the_o public_a god_n grant_v this_o be_v not_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o nation_n i_o know_v well_o it_o be_v all_o one_o for_o let_v a_o stand_a army_n be_v what_o it_o will_v still_o we_o must_v

though_o we_o be_v then_o in_o war_n both_o with_o france_n and_o spain_n the_o word_n be_v these_o and_o the_o dangerous_a distaste_n to_o the_o people_n be_v not_o a_o little_a improve_v by_o the_o

hundred_o thousand_o man_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o all_o those_o without_o ten_o or_o fifteen_o thousand_o discipline_v troop_n i_o think_v the_o author_n of_o the_o

improbability_n the_o french_a king_n shall_v engage_v in_o such_o a_o design_n and_o much_o great_a he_o shall_v succeed_v in_o it_o but_o that_o we_o may_v for_o ever_o lay_v this_o goblin_n we_o will_v admit_v our_o fleet_n to_o be_v kidnap_v by_o a_o unlucky_a wind_n whilst_o the_o french_a land_n twenty_o thousand_o man_n in_o our_o country_n though_o in_o gratitude_n for_o this_o concession_n i_o hope_v my_o adversary_n will_v grant_v that_o their_o fleet_n can_v get_v back_o again_o without_o our_o meeting_n with_o they_o since_o the_o same_o wind_n that_o carry_v they_o home_o will_v carry_v we_o out_o or_o if_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o good-natured_a as_o to_o allow_v this_o i_o will_v undertake_v for_o they_o for_o we_o live_v in_o a_o undertake_n age_n that_o they_o will_v agree_v we_o shall_v intercept_v their_o supply_n then_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o that_o twenty_o thousand_o man_n of_o which_o few_o can_v be_v horse_n be_v land_v in_o england_n without_o any_o humane_a probability_n of_o be_v supply_v from_o abroad_o i_o say_v this_o army_n shall_v never_o march_v twenty_o mile_n into_o the_o country_n for_o they_o can_v put_v themselves_o in_o a_o march_v posture_n in_o less_o than_o a_o fortnight_n or_o three_o week_n and_o by_o that_o time_n we_o may_v have_v 100000_o militia_n draw_v down_o upon_o they_o whereof_o ten_o thousand_o shall_v be_v horse_n and_o as_o many_o dragoon_n as_o we_o please_v and_o if_o this_o militia_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o drive_v the_o country_n cut_v off_o their_o forager_n and_o straggler_n possess_v themselves_o of_o the_o defilee_n and_o intercept_v provision_n their_o army_n must_v be_v destroy_v in_o a_o small_a time_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o can_v give_v many_o instance_n out_o of_o history_n but_o because_o ancient_a one_o they_o say_v will_v not_o fit_v our_o purpose_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o late_a one_o out_o of_o ireland_n one_a i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v ready_o agree_v there_o be_v ten_o man_n in_o england_n for_o one_o in_o ireland_n two_o that_o king_n william_n have_v more_o english_a and_o scotch_a to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o ireland_n than_o the_o f._n k._n have_v malcontent_n in_o england_n three_o that_o even_o our_o militia_n have_v more_o courage_n than_o irishmen_n and_o yet_o though_o we_o have_v eight_o thousand_o horse_n and_o above_o thirty_o thousand_o foot_n in_o ireland_n and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o country_n in_o our_o possession_n yet_o we_o be_v more_o than_o four_o year_n in_o conquer_a the_o rest_n and_o almost_o a_o miracle_n we_o do_v it_o then_o and_o i_o believe_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v if_o we_o can_v not_o have_v supply_v our_o army_n from_o england_n but_o they_o have_v all_o there_o perish_v such_o be_v the_o advantage_n of_o fight_v upon_o one_o own_o dunghill_n and_o to_o show_v what_o treatment_n the_o french_a be_v like_a to_o meet_v with_o in_o england_n i_o will_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o purbeck_n invasion_n which_o be_v so_o private_a that_o it_o be_v see_v only_o by_o a_o old_a man_n and_o a_o boy_n and_o yet_o though_o the_o country_n think_v the_o government_n against_o they_o we_o have_v above_o forty_o thousand_o volunteer_n in_o arm_n in_o two_o or_o three_o day_n time_n who_o come_v thither_o on_o their_o own_o accord_n to_o give_v they_o the_o meeting_n and_o if_o they_o have_v be_v there_o i_o doubt_v not_o will_v have_v give_v a_o good_a account_n of_o they_o our_o court_n when_o it_o be_v over_o show_v their_o dislike_n of_o it_o and_o question_v the_o sheriff_n of_o dorsetshire_n about_o it_o and_o though_o we_o have_v forget_v it_o yet_o i_o believe_v the_o french_a will_v remember_v purbeck_n for_o it_o show_v the_o true_a spirit_n and_o genius_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n to_o conclude_v the_o whole_a management_n of_o this_o project_n be_v ridiculous_a but_o the_o fatal_a consequence_n of_o it_o require_v deep_a thought_n for_o when_o we_o have_v fool_v ourselves_o into_o the_o bondage_n of_o a_o stand_a army_n how_o shall_v we_o ever_o get_v out_o of_o it_o again_o not_o as_o the_o nation_n free_v themselves_o from_o the_o court_n of_o ward_n we_o can_v buy_v it_o off_o for_o two_o very_a good_a reason_n no_o money_n will_v be_v take_v for_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v nothing_o to_o give_v which_o be_v not_o they_o
