A35922	A dialogue betwixt Whig and Tory, aliàs Williamite and Jacobite Wherein the principles and practices of each party are fairly and impartially stated; that thereby mistakes and prejudices may be removed from amongst us, and all those who prefer English liberty, and Protestant religion, to French slavery and popery, may be inform'd how to choose fit and proper instruments for our preservation in these times of danger.	Defoe, Daniel, 1661?-1731, attributed name.; Overton, Benjamin, attributed name.	1693 (1693)	Wing D1361; ESTC R229679	34,923	48

condition_n as_o we_o be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o revolution_n be_v we_o not_o the_o hope_n of_o all_o our_o ally_n and_o the_o terror_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o be_v not_o the_o case_n alter_v with_o we_o i_o fear_v it_o be_v to_o be_v plain_a a_o ministry_n from_o wapping_n can_v not_o have_v make_v worse_a work_n on_o it_o than_o you_o have_v do_v minister_n who_o know_v not_o so_o much_o as_o what_o money_n their_o affair_n will_v require_v but_o ask_v the_o parliament_n too_o little_a and_o manage_v it_o so_o as_o to_o make_v it_o less_o that_o want_n intelligence_n so_o much_o that_o matter_n of_o the_o great_a consequence_n have_v be_v public_a in_o every_o coffee-house_n three_o day_n before_o it_o come_v to_o the_o secretary_n office_n particular_o the_o loss_n of_o

return_v of_o our_o fleet_n for_o want_n of_o provision_n lay_v out_o money_n in_o false_a expedition_n and_o want_v it_o thereby_o in_o true_a necessity_n imperfect_a order_n from_o whence_o

treachery_n from_o the_o top_n to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o ministry_n too_o tedious_a to_o relate_v here_o tory._n and_o do_v you_o think_v the_o government_n will_v be_v better_o serve_v at_o this_o time_n by_o novice_n and_o stranger_n to_o business_n whig_n i_o have_v answer_v you_o that_o before_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v much_o better_o serve_v by_o ignorant_a friend_n than_o

the_o whig_n than_o among_o the_o tory_n and_o that_o experience_n be_v not_o of_o such_o mighty_a consequence_n as_o you_o will_v infer_v will_v appear_v if_o you_o will_v please_v to_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o man_n employ_v in_o public_a affair_n by_o cromwell_n be_v ever_o government_n better_v serve_v than_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o choose_v man_n of_o the_o most_o private_a condition_n and_o one_o will_v have_v think_v most_o unqualify_v for_o public_a business_n tailor_n drayman_n break_a shopkeeper_n raw_a scholar_n and_o some_o few_o of_o the_o middling_a gentry_n but_o be_v careful_a to_o choose_v man_n principled_a against_o the_o government_n of_o king_n charles_n and_o zealous_a for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o government_n then_o on_o foot_n they_o do_v wonder_n support_v

in_o this_o government_n in_o the_o person_n of_o one_o of_o the_o secretary_n of_o scotland_n who_o though_o breed_v in_o a_o very_a private_a way_n have_v show_v himself_o a_o most_o successful_a

to_o the_o present_a government_n without_o experience_n or_o great_a insight_n into_o business_n tory._n i_o must_v grant_v there_o be_v something_o in_o what_o you_o say_v union_n and_o integrity_n

rightful_a will_v incline_v they_o to_o assist_v that_o right_o when_o they_o have_v opportunity_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o point_n of_o your_o charge_n we_o must_v confess_v likewise_o that_o we_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o under_o the_o government_n of_o our_o superior_n as_o you_o be_v nor_o so_o industrious_a in_o support_v each_o other_o private_a and_o particular_a interest_n but_o to_o the_o first_o i_o may_v answer_v that_o fool_n and_o beggar_n be_v more_o easy_o lead_v by_o the_o nose_n than_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o estate_n and_o as_o to_o the_o latter_a i_o must_v put_v

glue_n and_o cement_n than_o virtue_n because_o there_o be_v more_o man_n capable_a of_o the_o former_a than_o of_o the_o latter_a and_o though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o the_o whig_n be_v more_o friendly_a and_o have_v more_o concern_v for_o the_o support_n of_o one_o another_o in_o all_o their_o honest_a pretence_n yet_o god_n forbid_v there_o shall_v ever_o be_v such_o a_o friendship_n and_o partiality_n among_o they_o as_o to_o condemn_v and_o disgrace_v those_o who_o gain_v victory_n because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o their_o party_n and_o to_o support_v and_o defend_v those_o who_o have_v lose_v the_o ship_n trade_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o nation_n because_o they_o be_v their_o creature_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n where_o it_o be_v without_o offence_n to_o justice_n and_o the_o public_a interest_n all_o unanimity_n and_o friendship_n be_v to_o be_v admire_v praise_v and_o pray_v for_o and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v find_v it_o among_o we_o for_o the_o
