the_o same_o method_n not_o our_o policy_n occonomy_n or_o conduct_v we_o must_v encounter_v they_o hereafter_o and_o in_o order_n to_o it_o shall_v put_v ourselves_o in_o such_o circumstance_n that_o

suppose_v the_o nation_n to_o be_v as_o perfect_o free_a from_o all_o encumbrance_n as_o before_o the_o war._n most_o man_n at_o this_o time_n of_o day_n i_o believe_v will_v agree_v with_o i_o that_o it_o be_v not_o our_o business_n to_o throw_v squib_n in_o flanders_n send_v out_o vast_a sum_n of_o money_n to_o have_v our_o man_n play_v at_o bopeep_n with_o the_o french_a and_o at_o best_a to_o

in_o disband_v they_o there_o be_v some_o gentleman_n that_o have_v start_v a_o new_a method_n of_o make_v war_n with_o france_n and_o tell_v we_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o send_v force_n to_o

every_o one_o opinion_n that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o strong_a fleet_n keep_v up_o at_o cales_n or_o in_o the_o mediterranean_a superior_a to_o the_o french_a and_o than_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a and_o cheap_a to_o bring_v the_o emperor_n force_n by_o the_o way_n of_o final_a to_o spain_n than_o to_o send_v man_n from_o hence_o and_o they_o be_v more_o likely_a to_o be_v acceptable_a there_o be_v of_o the_o same_o religion_n and_o subject_n to_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n whereas_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v our_o man_n will_v be_v in_o as_o much_o danger_n from_o that_o bigoted_a nation_n as_o from_o the_o french_a beside_o the_o king_n of_o potugal_n be_v arm_v for_o his_o own_o defence_n and_o a_o sum_n of_o money_n well_o dispose_v there_o will_v enable_v he_o to_o raise_v double_a the_o force_n upon_o the_o spot_n as_o can_v be_v send_v from_o hence_o with_o the_o same_o charge_n but_o for_o once_o i_o will_v admit_v it_o necessary_a we_o shall_v send_v force_n both_o to_o flanders_n and_o spain_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o consequence_n that_o we_o must_v keep_v up_o a_o stand_a army_n in_o england_n till_o that_o time_n come_v we_o may_v remember_v chrles_n the_o second_o raise_v between_o 20_o and_o 30000_o man_n to_o fight_v against_o france_n in_o less_o than_o forty_o day_n and_o the_o regiment_n this_o king_n raise_v the_o first_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n be_v complete_v in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n fart_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o a_o new_a army_n may_v be_v raise_v before_o ship_n and_o provision_n will_v be_v ready_a for_o their_o transportation_n at_o least_o if_o the_o management_n be_v no_o better_a than_o it_o be_v once_o upon_o a_o time_n and_o perhaps_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n will_v not_o die_v in_o the_o summer_n time_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o winter_n before_o we_o we_o may_v add_v to_o this_o that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v disband_v a_o great_a many_o

the_o french_a will_v lie_v under_o a_o equal_a necessity_n to_o raise_v force_n with_o a_o much_o less_o country_n than_o in_o the_o former_a war_n to_o oppose_v such_o a_o mighty_a union_n of_o

why_o forsooth_o have_v a_o small_a number_n of_o man_n more_o for_o the_o officer_n will_v always_o be_v ready_a and_o now_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o private_a soldier_n be_v to_o be_v raise_v in_o case_n of_o a_o new_a war_n ready_a six_o week_n soon_o to_o attack_v france_n and_o i_o dare_v almost_o appeal_v to_o these_o gentleman_n themselves_o whether_o so_o small_a a_o balance_n

our_o liberty_n and_o to_o gain_v their_o little_a party-ends_a the_o way_n to_o bring_v the_o people_n into_o it_o hearty_o be_v to_o show_v they_o that_o all_o their_o action_n tend_v to_o the_o

month_n in_o intrigue_n how_o to_o keep_v up_o a_o stand_a army_n to_o the_o dread_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o let_v they_o fancy_v what_o they_o please_v the_o people_n will_v never_o consent_v to_o the_o raise_v a_o new_a army_n till_o they_o be_v satisfy_v they_o shall_v be_v rid_v of_o they_o when_o the_o war_n be_v do_v and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o
