a_o english_a parliament_n insomuch_o that_o all_o the_o most_o palliate_v assurance_n the_o duke_n can_v effect_v by_o any_o mean_n on_o the_o scotch_a nation_n may_v tend_v rather_o in_o the_o end_n to_o his_o hazard_n and_o personal_a deprivation_n than_o any_o progress_n towards_o the_o english_a sovereignty_n and_o certain_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a for_o scotland_n to_o impose_v on_o england_n on_o any_o term_n a_o point_n so_o well_o know_v to_o they_o that_o i_o be_o confident_a they_o will_v venture_v nothing_o more_o on_o any_o such_o account_n than_o what_o tend_v to_o better_v themselves_o by_o some_o temporary_a advantage_n unless_o they_o see_v the_o course_n of_o thing_n accidental_o tempt_v they_o further_o than_o any_o judicious_a prospect_n can_v at_o present_a assure_v they_o howsoever_o it_o will_v lie_v in_o their_o power_n that_o where_o they_o can_v make_v their_o accession_n concurrent_a with_o the_o duke_n they_o will_v still_o be_v in_o a_o

time_n with_o some_o proneness_n appear_v provoke_v by_o reason_n of_o a_o few_o ceremonious_a nicety_n in_o matter_n of_o worship_n to_o abandon_v the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a authority_n of_o their_o prince_n will_v not_o a_o man_n admire_v that_o a_o representative_a of_o the_o same_o people_n shall_v appear_v in_o earnest_a to_o swallow_v a_o popish_a successor_n if_o so_o at_o

acknowledge_v in_o forego_v time_n a_o rational_a man_n may_v well_o admire_v how_o this_o shall_v just_o fall_v upon_o their_o understanding_n with_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n reception_n or_o on_o what_o account_n they_o will_v impart_v themselves_o to_o the_o world_n better_a christian_n or_o subject_n occasion_v from_o the_o duke_n opinion_n or_o presence_n than_o they_o have_v be_v

the_o pride_n and_o profitable_a part_n of_o their_o understanding_n and_o for_o which_o england_n have_v so_o much_o of_o their_o odium_n that_o i_o assure_v any_o self_n whensoever_o the_o duke_n shall_v remove_v his_o be_v from_o that_o kingdom_n they_o will_v take_v it_o very_o heinous_o at_o his_o hand_n it_o not_o occasion_v he_o to_o repent_v that_o he_o ever_o bestow_v his_o presence_n so_o long_o within_o their_o climate_n until_o at_o last_o if_o destitute_a of_o real_a quarrel_n instead_o of_o which_o their_o invention_n be_v luxuriant_a enough_o to_o furnish_v they_o with_o what_o be_v equivolent_a to_o serve_v as_o well_o they_o ground_n not_o only_o a_o high_a distaste_n on_o his_o removal_n but_o expect_v such_o a_o continue_a warmness_n from_o a_o court_n that_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o may_v demand_v no_o less_o than_o its_o permanent_a influence_n among_o they_o ever_o after_o and_o this_o i_o conceive_v may_v probable_o conclude_v the_o acknowledgement_n that_o the_o duke_n may_v have_v from_o their_o gratitude_n hereafter_o which_o can_v proceed_v from_o any_o other_o motive_n than_o their_o aversion_n to_o england_n together_o with_o their_o apprehension_n that_o the_o duke_n shall_v be_v any_o thing_n here_o instead_o of_o what_o they_o design_v he_o there_o and_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o it_o be_v more_o from_o the_o neglect_n he_o have_v receive_v from_o england_n and_o which_o they_o hope_v to_o improve_v than_o from_o any_o reality_n of_o scotch_a duty_n or_o favour_n that_o he_o have_v find_v such_o a_o welcome_a from_o they_o and_o if_o so_o the_o prospect_n that_o his_o highness_n can_v have_v from_o scotland_n though_o fill_v enough_o with_o themselves_o will_v add_v little_a to_o he_o concern_v in_o england_n at_o least_o if_o his_o interest_n be_v no_o otherwise_o intend_v there_o than_o as_o he_o stand_v on_o worse_a term_n here_o of_o which_o there_o be_v too_o much_o ground_n to_o doubt_v and_o give_v he_o too_o much_o assurance_n that_o if_o he_o can_v accord_v the_o sense_n of_o this_o nation_n he_o shall_v sufficient_o diminish_v his_o reputation_n with_o they_o in_o respect_n it_o be_v so_o hard_a to_o unite_v interest_n on_o any_o account_n as_o we_o stand_v under_o one_o monarch_n on_o which_o consideration_n i_o can_v perceive_v what_o future_a good_a can_v accrue_v to_o the_o duke_n by_o any_o intrigue_n with_o that_o people_n it_o be_v true_a they_o may_v enable_v he_o more_o perhaps_o to_o hazard_v on_o his_o account_n and_o they_o together_o the_o rule_n he_o may_v claim_v in_o england_n but_o it_o be_v far_o more_o probable_a that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o perfect_v by_o their_o attempt_n his_o advance_v to_o our_o throne_n since_o by_o arm_n they_o may_v be_v judge_v not_o to_o be_v enough_o strengthen_v to_o accomplish_v that_o work_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v no_o less_o danger_n that_o their_o understanding_n by_o mean_n of_o their_o interest_n as_o have_v be_v instanced_a already_o will_v never_o full_o guide_v they_o to_o comply_v with_o any_o accord_n that_o may_v tend_v to_o the_o duke_n reconcilement_n with_o england_n unless_o they_o be_v well_o pay_v for_o the_o bargain_n which_o show_v enough_o of_o the_o double-face_n or_o various_a contrivance_n of_o the_o scot_n at_o this_o present_a and_o may_v alarm_n the_o duke_n that_o he_o may_v as_o soon_o be_v relinquish_v for_o some_o end_n as_o be_v assist_v for_o other_o by_o scotch_a loyalty_n and_o if_o i_o be_v his_o highness_n i_o shall_v judge_v it_o much_o the_o same_o if_o not_o better_a to_o intermix_v none_o of_o my_o interest_n as_o to_o england_n with_o scottish_n intrigue_n rather_o than_o to_o forward_o their_o capacity_n of_o
