A37441	Some reflections on a pamphlet lately published entituled An argument shewing that a standing army is inconsistent with a free government and absolutely destructive to the constitution of the English monarchy	Defoe, Daniel, 1661?-1731.	1697 (1697)	Wing D848; ESTC R29705	20,562	34

army_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o lie_v among_o our_o ●●●●es_n there_o be_v accident_n which_o require_v the_o help_n of_o a_o army_n though_o the_o king_n and_o people_n be_v all_o of_o a_o mind_n and_o all_o of_o a_o side_n king_n james_n and_o his_o parliament_n have_v a_o full_a understanding_n and_o they_o be_v as_o vigorous_a for_o he_o as_o ever_o parliament_n be_v for_o a_o king_n and_o yet_o what_o have_v become_v of_o both_o if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v regular_a troop_n to_o have_v resist_v the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n if_o they_o have_v be_v to_o be_v raise_v then_o he_o must_v have_v go_v to_o france_n then_o as_o he_o do_v now_o or_o have_v stay_v at_o home_n and_o have_v fare_v worse_o for_o they_o will_v hardly_o have_v use_v he_o so_o tender_o as_o the_o present_a king_n do_v to_o my_o knowledge_n i_o be_o loath_a to_o mention_v the_o jacobite_n party_n as_o a_o argument_n worth_a while_n to_o maintain_v any_o thing_n of_o force_n but_o just_o enough_o to_o prevent_v assassination_n and_o private_a murder_n on_o the_o king_n person_n for_o as_o they_o never_o dare_v look_v he_o in_o the_o face_n when_o powerful_o assist_v by_o the_o french_a so_o i_o dare_v say_v they_o will_v never_o have_v the_o courage_n to_o disturb_v our_o peace_n with_o sword_n in_o hand_n what_o they_o do_v will_v be_v by_o cabal_n to_o foment_n distrust_v and_o discontent_n to_o embroil_n if_o possible_a the_o king_n with_o his_o people_n or_o by_o private_a villainous_a assassinate_v to_o destroy_v he_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o involve_v the_o whole_a nation_n in_o blood_n and_o disorder_n i_o allow_v the_o speech_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n to_o the_o duke_n d'alanzon_n be_v very_o great_a and_o brave_a in_o she_o but_o pray_v have_v queen_n elizabeth_n no_o

of_o navarre_n and_o in_o her_o war_n in_o ireland_n than_o 30000_o man_n and_o all_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o she_o keep_v they_o abroad_o employ_v for_o the_o assistance_n of_o her_o

deceptio_fw-la visus_fw-la upon_o our_o understanding_n and_o a_o presumption_n that_o no_o body_n have_v read_v any_o history_n but_o himself_o then_o we_o come_v to_o k._n charles_n the_o second_v

not_o think_v a_o grievance_n but_o attend_v with_o the_o circumstance_n of_o popish_a confederacy_n and_o league_n and_o a_o popish_a successor_n in_o view_n and_o then_o visible_o manage_v they_o they_o may_v be_v think_v so_o and_o yet_o the_o grand_a jury_n present_v they_o make_v they_o no_o more_o a_o grievance_n than_o if_o they_o have_v present_v the_o parliament_n which_o grant_v a_o

a_o strange_a preposterous_a supposition_n and_o have_v no_o argument_n bring_v to_o prove_v it_o but_o the_o uncertain_a capricious_a humour_n of_o the_o soldiery_n who_o in_o all_o age_n have_v

of_o his_o person_n and_o family_n and_o the_o fatigue_n of_o a_o bloody_a war_n to_o be_v represent_v at_o his_o return_n as_o a_o person_n now_o as_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v as_o king_n james_n be_v to_o be_v trust_v no_o more_o than_o a_o mad_a man_n and_o the_o like_a before_o he_o so_o much_o as_o know_v whether_o there_o shall_v ever_o be_v any_o dispute_n about_o the_o matter_n or_o no._n have_v the_o king_n demand_v a_o stand_a army_n have_v he_o propose_v it_o do_v he_o insist_v upon_o it_o how_o if_o no_o such_o thought_n be_v in_o he_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n what_o a_o government_n

a_o invective_n upon_o the_o king_n and_o the_o army_n when_o we_o have_v find_v the_o parliament_n of_o england_n struggle_v to_o disband_v they_o and_o the_o king_n resolute_a to_o maintain_v they_o but_o this_o when_o the_o king_n and_o the_o house_n be_v all_o union_n and_o harmony_n it_o be_v intolerable_a and_o the_o king_n ought_v to_o have_v some_o satisfaction_n make_v he_o and_o i_o

have_v cast_v so_o much_o blood_n and_o treasure_n to_o procure_v and_o i_o leave_v the_o method_n to_o they_o and_o so_o i_o think_v this_o author_n ought_v to_o have_v do_v i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o in_o that_o great_a assembly_n all_o thing_n will_v be_v do_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o liberty_n with_o a_o due_a respect_n to_o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o be_v possible_a they_o have_v show_v themselves_o the_o most_o steady_a and_o zealous_a for_o his_o interest_n and_o the_o public_a of_o any_o body_n that_o ever_o fill_v that_o house_n and_o i_o can_v never_o see_v and_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o be_v a_o slight_a observer_n of_o affair_n neither_o i_o say_v i_o can_v never_o see_v the_o least_o symptom_n of_o a_o inclination_n in_o the_o

be_v as_o entire_a judge_n of_o the_o remedy_n have_v he_o ever_o skreen_v a_o malefactor_n from_o their_o justice_n or_o a_o favourite_n from_o their_o displeasure_n have_v he_o ever_o infringe_v their_o privilege_n and_o as_o to_o who_o shall_v come_v after_o we_o have_v his_o royal_a declaration_n at_o his_o come_n to_o these_o kingdom_n that_o his_o design_n be_v to_o establish_v our_o

in_o the_o matter_n to_o they_o let_v it_o be_v leave_v and_o if_o they_o agree_v be_v it_o with_o a_o army_n or_o without_o a_o army_n be_v it_o by_o a_o militia_n regulate_v or_o by_o a_o army_n
