of_o they_o that_o seem_v the_o most_o justifiable_a of_o his_o proceed_n be_v calculate_v only_o to_o serve_v the_o malicious_a and_o disaffect_v part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o to_o wheedle_n and_o

my_o main_a position_n i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o show_v what_o peculiar_a advantage_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o confederate_n propose_v to_o themselves_o by_o such_o a_o revolution_n in_o england_n which_o may_v induce_v all_o impartial_a reader_n to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o have_v hitherto_o say_v the_o principal_a advantage_n the_o confederate_n in_o general_n exclusive_a of_o the_o p._n of_o orange_n propose_v to_o themselves_o by_o this_o revolution_n be_v to_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o great_a britain_n one_o of_o the_o strong_a and_o most_o flourish_a monarchy_n in_o europe_n at_o their_o entire_a devotion_n to_o draw_v off_o man_n and_o money_n at_o their_o pleasure_n so_o long_o as_o they_o can_v keep_v this_o new_a set-up_a king_n in_o the_o

can_v possible_o devise_v and_o withal_o the_o most_o powerful_a effort_n imaginable_a towards_o the_o reduce_v the_o grow_a power_n of_o france_n and_o retrieve_v their_o former_a loss_n and_o however_o the_o infatuate_v and_o easy_o delude_v populace_n of_o england_n may_v seem_v to_o despise_v the_o confederate_n in_o their_o discourse_n yet_o it_o be_v evident_a enough_o that_o so_o long_o as_o this_o confederacy_n hold_v and_o no_o long_o shall_v they_o keep_v their_o new_a king_n it_o be_v sufficient_o apparent_a to_o any_o one_o of_o common_a sense_n that_o if_o the_o whole_a and_o entire_a confederacy_n have_v have_v hitherto_o enough_o to_o do_v to_o oppose_v france_n even_o in_o the_o low_a degree_n it_o be_v more_o than_o demonstration_n that_o she_o alone_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o least_o for_o i_o must_v take_v it_o as_o grant_v that_o if_o england_n break_v from_o the_o confederacy_n the_o confederate_n must_v of_o necessity_n knock_v quite_o off_o and_o make_v their_o best_a term_n at_o any_o rate_n and_o consequent_o unite_v with_o france_n against_o england_n which_o we_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o king_n will_v oblige_v they_o to_o in_o order_n to_o the_o complete_n that_o most_o glorious_a resolution_n which_o he_o have_v so_o often_o make_v and_o will_v eternize_v his_o memory_n of_o the_o restore_a that_o unfortunate_a prince_n and_o martyr_n for_o his_o sake_n the_o true_a and_o lawful_a king_n of_o england_n this_o supposition_n i_o hope_v will_v without_o much_o difficulty_n be_v grant_v i_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a loss_n of_o the_o confederate_n on_o all_o side_n their_o apparent_a poverty_n and_o inability_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n at_o their_o sole_a charge_n that_o england_n be_v their_o principal_a support_n and_o have_v be_v all_o this_o war_n that_o without_o the_o continuation_n of_o assistance_n from_o hence_o they_o must_v break_v and_o england_n compel_v to_o submit_v to_o her_o lawful_a and_o most_o injure_v sovereign_a again_o which_o all_o these_o ally_n know_v they_o will_v not_o be_v easy_o or_o sudden_o incline_v to_o from_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o horrid_a

their_o pleasure_n another_o advantage_n the_o confederate_n propose_v to_o reap_v by_o the_o late_a revolution_n here_o and_o by_o engage_v these_o nation_n into_o the_o confederacy_n be_v this_o
