they_o can_v dilate_v their_o empire_n at_o their_o pleasure_n as_o we_o see_v it_o now_o to_o our_o sorrow_n it_o be_v true_a of_o late_a time_n the_o lovesteiner_n to_o free_v themselves_o from_o

the_o inferior_a they_o be_v so_o situate_v in_o the_o water_n and_o thereby_o so_o inaccessible_a that_o we_o need_v not_o fear_n what_o all_o the_o force_n of_o france_n can_v do_v if_o we_o be_v

the_o merchant_n have_v stand_v out_o there_o be_v compute_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o war_n at_o sixteen_o million_o and_o can_v we_o think_v the_o king_n will_v easy_o forgo_v his_o custom_n

but_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o greatness_n of_o france_n and_o can_v be_v so_o senseless_a but_o they_o must_v needs_o think_v that_o it_o be_v their_o concernment_n that_o he_o grow_v not_o so_o

therefore_o can_v think_v now_o that_o spain_n decline_v but_o that_o the_o empire_n and_o england_n be_v high_o concern_v to_o support_v they_o and_o shall_v we_o think_v then_o that_o in_o stead_n of_o this_o either_o shall_v help_v forward_o their_o downfall_n for_o my_o part_n be_v there_o no_o other_o reason_n of_o state_n but_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o fear_v england_n break_v with_o
