symmachia_n or_o a_o trve-loves_a knot_n tie_v betwixt_o great_a britain_n and_o the_o unite_a province_n by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o king_n james_n and_o the_o state_n general_n the_o king_n of_o france_n denmark_n and_o sweden_n the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n with_o the_o state_n of_o venice_n be_v witness_n and_o assistant_n for_o the_o weal_n and_o peace_n of_o christendom_n to_o the_o reader_n

one_o arise_v which_o be_v of_o great_a moment_n and_o likely_a to_o produce_v most_o alteration_n if_o it_o be_v not_o prevent_v and_o that_o be_v the_o hard_a and_o extreme_a measure_n which_o the_o merchant_n adventurer_n here_o settle_v meet_v with_o in_o their_o staple_n commodity_n concern_v which_o if_o there_o be_v not_o order_v present_o take_v to_o give_v they_o contentment_n in_o some_o

and_o justice_n with_o indifferency_n symmachia_n or_o a_o truelove_n knot_n as_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o more_o moment_n in_o humane_a consideration_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o religion_n

we_o treat_v with_o the_o enemy_n have_v cause_v many_o people_n in_o the_o unite_a province_n to_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o we_o as_o coy_a dame_n use_v to_o do_v who_o think_v to_o win_v their_o lover_n to_o more_o longing_n by_o rude_a trick_n of_o unkindenes_n i_o intend_v not_o to_o repeat_v the_o particular_n lest_o i_o shall_v be_v think_v rather_o to_o revive_v old_a quarrel_n by_o renue_v there_o memory_n then_o to_o stop_v far_a breach_n by_o bury_v all_o fome_a injury_n in_o oblivion_n yet_o i_o must_v say_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v think_v we_o put_v up_o those_o

it_o upon_o private_a person_n otherwise_o we_o be_v as_o well_o able_a to_o scourge_v they_o as_o to_o defend_v they_o from_o scourge_v it_o be_v a_o ingrateful_a part_n in_o they_o whilst_o we_o endanger_v ourselves_o by_o hold_v up_o their_o chin_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o sink_v that_o they_o s'hould_v with_o their_o heel_n kick_v we_o under_o water_n but_o because_o we_o believe_v and_o know_v that_o these_o wrong_n proceed_v not_o from_o the_o state_n but_o from_o such_o person_n for_o the_o most_o part_n on_o both_o side_n as_o love_v mammon_n better_a than_o christ_n and_o count_v gain_v the_o only_a godliness_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o hear_v or_o believe_v all_o that_o be_v suggest_v nor_o to_o see_v all_o that_o be_v true_a but_o to_o hope_v and_o promise_v
