england_n be_v think_v in_o france_n so_o inconsiderable_a by_o reason_n of_o her_o domestic_a feud_n fear_n and_o incurable_a jealousy_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v fear_v or_o hope_v from_o it_o whereas_o pension_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o potent_a and_o unite_a state_n i_o do_v not_o design_n by_o this_o to_o prove_v that_o no_o french_a pensioner_n be_v now_o maintain_v in_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o conspire_v with_o france_n to_o ruin_n england_n for_o nothing_o or_o that_o which_o be_v next_o to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v as_o silly_a a_o

that_o be_v pretend_v to_o justify_v it_o be_v only_o his_o be_v able_a to_o subsist_v so_o long_o without_o parliamentary_a supply_n now_o this_o i_o believe_v be_v not_o credit_v by_o any_o man_n of_o understanding_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v many_o such_o who_o for_o ill_a end_n speak_v it_o in_o some_o company_n and_o will_v shake_v their_o head_n and_o shrug_v their_o shoulder_n and_o look_v

i_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o believe_v that_o what_o be_v so_o much_o desire_v by_o former_a parliament_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o grateful_a to_o you_o now_o for_o
