of_o the_o last_o past_a by_o which_o i_o have_v see_v all_o the_o reason_n which_o you_o represent_v to_o make_v i_o understand_v that_o the_o city_n and_o province_n of_o vtrecht_n be_v not_o in_o

have_v no_o law_n and_o that_o the_o army_n of_o the_o king_n must_v be_v maintain_v you_o ought_v to_o accommodate_v yourselves_o to_o the_o say_a sieur_n robert_n so_o as_o to_o furnish_v what_o he_o demand_v otherways_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o you_o must_v fall_v into_o a_o most_o grand_a desolation_n and_o to_o mend_v the_o matter_n the_o honest_a sieur_n robert_n tell_v they_o in_o

not_o sir_n mounsieur_fw-fr say_v the_o frenchman_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o english_a sir_n answer_v the_o captain_n i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o fair_a warning_n to_o the_o english_a to_o stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o put_v themselves_o out_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o come_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o french_a and_o if_o possible_a to_o put_v the_o french_a out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o put_v they_o in_o danger_n why_o sir_n reply_v the_o other_o the_o french_a have_v no_o design_n upon_o you_o but_o only_o as_o your_o own_o fear_n and_o

the_o marshal_n you_o be_v all_o politician_n and_o designer_n you_o have_v you_o say_v a_o hundred_o sail_n of_o ship_n and_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n and_o you_o have_v no_o design_n nor_o ever_o have_v i_o warrant_v you_o to_o make_v yourselves_o master_n of_o flanders_n germany_n holland_n and_o england_n at_o last_o but_o by_o your_o favour_n sir_n you_o must_v pass_v through_o

be_v i_o have_v some_o reason_n for_o my_o conjecture_n i_o assure_v you_o we_o merchant_n be_v in_o hope_n that_o you_o will_v not_o enter_v upon_o a_o war_n which_o must_v be_v so_o great_a a_o hazard_n and_o charge_n to_o the_o nation_n sir_n say_v the_o captain_n you_o offer_v fair_a but_o i_o can_v imagine_v why_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o trouble_v for_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o war_n though_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v come_v to_o your_o share_n at_o last_o to_o defray_v it_o unless_o you_o be_v afraid_a we_o shall_v so_o impoverish_v ourselves_o by_o a_o war_n that_o when_o you_o

own_o particular_a and_o i_o hope_v all_o true_a english_a heart_n be_v of_o the_o same_o tough_a old_a metal_n you_o shall_v first_o try_v how_o you_o can_v digest_v our_o steel_n and_o iron_n before_o you_o taste_v of_o our_o gold_n and_o silver_n i_o find_v my_o two_o gentleman_n be_v run_v into_o a_o heat_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o better_a to_o make_v a_o tack_n as_o the_o boat_n then_o do_v to_o some_o other_o discourse_n which_o we_o present_o do_v and_o so_o past_a the_o time_n till_o we_o come_v to_o dover_n peer_n as_o we_o part_v the_o mounsieur_fw-fr bid_v we_o adieu_o and_o with_o the_o grace_n of_o a_o shrug_n particular_a to_o his_o nation_n he_o tell_v i_o he_o shall_v be_v oblige_v infinite_o if_o he_o have_v the_o good_a fortune_n and_o honour_n to_o meet_v i_o upon_o the_o exchange_n farewell_o say_v the_o captain_n and_o have_v a_o care_n i_o do_v not_o meet_v you_o scatter_v your_o bill_n of_o exchange_n in_o the_o wrong_a place_n and_o take_v up_o news_n to_o send_v into_o france_n in_o lieu_n of_o which_o you_o will_v return_v we_o suspicious_a of_o your_o own_o make_n to_o set_v we_o together_o by_o the_o ear_n at_o home_n that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v secure_v from_o we_o broad_a the_o frenchman_n give_v he_o a_o look_v full_a of_o indignation_n and_o away_o he_o go_v to_o take_v post_o immediate_o for_o london_n i_o be_v extreme_o please_v with_o the_o rugged_a honest_a conversation_n of_o this_o captain_n and_o therefore_o desire_v if_o his_o affair_n will_v permit_v that_o we_o may_v be_v companion_n for_o that_o night_n at_o dover_n where_o i_o have_v some_o little_a affair_n he_o willing_o consent_v to_o my_o proposition_n and_o so_o together_o we_o go_v to_o a_o inn_n where_o we_o have_v no_o soon_o take_v a_o room_n but_o in_o come_v two_o gentleman_n of_o my_o relation_n who_o have_v promise_v to_o meet_v i_o there_o i_o be_v very_o much_o please_v at_o their_o arrival_n and_o after_o mutual_a civility_n pass_v and_o that_o we_o have_v like_o english_a man_n make_v some_o provision_n for_o supper_n without_o ever_o ask_v what_o we_o shall_v pay_v for_o it_o and_o get_v a_o bottle_n of_o good_a canary_n for_o my_o captain_n will_v drink_v no_o french_a wine_n we_o present_o fall_v to_o chat_v the_o first_o question_n you_o may_v be_v sure_o be_v what_o news_n and_o the_o captain_n be_v in_o great_a haste_n what_o shall_v we_o have_v a_o war_n with_o france_n sir_n answer_v one_o of_o my_o friend_n man_n opinion_n be_v various_a as_o their_o interest_n but_o here_o be_v his_o majesty_n speech_n which_o it_o may_v be_v be_v news_n to_o you_o and_o if_o you_o please_v to_o read_v it_o you_o may_v make_v your_o conjecture_n cousin_n say_v i_o you_o mistake_v if_o you_o think_v it_o news_n or_o if_o in_o less_o than_o a_o week_n time_n we_o do_v not_o see_v in_o paris_n every_o thing_n of_o moment_n that_o pass_v at_o london_n the_o french_a trade_n in_o aleppo_n pigeon_n nay_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v they_o they_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o they_o can_v tell_v beforehand_o what_o will_v be_v do_v that_o be_v a_o excellent_a way_n of_o intelligence_n say_v the_o other_o gentleman_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o french_a artifice_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o that_o trick_n of_o pretend_v to_o know_v every_o thing_n among_o we_o have_v do_v they_o considerable_a service_n for_o certain_o it_o have_v give_v occasion_n for_o those_o jealousy_n which_o now_o break_v out_o among_o we_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a intrigue_n betwixt_o the_o
