this_o appear_v by_o what_o i_o have_v hint_v in_o the_o three_o section_n viz._n that_o their_o king_n have_v bring_v the_o young_a brother_n of_o his_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n which_o be_v a_o

he_o must_v maintain_v they_o or_o they_o mutiny_v and_o turn_v popular_a and_o the_o common_a people_n be_v easy_o to_o be_v agitate_a with_o the_o hope_n of_o ease_v their_o most_o intolerable_a burden_n for_o whoever_o among_o the_o bourgeois_n the_o tradesman_n or_o the_o peasant_n do_v get_v either_o land_n or_o penny_n their_o king_n as_o oft_o as_o he_o please_v demand_v three_o part_n

these_o thing_n i_o say_v may_v ready_o dispose_v they_o to_o close_v with_o mal-content_a trader_n in_o war_n who_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o drive_v that_o trade_n of_o war_n at_o home_n if_o they_o have_v it_o not_o abroad_o this_o alone_a be_v evidence_n enough_o to_o show_v he_o must_v needs_o avoid_v a_o peace_n though_o he_o may_v seem_v willing_a to_o treat_v about_o it_o and_o pretend_v

of_o his_o master_n now_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o it_o be_v time_n for_o we_o to_o proceed_v with_o our_o other_o argument_n for_o war_n on_o our_o behalf_n and_o foreign_a neighbour_n one_o of_o which_o i_o have_v already_o give_v you_o ii_o a_o second_o reason_n or_o argument_n for_o we_o and_o they_o to_o war_n against_o france_n be_v that_o as_o the_o french_a minister_n can_v admit_v

be_v render_v hopeless_a iii_o they_o have_v hitherto_o frustrate_v the_o gracious_a intent_n offerture_n and_o endeavour_n of_o his_o majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n to_o procure_v a_o peace_n by_o
