A35796	The Detestable designs of France expos'd, or, The true sentiments of the Spanish Netherlanders representing the injustice of the King of France by his declaration of war against His Catholick Majesty, and the justice of the counter-declaration of the Marquess of Gastannaga his Governour General of the Low-Countries.		1689 (1689)	Wing D1212; ESTC R5366	20,170	32

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

for_o their_o own_o security_n but_o that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n must_v take_v from_o thence_o and_o occasion_n to_o declare_v war_n against_o they_o the_o method_n of_o this_o ambitious_a

make_v any_o levy_n in_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o because_o that_o at_o the_o court_n of_o madrid_n he_o be_v endeavour_v to_o lull_v the_o people_n asleep_a with_o proposal_n of_o peace_n and_o

city_n of_o flanders_n be_v it_o not_o a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o cautious_a against_o a_o faithless_a enemy_n it_o be_v true_a that_o since_o there_o be_v no_o war_n declare_v between_o france_n and_o spain_n it_o behove_v our_o governor_n to_o live_v and_o sleep_v at_o his_o ease_n upon_o the_o faith_n and_o security_n of_o the_o treaty_n since_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o he_o to_o put_v foreign_a force_n into_o his_o fortify_v city_n but_o who_o be_v there_o that_o do_v not_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n or_o trust_n in_o france_n that_o treaty_n of_o truce_n and_o peace_n capitulation_n and_o promise_n be_v but_o rope_n of_o chaff_n which_o she_o break_v in_o the_o first_o fit_n of_o her_o fury_n and_o ambition_n without_o

be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n that_o she_o never_o intend_v to_o break_v the_o truce_n first_o for_o upon_o emergent_a occasion_n every_o body_n have_v need_n of_o his_o own_o in_o short_a france_n

for_o the_o dismal_a invasion_n of_o germany_n will_v not_o thing_n be_v in_o their_o former_a condition_n without_o any_o need_n of_o a_o neutrality_n but_o france_n refuse_v to_o give_v the_o

while_o france_n push_v forward_o her_o furious_a attempt_n against_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o pope_n against_o who_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n have_v declare_v war_n can_v this_o be_v any_o

the_o second_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o france_n make_v use_n of_o all_o the_o trick_n and_o slight_n of_o negotiation_n and_o of_o all_o other_o mean_v to_o disturb_v the_o harmony_n of_o

be_v to_o be_v speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o just_o and_o how_o true_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o complain_v of_o the_o infamous_a alliance_n between_o the_o court_n of_o france_n and_o the_o
