not_o give_v this_o lord_n time_n to_o reduce_v thing_n in_o such_o a_o posture_n as_o may_v be_v wish_v and_o make_v a_o query_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o most_o unsafe_a as_o well_o as_o

whether_o they_o have_v not_o all_o tend_v to_o the_o diminish_v the_o french_a interest_n since_o his_o time_n and_o if_o it_o have_v diminish_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v who_o else_o there_o be_v beside_o himself_o near_o his_o majesty_n who_o have_v power_n and_o inclination_n to_o do_v it_o etc._n etc._n the_o issue_n then_o to_o be_v join_v be_v upon_o the_o question_n beg_v

that_o this_o match_n alter_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n and_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n that_o from_o be_v the_o great_a asserter_n of_o the_o french_a interest_n they_o become_v as_o forward_o as_o any_o for_o the_o war_n of_o france_n and_o this_o conversion_n it_o seem_v assist_v by_o the_o power_n and_o inclination_n of_o this_o lord_n bring_v on_o the_o actual_a war_n with_o france_n for_o which_o the_o parliament_n give_v their_o money_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v it_o own_a that_o all_o be_v french_a but_o this_o lord_n and_o people_n not_o so_o mistake_v it_o seem_v that_o have_v be_v constant_o jealous_a of_o it_o but_o whether_o the_o duke_n of_o york_n and_o monmouth_n have_v reason_n to_o thank_v he_o for_o declare_v their_o conversion_n i_o know_v not_o since_o he_o condemn_v they_o for_o a_o error_n which_o we_o find_v ill_a effect_n of_o but_o none_o on_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o conversion_n and_o then_o he_o say_v the_o king_n have_v good_a

what_o he_o pretend_v to_o know_v of_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o french_a charge_n vid._n his_o speech_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n at_o his_o charge_n that_o they_o have_v the_o king_n person_n and_o government_n in_o the_o last_o degree_n of_o contempt_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o that_o lord_n shrink_v when_o he_o speak_v those_o word_n in_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n but_o next_o the_o own_n of_o such_o a_o opinion_n of_o the_o king_n it_o be_v a_o audacious_a crime_n to_o own_o a_o belief_n that_o any_o can_v retain_v such_o a_o judgement_n of_o he_o i_o hope_v this_o lord_n be_v the_o only_a person_n that_o think_v it_o either_o probable_a or_o possible_a but_o leave_v this_o point_n with_o blush_n to_o have_v repeat_v such_o a_o thing_n i_o will_v set_v down_o some_o general_a observation_n of_o public_a affair_n which_o will_v best_o show_v whether_o the_o diminution_n or_o increase_n of_o the_o french_a interest_n be_v likely_a to_o be_v intend_v or_o effect_v in_o his_o time_n in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o lay_v a_o foundation_n to_o build_v upon_o i_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o grant_v that_o the_o parliament_n do_v ever_o appear_v warm_o averse_a to_o that_o interest_n and_o of_o consequence_n must_v give_v the_o great_a apprehension_n to_o the_o french_a that_o from_o they_o may_v proceed_v the_o only_a fatal_a opposition_n and_o which_o be_v not_o probable_o to_o be_v divert_v either_o by_o skill_n or_o money_n in_o march_v 76_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n present_v a_o address_n most_o humble_o offer_v to_o his_o majesty_n consideration_n that_o the_o mind_n of_o his_o people_n be_v disquiet_v with_o the_o manifest_a danger_n arise_v by_o the_o growth_n and_o power_n of_o the_o french_a king_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o humble_o present_v their_o desire_n that_o his_o majesty_n will_v strengthen_v himself_o with_o strict_a alliance_n to_o quiet_a the_o mind_n of_o his_o people_n and_o preserve_v the_o netherlands_o the_o king_n answer_v agree_v that_o the_o preservation_n of_o flanders_n be_v of_o great_a consequence_n but_o it_o seem_v not_o be_v think_v particular_a enough_o it_o beget_v a_o second_o address_n on_o march_n the_o 26_o wherein_o they_o again_o more_o strict_o press_v the_o king_n to_o enter_v into_o such_o alliance_n as_o may_v obtain_v those_o ends._n and_o in_o case_n that_o in_o pursuance_n of_o such_o alliance_n his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v engage_v in_o a_o war_n with_o the_o french_a king_n they_o promise_v cheerful_o upon_o notice_n of_o it_o in_o parliament_n so_o to_o supply_v the_o king_n as_o that_o he_o may_v prosecute_v the_o same_o with_o success_n and_o in_o their_o address_n of_o the_o 29_o of_o jan._n 77_o they_o humble_o desire_v no_o treaty_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v put_v the_o french_a king_n in_o no_o better_a a_o estate_n than_o he_o be_v after_o the_o pyrenean_n treaty_n this_o sufficient_o show_v the_o temper_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o their_o judgement_n that_o war_n itself_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n than_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o french_a power_n but_o this_o beget_v great_a
