england_n i_o see_v it_o upon_o several_a post_n in_o paris_n a_o severe_a prohibition_n so_o much_o as_o to_o mention_v such_o a_o war_n but_o if_o they_o can_v drive_v it_o off_o with_o these_o report_n by_o disunit_a the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n they_o be_v lucky_a people_n and_o safe_a enough_o and_o if_o they_o can_v make_v a_o peace_n under_o hand_n though_o they_o give_v as_o much_o money_n for_o it_o as_o will_v almost_o maintain_v the_o war_n yet_o they_o have_v their_o aim_n well_o say_v the_o captain_n i_o doubt_v nothing_o i_o be_o assure_v from_o a_o good_a hand_n that_o before_o i_o get_v to_o london_n some_o resolution_n will_v be_v take_v i_o tell_v you_o some_o story_n of_o the_o french_a but_o i_o have_v more_o of_o their_o prank_n to_o acquaint_v the_o people_n with_o honest_a captain_n and_o fellow_n traveller_n say_v i_o god_n send_v you_o good_a luck_n i_o dare_v say_v you_o will_v bestow_v your_o skill_n upon_o the_o french_a with_o a_o good_a will_n but_o cousin_n say_v i_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o matter_n sir_n reply_v he_o they_o be_v wise_a that_o can_v tell_v you_o and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v little_a curiosity_n and_o less_o acquaintance_n with_o state_n affair_n but_o some_o people_n i_o find_v be_v displease_v but_o prithee_o what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o let_v we_o drink_v and_o be_v merry_a and_o let_v the_o world_n go_v which_o way_n it_o will_v by_o your_o favour_n sir_n say_v the_o captain_n there_o be_v some_o people_n that_o be_v displease_v because_o they_o resolve_v before_o hand_n to_o be_v so_o with_o every_o thing_n but_o i_o presume_v that_o you_o and_o every_o englishman_n be_v so_o far_o concern_v that_o if_o you_o do_v not_o look_v about_o you_o the_o french_a will_v ever_o long_o spoil_v both_o your_o mirth_n and_o drink_v what_o mean_v you_o answer_v the_o other_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o spoil_v our_o drink_v by_o cut_v our_o throat_n as_o they_o say_v the_o dane_n do_v which_o bring_v in_o the_o custom_n of_o pledge_v or_o be_v pledge_v when_o one_o drink_v sir_n say_v the_o captain_n you_o may_v live_v and_o drink_v and_o be_v merry_a in_o that_o hope_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o trust_v they_o i_o have_v rather_o cut_v some_o of_o they_o fair_o for_o i_o hate_v to_o have_v my_o weasand_n slit_v unless_o it_o be_v in_o the_o field_n well_o honest_a brave_a captain_n say_v i_o your_o ill_a usage_n make_v you_o in_o a_o rage_n against_o the_o french_a and_o you_o think_v the_o quarrel_n move_v too_o slow_a but_o sir_n you_o must_v consider_v this_o be_v a_o affair_n of_o great_a weight_n and_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o make_v more_o haste_n than_o speed_n sir_n say_v he_o the_o great_a weight_n shall_v make_v the_o motion_n more_o quick_a you_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o understand_v the_o worth_n of_o time_n nor_o the_o brisk_a humour_n of_o the_o french_a and_o therefore_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v to_o you_o but_o i_o hope_v other_o people_n do_v and_o will_v consider_v it_o come_v come_v say_v my_o cousin_n what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o these_o matter_n it_o be_v never_o well_o since_o there_o be_v so_o many_o little_a statesman_n and_o polit_fw-la politician_n i_o believe_v most_o people_n be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o war_n to_o reduce_v the_o world_n to_o the_o old_a balance_n and_o france_z among_o the_o rest_n that_o so_o she_o may_v be_v easy_a to_o her_o neighbour_n and_o they_o safe_a from_o she_o and_o what_o will_v any_o body_n desire_v more_o it_o be_v true_a there_o have_v be_v some_o jealousy_n which_o have_v clog_v the_o wheel_n of_o this_o great_a affair_n but_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o when_o i_o come_v out_o of_o town_n it_o be_v general_o hope_v that_o a_o little_a time_n will_v bring_v all_o people_n to_o a_o good_a understanding_n council_n to_o unity_n and_o the_o affair_n to_o a_o happy_a period_n sir_n say_v the_o captain_n this_o be_v a_o word_n of_o comfort_n for_o i_o dare_v assure_v you_o that_o the_o great_a hope_n of_o france_n be_v ground_v upon_o our_o division_n which_o they_o be_v not_o so_o ill_a husband_n but_o they_o know_v how_o to_o improve_v i_o hear_v one_o of_o they_o the_o other_o day_n say_v that_o he_o think_v that_o of_o the_o great_a turk_n solyman_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o english_a who_o will_v be_v of_o one_o mind_n as_o he_o say_v the_o christian_a prince_n will_v when_o all_o the_o finger_n of_o his_o hand_n be_v unite_v into_o one_o come_v captain_n say_v i_o unity_n secrecy_n and_o expedition_n add_v to_o our_o courage_n and_o power_n may_v do_v much_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o necessity_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v upon_o we_o will_v make_v they_o all_o meet_v the_o cause_n be_v good_a for_o it_o be_v not_o for_o sovereignty_n but_o for_o safety_n not_o for_o glory_n but_o security_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o protestant_a religion_n our_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n from_o the_o rapine_n and_o ambition_n of_o the_o french_a and_o he_o be_v no_o true_a englishman_n who_o will_v not_o hearty_o venture_v his_o life_n and_o fortune_n in_o such_o a_o lawful_a war._n upon_o which_o supper_n come_v in_o and_o we_o have_v talk_v ourselves_o into_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o eat_v we_o gratify_v our_o palate_n as_o well_o as_o the_o place_n will_v afford_v and_o not_o long_o after_o every_o one_o retire_v to_o his_o apartment_n where_o i_o believe_v the_o captain_n dream_v of_o drum_n and_o trumpet_n and_o cannon_n and_o granado_n storm_n and_o battle_n for_o he_o make_v a_o horrible_a noise_n in_o his_o sleep_n lie_v in_o the_o next_o room_n to_o i_o for_o my_o part_n like_o a_o person_n not_o much_o concern_v i_o sleep_v as_o hearty_o as_o the_o soldier_n will_v permit_v i_o who_o give_v i_o several_a alarm_n and_o i_o can_v no_o more_o tell_v what_o i_o dream_v than_o i_o can_v tell_v certain_o what_o all_o man_n long_o so_o much_o to_o know_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o war_n with_o france_n or_o such_o a_o peace_n as_o shall_v be_v safe_a and_o honourable_a for_o england_n and_o all_o christendom_n finis_fw-la
