a_o fatal_a necessity_n i_o think_v his_o excellence_n do_v wrong_a to_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o the_o state_n in_o not_o trust_v their_o affection_n and_o their_o honour_n which_o

soon_o as_o i_o promise_v myself_o you_o have_v be_v inform_v from_o my_o lord_n arlington_n justice_n and_o friendship_n it_o be_v now_o near_o three_o month_n that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o gout_n have_v restrain_v i_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o write_v and_o i_o be_o hardly_o yet_o return_v to_o it_o because_o not_o able_a to_o put_v my_o head_n out_o of_o door_n or_o more_o than_o to_o stand_v rather_o than_o walk_v in_o my_o chamber_n so_o that_o i_o will_v not_o have_v venture_v to_o have_v give_v you_o this_o trouble_v but_o upon_o the_o absence_n of_o my_o lord_n arlington_n who_o have_v transmit_v to_o you_o constant_o what_o we_o think_v joint_o but_o upon_o the_o sight_n of_o your_o last_o letter_n which_o come_v since_o his_o departure_n i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o say_v a_o little_a to_o you_o upon_o a_o particular_a or_o two_o i_o do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n think_v and_o believe_v the_o marquis_n of_o castel-rodrigo_n to_o be_v a_o very_a generous_a person_n and_o a_o very_a useful_a friend_n to_o the_o king_n our_o master_n and_o one_o who_o will_v be_v the_o best_a instrument_n to_o contribute_v to_o that_o firm_a friendship_n between_o the_o two_o crown_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o joint_a interest_n of_o both_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o remove_v the_o least_o umbrage_n which_o may_v dispose_v he_o to_o suspect_v our_o prudence_n with_o reference_n to_o our_o own_o affair_n or_o our_o affection_n with_o reference_n to_o spain_n with_o reference_n to_o ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a we_o can_v be_v without_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o almost_o insupportable_a weight_n that_o lie_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o carry_n on_o the_o war_n against_o the_o dutch_a and_o prepare_v for_o a_o war_n against_o france_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v but_o hearty_o wish_v to_o be_v fair_o quit_v of_o one_o of_o they_o and_o will_v be_v very_o glad_a that_o any_o advance_n be_v make_v to_o it_o by_o holland_n i_o think_v always_o that_o the_o overture_n make_v by_o the_o spanish_a ambassador_n have_v come_v from_o don_n stephano_n and_o never_o hear_v the_o marquis_n of_o castel-rodrigo's_a name_n but_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o term_n that_o the_o french_a ambassador_n have_v make_v there_o can_v then_o be_v no_o proceed_n upon_o it_o but_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v to_o invite_v the_o dutch_a to_o a_o address_n how_o private_o soever_o nor_o shall_v we_o make_v any_o demand_n concern_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n lest_o it_o shall_v do_v he_o hurt_v if_o we_o can_v bring_v they_o off_o from_o a_o conjunction_n with_o france_n in_o which_o spain_n be_v more_o concern_v than_o england_n i_o confident_a we_o shall_v insist_v upon_o very_o reasonable_a condition_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o commend_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o munster_n nor_o be_v we_o jealous_a in_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o he_o or_o his_o treat_v and_o as_o our_o fail_v towards_o he_o have_v not_o proceed_v from_o any_o fault_n of_o we_o but_o even_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o we_o shall_v out_o of_o hand_n repair_v those_o omission_n and_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_o expect_v that_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o empire_n shall_v how_o secret_o soever_o support_v he_o from_o a_o dissolution_n lest_o before_o many_o month_n past_a and_o the_o french_a design_n be_v a_o little_a more_o evident_a they_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o re-purchase_a the_o advantage_n of_o the_o bishop_n be_v in_o such_o a_o post_n as_o he_o now_o be_v at_o any_o price_n there_o be_v nothing_o now_o aught_o to_o be_v labour_v with_o so_o much_o industry_n and_o dexterity_n as_o the_o unite_n enland_n spain_n and_o flanders_n which_o will_v give_v and_o which_o only_o

that_o by_o all_o our_o negotiation_n though_o never_o so_o well_o manage_v by_o all_o our_o office_n and_o caress_n we_o shall_v never_o obtain_v a_o peace_n from_o france_n while_o they_o have_v any_o appearance_n of_o pursue_v their_o interest_n or_o their_o glory_n in_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n and_o that_o the_o only_a way_n of_o dispose_v they_o to_o a_o peace_n be_v to_o order_v it_o so_o as_o they_o may_v only_o find_v their_o interest_n in_o it_o which_o we_o can_v not_o otherwise_o do_v but_o by_o show_v they_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o force_n and_o the_o firmness_n of_o

and_o force_n by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o let_v the_o most_o christian_n king_n know_v by_o our_o minister_n that_o since_o his_o majesty_n still_o declare_v he_o be_v content_a with_o the_o

demand_v so_o necessary_a to_o the_o peace_n of_o christendom_n and_o will_v still_o carry_v on_o his_o arm_n without_o consideration_n of_o the_o offer_v of_o spain_n or_o office_n of_o the_o ally_n that_o upon_o the_o first_o advances_n he_o shall_v make_v to_o attack_v the_o rest_n of_o flanders_n we_o will_v march_v with_o our_o force_n to_o defend_v it_o and_o endeavour_v further_o by_o all_o

by_o write_v insert_v in_o it_o the_o same_o word_n of_o our_o three_o separate_a article_n and_o i_o think_v you_o have_v very_o judicious_o consider_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o promise_n

the_o suspension_n of_o arm_n we_o believe_v we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o complain_v of_o the_o marquis_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o solemn_a promise_n make_v by_o the_o state_n general_n and_o deliver_v to_o don_n estevan_n de_fw-fr gamarra_n in_o their_o resolution_n of_o the_o 5_o of_o this_o month_n he_o have_v delay_v to_o sign_n and_o dispatch_v the_o power_n so_o that_o if_o

of_o arm_n or_o in_o case_n of_o refusal_n england_n and_o this_o state_n will_v already_o act_v in_o earnest_n and_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n for_o spain_n and_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o let_v his_o excellency_n see_v as_o plain_o as_o possible_a that_o if_o now_o after_o the_o sign_v and_o send_v the_o power_n to_o paris_n and_o before_o the_o k._n of_o france_n can_v be_v inform_v of_o it_o he_o shall_v receive_v any_o disgrace_n it_o be_v himself_o he_o ought_v to_o impute_v it_o to_o for_o england_n and_o this_o state_n will_v not_o put_v into_o his_o hand_n the_o power_n of_o involve_v they_o in_o a_o open_a war_n with_o france_n unreasonable_o and_o against_o
during_o the_o spanish_a king_n life_n or_o upon_o his_o death_n as_o there_o will_v do_v in_o lorraine_n after_o this_o old_a duke_n life_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o more_o formidable_a and_o

up_o france_n and_o holland_n against_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n i_o think_v it_o be_v our_o common_a interest_n to_o bear_v up_o spain_n now_o against_o france_n and_o the_o more_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o be_v now_o low_o than_o ever_o the_o other_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o king_n be_v tender_a life_n and_o the_o distraction_n like_v to_o ensue_v his_o death_n if_o their_o affair_n

for_o make_v in_o that_o case_n the_o league_n single_a be_v because_o we_o may_v thereby_o reap_v alone_o all_o the_o advantage_n which_o spain_n will_v be_v able_a to_o give_v for_o their_o defence_n which_o will_v be_v great_a as_o low_a as_o they_o be_v not_o only_o in_o point_n of_o trade_n by_o their_o wool_n and_o logwood_n but_o by_o great_a pension_n in_o yearly_a quantity_n of_o

without_o press_v too_o much_o the_o subject_a at_o home_n or_o need_v they_o at_o every_o turn_v i_o know_v nothing_o be_v more_o glorious_a nor_o perhaps_o more_o safe_a and_o advantageous_a for_o we_o than_o to_o be_v in_o action_n abroad_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v in_o conjunction_n of_o three_o against_o one_o and_o not_o as_o we_o be_v late_o one_o against_o three_o this_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o that_o the_o spaniard_n will_v give_v more_o for_o our_o defensive_a league_n than_o for_o all_o other_o will_v not_o much_o care_n for_o any_o other_o so_o they_o may_v have_v we_o and_o in_o short_a will_v give_v for_o it_o whatever_o they_o be_v able_a but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o we_o be_v able_a to_o take_v so_o vigorous_a a_o council_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o therefore_o the_o next_o will_v be_v to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v so_o to_o enter_v into_o their_o defence_n joint_o with_o sueden_n which_o will_v either_o awe_n the_o french_a into_o a_o continuance_n of_o the_o peace_n or_o else_o without_o doubt_n make_v the_o party_n strong_a enough_o for_o the_o war_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v be_v content_a to_o share_v with_o sueden_n whatever_o spain_n can_v any_o way_n give_v for_o the_o purchase_n of_o their_o defence_n and_o where_o our_o gain_n be_v less_o the_o consideration_n will_v be_v more_o of_o what_o we_o may_v lose_v or_o the_o dutch_a gain_n in_o trade_n if_o a_o war_n shall_v break_v out_o and_o last_v for_o there_o will_v be_v no_o other_o reflection_n since_o the_o suede_n i_o believe_v will_v enter_v into_o the_o league_n upon_o such_o term_n as_o spain_n can_v make_v they_o and_o the_o dutch_a will_v ask_v nothing_o better_a than_o to_o see_v we_o all_o in_o war_n and_o themselves_o in_o peace_n without_o danger_n of_o the_o war_n end_v in_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o french_a power_n the_o three_o way_n be_v enter_v into_o a_o defensive_a league_n with_o spain_n sueden_n and_o holland_n for_o in_o all_o case_n i_o suppose_v we_o may_v reckon_v upon_o the_o emperor_n as_o far_o as_o that_o will_v signify_v this_o i_o think_v be_v certain_o to_o be_v desire_v in_o what_o case_n soever_o we_o may_v be_v

than_o i_o have_v do_v already_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v order_v i_o to_o give_v the_o guaranty_n in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o other_o confederate_n upon_o payment_n of_o two_o hundred_o
