the_o reply_n of_o the_o state_n general_n of_o the_o unite_a province_n of_o the_o low_a country_n to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n anno_fw-la 1673._o to_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n the_o 9_o 19_o of_o decemb._n 1673._o sir_n what_o ever_o may_v have_v induce_v your_o majesty_n to_o write_v we_o the_o letter_n which_o the_o trumpeter_n we_o have_v send_v you_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o your_o majesty_n date_v the_o 7_o 17_o novemb_n we_o do_v think_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o return_v you_o our_o thanks_o for_o the_o honour_n you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o do_v we_o but_o we_o can_v but_o let_v you_o know_v at_o the_o same_o time_n how_o much_o we_o be_v trouble_v to_o see_v your_o majesty_n so_o prepossess_v against_o we_o and_o that_o those_o minister_n who_o you_o most_o trust_v have_v hitherto_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o influence_n your_o majesty_n so_o far_o as_o we_o see_v they_o have_v do_v by_o persuade_v you_o to_o aver_v so_o many_o thing_n which_o they_o suppose_v be_v out_o of_o your_o majesty_n memory_n and_o which_o they_o know_v in_o their_o own_o conscience_n to_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o truth_n for_o this_o reason_n sir_n we_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v a_o particular_a answer_n to_o all_o the_o head_n of_o the_o letter_n your_o majesty_n have_v write_v to_o we_o that_o we_o may_v not_o give_v a_o new_a occasion_n to_o those_o that_o have_v so_o possess_v your_o majesty_n to_o exasperate_v you_o further_o but_o refer_v ourselves_o to_o the_o deduction_n which_o we_o be_v necessitate_v to_o set_v forth_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o manifest_a which_o be_v publish_v in_o your_o majesty_n name_n we_o shall_v satisfy_v ourselves_o with_o declare_v here_o unto_o your_o majesty_n that_o as_o we_o have_v allege_v nothing_o in_o the_o letter_n we_o have_v write_v to_o your_o majesty_n whereof_o we_o have_v not_o in_o our_o hand_n authentic_a and_o undeniable_a proof_n so_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n to_o produce_v they_o before_o your_o majesty_n whensoever_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v we_o a_o fit_a opportunity_n for_o it_o and_o withal_o since_o your_o majesty_n suppose_v that_o what_o information_n you_o have_v receive_v from_o your_o minister_n be_v more_o faithful_a have_v complain_v to_o your_o parliament_n of_o our_o obstinate_a averseness_n to_o peace_n and_o that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o according_a to_o their_o wont_a prudence_n have_v be_v please_v to_o suspend_v their_o judgement_n therein_o and_o to_o give_v we_o thereby_o a_o occasion_n to_o lay_v our_o innocence_n more_o open_a and_o to_o give_v more_o public_a and_o convince_a proof_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o intention_n we_o have_v think_v it_o necessary_a to_o add_v that_o to_o let_v your_o majesty_n and_o all_o your_o kingdom_n see_v that_o we_o do_v not_o affect_v to_o speak_v of_o peace_n as_o be_v lay_v to_o our_o charge_n without_o real_o desire_v the_o same_o and_o that_o we_o be_v far_o from_o entrench_v ourselves_o within_o general_a word_n without_o come_v to_o any_o particular_a overture_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o renew_v with_o your_o majesty_n the_o treaty_n which_o you_o conclude_v with_o we_o at_o breda_n in_o the_o year_n 1667_o and_o to_o explain_v the_o 19_o article_n concern_v the_o flagg_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o may_v prevent_v any_o further_a dispute_n for_o the_o future_a and_o that_o may_v regulate_v and_o settle_v the_o practice_n thereof_o without_o any_o ambiguity_n and_o be_v your_o majesty_n judge_v the_o say_a treaty_n so_o just_a and_o so_o equitable_a that_o for_o some_o year_n after_o we_o receive_v more_o proof_n of_o your_o majesty_n friendship_n and_o you_o enter_v with_o we_o into_o strict_a alliance_n than_o ever_o we_o do_v propose_v the_o same_o as_o the_o most_o solid_a foundation_n of_o a_o firm_a and_o durable_a peace_n and_o we_o hope_v your_o majesty_n will_v not_o refuse_v to_o return_v to_o your_o former_a amity_n with_o we_o upon_o the_o same_o term_n which_o you_o have_v heretofore_o approve_v of_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o many_o other_o respect_v relate_v to_o the_o good_a of_o both_o nation_n aught_o to_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n on_o both_o side_n to_o unite_v we_o again_o the_o soon_o moreover_o because_o some_o have_v endeavour_v to_o persuade_v your_o majesty_n that_o we_o have_v violate_v our_o treatye_n and_o commit_v several_a injustice_n for_o which_o satisfaction_n be_v demand_v we_o be_v also_o ready_a to_o send_v forthwith_o our_o ambassador_n to_o your_o majesty_n to_o give_v you_o a_o more_o faithful_a account_n of_o the_o truth_n than_o you_o have_v receive_v from_o our_o enemy_n &_o to_o examine_v in_o your_o presence_n all_o the_o infraction_n that_o be_v lay_v to_o our_o charge_n with_o a_o solemn_a promise_n to_o repair_v and_o give_v satisfaction_n for_o all_o the_o wrong_n or_o injury_n which_o either_o your_o majesty_n or_o your_o subject_n may_v have_v receive_v from_o we_o or_o from_o our_o officer_n since_o the_o aforesaid_a treaty_n of_o breda_n till_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o war._n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o inquiry_n may_v not_o retard_v the_o conclusion_n of_o a_o peace_n which_o we_o so_o earnest_o desire_v and_o which_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o the_o good_a of_o all_o christendom_n we_o do_v offer_v to_o your_o majesty_n for_o a_o great_a security_n the_o guarantie_n of_o our_o ally_n for_o the_o exact_a and_o punctual_a performance_n of_o the_o promise_n we_o make_v here_o and_o which_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v insert_v in_o the_o treaty_n which_o shall_v be_v conclude_v to_o make_v the_o same_o so_o much_o the_o more_o authentic_a last_o to_o demonstrate_v to_o your_o majesty_n how_o far_o we_o value_v your_o friendship_n we_o do_v proffer_n you_o likewise_o to_o restore_v the_o new_a netherlands_o with_o any_o other_o place_n or_o colony_n our_o arm_n may_v have_v conquer_v during_o this_o war_n not_o doubt_v but_o that_o your_o majesty_n will_v not_o refuse_v reciprocal_o to_o engage_v to_o restore_v to_o we_o what_o territorye_n or_o fort_n your_o majesty_n may_v have_v conquer_v but_o because_o your_o majesty_n seem_v above_o all_o to_o complain_v that_o we_o do_v high_o offend_v you_o by_o propose_v to_o your_o majesty_n to_o leave_v your_o ally_n to_o who_o you_o have_v promise_v not_o to_o treat_v separately_z while_o we_o do_v establish_v it_o for_o a_o fundamental_a point_n that_o we_o can_v break_v the_o word_n we_o have_v give_v we_o without_o wrong_v our_o honour_n as_o if_o your_o majesty_n be_v to_o value_v you_o less_o we_o beseech_v your_o majesty_n to_o consider_v there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o your_o engagement_n &_o we_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o carriage_n of_o those_o we_o be_v respective_o ally_v with_o and_o your_o majesty_n may_v with_o as_o much_o justice_n as_o glory_n quench_v a_o fire_n which_o have_v already_o spread_v itself_o much_o further_o than_o you_o do_v think_v at_o first_o whereas_o we_o can_v not_o forsake_v our_o ally_n without_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o great_a ingratitude_n and_o without_o destroy_v europe_n by_o destroy_v ourselves_o when_o your_o majesty_n do_v at_o first_o join_v with_o our_o enemy_n you_o do_v seem_v to_o intend_v only_o to_o bring_v our_o commonwealth_n low_a but_o now_o the_o war_n be_v grow_v a_o general_a one_o and_o the_o spanish_a netherlands_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o which_o your_o majesty_n have_v always_o appear_v so_o zealous_a be_v no_o less_o concern_v in_o it_o than_o ourselves_o as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o empire_n beside_o your_o majesty_n have_v so_o much_o the_o less_o reason_n to_o continue_v in_o your_o former_a alliance_n since_o your_o ally_n themselves_o have_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o war_n and_o have_v force_v our_o friend_n to_o declare_v so_o much_o the_o soon_o in_o our_o behalf_n while_o neither_o his_o imperial_a majesty_n nor_o the_o most_o serene_a king_n of_o spain_n can_v bear_v no_o long_o with_o the_o hostilitye_n the_o french_a commit_v every_o day_n in_o all_o the_o low_a country_n and_o in_o several_a province_n of_o the_o empire_n where_o they_o have_v already_o master_v a_o electoral_a town_n but_o not_o to_o enter_v into_o these_o particular_n and_o lay_v aside_o several_a other_o argument_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n your_o majesty_n sir_n have_v but_o to_o much_o cause_n to_o forsake_v a_o ally_n that_o have_v seek_v nothing_o in_o this_o war_n but_o his_o own_o private_a advantage_n and_o who_o in_o the_o most_o important_a occasion_n have_v take_v care_n of_o nothing_o less_o than_o of_o your_o majesty_n concern_v not_o to_o say_v worse_o and_o if_o your_o majesty_n do_v still_o doubt_v the_o truth_n
