A63120	A short history of standing armies in England	Trenchard, John, 1662-1723.	1698 (1698)	Wing T2115; ESTC R39727	36,748	56

30_o of_o july_n though_o there_o appear_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o may_v not_o have_v do_v it_o when_o he_o first_o come_v into_o the_o harbour_n which_o be_v more_o than_o seven_o week_n before_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o resolution_n of_o these_o poor_a man_n weary_a out_o all_o their_o disappointment_n when_o the_o convention_n meet_v they_o resolve_v upon_o twenty_o eight_o article_n as_o the_o preliminary_n upon_o which_o they_o will_v dispose_v the_o crown_n but_o this_o design_n dwindle_v into_o a_o declaration_n of_o our_o right_n which_o be_v in_o thirteen_o article_n and_o the_o most_o considerable_a viz._n that_o the_o raise_n and_o keep_v up_o a_o stand_a army_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n be_v contrary_a to_o law_n have_v tag_v to_o it_o these_o word_n without_o authority_n of_o parliament_n as_o if_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o parliament_n will_v not_o have_v make_v it_o legal_a without_o those_o word_n or_o that_o their_o consent_n will_v make_v it_o less_o dangerous_a this_o make_v the_o jacobite_n say_v in_o those_o early_a day_n that_o some_o evil_a counsellor_n design_v to_o play_v the_o same_o game_n again_o of_o a_o stand_a army_n and_o attribute_v unjust_o the_o neglect_n of_o ireland_n to_o the_o same_o cause_n because_o by_o that_o omission_n it_o be_v make_v necessary_a to_o raise_v a_o great_a army_n to_o reduce_v it_o with_o which_o the_o king_n acquaint_v the_o parliament_n the_o 8_o of_o march_n when_o speak_v of_o the_o deplorable_a condition_n of_o ireland_n he_o declare_v he_o think_v it_o not_o advisable_v to_o attemt_a the_o reduce_n it_o with_o less_o than_o 20000_o horse_n and_o foot_n this_o be_v a_o bitter_a pill_n to_o the_o parliament_n who_o think_v they_o may_v have_v manage_v their_o share_n of_o the_o war_n with_o france_n at_o sea_n but_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n a_o great_a army_n must_v be_v raise_v or_o ireland_n lose_v and_o to_o gild_v it_o all_o the_o courtier_n usher_v in_o their_o speech_n with_o this_o declaration_n that_o they_o will_v be_v the_o first_o for_o disband_v they_o when_o the_o war_n be_v over_o and_o this_o declaration_n have_v be_v make_v as_o often_o as_o a_o army_n have_v be_v debate_v since_o during_o the_o war_n and_o i_o suppose_v punctual_o observe_v last_o session_n at_o last_o the_o thing_n be_v consent_v to_o and_o the_o king_n issue_v forth_o commission_n for_o the_o raise_n of_o horse_n foot_n and_o dragoon_n in_o this_o army_n very_o few_o gentleman_n of_o estate_n in_o ireland_n can_v get_v employment_n though_o they_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n here_o and_o make_v their_o utmost_a application_n for_o they_o it_o be_v a_o common_a objection_n by_o some_o colonel_n that_o a_o man_n have_v a_o estate_n there_o which_o in_o all_o likelihood_n will_v have_v make_v he_o more_o vigorous_a in_o reduce_v the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v long_o after_o this_o army_n be_v raise_v before_o they_o can_v be_v ready_a to_o be_v transport_v and_o even_o then_o it_o be_v common_o say_v that_o shomberg_n find_v many_o thing_n out_o of_o order_n and_o when_o they_o be_v at_o last_o transport_v which_o be_v about_o the_o middle_n of_o august_n they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o fight_v the_o enemy_n though_o late_o baffle_v before_o londonderry_n especial_o their_o carriage_n come_v not_o to_o they_o till_o the_o 24_o of_o september_n when_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o go_v into_o winter-quarter_n by_o this_o mean_v the_o irish_a get_v strength_n and_o courage_n and_o three_o fourth_n of_o our_o army_n perish_v at_o the_o camp_n at_o dundalk_n but_o though_o our_o army_n can_v do_v nothing_o yet_o the_o militia_n of_o the_o country_n almost_o without_o arm_n or_o clothes_n perform_v miracle_n witness_v that_o memorable_a siege_n of_o londonderry_n the_o defeat_n of_o general_n mackarty_n who_o be_v entrench_v in_o a_o bog_n with_o ten_o thousand_o regular_a troop_n and_o attack_v by_o fifteen_o hundred_o

be_v dismiss_v by_o kirk_n with_o scorn_n and_o ignominy_n and_o most_o of_o their_o officer_n leave_v to_o starve_v thus_o the_o war_n in_o ireland_n be_v nurse_v up_o either_o through_o chance_n inadvertency_n or_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o affair_n for_o i_o be_o unwilling_a to_o think_v it_o be_v design_n till_o at_o last_o it_o be_v grow_v so_o big_a that_o nothing_o less_o than_o his_o majesty_n great_a genius_n and_o the_o usual_a success_n that_o have_v always_o attend_v his_o conduct_n can_v have_v overcome_v it_o when_o the_o parliament_n meet_v that_o winter_n they_o fall_v upon_o the_o examination_n of_o the_o irish_a affair_n and_o find_v commissary_n shale_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o miscarriage_n they_o address_v his_o majesty_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o acquaint_v the_o house_n who_o it_o be_v that_o advise_v the_o employ_v he_o which_o his_o majesty_n do_v not_o remember_v they_o then_o address_v that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o order_v he_o to_o be_v take_v into_o custody_n and_o it_o be_v do_v according_o upon_o which_o shale_n send_v a_o letter_n to_o the_o speaker_n desire_v he_o may_v be_v bring_v over_o to_o england_n where_o he_o will_v vindicat_fw-la himself_n and_o justify_v what_o he_o have_v do_v then_o the_o house_n address_v his_o majesty_n again_o that_o he_o may_v be_v bring_v over_o with_o all_o convenient_a speed_n and_o the_o king_n be_v please_v to_o answer_v that_o he_o have_v give_v such_o order_n already_o then_o the_o house_n refer_v the_o matter_n to_o a_o private_a committee_n but_o before_o any_o report_n make_v or_o shale_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o england_n the_o parliament_n be_v prorogue_v and_o after_o dissolve_v and_o soon_o after_o he_o fall_v sick_a and_o die_v the_o neglect_n of_o ireland_n this_o year_n make_v it_o necessary_a to_o raise_v more_o force_n and_o increase_v our_o establishment_n which_o afterward_o upon_o pretence_n of_o invade_v france_n be_v advance_v to_o eighty_o seven_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o ninety_o eight_o men._n at_o last_o by_o our_o great_a army_n and_o fleet_n and_o the_o constant_a expense_n of_o maintain_v they_o we_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o the_o oeconomy_n skill_n and_o policy_n of_o france_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o our_o difficulty_n bring_v they_o to_o term_n both_o safe_a and_o honourable_a it_o not_o be_v to_o be_v purpose_n of_o this_o discourse_n i_o shall_v omit_v give_v any_o account_n of_o the_o conduct_n of_o our_o fleet_n during_o this_o war_n how_o few_o advantage_n we_o reap_v by_o it_o and_o how_o many_o opportunity_n we_o lose_v of_o destroy_v the_o french_a only_o thus_o much_o i_o will_v observe_v that_o though_o a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o may_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o negligence_n ignorance_n or_o treachery_n of_o inferior_a officer_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o so_o universal_o happen_v through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o war_n and_o unpunished_a too_o notwithstanding_o the_o clamour_n of_o the_o merchant_n and_o repeat_v complaint_n in_o parliament_n unless_o the_o cause_n have_v lay_v deep_a what_o that_o be_v i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o inquire_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o have_v be_v a_o very_a ill_a argument_n draw_v from_o it_o viz._n that_o a_o fleet_n be_v no_o security_n to_o we_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o peace_n be_v make_v his_o majesty_n discharge_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o foren_a force_n and_o a_o advertisement_n be_v publish_v in_o the_o gazet_n that_o ten_o regiment_n shall_v be_v forthwith_o disband_v and_o we_o be_v tell_v as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v do_v that_o more_o shall_v follow_v their_o example_n but_o these_o resolution_n it_o seem_v be_v alter_v and_o the_o modish_a language_n be_v that_o we_o must_v keep_v up_o a_o stand_a army_n their_o argument_n be_v turn_v topsy_n turuie_o for_o as_o during_o the_o war_n the_o people_n be_v prevail_v upon_o to_o keep_v up_o the_o army_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o peace_n so_o now_o we_o must_v keep_v they_o up_o for_o fear_n of_o a_o war._n the_o condition_n of_o france_n which_o they_o have_v be_v decry_v for_o many_o year_n be_v now_o magnify_v we_o be_v tell_v that_o it_o be_v doubtful_a whether_o the_o french_a king_n will_v deliver_v up_o any_o of_o his_o town_n that_o he_o be_v prepare_v a_o vast_a fleet_n upon_o the_o lord_n know_v what_o design_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v a_o militia_n useful_a that_o the_o warlike_a king_n jemmy_n have_v a_o army_n of_o eighteen_o thousand_o irish_a hero_n in_o france_n who_o will_v be_v ready_a when_o call_v for_o and_o that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v die_v the_o member_n of_o parliament_n be_v discourse_v

remove_v our_o fear_n of_o a_o stand_a army_n by_o send_v they_o threescore_o mile_n off_o from_o whence_o they_o may_v recall_v they_o upon_o a_o few_o day_n notice_n nay_o a_o army_n keep_v in_o ireland_n be_v more_o dangerous_a to_o we_o than_o at_o home_n for_o here_o by_o perpetual_a converse_n with_o their_o relation_n and_o acquaintance_n some_o few_o of_o they_o perhaps_o may_v warp_v towards_o their_o country_n whereas_o in_o ireland_n they_o be_v keep_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o garrison_n where_o they_o be_v shut_v up_o from_o the_o communication_n of_o their_o countryman_n and_o may_v be_v nurse_v up_o in_o another_o interest_n this_o be_v so_o true_a that_o it_o be_v a_o common_a policy_n among_o arbitrary_a prince_n often_o to_o shift_v their_o soldier_n quarter_n lest_o they_o shall_v contract_v friendship_n among_o the_o native_n and_o by_o degree_n fall_v into_o their_o interest_n it_o may_v be_v say_v perhaps_o that_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n will_v pay_v they_o which_o make_v the_o matter_n so_o much_o the_o worse_o for_o they_o be_v less_o likely_a to_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o their_o country_n beside_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o lord_n justice_n speech_n to_o that_o parliament_n wherein_o they_o be_v let_v know_v that_o his_o majesty_n expect_v that_o they_o will_v continue_v the_o subsistence_n to_o the_o disband_v officer_n and_o support_v the_o present_a establishment_n which_o by_o the_o way_n be_v near_o three_o time_n as_o great_a as_o charles_n the_o 2d_n and_o this_o without_o any_o other_o ceremony_n or_o qualification_n of_o time_n with_o which_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o express_v himself_o to_o his_o english_a and_o scotch_a parliament_n we_o may_v be_v convince_v that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o dispute_v this_o matter_n especial_o at_o a_o time_n when_o they_o apprehend_v hardship_n will_v be_v put_v upon_o they_o in_o relation_n to_o their_o trade_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o will_v gratify_v the_o court_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o power_n in_o hope_n if_o they_o can_v prevent_v the_o pass_a a_o law_n against_o they_o to_o obtain_v a_o connivance_n in_o the_o execution_n we_o may_v add_v by_o this_o mean_v they_o will_v keep_v their_o money_n in_o their_o own_o country_n a_o great_a part_n whereof_o come_v former_o to_o england_n and_o have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o return_v the_o compliment_n we_o design_v they_o last_o year_n if_o we_o do_v prevent_v it_o by_o disband_v the_o army_n there_o as_o strafford_n army_n in_o ireland_n be_v former_o in_o the_o 15_o of_o charles_n the_o first_o and_o late_o another_o in_o 78_o by_o our_o english_a parliament_n i_o can_v avoid_v take_v notice_n here_o how_o different_a the_o modish_a sentiment_n be_v in_o ireland_n and_o england_n for_o there_o the_o language_n be_v we_o must_v comply_v with_o the_o court_n in_o keep_v up_o the_o army_n or_o otherwise_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v go_v and_o here_o the_o man_n in_o fashion_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o army_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o ireland_n to_o destroy_v the_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o execute_v the_o law_n we_o make_v against_o they_o and_o in_o order_n to_o it_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n be_v to_o pay_v they_o this_o project_n of_o send_v man_n to_o ireland_n be_v so_o transparent_a that_o they_o dare_v not_o rely_v upon_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o as_o fast_o as_o money_n can_v be_v get_v they_o will_v disband_v more_o regiment_n the_o people_n be_v in_o great_a expectation_n when_o it_o will_v be_v do_v and_o several_a time_n it_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o in_o parliament_n and_o the_o courtier_n always_o assure_v they_o that_o nothing_o hinder_v it_o but_o the_o want_n of_o money_n to_o pay_v they_o off_o it_o be_v confident_o say_v in_o all_o public_a place_n that_o eighteen_o regiment_n more_o will_v be_v disband_v and_o the_o regiment_n be_v name_v and_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o with_o great_a assurance_n affirm_v by_o the_o agent_n and_o officer_n themselves_o that_o the_o king_n have_v sign_v it_o in_o council_n thus_o the_o session_n be_v wear_v out_o till_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o tire_v with_o expectation_n address_v his_o majesty_n that_o be_v will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v order_n that_o a_o listen_v be_v lay_v before_o the_o house_n of_o the_o army_n disband_v and_o intend_v to_o be_v disband_v and_o of_o the_o officer_n name_n who_o be_v to_o have_v half_o pay_v and_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o answer_v that_o he_o will_v comply_v with_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o house_n as_o soon_o as_o convenient_o be_v covid_v but_o the_o parliament_n sit_v not_o above_o a_o month_n afterward_o his_o majesty_n send_v they_o no_o far_o answer_v at_o last_o the_o parliament_n rise_v and_o instead_o of_o disband_v they_o bring_v over_o a_o great_a many_o foreign_a regiment_n and_o send_v they_o to_o ireland_n as_o well_o as_o three_o more_o english_a once_o but_o even_o all_o this_o will_v not_o bring_v their_o army_n in_o england_n down_o to_o ten_o thousand_o man_n so_o that_o they_o make_v another_o reform_v and_o since_o have_v incorporate_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o disband_v regiment_n in_o ireland_n into_o the_o stand_a troop_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o have_v not_o a_o army_n of_o officer_n whereas_o if_o these_o gentleman_n design_v their_o army_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o a_o sudden_a invasion_n or_o to_o be_v in_o readiness_n against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n death_n in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n they_o shall_v have_v keep_v up_o the_o private_a soldier_n and_o disband_v all_o the_o officer_n but_o such_o as_o be_v just_o necessary_a to_o exercise_v they_o for_o officer_n will_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o accept_v good_a employment_n whereas_o the_o private_a soldier_n will_v be_v very_o difficult_o list_v again_o in_o a_o new_a war_n though_o we_o all_o know_v they_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v get_v together_o when_o they_o be_v only_o to_o insult_v their_o countryman_n one_o good_a effect_n of_o this_o army_n have_v already_o appear_v for_o i_o presume_v every_o body_n have_v hear_v how_o prevail_v a_o argument_n it_o be_v in_o the_o late_a election_n that_o if_o we_o choose_v such_o a_o man_n we_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o quarter_n and_o i_o wish_v this_o argument_n do_v not_o every_o day_n grow_v strong_a nay_o who_o know_v but_o in_o another_o reign_n the_o corporation_n may_v be_v tell_v that_o his_o majesty_n expect_v they_o will_v choose_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n and_o the_o parliament_n be_v tell_v that_o he_o expect_v they_o will_v maintain_v they_o but_o to_o set_v this_o matter_n in_o a_o full_a view_n i_o will_v here_o put_v down_o the_o establishment_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o in_o 88_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o 11_o of_o december_n as_o also_o his_o present_a majesty_n and_o in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o my_o other_o computation_n i_o do_v not_o pretend_v but_o i_o may_v be_v mistake_v in_o many_o particular_n though_o i_o have_v take_v what_o care_n i_o can_v not_o to_o be_v so_o nor_o be_v it_o material_a to_o my_o purpose_n so_o the_o variation_n from_o truth_n be_v not_o considerable_a i_o shall_v also_o set_v down_o king_n william_n establishment_n as_o the_o regiment_n be_v before_o the_o reform_v because_o all_o the_o officer_n still_o remain_v and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o private_a soldier_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v in_o effect_n full_a regiment_n the_o rest_n be_v to_o be_v raise_v again_o in_o a_o few_o day_n if_o they_o be_v design_v for_o home_n service_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o hard_a to_o be_v
