the_o two_o great_a question_n further_o consider_v with_o some_o reply_n to_o the_o remark_n non_fw-la licet_fw-la hominem_fw-la muliebriter_fw-la rixare_fw-la by_o the_o author_n london_n print_v

that_o part_n of_o mankind_n who_o be_v master_n of_o their_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n in_o this_o town_n the_o author_n of_o the_o two_o reason_n consider_v be_v never_o yet_o suspect_v of_o be_v a_o courtier_n a_o advocate_n for_o stand_a army_n a_o insulter_n of_o parliament_n but_o just_a the_o contrary_n as_o will_v appear_v if_o ever_o he_o be_v call_v to_o show_v himself_o but_o because_o he_o take_v the_o liberty_n to_o put_v his_o thought_n in_o print_n on_o the_o extraordinary_a juncture_n of_o affair_n on_o account_n of_o the_o spanish_a succession_n and_o he_o find_v that_o some_o

little_o think_v any_o body_n will_v have_v be_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o mistake_v he_o the_o two_o great_a question_n further_o consider_v before_o i_o enter_v into_o the_o particular_n of_o the_o book_n i_o be_o go_v to_o vindicate_v i_o must_v desire_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v that_o this_o book_n be_v write_v before_o the_o french_a king_n have_v declare_v he_o will_v accept_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n will_n or_o have_v receive_v the_o duke_n d'_fw-fr anjou_n as_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o therefore_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n seize_v of_o spain_n or_o seize_v of_o flanders_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v understand_v seize_v it_o for_o himself_o to_o annex_v it_o to_o the_o crown_n of_o france_n a_o thing_n that_o have_v all_o along_o by_o all_o the_o

understand_v i_o so_o when_o i_o say_v page_n 22_o and_o quote_v by_o he_o page_z 9_o it_o must_v certain_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n and_o holland_n first_o to_o put_v themselves_o in_o such_o a_o posture_n as_o may_v prevent_v the_o french_a king_n be_v seize_v of_o spain_n and_o the_o next_o word_n express_v it_o direct_o viz._n and_o upon_o the_o first_o invasion_n of_o the_o

to_o any_o man_n reason_n whether_o the_o french_a king_n be_v seize_v or_o invade_v of_o spain_n can_v mean_v any_o thing_n but_o the_o french_a king_n be_v seize_v or_o invade_v of_o spain_n and_o be_v as_o explicit_a as_o word_n can_v make_v it_o and_o will_v certain_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o peace_n of_o reswick_n the_o remarker_n page_n 6._o tell_v the_o world_n the_o question_n what_o the_o english_a ought_v to_o do_v be_v a_o shooing-horn_n to_o draw_v on_o what_o some_o people_n mighty_o want_v a_o stand_a army_n and_o then_o in_o his_o rude_a dialect_n run_v on_o against_o the_o soldiery_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v to_o put_v a_o value_n on_o his_o argument_n magnify_v our_o nation_n to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o no_o man_n who_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o power_n and_o design_n of_o our_o neighbour_n can_v allow_v to_o be_v so_o much_o as_o rational_a i_o must_v first_o answer_v his_o presumptive_a suggestion_n and_o then_o proceed_v i_o take_v leave_n to_o assure_v all_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v read_v these_o sheet_n that_o by_o all_o the_o expression_n of_o force_n posture_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o like_a i_o do_v mean_a and_o do_v desire_n to_o

shall_v be_v think_v necessary_a for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o support_v of_o our_o trade_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o world_n why_o else_o do_v i_o say_v england_n shall_v put_v herself_o into_o such_o a_o posture_n by_o england_n a_o englishman_n always_o understand_v the_o parliament_n of_o england_n and_o no_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n will_v imagine_v otherwise_o now_o do_v ever_o parliament_n in_o england_n talk_v in_o this_o gentleman_n dialect_n that_o we_o have_v a_o fleet_n and_o no_o army_n no_o matter_n if_o all_o the_o world_n confederate_v against_o we_o and_o do_v ever_o we_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o foreign_a alliance_n be_v confederacy_n advantageous_a to_o we_o and_o the_o like_a sure_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o england_n be_v

join_v in_o a_o confederacy_n the_o french_a king_n have_v meet_v with_o no_o work_n to_o divert_v he_o from_o give_v king_n james_n such_o a_o powerful_a assistance_n as_o may_v have_v prevent_v our_o revolution_n none_o but_o a_o mad_a man_n can_v deny_v that_o it_o be_v the_o union_n of_o the_o confederate_n that_o be_v the_o protection_n of_o england_n the_o remarker_n tell_v we_o the_o revolution_n be_v a_o miracle_n and_o so_o it_o be_v but_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n that_o we_o do_v not_o do_v it_o without_o foreign_a help_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o miracle_n if_o we_o have_v and_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v not_o forget_v the_o state_n of_o england_n at_o that_o time_n to_o be_v judge_n of_o it_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o

a_o miracle_n they_o do_v now_o recover_v themselves_o without_o other_o help_n than_o ridiculus_fw-la mus_fw-la the_o dreadful_a spectrum_n of_o a_o stand_a army_n be_v lose_v and_o all_o our_o

for_o the_o french_a power_n without_o the_o help_n of_o confederate_n i_o be_o no_o traitor_n to_o my_o country_n as_o he_o be_v please_v to_o call_v i_o if_o i_o own_o that_o our_o militia_n be_v
