we_o have_v also_o give_v order_n for_o equip_v 48_o ship_n of_o war_n above_o the_o number_n common_o use_v for_o guard_n and_o convoy_n and_o the_o state_n have_v already_o give_v order_n to_o

be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o service_n of_o the_o state_n and_o i_o will_v not_o fail_v of_o help_v what_o i_o can_v to_o the_o accomplish_n of_o all_o this_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o can_v be_v do_v

no_o way_n offensive_a since_o he_o who_o real_o desire_v the_o peace_n will_v find_v in_o it_o his_o support_n and_o advantage_n and_o that_o these_o force_n shall_v not_o be_v employ_v till_o the_o last_o necessity_n against_o he_o that_o by_o his_o wilfulness_n will_v disappoint_v christendom_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v you_o by_o your_o letter_n to_o make_v the_o

the_o 2d_o point_n i_o think_v it_o import_v much_o that_o the_o marquis_n of_o castel-rodrigo_n shall_v explain_v himself_o upon_o which_o of_o the_o two_o condition_n propose_v by_o the_o

and_o accomplishment_n by_o all_o their_o force_n both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o in_o short_a that_o in_o every_o occurrence_n they_o will_v do_v very_o judicious_o to_o obviate_v all_o

excellence_n desire_v will_v put_v the_o king_n of_o erance_n upon_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o continue_v the_o war_n because_o if_o he_o shall_v comply_v after_o such_o a_o league_n make_v

and_o make_v he_o quit_v all_o hope_n of_o engage_v we_o by_o the_o force_n of_o his_o great_a genius_n to_o enter_v of_o our_o own_o accord_n where_o we_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o come_v but_o upon_o a_o fatal_a necessity_n i_o think_v his_o excellence_n do_v wrong_a to_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o the_o state_n in_o not_o trust_v their_o affection_n and_o their_o honour_n which_o be_v concern_v as_o well_o as_o their_o interest_n after_o the_o alliance_n and_o the_o peace_n they_o have_v already_o make_v together_o but_o if_o after_o his_o excellence_n have_v accept_v our_o proposition_n the_o king_n of_o france_n shall_v happen_v to_o draw_v back_o or_o seek_v evasion_n then_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o the_o state_n general_n enter_v into_o the_o party_n and_o even_o into_o a_o rupture_n with_o france_n it_o will_v be_v very_o just_a and_o proper_a to_o concert_v with_o his_o excellency_n after_o what_o manner_n to_o act_v in_o the_o territory_n of_o
