rational_o be_v expect_v it_o will_v come_v to_o be_v it_o either_o possible_a in_o nature_n or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o holland_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o new_a lake_n

the_o number_n of_o our_o people_n i_o fear_v no_o argument_n draw_v from_o either_o natural_a justice_n or_o christian_a charity_n can_v be_v forceable_a enough_o to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o such_o

absolute_a conquest_n of_o the_o unite_a province_n by_o the_o french_a and_o their_o be_v bring_v under_o their_o subjection_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o that_o dreadful_a consequence_n that_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o raise_v the_o blood_n of_o all_o true_a english_a man_n and_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o remedy_n too_o violent_a for_o so_o desperate_a a_o cure_n or_o mean_n that_o can_v be_v call_v unjust_a if_o necessary_a to_o prevent_v so_o great_a a_o evil_a and_o therefore_o instead_o of_o lose_v time_n to_o prove_v what_o be_v so_o manifest_a and_o so_o obvious_a to_o the_o mean_a capacity_n i_o only_o beg_v of_o all_o my_o dear_a countryman_n to_o lay_v the_o present_a state_n of_o thing_n to_o heart_n and_o humble_o move_v both_o house_n to_o

by_o a_o land_n and_o withal_o beat_v the_o french_a out_o of_o what_o they_o possess_v already_o or_o second_o their_o voluntary_a yield_n to_o we_o and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o his_o majesty_n the_o first_o can_v hardly_o be_v so_o much_o as_o suppose_v or_o imagine_v by_o any_o rational_a man_n for_o 1._o if_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o late_a distraction_n and_o the_o unspeakable_a

army_n considerable_a enough_o to_o take_v all_o their_o town_n and_o conquer_v the_o whole_a country_n nay_o to_o conquer_v the_o conqueror_n themselves_o and_o beat_v the_o french_a out_o 3._o grant_v that_o the_o approach_n of_o our_o fleet_n will_v occasion_v a_o great_a disorder_n and_o consternatian_n in_o the_o country_n and_o that_o the_o dutch_a shall_v not_o prove_v able_a to_o

to_o enable_v the_o french_a to_o master_n the_o whole_a country_n whilst_o the_o dutch_a shall_v divide_v and_o draw_v off_o their_o force_n to_o oppose_v we_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a for_o the_o french_a who_o be_v already_o in_o the_o country_n to_z ma_fw-fr ch_n with_o all_o their_o force_n to_o amster_n be_o and_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o town_n before_o we_o can_v land_n then_o for_o we_o to_o prevent_v they_o by_o our_o land_n 4._o last_o if_o the_o french_a ship_n be_v to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o expedition_n what_o security_n have_v we_o their_o man_n will_v promote_v our_o own_o end_n and_o not_o their_o master_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o rather_o turn_v tail_n against_o we_o if_o occasion_n be_v and_o as_o to_o the_o voluntary_a yield_n of_o the_o dutch_a and_o their_o give_a themselves_o up_o to_o we_o i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v as_o irrational_a and_o as_o fond_a a_o conceit_n as_o the_o other_o and_o which_o therefore_o do_v hardly_o need_v be_v confute_v but_o because_o some_o of_o our_o great_a man_n have_v even_o in_o print_n make_v use_v of_o this_o as_o of_o a_o argument_n both_o to_o justify_v the_o war_n in_o point_n of_o prudence_n and_o to_o persuade_v the_o nation_n to_o join_v and_o concur_v with_o the_o cabal_n in_o their_o dark_a counsel_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a and_o we_o owe_v that_o respect_n to_o their_o quality_n as_o to_o lay_v the_o matter_n open_a and_o unfold_v it_o with_o a_o little_a more_o care_n be_v the_o unite_a province_n still_o entire_a and_o untouched_a and_o they_o in_o a_o

that_o the_o balance_n of_o true_a policy_n and_o reason_n shall_v weigh_v down_o by_o much_o on_o the_o french_a side_n and_o that_o the_o best_a part_n of_o their_o trade_n will_v soon_o if_o
