a_o war_n so_o necessary_a in_o this_o present_a juncture_n of_o our_o affair_n our_o all_o lie_n now_o at_o the_o stake_n our_o life_n property_n liberty_n and_o religion_n shall_v any_o tax_n or_o impost_n put_v we_o out_o of_o humour_n and_o cause_v we_o to_o wish_v for_o a_o change_n as_o if_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o any_o security_n in_o case_n thing_n be_v settle_v again_o upon_o the_o same_o foundation_n they_o be_v on_o before_o vii_o be_v we_o not_o sufficient_o acquaint_v from_o daily_a experience_n with_o this_o undoubted_a popish_a principle_n that_o a_o papist_n be_v oblige_v to_o break_v his_o oath_n take_v not_o to_o extirpate_v heresy_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o root_v out_o what_o he_o think_v heresy_n under_o a_o no_o less_o pain_n than_o that_o of_o eternal_a damnation_n king_n lewis_n have_v satisfy_v all_o the_o world_n by_o what_o he_o have_v late_o do_v that_o this_o be_v no_o calumny_n and_o king_n james_n clear_v all_o our_o doubt_n upon_o the_o matter_n by_o what_o he_o likewise_o real_o do_v and_o endeavour_v to_o do_v viii_o but_o a_o late_a seditious_a pamphlet_n tell_v we_o a_o tragical_a story_n of_o the_o decay_n and_o loss_n of_o trade_n by_o this_o present_a war_n that_o the_o dutch_a run_v away_o with_o our_o trade_n at_o sea_n and_o the_o french_a with_o our_o ship_n this_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a groundless_a flourish_n that_o can_v only_o make_v impression_n upon_o some_o weak_a mind_n that_o neither_o understand_v their_o own_o interest_n nor_o that_o of_o the_o nation_n they_o be_v in_o it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v lose_v several_a ship_n and_o that_o be_v unavoidable_a in_o the_o begin_n of_o any_o war_n as_o well_o as_o in_o this_o till_o the_o merchantman_n bind_v homeward_o be_v inform_v of_o a_o war_n declare_v which_o must_v needs_o require_v some_o time_n but_o of_o late_o we_o have_v lose_v none_o or_o we_o have_v take_v the_o equivalent_a of_o our_o loss_n from_o the_o enemy_n and_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v his_o majesty_n have_v take_v such_o measure_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v hereafter_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o french_a to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o our_o trade_n either_o into_o holland_n spain_n the_o east_n country_n or_o west_n and_o east_n indies_n and_o as_o for_o the_o dutch_a it_o be_v a_o groundless_a supposition_n though_o too_o often_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o such_o as_o be_v disaffect_v to_o the_o government_n that_o they_o run_v away_o with_o our_o trade_n since_o the_o contrary_n may_v be_v easy_o make_v out_o to_o a_o unprejudiced_a mind_n do_v we_o not_o trade_n still_o as_o well_o as_o the_o dutch_a both_o to_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n to_o sweedland_n denmark_n hamburgh_n and_o poland_n do_v the_o french_a allow_v they_o free_a passage_n more_o than_o to_o we_o and_o if_o they_o send_v abroad_o great_a merchant_n fleet_n and_o perhaps_o under_o great_a convoy_n than_o we_o do_v by_o so_o do_v they_o rather_o lend_v we_o a_o help_a hand_n than_o wrong_v we_o because_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o clear_v the_o sea_n of_o french_a privateer_n which_o make_v of_o course_n our_o voyage_n the_o safe_a and_o great_a convoy_n not_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a as_o they_o will_v be_v at_o another_o time_n when_o we_o be_v not_o in_o union_n with_o the_o dutch_a so_o that_o such_o reflection_n be_v either_o but_o idle_a and_o frothy_a discourse_n or_o make_v upon_o a_o design_n to_o raise_v sedition_n and_o stir_v up_o the_o nation_n against_o the_o present_a government_n but_o grant_v that_o what_o this_o disaffect_v pamphleteer_n say_v be_v real_o true_a as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o full_a measure_n he_o will_v have_v it_o let_v we_o balance_v our_o present_a decay_n of_o trade_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o consequence_n of_o not_o prosecute_n vigorous_o the_o present_a war_n against_o the_o french_a and_o we_o shall_v easy_o discover_v either_o the_o gross_a mistake_n of_o such_o as_o discourse_v after_o this_o rate_n or_o their_o real_a design_n to_o ruin_v their_o country_n by_o prefer_v a_o small_a inconveniency_n of_o not_o so_o full_a a_o trade_n to_o the_o very_o be_v of_o liberty_n and_o religion_n and_o perhaps_o of_o the_o nation_n itself_o ix_o for_o let_v we_o allow_v to_o this_o pretend_a politician_n the_o desire_a change_n of_o government_n he_o seem_v to_o aim_v at_o this_o can_v never_o happen_v but_o in_o one_o of_o these_o three_o way_n either_o by_o the_o return_v of_o king_n james_n again_o or_o by_o the_o invasion_n of_o king_n lewis_n or_o by_o a_o civil_a war_n at_o home_n which_o last_o thing_n if_o some_o do_v real_o intend_v they_o design_v nothing_o else_o but_o their_o own_o ruin_n and_o that_o of_o their_o country_n and_o if_o they_o will_v have_v king_n james_n to_o come_v again_o must_v he_o come_v in_o by_o conquest_n if_o he_o ever_o recover_v england_n by_o conquest_n where_o be_v then_o our_o property_n our_o liberty_n our_o religion_n our_o law_n and_o whatever_o privilege_n we_o now_o glory_v in_o and_o that_o no_o other_o subject_n in_o the_o world_n can_v boast_v of_o will_v they_o have_v king_n james_n come_v in_o again_o by_o agreement_n beside_o the_o apparent_a impossibility_n of_o the_o thing_n upon_o several_a and_o obvious_a account_n i_o will_v willing_o be_v satisfy_v as_o i_o be_v say_v before_o how_o we_o can_v trust_v he_o after_o so_o many_o violation_n of_o his_o word_n and_o since_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o his_o religion_n he_o be_v oblige_v in_o conscience_n not_o to_o keep_v either_o word_n give_v or_o oath_n take_v to_o protect_v and_o promote_v heresy_n if_o he_o be_v once_o in_o power_n to_o destroy_v it_o if_o our_o pamphleteer_n pretend_v to_o a_o change_n of_o government_n by_o a_o french_a invasion_n he_o must_v either_o be_v a_o profess_a french_a papist_n or_o a_o very_a bad_a english_a protestant_n and_o quite_o of_o a_o different_a temper_n from_o all_o true_a englishman_n who_o have_v stand_v in_o opposition_n from_o all_o time_n to_o the_o french_a interest_n not_o only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n but_o likewise_o because_o of_o their_o civil_a right_n which_o both_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n part_n with_o if_o the_o french_a ever_o get_v foot_v in_o england_n x._o i_o confess_v as_o thing_n now_o stand_v there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o danger_n at_o all_o of_o their_o attempt_v the_o conquest_n of_o their_o ancient_a conqueror_n the_o english_a because_o of_o our_o union_n at_o present_a against_o france_n with_o so_o many_o powerful_a ally_n but_o yet_o if_o we_o take_v not_o hold_v of_o this_o opportunity_n by_o the_o fore-look_a i_o know_v not_o what_o may_v happen_v in_o another_o scene_n of_o affair_n in_o case_n we_o be_v lest_o alone_o to_o deal_v with_o the_o french_a who_o by_o the_o connivance_n of_o the_o last_o two_o reign_n be_v become_v so_o formidable_a at_o sea_n as_o to_o be_v a_o match_n either_o for_o we_o or_o the_o hollander_n now_o can_v any_o man_n of_o reach_n blame_v the_o king_n for_o recommend_v so_o often_o to_o the_o late_a parliament_n the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o prosecute_a vigorous_o the_o present_a war_n in_o this_o present_a juncture_n of_o our_o affair_n or_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o representative_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o supply_v he_o with_o the_o necessary_a sinew_n of_o war_n especial_o since_o he_o have_v offer_v to_o give_v they_o a_o account_n of_o the_o disposal_n of_o their_o money_n for_o the_o very_a use_n they_o design_v it_o for_o neither_o can_v we_o be_v jealous_a of_o his_o majesty_n design_n in_o call_v in_o foreigner_n in_o order_n to_o the_o speedy_a reduction_n of_o ireland_n because_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a consequence_n for_o the_o humble_v of_o france_n both_o by_o sea_n and_o by_o land_n together_o with_o our_o ally_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o our_o domestic_a broil_n with_o all_o possible_a expedition_n and_o this_o can_v be_v better_a perform_v than_o by_o join_v to_o our_o own_o force_n a_o body_n of_o
