a_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n why_o may_v not_o the_o english_a assist_v the_o swede_n as_o well_o as_o the_o dutch_a do_v the_o dane_n london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1658._o a_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n why_o may_v not_o the_o english_a assist_v the_o swede_n as_o well_o as_o the_o dutch_a do_v the_o dane_n sir_n you_o be_v please_v to_o ask_v i_o late_o why_o england_n may_v not_o as_o well_o assist_v the_o king_n of_o sweden_n as_o the_o unite_a netherlands_n province_n do_v send_v succour_n to_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n believe_v that_o it_o will_v be_v acceptable_a to_o yourself_o and_o other_o noble_a gentleman_n and_o all_o impartial_a lover_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n that_o the_o same_o question_n be_v answer_v i_o do_v first_o offer_v it_o to_o your_o

second_o to_o consider_v there_o be_v beside_o the_o swedish_n navy_n no_o ship_n of_o war_n in_o the_o sound_n or_o baltic_a sea_n but_o some_o of_o denmark_n and_o the_o unite_a province_n whether_o the_o english_a succour_n in_o those_o part_n can_v be_v employ_v or_o make_v use_n of_o with_o honour_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n against_o denmark_n or_o against_o the_o say_a unite_a province_n 1._o consider_v that_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o denmark_n be_v surprise_v and_o invade_v and_o almost_o total_o subdue_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n except_o only_o the_o

with_o his_o royal_a family_n and_o the_o council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o say_a king_n of_o denmark_n be_v in_o a_o sad_a and_o distress_a condition_n have_v surrender_v upon_o the_o treaty_n of_o raskild_a mediate_v by_o a_o public_a minister_n of_o england_n betwixt_o the_o two_o king_n in_o february_n last_o 1657._o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o

in_o the_o field_n nor_o one_o ship_n of_o war_n at_o sea_n in_o all_o his_o kingdom_n of_o denmark_n when_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o king_n of_o sweden_n bid_v several_a army_n round_o about_o the_o baltic_a sea_n in_o livonia_n and_o curland_n in_o prussia_n in_o pomerania_n in_o the_o dukedom_n of_o br_n …_o and_o in_o his_o conquer_a province_n and_o strong_a place_n in_o jutland_n
