whitelock_n answer_v that_o great_a advantage_n will_v be_v to_o we_o than_o to_o they_o at_o present_a but_o that_o we_o can_v not_o carry_v good_n to_o their_o enemy_n poland_n now_o have_v no_o

but_o he_o do_v observe_v on_o the_o sudden_a among_o other_o thing_n that_o the_o specification_n of_o contrebanda_n good_n do_v contain_v in_o it_o pitch_n and_o tar_n hemp_n flax_n and_o sail_n

reasonable_a to_o hinder_v he_o from_o those_o supply_n as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v and_o that_o in_o case_n the_o king_n of_o sweden_n shall_v have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o the_o emperor_n
