london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1695._o some_o thought_n concern_v the_o better_a security_n of_o our_o trade_n and_o navigation_n and_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n against_o france_n more_o effectual_o humble_o offer_v to_o consideration_n i_o always_o think_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o every_o man_n to_o contribute_v what_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o the_o happiness_n and_o welfare_n of_o his_o native_a country_n and_o therefore_o at_o a_o time_n when_o the_o nation_n be_v engage_v in_o a_o necessary_a and_o expensive_a war_n and_o struggle_v under_o difficulty_n to_o maintain_v it_o as_o it_o ought_v many_o from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v divulge_v their_o notion_n and_o apprehension_n some_o for_o raise_v of_o money_n some_o for_o the_o better_a or_o more_o thrifty_a management_n of_o sundry_a particular_n relate_v to_o the_o war_n some_o one_o thing_n and_o some_o another_o and_o whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o right_n or_o wrong_n i_o think_v while_o they_o modest_o give_v their_o opinion_n they_o do_v not_o deserve_v blame_n but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o none_o have_v yet_o thorough_o discover_v the_o malady_n under_o which_o we_o labour_v or_o propose_v the_o full_a and_o proper_a remedy_n perhaps_o in_o time_n it_o may_v and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o i_o have_v resolve_v to_o offer_v my_o thought_n to_o the_o public_a in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n 1._o and_o first_o i_o shall_v consider_v what_o according_a to_o my_o apprehension_n be_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o england_n in_o general_a and_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o present_a war_n with_o france_n in_o particular_a two_o what_o have_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o hitherto_o we_o see_v no_o better_a effect_n of_o this_o war._n three_o by_o what_o mean_v it_o may_v be_v advantageous_o continue_v and_o at_o length_n arrive_v to_o its_o desire_a issue_n and_o as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o strength_n of_o england_n or_o rather_o of_o great_a britain_n and_o ireland_n lie_v in_o the_o number_n and_o strength_n of_o their_o fleet_n at_o sea_n and_o those_o fleet_n be_v always_o strong_a or_o weak_a in_o proportion_n to_o those_o of_o our_o neighbour_n nation_n heretofore_o before_o trade_n be_v drive_v to_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n the_o european_a nation_n be_v not_o so_o powerful_a and_o numerous_a in_o ship_n of_o force_n nor_o be_v there_o need_v of_o it_o when_o the_o dutch_a fit_v out_o but_o 40_o ship_n of_o war_n and_o the_o french_a but_o 20_o it_o suffice_v then_o that_o england_n fit_v out_o 60_o or_o a_o few_o more_o but_o since_o both_o the_o dutch_a and_o french_a as_o well_o as_o we_o have_v enlarge_v our_o trade_n to_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n more_o seaman_n have_v be_v breed_v in_o each_o nation_n and_o they_o thereby_o enable_v to_o fit_v out_o great_a fleet_n in_o time_n of_o war_n than_o former_o the_o french_a king_n well_o consider_v that_o he_o can_v never_o expect_v any_o considerable_a success_n against_o england_n or_o holland_n unless_o he_o have_v a_o fleet_n able_a to_o deal_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o wise_o for_o himself_o provide_v so_o considerable_a a_o navy_n such_o as_o not_o many_o thought_n he_o will_v ever_o have_v be_v able_a to_o fit_a to_o sea_n viz._n 100_o sail_n or_o near_o of_o capital_a ship_n but_o still_o they_o prove_v too_o few_o against_o england_n and_o holland_n unite_v because_o they_o be_v able_a to_o send_v out_o a_o great_a and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v confident_o enough_o affirm_v that_o at_o what_o time_n soever_o either_o of_o the_o three_o nation_n for_o no_o other_o stand_n in_o competition_n in_o these_o sea_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o set_v forth_o a_o fleet_n of_o ship_n capable_a to_o engage_v the_o fleet_n of_o the_o other_o two_o nation_n in_o conjunction_n that_o nation_n must_v one_o time_n or_o other_o give_v up_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o be_v expose_v to_o invasion_n and_o conquest_n or_o at_o least_o to_o great_a disturbance_n and_o annoyance_n in_o time_n of_o war._n and_o because_o england_n alone_o by_o which_o i_o all_o along_o mean_v great_a britain_n and_o ireland_n be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o while_o it_o understand_v and_o pursue_v its_o true_a interest_n therefore_o in_o such_o case_n by_o consequence_n neither_o holland_n nor_o france_n can_v but_o be_v subject_v to_o the_o like_a hazard_n and_o danger_n when_o england_n be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o either_o of_o those_o other_o nation_n as_o it_o be_v now_o with_o holland_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o france_n may_v some_o time_n ago_o have_v be_v bring_v down_o if_o proper_a method_n have_v be_v prosecute_v not_o that_o i_o will_v hereby_o go_v about_o to_o blame_v or_o censure_v the_o conduct_n of_o affair_n but_o as_o all_o humane_a action_n be_v subject_a to_o various_a casualty_n and_o event_n and_o many_o difficulty_n occur_v in_o great_a transaction_n which_o be_v not_o easy_o obviate_v so_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o same_o fact_n have_v befall_v this_o kingdom_n the_o french_a 〈…〉_o 〈…〉_o step_n during_o this_o war_n some_o by_o land_n but_o more_o by_o sea_n or_o perhaps_o they_o may_v still_o have_v be_v in_o a_o better_a condition_n and_o we_o in_o a_o worse_o and_o whoever_o shall_v consider_v well_o the_o late_a revolution_n the_o great_a difficulty_n the_o king_n have_v encounter_v not_o only_o in_o form_v and_o carry_v on_o the_o confederacy_n abroad_o but_o in_o manage_v the_o different_a interest_n and_o faction_n at_o home_n may_v rather_o think_v it_o strange_a to_o see_v thing_n look_v with_o so_o good_a a_o face_n in_o the_o general_a as_o they_o do_v the_o king_n have_v do_v his_o part_n all_o that_o be_v for_o he_o personal_o to_o do_v to_o a_o miracle_n in_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n with_o invincible_a courage_n and_o resolution_n and_o have_v never_o lose_v a_o minute_n time_n or_o any_o opportunity_n to_o prosecute_v it_o with_o vigour_n which_o i_o wish_v can_v be_v say_v of_o all_o his_o subject_n but_o the_o discuss_a thing_n in_o order_n to_o a_o yet_o more_o successful_a prosecution_n of_o the_o war_n and_o not_o complaint_n be_v the_o province_n i_o be_o now_o engage_v in_o and_o in_o order_n to_o that_o i_o may_v say_v that_o i_o be_o and_o always_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o parliament_n have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o give_v the_o king_n too_o much_o money_n from_o time_n to_o time_n that_o the_o first_o three_o year_n if_o they_o have_v give_v he_o half_o as_o much_o more_o it_o will_v have_v save_v the_o nation_n a_o great_a deal_n in_o bring_v the_o war_n soon_o to_o a_o good_a end_n and_o i_o think_v still_o that_o it_o be_v better_a and_o more_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o give_v 8_o million_o a_o year_n than_o 5_o provide_v it_o be_v well_o lay_v out_o which_o be_v no_o difficult_a matter_n to_o see_v to_o i_o have_v often_o hear_v it_o say_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v always_o give_v the_o king_n what_o he_o ask_v but_o the_o reason_n seem_v plain_a why_o the_o king_n or_o his_o minister_n ask_v no_o more_o and_o that_o be_v because_o it_o come_v with_o so_o much_o difficulty_n whereas_o if_o the_o people_n do_v well_o consider_v how_o much_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n to_o bring_v down_o the_o exorbitant_a power_n of_o france_n they_o will_v give_v more_o free_o and_o ready_o than_o the_o king_n can_v ask_v for_o what_o security_n have_v any_o in_o england_n of_o enjoy_v their_o religion_n their_o law_n their_o liberty_n and_o property_n while_o france_n have_v a_o fleet_n and_o army_n able_a to_o overcome_v we_o if_o we_o be_v single_o engage_v against_o they_o at_o least_o they_o have_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o war_n and_o how_o fatal_a will_v it_o have_v be_v to_o we_o if_o england_n and_o france_n have_v join_v together_o first_o to_o ruin_n holland_n and_o then_o to_o set_v up_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n in_o england_n as_o it_o be_v design_v have_v the_o late_a reign_n continue_v and_o as_o yet_o the_o intention_n of_o some_o be_v if_o they_o can_v break_v the_o confederacy_n or_o take_v off_o the_o king_n or_o raise_v a_o civil_a war_n in_o england_n before_o the_o power_n of_o france_n be_v abate_v it_o be_v true_a the_o hogue_n the_o a_o ship_n so_o call_v
