shall_v take_v place_n no_o treaty_n of_o peace_n can_v any_o long_o subsist_v for_o beside_o the_o renew_n of_o those_o of_o the_o union_n what_o do_v these_o follow_a word_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n mean_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o eternal_a oblivion_n of_o what_o be_v pass_v on_o both_o side_n this_o treaty_n make_v a_o inviolable_a friendship_n and_o a_o most_o

peace_n and_o reconcilement_n be_v conclude_v between_o prince_n it_o be_v no_o long_o permit_v to_o renew_v the_o difference_n pass_v nor_o to_o make_v war_n without_o grievance_n the_o three_o reflection_n be_v that_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n take_v in_o its_o true_a sense_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o confirmation_n of_o that_o of_o copenhagen_n 1660._o and_o the_o other_o follow_n as_o it_o appear_v clear_o by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o second_o article_n in_o that_o treaty_n ...._o and_o in_o all_o the_o right_n privilege_n and_o pre-eminencies_a that_o he_o enjoy_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o westphalia_n and_o the_o north_n etc._n etc._n this_o show_v evident_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o treaty_n have_v proper_o be_v but_o only_o to_o settle_v thing_n again_o upon_o the_o same_o foot_n they_o be_v before_o now_o since_o all_o thing_n have_v be_v re-establish_v and_o the_o late_a duke_n satisfy_v with_o it_o until_o his_o death_n why_o then_o do_v he_o change_v they_o at_o present_a and_o give_v beginning_n to_o new_a trouble_n that_o may_v prove_v dangerous_a to_o the_o whole_a country_n of_o thing_n by_o no_o great_a importance_n the_o four_o reflection_n be_v that_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n or_o rather_o his_o counsellor_n aught_o to_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v very_o many_o reason_n which_o ought_v to_o bind_v he_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o denmark_n rather_o than_o to_o that_o of_o sweden_n for_o beside_o that_o which_o the_o king_n and_o they_o have_v in_o common_a in_o their_o duchy_n their_o treaty_n of_o union_n the_o disorder_n and_o the_o prejudice_n that_o division_n may_v produce_v and_o the_o friendship_n there_o natural_o aught_o to_o be_v between_o prince_n of_o the_o same_o blood_n and_o descend_v from_o the_o same_o king_n be_v not_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n for_o these_o many_o year_n presumptif_a heir_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o norway_n and_o be_v not_o this_o present_a duke_n become_v heir_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o denmark_n by_o the_o duchess_n his_o mother_n now_o if_o these_o tie_v do_v produce_v a_o good_a understanding_n i_o know_v not_o what_o can_v i_o go_v on_o to_o my_o second_o question_n viz._n to_o inquire_v if_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v well_o ground_v to_o proceed_v as_o he_o do_v hereupon_o i_o shall_v make_v the_o follow_a reflection_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n have_v no_o difference_n with_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n his_o ally_n enjoy_v in_o peace_n his_o domain_o revenue_n and_o his_o sovereignty_n joint_o with_o the_o king_n his_o joint-lord_n and_o separately_z over_o his_o own_o vassal_n it_o be_v surprise_v that_o he_o shall_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o kindle_v a_o war_n in_o the_o north_n and_o not_o rather_o try_v all_o mean_n of_o a_o accommodation_n especial_o since_o the_o whole_a difference_n be_v but_o about_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n the_o ground_n of_o which_o the_o party_n agree_v on_o to_o this_o they_o will_v say_v that_o there_o have_v be_v conference_n hold_v and_o be_v break_v of_o but_o as_o each_o prince_n protest_v that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o fault_n that_o these_o conference_n take_v no_o effect_n it_o be_v a_o mark_n that_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o renew_v they_o and_o yet_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v better_a to_o attempt_v it_o again_o by_o way_n of_o negotiation_n than_o by_o forcible_a and_o unlawful_a mean_n my_o second_o reflection_n be_v that_o though_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v guarantee_n and_o party_n concern_v in_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n yet_o he_o can_v give_v it_o what_o sense_n and_o extent_n he_o please_v the_o three_o be_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v not_o guarantee_n of_o the_o say_a treaty_n for_o the_o true_a guarantee_n that_o be_v to_o say_v those_o who_o can_v have_v right_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o treaty_n be_v the_o mediator_n viz._n the_o emperor_n the_o elector_n of_o saxony_n and_o brandenburg_n but_o suppose_v that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v guarantee_n of_o this_o treaty_n towards_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o the_o state_n general_n be_v so_o likewise_o so_o that_o it_o will_v be_v well_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o act_n unanimous_o with_o the_o mediator_n and_o guarantee_n or_o at_o least_o not_o to_o act_n without_o their_o consent_n or_o advice_n and_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o oblige_v to_o do_v it_o for_o that_o it_o be_v his_o interest_n to_o manage_v the_o power_n that_o can_v do_v much_o in_o this_o affair_n and_o will_v have_v reason_n to_o be_v offend_v at_o his_o proceed_n that_o which_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v not_o consult_v be_v that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v it_o be_v for_o their_o interest_n to_o suffer_v the_o swede_n to_o render_v themselves_o more_o powerful_a in_o germany_n than_o they_o be_v nor_o that_o they_o shall_v put_v their_o troop_n into_o a_o country_n where_o denmark_n have_v so_o great_a a_o right_n i_o know_v they_o will_v answer_v that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v a_o young_a prince_n who_o have_v ambition_n and_o courage_n all_o this_o i_o grant_v but_o be_v this_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o undertake_v a_o war_n upon_o for_o in_o short_a it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n will_v not_o be_v idle_a or_o want_v to_o himself_o and_o must_v one_o not_o have_v strong_a and_o just_a reason_n when_o he_o undertake_v a_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a a_o consequence_n without_o which_o a_o prince_n render_v himself_o accountable_a to_o god_n of_o all_o the_o blood_n that_o shall_v be_v shed_v in_o the_o war_n he_o undertake_v or_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o nay_o i_o dare_v proceed_v yet_o far_o to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o always_o enough_o that_o a_o prince_n have_v good_a reason_n on_o his_o side_n to_o begin_v a_o war_n it_o must_v be_v for_o some_o weighty_a and_o important_a affair_n that_o be_v worth_a the_o while_n without_o which_o he_o be_v still_o accountable_a to_o god_n for_o all_o the_o disorder_n that_o may_v ensue_v now_o can_v any_o body_n reasonable_o say_v that_o to_o fortify_v the_o duchy_n of_o sleswig_n in_o one_o place_n more_o than_o in_o another_o or_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n be_v a_o matter_n that_o merit_v the_o hazard_n of_o involve_v three_o kingdom_n in_o war_n and_o trouble_n this_o be_v so_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o any_o body_n can_v advise_v the_o king_n of_o sweden_n to_o such_o a_o enterprise_n but_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v have_v i_o speak_v plain_o i_o must_v needs_o confess_v between_o you_o and_o i_o that_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o only_o the_o design_n to_o help_v the_o duke_n to_o rebuild_v his_o fort_n be_v the_o true_a motive_n that_o make_v the_o swede_n act_n thus_o and_o you_o can_v never_o beat_v it_o out_o of_o my_o head_n but_o that_o they_o have_v some_o other_o project_n whereof_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n be_v but_o the_o cloak_n however_o it_o be_v other_o prince_n and_o power_n in_o europe_n and_o especial_o england_n and_o holland_n must_v see_v if_o it_o be_v their_o interest_n in_o these_o present_a circumstance_n of_o affair_n to_o let_v the_o war_n break_v out_o in_o the_o north_n and_o not_o to_o keep_v the_o balance_n equal_a between_o the_o two_o king_n and_o how_o can_v this_o be_v as_o long_o as_o one_o make_v himself_o master_n of_o a_o country_n whereof_o he_o have_v no_o right_a and_o which_o to_o speak_v proper_o belong_v to_o the_o other_o moreover_o every_o body_n know_v that_o the_o treaty_n of_o sweden_n with_o the_o town_n of_o bremen_n do_v expire_v with_o this_o century_n and_o that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n may_v renew_v his_o pretension_n that_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a either_o to_o surprise_v this_o town_n or_o to_o have_v gain_v a_o party_n therein_o to_o send_v some_o troop_n from_o thence_o into_o sleswig_n and_o to_o throw_v a_o great_a number_n into_o that_o country_n under_o pretence_n of_o make_v up_o the_o number_n again_o that_o he_o may_v have_v a_o considerable_a army_n in_o germany_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o neighbour_a prince_n will_v have_v a_o watchful_a eye_n upon_o these_o affair_n for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v rely_v upon_o their_o care_n submit_v my_o reflection_n to_o the_o more_o judicious_a and_o my_o conjecture_n to_o the_o event_n i_o be_o sir_n you_o finis_fw-la book_n print_v for_o tho._n bennet_n the_o certainty_n and_o necessity_n of_o religion_n in_o general_n or_o the_o first_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o humane_a duty_n establish_v in_o eight_o sermon_n preach_v at_o st._n martin_n in_o the_o field_n at_o the_o lecture_n for_o the_o year_n

all_o the_o cavil_n and_o insinuation_n of_o such_o as_o pretend_v to_o allow_v natural_a religion_n and_o reject_v the_o gospel_n both_o by_o francis_n gastril_n b._n d._n and_o preacher_n to_o the_o honourable_a society_n of_o lincolns-inn_n a_o conference_n with_o a_o theist_n in_o four_o part_n complete_a by_o william_n nichols_n d.d._n

here_o say_v be_v no_o cavil_v for_o to_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o say_v one_o need_v but_o to_o read_v the_o five_o article_n of_o the_o same_o treaty_n which_o say_v thus_o as_o for_o the_o union_n and_o agreement_n between_o the_o two_o house_n and_o the_o treaty_n make_v till_o the_o year_n 1675._o they_o shall_v continue_v in_o their_o full_a force_n and_o vigour_n and_o be_v religious_o keep_v and_o observe_v as_o well_o as_o the_o treaty_n of_o westphalia_n the_o north_n and_o fontainebleau_n who_o see_v not_o that_o how_o sovereign_a soever_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n be_v or_o what_o right_o soever_o he_o have_v to_o build_v fort_n and_o to_o put_v garrison_n in_o they_o etc._n etc._n he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o what_o agree_v with_o these_o treaty_n of_o union_n and_o agreement_n between_o the_o house_n else_o the_o five_o article_n be_v useless_a now_o the_o question_n be_v if_o what_o the_o duke_n do_v be_v not_o contrary_a to_o these_o treaty_n this_o be_v my_o first_o reflection_n the_o second_o be_v that_o without_o descend_v to_o the_o particular_n of_o what_o i_o here_o before_o have_v speak_v concern_v the_o aim_n and_o intention_n of_o these_o treaty_n of_o union_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o say_v that_o all_o treaty_n of_o union_n be_v by_o right_a such_o that_o although_o those_o who_o treat_v shall_v find_v their_o interest_n whole_o separateed_o one_o of_o the_o party_n can_v do_v nothing_o that_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o other_o without_o infringe_v the_o treaty_n else_o it_o be_v no_o long_o a_o treaty_n of_o union_n this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n incontestable_a and_o be_v so_o with_o how_o much_o more_o reason_n be_v it_o when_o the_o party_n have_v the_o right_n and_o interest_n in_o common_a as_o in_o this_o present_a case_n the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n therefore_o be_v to_o prove_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o common_a interest_n to_o build_v fort_n in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o will_v build_v they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o good_a and_o preservation_n of_o the_o country_n but_o also_o that_o these_o fort_n can_v be_v to_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n his_o joint-lord_n and_o this_o be_v what_o he_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v for_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n he_o will_v build_v they_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o country_n which_o be_v useless_a for_o its_o preservation_n see_v it_o be_v never_o think_v necessary_a to_o fortify_v but_o only_o the_o frontier_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o fortify_v himself_o against_o the_o king_n deprive_v his_o majesty_n of_o the_o right_n of_o the_o general_a inspection_n he_o have_v over_o the_o whole_a duchy_n and_o consequent_o the_o duke_n break_v visible_o the_o union_n and_o agreement_n between_o the_o two_o house_n and_o even_o the_o community_n though_o it_o shall_v not_o extend_v any_o further_a than_o to_o the_o nobility_n and_o clergy_n for_o this_o community_n alone_o be_v enough_o to_o hinder_v one_o of_o the_o sovereign_n from_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o general_a interest_n of_o the_o sovereignty_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o other_o i_o think_v the_o king_n have_v reason_n to_o tell_v the_o duke_n you_o have_v right_o to_o build_v fort_n i_o confess_v it_o you_o have_v tonningen_n of_o which_o you_o be_v master_n without_o dispute_n but_o that_o you_o may_v do_v nothing_o to_o my_o prejudice_n and_o that_o that_o which_o you_o design_v to_o do_v may_v be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o common_a sovereignty_n let_v we_o agree_v about_o the_o place_n and_o the_o work_n afterward_o you_o may_v build_v free_o and_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o oppose_v it_o that_o i_o will_v assist_v you_o but_o the_o duke_n instead_o of_o act_v unanimous_o with_o the_o king_n for_o the_o common_a good_a will_v alone_o give_v law_n explain_v the_o treaty_n as_o he_o please_v and_o be_v the_o sovereign_a arbiter_n in_o a_o thing_n where_o he_o have_v but_o only_o his_o vote_n this_o be_v not_o yet_o all_o for_o the_o duke_n be_v so_o far_o from_o consider_v joint_o with_o the_o king_n what_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o common_a duchy_n that_o he_o introduce_v there_o the_o hereditary_a enemy_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o denmark_n build_v fort_n and_o put_v they_o in_o their_o hand_n pretend_v if_o i_o so_o may_v say_v to_o give_v the_o sovereignty_n another_o master_n be_v this_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o union_n between_o the_o two_o house_n be_v this_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o 1658._o and_o of_o the_o letters-patent_n this_o be_v so_o true_a that_o i_o will_v fain_o ask_v those_o who_o have_v advise_v the_o duke_n to_o act_n as_o he_o do_v if_o now_o the_o swedish_n troop_n be_v in_o his_o country_n they_o be_v assure_v that_o their_o master_n be_v master_n enough_o to_o make_v they_o leave_v it_o when_o he_o command_v and_o be_v there_o never_o any_o example_n that_o prince_n have_v pay_v dear_a for_o their_o passion_n desire_v of_o revenge_n and_o too_o much_o trust_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o say_v that_o those_o troop_n shall_v swear_v fidelity_n to_o the_o duke_n and_o obey_v his_o order_n for_o beside_o that_o such_o oath_n be_v but_o useless_a precaution_n according_a to_o the_o practice_n now_o adays_o one_o must_v be_v wilful_o blind_a not_o to_o see_v that_o whatsoever_o happen_v the_o king_n of_o sweden_n will_v always_o be_v master_n of_o his_o troop_n and_o the_o duke_n order_n must_v submit_v to_o he_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o duke_n business_n that_o he_o be_v master_n at_o home_n and_o that_o he_o have_v right_a to_o make_v alliance_n but_o this_o be_v a_o mistake_n since_o he_o carry_v the_o thing_n too_o far_o for_o it_o be_v chief_o the_o king_n business_n who_o interest_n it_o be_v to_o hinder_v the_o swede_n from_o fortify_v themselves_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o dominion_n beside_o can_v one_o say_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v so_o absolute_a master_n even_o of_o his_o portion_n in_o the_o duchy_n that_o he_o can_v dispose_v of_o it_o as_o he_o please_v no_o certain_o for_o without_o allege_v the_o community_n over_o the_o nobility_n and_o clergy_n and_o the_o union_n which_o hinder_v one_o of_o the_o sovereign_n from_o undertake_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o other_o one_o need_v but_o read_v the_o treaty_n of_o 1658._o for_o to_o see_v that_o the_o right_n of_o vassalage_n and_o sovereignty_n be_v not_o yield_v but_o to_o the_o duke_n and_o their_o issue_n males_n bear_v and_o to_o be_v bear_v in_o lawful_a marriage_n and_o not_o to_o any_o other_o and_o therefore_o the_o issue_n males_n once_o fail_v the_o king_n remain_v sovereign_a alone_a and_o enter_v into_o all_o his_o right_n again_o as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v beside_o the_o letters-patent_n say_v express_o that_o the_o duchy_n of_o sleswig_n can_v be_v alienate_v neither_o in_o whole_a nor_o in_o part_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o king_n and_o crown_n of_o denmark_n final_o as_o for_o the_o right_n of_o make_v alliance_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v that_o what_o right_o soever_o the_o duke_n have_v to_o that_o yet_o nothing_o can_v authorize_v he_o to_o put_v the_o country_n in_o the_o hand_n or_o power_n of_o any_o other_o nor_o by_o consequence_n to_o introduce_v foreign_a troop_n for_o what_o reason_n then_o do_v he_o
