which_o arrive_v thereupon_o and_o that_o in_o fine_a neither_o of_o the_o party_n get_v the_o advantage_n the_o prince_n of_o orange_n be_v choose_v captain-general_n of_o the_o state_n but_o with_o so_o limit_a a_o power_n as_o it_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v judge_v that_o if_o mr._n de_fw-fr witt_n be_v not_o able_a to_o obtain_v his_o whole_a desire_n he_o have_v at_o least_o obtain_v a_o part_n thereof_o but_o what_o nevertheless_o show_v that_o his_o spirit_n reign_v not_o so_o much_o as_o it_o heretofore_o have_v do_v in_o the_o resolution_n of_o state_n be_v what_o pass_v some_o time_n after_o and_o i_o be_o here_o go_v to_o relate_v he_o perceive_v that_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n by_o his_o win_a temper_n oblige_v conduct_n and_o in_o fine_a by_o so_o many_o excellent_a quality_n as_o be_v in_o his_o person_n daily_o gain_v new_a creature_n and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a his_o own_o credit_n every_o day_n diminish_v he_o begin_v to_o think_v of_o shelter_v himself_o from_o the_o just_a resentment_n of_o this_o prince_n i_o know_v that_o he_o consult_v thereupon_o mr._n de_fw-fr groot_fw-mi and_o another_o person_n who_o yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v no_o great_a politician_n and_o that_o they_o both_o confirm_v he_o in_o the_o resolution_n he_o have_v already_o take_v to_o make_v a_o levy_n of_o twelve_o thousand_o man_n in_o the_o province_n of_o holland_n beside_o the_o force_n they_o be_v to_o raise_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o other_o province_n his_o design_n herein_o be_v to_o be_v always_o master_n of_o these_o twelve_o thousand_o man_n who_o be_v never_o to_o go_v out_o of_o garrison_n and_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n to_o have_v any_o authority_n over_o they_o wherefore_o he_o have_v already_o pitch_v upon_o mombas_n for_o their_o commander_n in_o a_o opinion_n without_o doubt_n that_o he_o can_v not_o choose_v a_o great_a captain_n to_o continue_v in_o garrison_n but_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n who_o this_o enterprise_n every_o way_n concern_v but_o principal_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o office_n of_o captain-general_n of_o the_o state_n which_o be_v thereby_o strike_v at_o so_o vigorous_o oppose_v it_o that_o all_o this_o great_a design_n vanish_v away_o in_o smoke_n the_o second_o reason_n which_o shall_v have_v make_v the_o state_n fear_v the_o not_o have_v any_o great_a success_n in_o this_o war_n be_v that_o they_o have_v scarce_o any_o troop_n to_o guard_v so_o many_o strong_a place_n whereof_o their_o little_a country_n be_v compose_v those_o they_o have_v be_v moreover_o raw_a and_o unexperienced_a seem_v to_o have_v participate_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n who_o be_v so_o addict_v to_o trade_n that_o they_o seem_v now_o uncapable_a of_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o effect_n as_o a_o man_n become_v a_o smith_n by_o his_o often_o work_v in_o iron_n so_o be_v it_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o no_o man_n become_v a_o soldier_n if_o he_o be_v not_o often_o in_o occasion_n of_o war._n for_o this_o nevertheless_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o remedy_n which_o be_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o neighbour_a prince_n who_o have_v good_a troop_n on_o foot_n for_o which_o they_o appear_v not_o to_o have_v any_o use_n but_o when_o they_o will_v address_v to_o they_o they_o find_v these_o prince_n so_o alarm_v at_o the_o design_n of_o

at_o least_o of_o those_o which_o i_o intend_v to_o allege_v be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o have_v any_o succour_n from_o prince_n more_o remote_a whereof_o some_o be_v pensionary_n of_o france_n and_o other_o so_o weak_a and_o timorous_a that_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v afraid_a of_o offend_v she_o it_o be_v to_o little_a purpose_n for_o the_o state_n to_o represent_v to_o they_o that_o their_o interest_n ought_v to_o be_v common_a against_o a_o common_a enemy_n who_o aspire_v after_o a_o universal_a monarchy_n they_o be_v insensible_a as_o i_o may_v say_v which_o i_o do_v
