that_o part_n of_o mankind_n who_o be_v master_n of_o their_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n in_o this_o town_n the_o author_n of_o the_o two_o reason_n consider_v be_v never_o yet_o suspect_v of_o be_v a_o

prosperity_n of_o this_o and_o of_o most_o nation_n depend_v upon_o peace_n for_o if_o peace_n be_v not_o preserve_v trade_n must_v suffer_v and_o if_o trade_n suffer_v the_o poor_a suffer_v and_o so_o on_o now_o as_o be_v already_o note_v the_o balance_n of_o power_n be_v the_o life_n of_o peace_n and_o here_o be_v your_o balance_n break_v as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o say_v again_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v we_o have_v a_o good_a fleet_n though_o it_o be_v the_o best_a in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o do_v not_o think_v our_o remarker_n can_v prove_v that_o to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n any_o more_o than_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o to_o go_v by_o germany_n be_v the_o way_n to_o come_v on_o the_o back_n of_o spain_n if_o our_o fleet_n be_v master_n at_o sea_n it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v preserve_v we_o from_o invasion_n and_o we_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o it_o but_o a_o thousand_o man_n of_o war_n will_v not_o entire_o suppress_v the_o privateer_n of_o france_n and_o spain_n from_o injure_v our_o trade_n and_o snap_v up_o our_o merchant_n nor_o will_v a_o fleet_n ever_o reduce_v the_o french_a in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o spaniard_n to_o peace_n with_o you_o if_o they_o be_v whole_a and_o unbroken_a in_o their_o land_n force_n nor_o be_v it_o enough_o if_o a_o fleet_n can_v secure_v our_o ship_n if_o your_o peace_n be_v precarious_a it_o be_v no_o peace_n and_o if_o you_o be_v not_o a_o master_n for_o your_o adversary_n you_o shall_v have_v no_o peace_n at_o all_o any_o long_a than_o they_o please_v why_o do_v all_o nation_n covet_v to_o strengthen_v themselves_o by_o league_n and_o confederacy_n but_o to_o put_v themselves_o into_o a_o condition_n to_o be_v fear_v by_o their_o neighbour_n and_o if_o we_o leave_v ourselves_o without_o force_n and_o without_o alliance_n abroad_o we_o be_v like_a to_o be_v very_o little_o value_v by_o neighbour_n from_o all_o these_o consideration_n i_o think_v this_o conclusion_n be_v very_o natural_a that_o england_n ought_v so_o to_o act_v as_o to_o oblige_v the_o french_a to_o perform_v all_o the_o league_n article_n and_o agreement_n which_o they_o have_v enter_v into_o with_o we_o and_o which_o the_o king_n for_o preservation_n of_o our_o peace_n and_o trade_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o engage_v they_o in_o for_o of_o what_o value_n will_v the_o french_a king_n make_v any_o treaty_n with_o the_o english_a nation_n if_o at_o his_o pleasure_n they_o shall_v be_v lay_v aside_o without_o any_o notice_n take_v by_o we_o if_o he_o esteem_v we_o not_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o resent_v a_o breach_n of_o faith_n when_o our_o interest_n be_v so_o much_o engage_v what_o notice_n can_v we_o expect_v he_o shall_v ever_o take_v of_o we_o in_o any_o treaty_n this_o be_v certain_o the_o way_n to_o make_v it_o true_a that_o no_o nation_n will_v trouble_v their_o head_n to_o confederate_a with_o we_o if_o when_o we_o have_v confederated_a with_o they_o we_o let_v the_o enemy_n insult_v we_o all_o and_o bauk_fw-mi our_o confederate_n in_o such_o resentment_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o king_n require_v if_o the_o french_a king_n can_v be_v reduce_v to_o reason_n without_o a_o war_n and_o a_o army_n or_o fleet_n no_o doubt_n it_o be_v best_a but_o any_o of_o they_o be_v less_o evil_n than_o a_o union_n of_o interest_n between_o spain_n and_o france_n and_o such_o a_o confederacy_n as_o may_v hereafter_o league_n against_o england_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o our_o confederate_n and_o of_o our_o trade_n the_o debate_n here_o be_v not_o a_o stand_a army_n in_o
