this_o thence_o man_n money_n and_o arm_n must_v come_v this_o be_v so_o certain_a that_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v any_o man_n in_o the_o nation_n so_o bereave_v of_o sense_n as_o to_o expect_v it_o any_o other_o way_n and_o now_o what_o a_o train_n of_o misery_n this_o dragons-tail_n draw_v after_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a either_o to_o be_v think_v or_o express_v if_o ever_o such_o a_o dismal_a

under_o heaven_n be_v expose_v to_o a_o more_o barbarous_a desolation_n than_o this_o poor_a nation_n must_v be_v upon_o such_o a_o unhappy_a change._n how_o have_v the_o french_a king_n use_v his_o

this_o be_v a_o great_a misery_n that_o upon_o such_o a_o change_n the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v most_o likely_a to_o devolve_v not_o from_o king_n william_n to_o king_n james_n but_o from_o

can_v hear_v yet_o of_o any_o prince_n restore_v by_o he_o can_v it_o possible_o enter_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o any_o reasonable_a man_n that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n will_v employ_v his_o force_n by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o spend_v his_o treasure_n in_o conquer_a of_o these_o kingdom_n and_o then_o quiet_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o another_o to_o possess_v who_o himself_o labour_v so_o deep_o of_o the_o dropsy_n of_o enlarge_a his_o dominion_n that_o neither_o faith_n of_o treaty_n law_n of_o nation_n oath_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o sense_n of_o common_a equity_n and_o justice_n can_v ever_o yet_o bind_v he_o from_o make_v the_o most_o unjust_a encroachment_n upon_o his_o neighbour_n wherever_o he_o can_v and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v consider_v because_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o popish_a clergy_n of_o england_n will_v be_v willing_a enough_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o king_n lewis_n be_v more_o able_a to_o maintain_v his_o conquest_n
