he_o so_o that_o the_o breach_n of_o all_o their_o oath_n upon_o that_o election_n be_v by_o some_o style_v absolute_a perjury_n but_o we_o find_v a_o soft_a word_n for_o it_o in_o style_v it_o the_o mortify_v the_o former_a edict_n you_o know_v how_o our_o senior_a burger-master_n cornelius_n de_fw-fr witt_n and_o his_o brother_n the_o pentitioner_n be_v most_o barbarous_o murder_v because_o they_o do_v not_o so_o ready_o comply_v now_o in_o this_o very_a town_n the_o senior_a burger-master_n halewin_n as_o you_o know_v by_o his_o sentence_n print_v with_o you_o be_v settle_v some_o

of_o he_o who_o be_v a_o solid_a judicious_a person_n and_o of_o a_o great_a interest_n and_o popular_a who_o act_v nothing_o in_o that_o but_o with_o the_o good_a like_n and_o underhand_a approbation_n of_o many_o other_o great_a man_n and_o magistrate_n which_o you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v by_o the_o boldness_n of_o his_o expression_n as_o you_o have_v it_o print_v in_o your_o translation_n of_o his_o sentence_n in_o these_o word_n viz._n pag._n 12._o that_o it_o be_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o to_o endeavour_v to_o procure_v a_o peace_n be_v not_o at_o all_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o state_n but_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o those_o that_o employ_v themselves_o about_o some_o honest_a way_n of_o obtain_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v look_v on_o as_o criminal_n but_o rather_o to_o have_v a_o statue_n erect_v they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o with_o the_o peril_n of_o his_o life_n also_o in_o the_o 13._o pag._n it_o be_v say_v that_o be_v before_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n of_o his_o country_n he_o have_v a_o great_a mind_n to_o convince_v they_o that_o it_o be_v none_o of_o his_o fault_n that_o live_v and_o estate_n be_v sacrifice_v to_o man_n and_o that_o he_o will_v rather_o die_v than_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v long_o continue_v and_o to_o play_v on_o dobb_n dobb_n dobb_n fanfare_n for_o the_o king_n of_o england_n by_o who_o he_o mean_v not_o king_n james_n but_o our_o statholder_n for_o who_o sake_n he_o neither_o will_v have_v life_n or_o estate_n sacrify_v nor_o war_n continue_v and_o in_o the_o next_o pag._n it_o be_v add_v further_o that_o in_o case_n some_o solid_a and_o reasonable_a proposal_n of_o peace_n shall_v be_v offer_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o necessary_a and_o salutary_a for_o the_o state_n that_o every_o true_a patriot_n will_v ready_o and_o without_o any_o other_o reason_n have_v embrace_v they_o withal_o assure_v the_o judge_n that_o what_o step_v ever_o he_o have_v make_v in_o this_o affair_n they_o be_v occasion_v by_o nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sincere_a intention_n to_o promote_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o this_o state_n i_o assure_v you_o he_o speak_v these_o thing_n with_o great_a boldness_n and_o want_v not_o the_o majority_n of_o the_o suffrage_n of_o many_o magistrate_n of_o city_n if_o not_o those_o of_o the_o judge_n themselves_o and_o if_o the_o prince_n authority_n have_v be_v as_o great_a now_o as_o when_o he_o be_v first_o make_v statholder_n he_o have_v be_v the_o witted_a rather_o than_o have_v so_o easy_a a_o sentence_n i_o very_o believe_v that_o i_o perfect_o know_v many_o score_n of_o our_o chief_a magistrate_n who_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n with_o mounseur_fw-fr halewin_n and_o by_o the_o conversation_n i_o have_v with_o very_a many_o of_o your_o parliament_n man_n i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o majority_n of_o you_o who_o if_o they_o may_v give_v their_o vote_n by_o ballote_v will_v put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o war_n by_o return_v to_o the_o condition_n our_o country_n be_v in_o before_o the_o war_n and_o if_o they_o will_v consider_v their_o strength_n as_o well_o as_o interest_n they_o will_v value_v the_o save_v of_o their_o country_n from_o ruin_n before_o the_o private_a concern_v of_o any_o prince_n whatsoever_o and_o to_o i_o it_o be_v a_o unaccountable_a thing_n to_o find_v lead_v gentleman_n in_o government_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o so_o forward_o and_o outrageous_o zealous_a to_o supplant_v and_o abdicate_v their_o lawful_a king_n supreme_a governor_n or_o magistrate_n upon_o small_a pretence_n who_o yet_o can_v see_v their_o country_n fleece_v yea_o gnaw_v to_o the_o bone_n with_o tax_n to_o support_v such_o as_o have_v either_o be_v sovereign_n of_o their_o own_o creation_n or_o usurper_n as_o i_o have_v know_v some_o servant_n who_o be_v audacious_a and_o refractory_a to_o their_o master_n and_o yet_o be_v slavish_o coward_n and_o abject_o suffer_v the_o affront_v and_o insolence_n of_o their_o fellow_n servant_n i_o be_o sure_a this_o be_v a_o odious_a disposition_n in_o magistrate_n or_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n as_o you_o be_v style_v but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o head_n of_o this_o your_o second_o enquiry_n i_o can_v assure_v you_o we_o be_v so_o solicitous_a for_o our_o own_o preservation_n and_o suspicious_a of_o our_o statholder_n that_o when_o ever_o we_o shall_v surmise_v that_o he_o shall_v prefer_v the_o preservation_n of_o any_o interest_n before_o we_o we_o shall_v with_o great_a precipitation_n entertain_v any_o reasonable_a proposal_n from_o france_n and_o though_o mounseur_fw-fr halewin_n say_v that_o unless_o france_n will_v deliver_v up_o to_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o some_o considerable_a place_n there_o be_v no_o dutchman_n who_o will_v not_o rather_o sacrifice_v the_o last_o stiver_n he_o have_v then_o think_v of_o a_o peace_n yet_o i_o be_o well_o satisfy_v if_o we_o may_v have_v mastricht_n in_o our_o own_o right_n as_o it_o now_o proper_o belong_v to_o the_o spaniard_n they_o will_v that_o moment_n quit_v the_o interest_n not_o only_o of_o the_o statholder_n but_o of_o all_o our_o confederate_n and_o leave_v they_o all_o in_o the_o lurch_n as_o you_o know_v we_o have_v constant_o do_v in_o all_o the_o separate_a treaty_n we_o have_v have_v and_o be_v well_o know_v even_o to_o a_o scandal_n upon_o we_o in_o those_o of_o 48_o and_o 74._o and_o i_o must_v here_o note_v to_o you_o we_o be_v in_o no_o condition_n to_o continue_v the_o war_n for_o though_o mounseur_fw-fr halewin_n in_o his_o discourse_n to_o mounseur_fw-fr amelet_n say_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o most_o considerable_a family_n of_o our_o country_n suffer_v very_o much_o by_o heavy_a tax_n as_o have_v great_a estate_n in_o land_n which_o carry_v the_o great_a burden_n yet_o the_o merchant_n be_v gentle_o treat_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o trade_n yet_o he_o own_v that_o those_o argument_n he_o use_v in_o page_n the_o three_o and_o four_o be_v only_o to_o magnify_v the_o power_n of_o the_o state_n be_v desirous_a like_o a_o lover_n of_o his_o country_n to_o let_v the_o french_a know_v the_o utmost_a of_o our_o ability_n that_o we_o may_v obtain_v better_a term_n but_o the_o french_a king_n know_v too_o well_o our_o insufficiency_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n for_o the_o tax_n be_v here_o so_o heavy_a that_o i_o know_v several_a substantial_a citizen_n in_o our_o city_n of_o dort_n who_o pay_v as_o much_o for_o tax_n as_o the_o yearly_a rent_n of_o their_o house_n yield_v they_o and_o though_o monsieur_n halewin_n say_v that_o the_o tax_n on_o real_a estate_n can_v cause_v at_o the_o worst_a but_o a_o change_n of_o master_n which_o do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v the_o state_n in_o general_a and_o in_o abstracto_fw-la yet_o sure_o the_o impoverish_n of_o the_o land_a man_n to_o that_o degree_n that_o they_o must_v be_v force_v to_o sell_v their_o estate_n for_o nothing_o to_o other_o that_o be_v able_a to_o pay_v the_o tax_n must_v in_o a_o little_a time_n effect_v the_o state_n in_o general_a who_o can_v subsist_v without_o the_o supply_n of_o the_o terra_fw-la firma_fw-la no_o more_o than_o the_o heart_n brain_n or_o arm_n and_o leg_n without_o supply_n from_o the_o stomach_n for_o however_o it_o be_v unregarded_a all_o
