do_v believe_v the_o distemper_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n may_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o french_a king_n be_v so_o desirous_a for_o a_o peace_n that_o he_o may_v be_v at_o liberty_n to_o assert_v the_o dauphius_n pretension_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o spain_n if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n dyed_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v france_n may_v have_v make_v a_o offer_n to_o the_o king_n or_o his_o minister_n at_o the_o treaty_n at_o reyswick_n if_o france_n do_v make_v that_o offer_n pray_v tell_v i_o be_v it_o not_o wise_o and_o politic_o do_v if_o his_o majesty_n or_o his_o minister_n shall_v answer_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v proper_a at_o that_o time_n and_o place_n lest_o the_o emperor_n and_o spain_n shall_v break_v off_o the_o treaty_n if_o the_o french_a do_v obtain_v a_o promise_n for_o this_o treaty_n when_o the_o peace_n be_v make_v and_o all_o the_o town_n and_o country_n deliver_v up_o i_o say_v if_o they_o do_v pray_v tell_v i_o be_v it_o not_o reasonable_a and_o fit_a england_n and_o holland_n shall_v make_v good_a their_o promise_n by_o which_o the_o so_o much_o desire_v peace_n be_v obtain_v and_o a_o petty_a kingdom_n give_v back_o which_o france_n can_v retake_v in_o twenty_o year_n though_o england_n stand_v neuter_n these_o town_n have_v enlarge_v and_o strengthen_v the_o barrier_n of_o holland_n and_o flanders_n which_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n to_o the_o high_a degree_n for_o be_v holland_n and_o flanders_n overrun_v pray_v what_o will_v become_v of_o england_n this_o be_v think_v of_o in_o king_n charles_n his_o reign_n who_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o french_a conquest_n when_o france_n be_v at_o the_o very_a gate_n of_o amsterdam_n next_o i_o consider_v this_o agreement_n or_o treaty_n be_v of_o no_o consequence_n to_o the_o french_a king_n for_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v not_o dead_a he_o may_v have_v a_o son_n and_o the_o french_a king_n be_v not_o immmortal_a but_o suppose_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v dead_a and_o have_v no_o son_n i_o believe_v the_o spaniard_n will_v choose_v themselves_o a_o king_n the_o emperor_n have_v peace_n with_o the_o turk_n and_o will_v not_o easy_o give_v up_o his_o interest_n or_o abandon_v the_o house_n of_o austria_n italy_n will_v hardly_o choose_v the_o french_a king_n for_o pope_n for_o rome_n will_v soon_o be_v he_o if_o naples_n sicily_n and_o spain_n be_v in_o his_o power_n venice_n will_v not_o like_o such_o a_o neighbour_n nor_o will_v savoy_n or_o the_o suiss_n be_v easy_a if_o now_o a_o french_a man_n shall_v ask_v i_o what_o will_v the_o english_a and_o dutch_a do_v in_o case_n all_o these_o nation_n oppose_v this_o division_n of_o the_o spanish_a monarchy_n i_o will_v answer_v the_o french_a man_n with_o this_o question_n whether_o he_o will_v have_v i_o take_v it_o ill_o of_o he_o if_o he_o do_v not_o punctual_o meet_v i_o at_o the_o royal-exchange_n at_o 12_o a_o clock_n if_o he_o have_v break_v his_o leg_n at_o temple-bar_n at_o 11._o can_v france_n expect_v the_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v go_v a_o volunteer_n in_o his_o army_n to_o force_v the_o emperor_n spain_n italy_n venice_n savoy_n and_o the_o suiss_n to_o make_v he_o monarch_n of_o europe_n or_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v consider_v the_o value_n and_o jealousy_n the_o english_a and_o dutch_a have_v for_o their_o trade_n and_o liberty_n that_o they_o will_v run_v headlong_o to_o raise_v a_o power_n to_o devour_v themselves_o why_o then_o all_o this_o noise_n but_o malicious_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v a_o discord_n between_o our_o great_a king_n and_o his_o good_a subject_n be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o think_v as_o i_o do_v for_o i_o only_o write_v my_o thought_n i_o be_o no_o privy-counsellor_n but_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v more_o honest_a and_o more_o my_o duty_n to_o think_v the_o best_a of_o my_o superior_n than_o ungrateful_o to_o exclaim_v against_o they_o who_o be_v set_v over_o we_o and_o from_o whence_o we_o reap_v such_o great_a blessing_n as_o peace_n afford_v after_o our_o preservation_n from_o popery_n and_o slavery_n thus_o sir_n i_o have_v give_v you_o my_o reason_n for_o what_o i_o have_v say_v on_o the_o subject_a for_o divide_v the_o spanish_a monarchy_n in_o case_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n shall_v die_v and_o leave_v no_o heir_n i_o be_o
