our_o ancestor_n in_o their_o so_o often-tryed_a valour_n against_o that_o nation_n in_o their_o own_o country_n be_v the_o ordinary_a talk_n then_o in_o england_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o be_v not_o more_o confident_a of_o our_o own_o success_n than_o the_o french_a themselves_o be_v of_o it_o and_o the_o fear_n alone_o of_o our_o declare_v against_o they_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o peace_n if_o we_o look_v back_o upon_o the_o posture_n of_o affair_n in_o france_n at_o that_o time_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v at_o least_o as_o good_a as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o this_o juncture_n and_o consequent_o they_o have_v rather_o less_o reason_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o we_o then_o than_o they_o have_v now_o they_o be_v during_o the_o last_o war_n safe_a and_o at_o ease_n on_o the_o italy_n

not_o only_o declare_v for_o they_o but_o oblige_v the_o duke_n of_o brandenburg_n one_o of_o the_o most_o powerful_a of_o the_o confederate_n to_o return_v with_o his_o whole_a force_n from_o the_o

the_o french_a king_n be_v master_n of_o some_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o the_o best_a of_o his_o subject_n whereof_o some_o forty_o thousand_o be_v esteem_v the_o best_a troop_n in_o his_o army_n

they_o be_v now_o neutral_a at_o best_a the_o duke_n of_o bavaria_n instead_o of_o be_v their_o friend_n as_o then_o he_o be_v now_o one_o of_o the_o firm_a and_o sincere_a of_o the_o confederacy_n against_o they_o not_o only_o be_v sueden_n not_o declare_v for_o they_o but_o both_o they_o and_o the_o other_o northern_a crown_n have_v assist_v the_o confederacy_n with_o their_o troop_n and_o have_v be_v proof_n against_o all_o insinuation_n to_o gain_v they_o to_o the_o french_a interest_n or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o recall_v their_o force_n the_o crown_n of_o spain_n lie_v under_o the_o

no_o better_a circumstance_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o affair_n abroad_o than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o last_o war_n it_o be_v beyond_o all_o question_n their_o circumstance_n at_o home_n admit_v of_o a_o great_a many_o unlucky_a aggravation_n that_o render_v they_o a_o great_a deal_n worse_o now_o than_o they_o be_v then_o their_o country_n be_v exhaust_v and_o

carry_v with_o they_o elsewhere_o and_o of_o these_o a_o great_a many_o do_v now_o help_v to_o compose_v the_o confederate_a troop_n and_o none_o long_o more_o to_o enter_v into_o their_o country_n again_o with_o sword_n in_o their_o hand_n than_o they_o the_o discontent_n in_o france_n be_v raise_v to_o a_o prodigious_a height_n in_o respect_n of_o what_o they_o be_v some_o year_n ago_o and_o in_o short_a though_o the_o french_a be_v sufficient_o miserable_a then_o they_o be_v inexpressible_o now_o much_o more_o so_o and_o to_o cast_v the_o balance_n for_o altogether_o betwixt_o the_o two_o juncture_n of_o the_o war_n we_o be_v treat_v of_o instead_o of_o a_o king_n on_o the_o throne_n of_o england_n the_o french_a be_v assure_v of_o they_o have_v now_o to_o deal_v with_o one_o that_o be_v entire_o in_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n and_o who_o when_o under_o a_o less_o figure_n scorn_v to_o be_v their_o friend_n as_o long_o as_o they_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o common_a enemy_n and_o great_a disturber_n of_o christendom_n there_o be_v but_o two_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o promise_v for_o the_o french_a in_o the_o present_a war_n than_o be_v in_o their_o case_n during_o the_o last_o and_o that_o be_v the_o war_n in_o which_o the_o emperor_n be_v engage_v with_o the_o turk_n and_o the_o french_a be_v possess_v of_o more_o town_n in_o flanders_n and_o germany_n than_o they_o be_v then_o but_o lay_v even_o these_o in_o the_o balance_n with_o those_o disadvantage_n i_o have_v name_v i_o hope_v i_o be_o not_o altogether_o out_o of_o my_o reckon_n in_o say_v their_o case_n be_v at_o lest_o no_o better_o now_o than_o it_o be_v then_o all_o this_o comparison_n i_o have_v make_v for_o two_o reason_n 1._o to_o show_v it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o make_v head_n against_o france_n especial_o in_o a_o offensive_a war_n as_o some_o people_n imagine_v at_o first_o and_o two_o that_o in_o all_o human_a probability_n we_o may_v expect_v either_o now_o to_o bring_v france_n to_o reason_n or_o we_o shall_v never_o do_v it_o and_o if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o then_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o foresee_v the_o thousand_o part_n of_o the_o misery_n that_o attend_v england_n since_o that_o be_v the_o mark_n that_o most_o of_o the_o design_n of_o france_n be_v level_v against_o he_o that_o be_v at_o pain_n to_o reflect_v upon_o that_o prodigious_a turn_n of_o affair_n in_o holland_n in_o the_o year_n 1673._o when_o after_o the_o french_a have_v render_v themselves_o master_n of_o so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o these_o province_n that_o amsterdam_n be_v within_o one_o ace_n of_o send_v the_o key_n of_o their_o city_n to_o the_o french_a king_n then_o at_o utrecht_n the_o prince_n of_o orange_n at_o the_o age_n of_o twenty_o one_o year_n with_o a_o handful_n of_o man_n and_o those_o new-raised_a and_o ill-disciplined_a do_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o that_o mighty_a torrent_n and_o in_o a_o few_o month_n not_o only_o oblige_v the_o french_a king_n in_o the_o height_n of_o all_o his_o glory_n to_o quit_v all_o his_o conquest_n on_o that_o side_n but_o by_o a_o miracle_n of_o bravery_n and_o conduct_n carry_v the_o war_n to_o the_o frontier_n of_o france_n itself_o i_o say_v he_o that_o be_v at_o pain_n to_o consider_v all_o this_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o insuperable_a difficulty_n this_o young_a prince_n lie_v then_o under_o he_o may_v from_o the_o just_a method_n of_o reason_v conclude_v that_o in_o all_o probability_n the_o same_o prince_n when_o at_o the_o head_n of_o three_o kingdom_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o army_n of_o holland_n and_o the_o confederate_n may_v out_o do_v what_o at_o that_o time_n all_o the_o world_n think_v utter_o impossible_a to_o be_v do_v our_o malcontent_n in_o england_n will_v fain_o flatter_v themselves_o with_o hope_n that_o the_o hollander_n may_v come_v to_o be_v weary_v of_o this_o war_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o enter_v into_o term_n of_o accommodation_n with_o france_n rather_o than_o to_o continue_v it_o much_o long_o at_o so_o vast_a a_o charge_n and_o under_o so_o many_o discouragement_n in_o their_o trade_n of_o this_o i_o
