the_o treaty_n unless_o our_o governor_n mounseur_fw-fr the_o marquis_n of_o gastannaga_n be_v charge_v in_o particular_a his_o majesty_n say_v the_o declaration_n have_v be_v also_o inform_v of_o the_o part_n which_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o low-countries_n have_v in_o the_o enterprise_n which_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n undertake_v against_o england_n by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n have_v very_o good_a eye_n to_o see_v what_o no_o body_n else_o but_o himself_o can_v discover_v but_o i_o will_v fain_o understand_v what_o part_n the_o marquis_n of_o gastannaga_n have_v in_o the_o enterprise_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n do_v he_o right_a out_o any_o of_o his_o master_n ship_n to_o join_v the_o holland_n fleet_n do_v he_o levy_v any_o soldier_n in_o the_o netherlands_o or_o send_v any_o force_n aboard_o to_o land_n in_o england_n do_v he_o lend_v any_o money_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n or_o the_o hollander_n towards_o their_o get_n ready_a their_o fleet_n do_v he_o solicit_v the_o english_a to_o revolt_n and_o favour_n that_o pretend_a invasion_n in_o my_o opinion_n these_o be_v the_o only_a act_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v that_o he_o have_v any_o part_n in_o the_o enterprise_n now_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o daylight_n and_o notorious_a to_o all_o europe_n that_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o netherlands_o be_v never_o guilty_a of_o any_o of_o these_o charge_n and_o that_o he_o can_v be_v upbraid_v with_o any_o false_a step_n that_o ever_o he_o make_v either_o direct_o or_o indirect_o to_o the_o ruin_n of_o king_n james_n but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o truth_n how_o it_o be_v some_o year_n since_o there_o be_v a_o tribunal_n erect_v at_o versailles_n altogether_o resemble_v the_o judgment-seat_n of_o god_n where_o man_n be_v to_o answer_v for_o their_o thought_n as_o well_o as_o their_o action_n in_o this_o tribunal_n which_o understand_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n it_o be_v that_o they_o find_v that_o the_o marquis_n of_o gastannaga_n be_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n very_o glad_a that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v work_n enough_o to_o do_v at_o home_n since_o he_o mind_v so_o little_a those_o affair_n abroad_o that_o most_o concern_v he_o for_o king_n james_n be_v garrantee_n for_o the_o peace_n of_o nimeghen_fw-mi for_o the_o obtain_n of_o which_o his_o brother_n have_v be_v the_o mediator_n it_o behove_v he_o also_o to_o be_v garantee_n for_o the_o truce_n that_o follow_v and_o yet_o he_o sit_v still_o without_o ever_o concern_v himself_o while_o the_o king_n of_o france_n both_o open_o break_v the_o truce_n and_o invade_v the_o empire_n it_o be_v natural_a not_o to_o close_v too_o far_o with_o the_o interest_n of_o those_o who_o do_v not_o close_o with_o we_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v oblige_v thereto_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o marque4ss_n of_o gastannaga_n who_o be_v deep_o engage_v in_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o empire_n not_o a_o little_a perplex_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n so_o strange_o neglect_v the_o peace_n of_o europe_n be_v nothing_o at_o all_o trouble_v to_o see_v he_o deprive_v of_o that_o peace_n himself_o which_o he_o will_v not_o preserve_v to_o other_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n divine_v in_o france_n as_o it_o be_v divine_v that_o the_o emperor_n will_v make_v a_o peace_n with_o the_o turk_n to_o make_v war_n upon_o the_o rhine_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a crime_n of_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o low-countries_n he_o be_v a_o friend_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n before_o the_o enterprise_n of_o england_n nor_o have_v he_o yet_o abandon_v his_o friendship_n but_o have_v always_o preserve_v the_o good_a correspondence_n which_o be_v between_o the_o prince_n and_o him._n this_o be_v another_o of_o his_o crime_n for_o from_o this_o time_n forward_o the_o world_n be_v to_o be_v inform_v that_o france_n be_v not_o only_o the_o arbitratour_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o general_a conclusion_n of_o peace_n but_o she_o be_v also_o the_o mistress_n of_o private_a and_o particular_a tie_n and_o obligation_n of_o friendship_n people_n of_o honesty_n and_o integrity_n be_v no_o long_o to_o have_v any_o other_o friend_n but_o those_o who_o she_o will_v allow_v they_o otherwise_o he_o must_v be_v a_o criminal_a a_o violator_n of_o treaty_n and_o a_o infringer_n of_o alliance_n it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o marquis_n of_o gastannaga_n at_o what_o time_n there_o be_v no_o news_n in_o holland_n of_o what_o pass_v in_o england_n give_v advice_n to_o the_o spanish_a minister_n reside_v at_o the_o hague_n of_o what_o intelligence_n he_o have_v by_o the_o way_n of_o newport_n and_o that_o the_o news_n be_v carry_v to_o the_o princess_n of_o orange_n and_o the_o state_n and_o this_o be_v have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o enterprise_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n according_a to_o the_o interpretation_n of_o france_n for_o that_o without_o this_o intelligence_n the_o prince_n of_o orange_n enterprise_n can_v never_o have_v succeed_v this_o be_v that_o which_o terrify_v king_n james_n this_o be_v that_o which_o cause_v he_o to_o abdicate_v his_o kingdom_n this_o be_v that_o which_o have_v such_o a_o influence_n upon_o his_o army_n that_o they_o refuse_v to_o fight_v in_o a_o word_n this_o be_v that_o which_o do_v the_o work_n thus_o it_o be_v that_o france_n deride_v and_o laugh_v at_o all_o the_o world_n and_o take_v we_o all_o for_o a_o company_n of_o beast_n nevertheless_o these_o specious_a pretence_n be_v the_o ingredient_n of_o a_o delcaration_n of_o war_n and_o make_v up_o the_o principal_a ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o it_o now_o let_v we_o listen_v to_o the_o follow_a part_n of_o the_o declaration_n his_o majesty_n not_o be_v able_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o low-countries_n in_o this_o particular_a affair_n be_v every_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o order_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n who_o by_o so_o many_o tie_n of_o religion_n blood_n and_o assurance_n of_o all_o king_n one_o towards_o another_o be_v oblige_v to_o oppose_v a_o usurpation_n of_o that_o nature_n his_o majesty_n be_v in_o hope_n that_o he_o may_v have_v be_v able_a to_o persuade_v his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n to_o a_o union_n for_o the_o re-establishment_n of_o the_o lawful_a king_n in_o england_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o catholic_n religion_n against_o the_o protestant_a league_n etc._n etc._n his_o majesty_n be_v inform_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o spanish_a ambassador_n in_o england_n be_v every_o day_n with_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n etc._n etc._n and_o bad_a counsel_n prevail_v his_o majesty_n have_v intelligence_n that_o a_o resolution_n be_v take_v to_o favour_v the_o usurper_n of_o england_n and_o to_o join_v with_o the_o protestant_a prince_n behold_v another_o most_o pious_a and_o most_o catholic_n article_n of_o the_o declaration_n and_o now_o after_o this_o who_o can_v ever_o accuse_v the_o king_n of_o france_n of_o not_o behave_v himself_o answerable_a to_o his_o title_n of_o most_o christian_n it_o be_v clear_a from_o hence_o that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v no_o long_o to_o be_v account_v catholic_n since_o he_o be_v become_v a_o friend_n and_o favourer_n of_o the_o protestant_n he_o refuse_v to_o succour_v a_o catholic_n prince_n dispossess_v by_o a_o usurper_n he_o join_v his_o force_n with_o those_o of_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n nevertheless_o the_o marquis_n of_o gastannaga_n do_v not_o relish_v this_o specious_a article_n and_o therefore_o he_o find_v himself_o oblige_v to_o tell_v the_o world_n in_o his_o counter_a declaration_n that_o that_o same_o piece_n of_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n be_v injurious_a to_o the_o devotion_n and_o piety_n of_o his_o master_n as_o be_v labour_v with_o all_o the_o art_n imaginable_a to_o render_v his_o alliance_n wih_o the_o prince_n and_o state_n his_o neighbour_n scandalous_a to_o the_o world._n in_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n of_o which_o we_o have_v already_o repeat_v the_o word_n it_o appear_v that_o his_o majesty_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o peculiar_a abhorrence_n of_o usurper_n and_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v think_v a_o friend_n to_o usurpation_n but_o altogether_o a_o zealot_n for_o the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o lawful_a sovereign_n for_o he_o call_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n a_o usurper_n and_o will_v have_v all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v his_o enemy_n king_n james_n he_o call_v the_o lawful_a king_n of_o england_n and_o will_v have_v all_o the_o world_n to_o succour_v he_o but_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o look_v through_o all_o these_o feign_a show_n of_o his_o good_a nature_n for_o if_o they_o be_v real_a it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n will_v bring_v he_o to_o look_v
