the greatest care of those that have advised the King to this League have been to keep from the view and from the knowledge of the World what Articles are agreed upon it is not to be expected we should instance in the particular Breaches of what we are all Strangers to For Example we cannot tell whether it was agreed the French Squadron should fight and so dare not assure they have broken their Treaty by not fighting But I suppose there are very few but have heard of the Wager laid by the Spanish Embassador in the beginning of the War and how far the French Conduct agreed with his Predictions I would not neither impeach any man upon general Reports and Rumors but however it is observable that the greatest number of the Dutch Commanders are of Opinion and have often publickly declared that the French Ships were thus kind-used by theirs out of particular respect De Witts Brother had to them If from the Sea we come ashore we 'l find as far at least as they came to our knowledge most of their promises deceitful all the Art imaginable used to ensnare his Majesty And lastly a perfect and reiterated Breach of tho essence of their Treaty whatever the words may be all those that have been never so little conversant at Court may remembred that one of the great Arguments used and suggested by the French to make the conquest of Holland appear both safe and easie was that his most Christian Majesty had assurances from all the great Princes in Europe they would no ways concern themselves in the Quarrel Spain would be glad to see their old Rebels Chastised The Emperour had his hands full and durst not stir if he would for fear of the Turks Brandenburg should demand his Towns and the Northern Crowns would either sit still or endeavour to have a share in the spoyl And then this was so readily embraced that even after the Exchange of the Ratifications of the Treaty betwixt Spain and the Vnited Provinces they would not own there was so much as any agreement And for a good while we flattered our selves that the Leagues with the Catholick King and other Princes were surmises of the Dutch to raise their Reputation and quiet the minds of their People But when this was past denying they came off with slighting Discourses of the Forces of the Dutch Allies and Monsieur de Turenne would cut them all to pieces if ever their Temerity did brings within his reach At the Rate the Alliance with France was discoursed of before the War broke out-standers by could not but think and I believe if Truth were enquired into it will be found his Majesty intended no more at first and was engaged no farther the French should be the Principal in this War and England joyn their Forces with them as Auxiliaries to have in case of need a safe and honourable Retreat in their Power But as soon as the French thought his Majestie could not well go back nor take new Counsels they openly declared it was none of their Quarrel and that they onely engaged in it to assist his Majesty out of respect to his person By which means his Majesty was perswaded and induced to declare War first and to expect afterwards the assistance of the French I suppose his Majesty will not thank them neither forgiving out in all Roman Catholick Princes Courts That this is a War of Religion undertaken meerly for the propegation of the Catholick Faith and as the French Minister at Vienna expressed it in a solemn Speech to the Emperors Counsel which hath been since Printed in French that the Hollanders being Heriticks who had forsaken their God all good Christians are bound to joyn and unite to extirpate them and to implore Gods blessing upon so good a work Nay to confirm this the more they have lately declared and assured many Princes that to let Europe see how far they are from any such design as have been laid to their Charge and to satisfie all the World they entred into this War out of a Religious Zeal and for the Glory of God they are ready to part with all their Conquests and return to the Hollanders all the Towns they have taken from them if they will but re-establish the true Worship they have banished from their Territories How far now this may be agreeable to his Majesties Interest or to the XXXIX Articles let any unprejudiced man judge But an undeniable proof of the uprightness of the French Court is their carriage in the Negotiations of Peace with the States In short the matter of Fact is thus The passage of the Erench Army over that Branch of the Rhyne called the Waal having caused a general consternation all over the Country and the confusion they were in being such that they could hardly resolve whether to yield or defend themselves The States on the 11th of June named several Deputies to be sent some to his Majesty and the rest to the French King to know of them both upon what terms they would be willing to agree and come to a Peace Those that came to his Majesty were met upon the way as far as Graves End to forbid them the Court and were conveyed to Hampton Court there to continue in an honourable confinement till we could hear from the most Christian King and know of him whether the said Deputies might be admitted his Majesty being unwilling to give the lest offence to the French And not thinking it either lawful or convenient without their participation so much as to hear what the Dutch Deputies Errand was But the other Deputies came no sooner to the French Court but two Secretaries of State were sent to them and without further delay desired to know first if they had full Power to Treat and in the next place what the States could propose in order to a speedy Peace The Deputies answered they were only sent to know his most Christian Majesties Pleasure and that their Masters had thought it a greater respect to him to receive his Proposals then to offer any Conditions themselves with this answer the French Ministers went to their Masters and came back immediately to the Deputies to let them know it was expected the States should make the Proposals and that the most Christian King could not enter upon any Treaty unless they had full Power Telling them withal to quicken them and to hasten the conclusion of the work that they were to consider That whatever his most Christian Majesty had Conquered was already his own and therefore he could no ways part with it unless they gave him an Equivalent as well for what he might Conquer farther before the Conclusion of the Treaty as for what he possessed at that time Wherupon Monsieur de Groot one of the Deputies being gone to the Hague he was sent back with all speed and Authorised in a very ample manner together with his Collegues to treat and conclude a Peace with

the French Upon the return of the said De Groot with the Powers after some conferences part of them with De Groot alone Monsieur de Louvoy one of the Secretaries of State gave the Dutch Deputies a project of a Treaty or rather the pretentions of the King his Master Upon the granting of which he was both willing and ready to return to his former Amity with the States and conclude a firm Peace with them Whereupon two things are to be observed The one that the Conditions were such that if granted would have made the French King as perfectly Master of the Country as if he had conquered all by the Sword and the other that in all the Articles which are still in being and may be produced if need be there was not the least word relating to England and no more notice taken of his Majesty or greater care of his interest then if he had not been concerned in the War or in no League with the French So that if by a wonderful providence of God the said Treaty had not been unexpectedly broken off Europe had in one day lost it's Liberty And all we could have expected afterwards had been the favour Polyphemus shewed to his Guests And to demonstrate further that the intention of the French Court was not his Majesty should be a gainer by the War Monsieur de Groot whose word if he be not very much wronged ought to go a great way when he speaks of the French declared at his second coming to the Hague with the before mentioned Articles that the French Ministers had answered him the States his Masters might deal as they pleased with England and come off as cheap as they would because as they pretended they were not bound or engaged by their Treaty to procure them any advantages A happy thing in the mean while to be engaged in such a War with so Generous an Allie While this negotiation was on foot and before the Treaty could be Concluded the Prince of Orange was miraculously restored to the dignity and Authority of his Ancestors which having altogether Eclipsed the party that was inclined to treat with France upon almost any Terms and the rest of the Country being all under Water the French lost at once both their hopes of carrying the whole matter by a Treaty and the opportunity of making a further Progress by their Armes At the same time My Lord Duke of Buckingham and my Lord Arlington went into Holland And the French who knew already they could neither bring the Dutch to a compliance nor Swim over to the remaining Townes And with all being full of Apprehensions and fear that by the Authority of the Prince of Orange and through the interest he was like to have in his Majesty chiefly if their practices and honest dealings came to be discovered a Seperate peace might be made between England and the Vnited Provinces they Acted their part so succesfully with our Plenipotentiaries that they perswaded them to enter in his Majesties name into a new engagement not to treat or conclude with the Dutch any Peace or Truce without them For as to their promising the like it was a perfect mockery on their part since they had already done their utmost to Treat without England and that after they had miscarried in the attempt nothing could secure them but his Majesties refusing to accept of what conditions the Dutch would be willing to grant Him After this new Contract made our Plenipotentiaries together with the French Ministers sent their joynt demands and proposalls to the Dutch to be granted in Ten days or else no Peace to be made which was the next Master-peece of the French for it is to be observed first that the French Demands were in substance the same as they had made at first in their negotiation with Monsieur de Groot And since they were so unjust and so Enormious that the best friends they had then amongst the States could hardly swallow them themselves much less to bring the generality to give their censent without some Modification It was not to be expected that the Government being since the late Change much more avers to the French then before the same proposalls again should be better entertained which was rendred the more improbable by the addition of the English demands Secondly The French by the excessive height of their demands seemed to have encouraged if not perswaded by some more effectual means the said Plenepotentiaries not to come much short of them which was attended with Two Fatal consequences the one that the War was certainly by it entayled upon his Majesty And the other that it was a means to alienate the minds and affections of the Dutch who were then inclined to give those advantages to England which cannot rationally be expected hereafter Thirdly Though the respective claimes of the Two Kings had been singly tolerable yet the joyning of them together made it impossible for the Dutch to grant either From whence the French and very rationally conceived hopes that the Dutch finding themselves over ballanced by the joynt power of their Enemies and seeing no way to come out of so destructive a War and to have peace and not a firm nor a durable one neither without dividing their Country into a hundred pieces and cutting of all their Sinews had rather cast themselves into the Arms of their Conqueror and laying aside all thoughts of Soveraignty live in an entire Body under the French Domination At least it were some comfort if the French Court had but kept to this last agreement which in so many respects was advantageous to them But that they have not done neither And as soon as they saw most Princes in Europe begin to be in Earnest and that great succours were preparing for the Assistance of the Dutch besides what forces were already in the Field They underhand made new overtures of Peace and have still to this day been sending private Messages to the Dutch wherein they take no greater care of England than they had done at Vtrecht And if the Dutch had not persisted in their refusal to Treat without their Allies the French had long since concluded without theirs and that upon very moderate Terms as to the Dutch I suppose this will seem very strange and will hardly be credited but since as long as I am under this disguise I cannot justifie it as fully as otherwise I might do it All I can say at present is there are those in the Kingdom that know the truth of it as well as my self and I hope the world will not be long without a full discovery of it And thus I end the first part of this discourse which hath swelled unawares into a greater bulk then I intended at first though the matter would bear a great deal more without being exhausted II. Let us now come to the Second Head and examine what the issue of this War may prove and what may

himself part of it and had accordingly done it in case the Dutch would have advanced the rest All this doth abundantly shew what opinion his Majesty and his Council were used to have of France as well as both Houses and the rest of the Nation And therefore without considering how things came to be altered which we may take hereafter some notice of we may lay down as an Undeniable English Pri ciple and a Maxim never to be swerved from That France is no waies to be suffered to grow great much less to have their designes promoted as it is plain to all man kind they are now But we must go somewhat further and there being nothing more dangerous then to joyn in any ambitious design with a Prince against whom we can no waies secure our selves in case he break his word to us it will not be amiss to consider how far one may rely upon the Candor and in egrity of the French Court and what may rationally be expected from their generosity In Order to this since the heart of man is not known otherwise then by a careful observation of their Act on s and that we cannot iudge of things to come but by Inferances and Arguments drawn from those that are past the best way to satisfy our selves is to take a short survey of the carriage and conduct of the French Court for these last 13. Years during which they have had still the same Ministers who are not like to Act henceforth upon any other Principles or by other Methods then they have done hitherto and they having been brought up in so good a School as that of Cardinal Mazarine whose motto was that an honest man ought not to be a slave to his word it must not be wondered at if they do still as much as they are able influence their present Master and endeavour to perswade him that Si Violandum est jus Reguendi causa Violandum est The first proof of the honesty both of the Cardinal himself and of his Disciples is their Carriage in the Pireneam Treaty their performance of what was most Essential in it wherein is to be observed that By the endeavours of the Queen Mother of France a peace being promoted between the two Crowns with a Marriage between the French King and the Infanta of Spain the whole Treaty was grounded upon two considerable points which till granted by France had still hindred the conclusion of that great work the one was the forsaking of Portugal and the other a renunciation of the Infanta consented to and ratified by the French King of all her present and future Pretences Titles or Claimes whatsoever to the Spanish Monarchy and Dominions thereof or to any part of the same Lest saith the Treaty The Glory of their respective Kingdoms should come to decay and be diminished if by reason and through the said Marriage they came to be united and joyned in any of their Children and Posterity which would occasion to the Subjects and Vassals such troubles and afflictions as might easily be imagined As to the first viz. the exclusion and forsaking of Portugal The words of the Treaty are these His said Majesty the French King will indermedle no further in the said Business and doth promise and obliege himself upon his honor and upon the faith and word of a King both for himself and his successors not to give neither in common nor to any Person or Persons thereof in Particular of what Dignity Estate or Condition soever either at present or for the future any help or assistance neither publick nor secret directly nor indirectly of men Arms Munitions Victualling Vessells nor money under any pretence nor any other thing whatsoever by Land or by Sea nor in any other manner as likewise not to suffer any Levies to be made in any part of his Kingdoms and Dominions nor to grant a passage to any that might come from other Countries to the Relief of the said Kingdom of Portugal I suppose all the World will grant it were hard for the wit of man to find out or so much as imagine stronger words or fuller expressions in a Treaty to prevent what the Spaniards were so much afraid of viz. the Assistance of Portugal Let us now see how it was performed As soon as this was agreed on and before the Treaty was signed Cardinal Mazarin still resolved as well in this as upon all other occasions not to be Esclave De sa parelle sent privately the Marquess the Choupes into Portugal to assure them that in Order to the conclusion of the Treaty then on foot with Spain they were forced to leave them out and to engage not to assist them but that whatever they promised they would never forsake them and would still protect them against Spain as much as they had done before The truth is they kept their word to Portugal much better then they did to Spain And the Peace was no sonner made but they sent them the usual supplies of Men Arms and Money And a while after notwithstanding their former Treaty with Spain and in the view of the whole world they entred into an Offensive League with that Kingdom against all their Enemies whereby amongst other things the French were to have all the Sea-Towns that should be taken from Spain delivered to them All which with many other particulars too long to be inserted in this short discourse may be seen more at large in the incomparable Books of the Baren de Iss●la intituled the Buckler of State and Justice which to this day could not be answered by the French though often challenged and so much concerned in honor to do it The other security of the Pirenean Treaty as to Spain and that without which they could never have given their consent to their Marriage of the Infanta was the Renunciation before mentioned And whoever read it will be apt to think a General Councel of the Civilians was called to outdo all former Expressions used in such contracts and to find out new binding Clauses to take of all possibility of Evasion And to make it more sacred yet and more inviolable There being no greater tie upon Soveraign Princes then that of Publique and solemn Treaties the Act of the Renunciation was incorporated into the very Treaty of Pe ce to make up of both of them but one body though digested unto different Instruments as is expresly declared in the 33. Article of the Treaty of Peace wherein speaking of the Contract of Marriage to which they refer themselves these words are added which though it be seperated hath the same force and vigour with the present Treaty of Peace as being the principal part thereof and the most precious pawn of its greater security and lasting But the French Lawyers preferring the little quirks of Law before publique faith And pretending they might bring the Authority of solemn Treaties which are the true and indeed the only Law between Soveraign Princes

Majesty would be engaged in all his Quarrels and bound to make his Forces March as the before mentioned Author of the Letter to Sir Thomas Osborne expresses himself into the farthest part of Germany as often as it should happen to be Invaded by the Great Turk The late Secretary Trevor opposed this as much as he was able and endeavoured to satisfie his Majesty that the Garanty of the Tripple League as well as of the Treaty of Aix la Chapelle related only to the Agression and other Hostilities from either France or Spain Propteria saith the Treaty by reason of the said Allyance But the wary cautious men as well as of the greater number carried it And the Emperors proffer was rejected Nay as soon as some of our Semi Gods had cut the fatal Tripple Knot with the Diamond Sword of their Alexander the poor now but formerly vaunted Tripple League was trampled under foot turned into Ridicule and less vallued than a Ballade His Majesty and they themselves since the Treaty of Aix had thought it very rational and very necessary withal to invite other Princes into the said League or in other words into the Garanty of the Treaty of Aix pursuant to the VII Article of the said Treaty whereby all Kings States and Princes are invited into it But as if they remembred neither his Majesties sending of Envoyes to the Princes of Germany nor the words of the Treaty it self They tell us now in the same Printed Letter That the necessity of inviting all Princes into the Tripple League is a Maxime much in vogue with some who looking very grave do therefore take it very ill if for that reason you will not allow them to be infallible And afterwards because the Tripple League is often mentioned without mentioning the Garanty of Aix which is in truth the thing meant by it to say saith the Author we should invite them into the Tripple League That if you mark is such a kind of Figure in discourse as commonly is called a Bull. Fidem vestram Dij imortales 4. We have gone yet farther than all this And the civil applications of the French and their kind entreaties did so prevail with us that loathing the very thoughts of the Tripple League and hating almost any thing that related unto it we sufferd an Agent of ours one Marsilly whom we had sent to the Switzers to invite them into the Garanty of Aix and who was intercepted and taken Prisoner by the French whilst he was very busie in the execution of what commands he had received not many Months before from our Great-men to be broken upon the Wheel at Paris although one single word from us would have saved his life Neither did we take it ill such is our good nature that upon the very Scaffold twenty Questions were put to him relating to his Majesties Person And in that publick and infamous Place a strict enquiry made into the particulars of what had passed between him and the King of England for thus was his Majesty often mentioned and named 5. But to take off somewhat of the wonder and strangness of our neglecting and forsaking our Leagued Friends for the most Christian Kings sake we soon shewed as much self-denyal in our own concerns and grew civilised to admiration by our inward converse with the Monsieurs whereof we 'll give only three Instances The first is that whilst we stormed against the Dutch for not promoting as for as they were bound the coming away of some Families that would leave Suranam we found no fault with the French their keeping us above four years out of St. Christophers No more than with their destroying in the mean while that part of the Island which belonged to his Majesties Subjects And we would have thought it a rudeness in us to have pressed too hard on his most Christian Majesty for a speedy or punctual performance of his Articles Nay if the French Commanders in those parts are to be believed there was very good understanding in relation to the said Island between some of our Grandees and the Erench Court as doth appear by the Narrative my Lord Willoughby delivered to the Council of Plantations and which is Entered in their Books The next is That by any Ordinance of the French Privy Council which is now the Statute Law of that Kingdom all their Sea and Land Officers and Commanders in the Islands of America being strictly enjoyned and required to secure their Master the Soveraignty of those Seas the said Ordinances having been brought in by a Person of Quality to the Cabinet Council it was at first to be declaimed against but soon buried in oblivion and put up amongst the useless Papers though the French Pursuant to it hath since much interrupted our Trade and have proved infinitely vexatious in so much as I am credibly informed that the present Governour of Jamaica hath sent word since his being there that notwithstanding their old Quarrel with the Spaniards it would be much easier to keep a good Correspondence with them than with the French our dear Allies And for a last Instance of our more than ordinary civility to the French several Traders in London have prepared a Petition to his Majesty in Council to complain of the oppression their Factors and Agents lay under in France with a true state of their Case and a short account of their grievances this came to the knowledge of some of our Great Ministers and they having had the perusal of them before the delivery of it stopt by their Authority all further prosecution of the matter and put off the said Merchants with a promise they would acquaint the French Embassador with their Complaints and see it should be redressed through his means How far they have been incouraged in their Trade since that promise they are best able to judge but however it was not fit the Nakedness of our dear Friends should be thus exposed to the whole view of the whole Council-Board And the foregoing particulars are more than sufficient to satisfie any impartial and understanding Reader how far the French have influenced our Counsels and withal they give us a great light and help us much to discern whether in truth we have broken the Tripple League or at least let it fall and dissolve of it self for no other reason but because we are constrained to fall out with the Dutch and to defend our selves against their oppression as the so often cited noble Author would perswade us or else if it may not be said rather and upon much better grounds that because it was not the French Kings Interest the Tripple League should subsist we have therefore resolved to break with the Dutch Thus to be subservient to the ends of his most Christian Majesty But by reason this might seem somwhat harsh at first and be looked upon as too severe a construction of our Great mens intentions it is necessary to evidence further how industrious the

good to follow his Instructions and keep close to them 8. Lastly it is very observable that the Dutch having sent an Express the Answer Sir George Downing would not receive we first replyed it was dark obscure and insufficient Upon which they sent an Extraordinary Embassador who joyntly with the Leiger Embassador told our Ministers that his Masters intentions and desire to give his Majesty all possible satisfaction in the business of the Flagg they both Ordered and Impowred him to clear what might be obscure or dark in their Answer and supply what was insufficient and therefore desired them to instance in what they did not approve of or did think amiss or else that they would be pleased to draw up themselves after their own Method and way what Article they thought necessary for the preventing of the like inconvenience They Answered the States with their Ministers knew best how to Frame and Word their own Answers neither could it be expected they should draw up papers for them Whereupon the Dutch Embassadors brought them a Project of an Article to be agreed upon concernig the Flagg and asked them whether it was Worded to their mind and if that would satisfie them To which they gravely answered that when they had signed and delivered it they would tell them their mind concerning it And the Embassadors refusing still to design it unless they knew before hand it was Satisfactory their conference thus broke off yet upon second thoughts the Embassadors having resolved to sign the said Paper and to deliver it at a venture they demanded a New Conference which was promised them and Seven of the Clock at night appointed on the Sunday after the Engagement with the Smyrna Fleet. But on the very same day least the Dutch might comply further with us then we desired our Grandees did prevail with his Majesty to call extraordinarily a Counsel and to have without further delay the Declaration of War read and approved So that when the Embassadors came at their appointed time with their Paper ready signed they were told in short they came too late 7. I might Add as many and as considerable instances of what Arts and Policy our great Men have used to deceive his Majesty And to bring him by degrees into a liking of their War But this matter being so ticklish and nice That I fear I should not be able to go through with it although I took never so much care without exposing my self to the censure of the World and having either my intention or some of my expressions misconstrued I think it much safer and more prudent to draw a Curtain over that part of the Ministry of the Cabal and leave their Reputation so far untouched since they have had the fill to weave it as it were in more then one place into that of their Master 8. For a farther clearing of this and to satisfie our selves as far as we are able whether the Construction we do seem to make of the Carriage and Designs of the Cabal be not to partial It will not be amiss if we endeavour to discover what their own Opinion was of it at first and how far they were perswaded themselves their New Counsels were agreeable to the true Interest of England which will best appear by the two following particulars The first is Their great care of not trusting with their Mysterious Intrigues persons whose either quality natural Courage Honesty or Experience made them suspect they would be either too inquisitive before they would joyn and concur with them or else too resty and froward if they chanced to be of another mind And upon these fair and honest Grounds they reformed their Cabinet Counsel and turned at once out of the Commitee for Forein Affairs Prince Rupert the Duke of Ormond the Lord Keeper and the late Secretary Trevor This being the first Secretary of State that was ever kept out of a Commission of that Importance Not to mention several other eminent and considerable Privy Counsellors who till then had been Commissioners in all Negotiations and Treaties with France Now in case the Cabal had no Designs but what were for the Honour and the Safety of the Nation why they should so industriously to conceal it from persons that have deserved so well both from his Majesty and from the whole Kingdom is what passeth my poor understanding and whoever is able to unriddle this Erit mihi magnous Apollo But if this be convincing Argument The next I hope will be somewhat plainer And both Houses are best able to judge whether their sitting was so dangerous or how faithful those Counsellors must be who could advise his Majesty to Prorogue so often upon the French Kings desire A Parliament whose Loyalty and Zeal for their Soveraign is not to be matched in no former Age. We do not hear that either the Cecils or Walsingham ever advised the Queen their Mistress not to call her great Counsel or suffer them to meet when she was preparing to assist the Protestants in France or to Protect the Vnited Provinces against Philip the Second King James had no reason to fear his Parliament who if they came together would not oppose the assistance of the Palsgrave And his Majesty now Reigning hath in the former War against the very same Enemies had a sufficient experience of the readiness of both Houses to promote as far as they are able any design which they conceived may tend to the honour and safety of his Government and the prosperity of the Kingdom Why then should our Great men obstruct the chearful Compliance of his Majesties faithful Subjects 3. Why not to call upon those whose Assistance was so necessary and who never denied it when demanded Let us not condemn them before we have all Parliaments I speak it with due Reverence are now and then Peevish things that will not be satisfied with fair Words and pry too far into Secrets that are not to come to publick view Our Grandees were afraid if so many clear-sighted men came together some one or other would spy out the Snake that lay in the Grass and if their mine had once taken vent the whole Design had miscarried No no we 'l do better saith the Cabal we 'l be wiser than to run that hazard we are resolved to make War and will not be crossed in it by any Parliamentary Clamours If for want of a Parliament we can have no English Subsidies we 'l make a shift with French Supplies And if that doth not serve the turn observe the Gradation we 'l shut up the Exchequer In the mean while the Smyrna and East India Fleets will fall into our hands And when we have all that Treasure who shall dare to find fault with us Having brought the Cabal thus far we must before we part wait once more on some of them as far as Holland and so take our leave of them We have already given some account in the first Part of
