we_o shall_v be_v the_o better_o enable_v to_o judge_n of_o the_o symmetry_n of_o the_o whole_a ere_o we_o take_v it_o to_o piece_n for_o a_o near_a inspection_n the_o whole_a drift_n of_o this_o letter_n be_v to_o stifle_v or_o depreciate_v a_o discovery_n the_o evidence_n of_o which_o his_o gr_n of_o s._n be_v either_o not_o willing_a or_o not_o able_a to_o produce_v it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o mystery_n that_o his_o gr_n shall_v use_v so_o much_o artifice_n against_o one_o he_o so_o much_o despise_v fear_v and_o contempt_n never_o lodge_v in_o one_o breast_n together_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v strange_a he_o shall_v fear_v the_o opposition_n of_o a_o man_n who_o service_n he_o so_o much_o slight_v he_o that_o tread_v soft_o upon_o a_o worm_n give_v more_o suspicion_n of_o the_o tenderness_n of_o his_o foot_n than_o his_o heart_n and_o show_v a_o strong_a argument_n of_o regard_n to_o himself_o than_o of_o the_o poor_a creature_n that_o he_o trample_v upon_o in_o this_o letter_n his_o gr_n have_v reverse_v the_o method_n of_o all_o other_o politician_n for_o will_v he_o have_v inspire_v other_o with_o as_o great_a a_o contempt_n for_o my_o service_n as_o he_o

produce_v such_o evidence_n as_o he_o have_v but_o it_o seem_v his_o gr_n be_v not_o able_a to_o retrieve_v those_o letter_n he_o receive_v from_o i_o or_o perhaps_o he_o think_v it_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o silence_v i_o than_o they_o the_o letter_n can_v neither_o be_v bribe_v nor_o awe_v and_o therefore_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n be_v no_o place_n for_o such_o bold_a evidence_n who_o ear_n be_v always_o open_a to_o truth_n however_o oppress_v it_o be_v hard_a to_o procure_v any_o one_o to_o confront_v they_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v they_o retract_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o come_v there_o it_o be_v sure_o a_o strange_a piece_n of_o conduct_n in_o his_o gr_n to_o lose_v those_o letter_n and_o direct_o repugnant_a to_o that_o cautious_a character_n which_o he_o assect_v towards_o the_o end_n of_o his_o letter_n but_o some_o man_n oversight_n be_v of_o great_a service_n to_o they_o than_o their_o circumspection_n of_o how_o little_a importance_n soever_o he_o may_v think_v the_o content_n it_o have_v be_v but_o prudence_n to_o have_v preserve_v those_o letter_n especial_o since_o he_o own_v he_o have_v hear_v i_o complain_v of_o he_o a_o man_n that_o expect_v to_o be_v accuse_v even_o so_o far_o as_o to_o doubt_v his_o safety_n will_v sure_o not_o part_v so_o negligent_o with_o the_o undeniable_a proof_n of_o his_o innocence_n have_v i_o harbour_v any_o such_o malicious_a design_n i_o can_v not_o have_v wish_v for_o a_o fair_a occasion_n of_o charge_v what_o i_o please_v upon_o he_o than_o when_o his_o own_o negligence_n have_v cut_v off_o all_o mean_n of_o make_v his_o defence_n but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o such_o trifle_n than_o they_o ought_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o have_v be_v so_o careless_o dispose_v of_o for_o any_o thing_n the_o d_o know_v those_o very_a letter_n may_v come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o king_n enemy_n and_o make_v that_o which_o be_v intend_v for_o his_o information_n a_o warning_n to_o they_o and_o a_o caution_n to_o act_v more_o close_o for_o the_o future_a but_o if_o the_o d_o have_v so_o light_a a_o opinion_n of_o they_o it_o must_v be_v either_o because_o he_o think_v the_o discovery_n therein_o contain_v be_v of_o no_o importance_n if_o true_a or_o because_o i_o have_v not_o credit_n with_o he_o to_o enforce_v a_o belief_n now_o the_o subject_n of_o they_o be_v a_o plot_n to_o further_a the_o intend_a invasion_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o to_o assassinate_v the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n i_o presume_v he_o will_v not_o pretend_v that_o these_o be_v matter_n not_o worth_a his_o notice_n if_o he_o believe_v my_o information_n to_o be_v true_a it_o must_v therefore_o be_v that_o he_o have_v not_o confidence_n enough_o in_o i_o to_o regard_v what_o i_o say_v yet_o in_o this_o very_a letter_n his_o gr_n be_v please_v to_o confess_v that_o i_o do_v very_o early_o inform_v he_o of_o the_o preparation_n that_o be_v make_v in_o france_n to_o invade_v england_n and_o that_o he_o have_v then_o more_o value_n for_o my_o intelligence_n it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o while_o what_o i_o say_v be_v doubtful_a it_o pass_v for_o authentic_a but_o time_n which_o full_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o destroy_v the_o credit_n for_o when_o i_o give_v he_o information_n of_o the_o toulon_n fleet_n while_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o secret_a intelligence_n only_o i_o be_v believe_v though_o the_o certainty_n of_o my_o discovery_n be_v not_o yet_o bring_v to_o light_n but_o when_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o be_v full_o prove_v which_o with_o a_o reasonable_a man_n that_o have_v doubt_v i_o before_o shall_v have_v give_v i_o sufficient_a credit_n that_o which_o i_o before_o have_v be_v blast_v on_o the_o sudden_a without_o any_o apparent_a reason_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o my_o discovery_n be_v true_a for_o when_o i_o come_v with_o a_o second_o of_o great_a importance_n than_o the_o former_a concern_v no_o less_o than_o the_o life_n of_o the_o king_n it_o seem_v it_o be_v not_o regard_v notwithstanding_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o descent_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n concern_v which_o my_o intelligence_n be_v more_o remote_a and_o consequent_o more_o dubious_a but_o there_o be_v some_o unhappy_a constitution_n with_o who_o every_o thing_n work_v the_o wrong_a way_n have_v my_o information_n be_v false_a perplex_v or_o trifle_v his_o gr_n have_v have_v some_o reason_n to_o have_v reject_v what_o i_o shall_v offer_v for_o the_o future_a but_o he_o be_v please_v to_o own_o that_o the_o account_n which_o i_o give_v he_o be_v surprise_o true_a and_o he_o do_v i_o the_o further_a honour_n to_o say_v that_o in_o winter_n i_o write_v very_o positive_o of_o a_o invasion_n from_o france_n which_o i_o mention_v because_o it_o show_v my_o account_n be_v neither_o waver_a nor_o perplex_v and_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o reader_n whether_o a_o invasion_n from_o so_o powerful_a a_o enemy_n as_o france_n be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v slight_v and_o consequent_o whether_o a_o early_a notice_n early_o enough_o it_o seem_v to_o surprise_v a_o minister_n of_o state_n be_v a_o trifle_n or_o the_o person_n that_o can_v give_v it_o to_o be_v treat_v with_o neglect_n but_o his_o gr_n allege_v three_o thing_n in_o justification_n of_o the_o singularity_n of_o his_o conduct_n in_o this_o case_n the_o first_o be_v that_o i_o have_v my_o information_n from_o one_o hewet_n a_o youth_n that_o live_v with_o major_a holmes_n brother_n the_o next_o that_o i_o be_v different_a in_o my_o account_n concern_v the_o manner_n of_o seize_v the_o king_n the_o three_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a it_o appear_v i_o be_v not_o enough_o in_o the_o secret_a to_o prevent_v it_o to_o these_o three_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o make_v some_o answer_n though_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v a_o more_o sufficient_a refutation_n than_o to_o compare_v the_o several_a particular_n of_o the_o letter_n together_o his_o gr_n insinuate_v that_o he_o have_v slight_v my_o information_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o the_o person_n from_o who_o only_o as_o he_o will_v intimate_v i_o receive_v my_o intelligence_n viz._n one_o hewet_n a_o youth_n that_o live_v with_o major_a holmes_n be_v brother_n by_o which_o he_o seem_v desirous_a to_o have_v more_o understand_v than_o he_o direct_o express_v viz._n that_o my_o intelligencer_n be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o footboy_n and_o therefore_o the_o information_n from_o such_o a_o person_n be_v not_o to_o
