first_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o decline_v their_o claim_n in_o point_n of_o satisfaction_n allege_v 1_o that_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o equity_n contain_v in_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n and_o sound_v natural_a reason_n that_o wrong_n ought_v to_o be_v repair_v 2_o that_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o war_n ought_v to_o be_v bear_v by_o the_o

other_o particular_a namely_o matter_n of_o security_n here_o likewise_o the_o council_n give_v their_o reason_n wherefore_o they_o desire_v it_o 1_o because_o it_o will_v be_v no_o way_n for_o their_o safety_n &_o good_a to_o end_v the_o present_a difference_n by_o a_o peace_n if_o nothing_o be_v do_v to_o secure_v it_o 2_o because_o we_o break_v first_o with_o they_o or_o rather_o fall_v upon_o they_o whilst_o the_o amity_n between_o we_o and_o they_o continue_v yea_o whilst_o our_o ambassador_n be_v treat_v with_o they_o of_o a_o strict_a league_n and_o union_n and_o have_v no_o thought_n of_o engage_v we_o another_o reason_n why_o they_o desire_v security_n be_v because_o former_o we_o have_v make_v it_o our_o interest_n to_o differ_v with_o they_o and_o several_a time_n take_v advantage_n thereby_o both_o at_o home_n and_o in_o foreign_a part_n to_o their_o loss_n and_o prejudice_n many_o way_n very_o much_o these_o and_o such_o like_a be_v the_o reason_n which_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n give_v our_o messenger_n why_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a neither_o can_v according_a to_o the_o trust_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n commit_v to_o they_o wave_v their_o claim_n either_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o satisfaction_n or_o security_n our_o agent_n perceive_v that_o the_o state_n of_o england_n stand_v so_o fast_o and_o fix_v and_o will_v not_o decline_v the_o particular_n desire_v then_o to_o know_v what_o security_n they_o will_v have_v of_o they_o as_o in_o what_o way_n and_o how_o to_o be_v give_v to_o this_o their_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o know_v not_o for_o their_o part_n any_o better_a way_n or_o course_n in_o order_n to_o a_o last_a and_o profitable_a peace_n for_o the_o good_a and_o safety_n of_o both_o nation_n then_o by_o a_o coalition_n that_o be_v the_o two_o state_n to_o become_v one_o entire_a republic_n and_o if_o this_o will_v be_v accept_v by_o the_o netherlander_n we_o shall_v soon_o see_v how_o real_a and_o sincere_a they_o be_v for_o peace_n and_o amity_n and_o how_o much_o they_o intend_v and_o seek_v the_o welfare_n and_o prosperity_n of_o our_o nation_n as_o no_o less_o every_o way_n then_o their_o own_o moreover_o that_o it_o shall_v appear_v if_o this_o proffer_n will_v be_v accept_v they_o mind_v our_o happiness_n and_o good_a indeed_o in_o not_o stand_v upon_o the_o quantum_fw-la of_o satisfaction_n but_o will_v use_v so_o much_o reason_n and_o moderation_n as_o ourselves_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o it_o and_o be_v no_o way_n loser_n but_o gainer_n rather_o by_o it_o and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o startle_v or_o take_v offence_n in_o their_o propound_v this_o way_n for_o peace_n by_o a_o coalition_n or_o make_v the_o two_o republic_n one_o sole_a and_o entire_a commonwealth_n they_o make_v it_o to_o appear_v most_o plain_o to_o our_o messenger_n that_o the_o gain_n and_o advantage_n follow_v this_o conjunction_n will_v not_o be_v they_o but_o we_o abundant_o and_o that_o in_o many_o respect_n and_o consideration_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o and_o therefore_o i_o most_o earnest_o wish_v and_o desire_n that_o my_o countryman_n every_o

may_v not_o repent_v when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o but_o know_v the_o thing_n which_o belong_v unto_o our_o peace_n in_o this_o our_o day_n there_o be_v five_o thing_n which_o i_o desire_v by_o you_o may_v be_v communicate_v to_o all_o my_o countryman_n every_o where_n first_o how_o much_o it_o will_v be_v for_o our_o good_a if_o england_n and_o the_o netherlands_o be_v unite_v and_o make_v one_o
