delenda_fw-la carthago_n or_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o england_n in_o relation_n to_o france_n and_o holland_n as_o the_o happiness_n of_o our_o situation_n secure_v we_o from_o the_o invasion_n of_o any_o who_o be_v not_o our_o master_n at_o sea_n the_o same_o reason_n make_v it_o altogether_o against_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n to_o seek_v to_o enlarge_v her_o dominion_n by_o conquest_n upon_o the_o continent_n for_o the_o charge_n of_o transport_v beside_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v such_o odds_o as_o she_o can_v never_o wage_v a_o equal_a war._n the_o truth_n of_o this_o will_v appear_v to_o any_o who_o shall_v read_v the_o war_n of_o england_n in_o france_n the_o vast_a expense_n of_o blood_n and_o treasure_n the_o many_o hindrance_n and_o disappointment_n in_o send_v our_o relief_n by_o sea_n and_o after_o the_o most_o prosperous_a success_n the_o little_a effect_n and_o final_a loss_n of_o all_o which_o indeed_o prove_v our_o great_a benefit_n by_o send_v we_o to_o live_v at_o home_o and_o i_o think_v it_o very_o plain_a that_o the_o loss_n of_o calais_n and_o rid_v our_o hand_n of_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o war_n the_o garrison_n we_o have_v in_o france_n be_v exceed_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o england_n we_o call_v they_o bridle_n upon_o france_n but_o they_o prove_v sponge_n to_o we_o and_o drain_v more_o money_n from_o we_o and_o sometime_o man_n than_o if_o employ_v upon_o the_o fleet_n will_v have_v enable_v we_o to_o bridle_n france_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o to_o have_v extend_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o flag_n to_o both_o world_n the_o fleet_n be_v the_o wall_n of_o england_n to_o command_v at_o sea_n not_o to_o make_v conquest_n by_o land_n be_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o england_n and_o the_o same_o reason_n make_v it_o the_o interest_n of_o france_n not_o to_o meddle_v with_o we_o he_o can_v extend_v his_o conquest_n with_o fifty_o time_n less_o expense_n and_o hazard_n upon_o the_o continent_n nor_o do_v he_o desire_v more_o of_o england_n than_o not_o to_o hurt_v he_o according_o we_o find_v that_o france_n have_v always_o endeavour_v to_o live_v well_o with_o england_n and_o indeed_o they_o have_v court_v we_o and_o always_o show_v a_o more_o particular_a kindness_n to_o the_o english_a gentry_n than_o to_o any_o other_o nation_n who_o travel_v thither_o for_o their_o education_n and_o when_o we_o be_v late_o oblige_v to_o declare_v war_n against_o they_o for_o we_o begin_v with_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o injury_n they_o have_v do_v to_o we_o nor_o have_v we_o one_o to_o instance_n and_o by_o the_o issue_n of_o all_o the_o war_n that_o england_n ever_o yet_o have_v against_o france_n it_o plain_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n to_o have_v no_o war_n with_o france_n at_o least_o never_o to_o carry_v our_o arm_n into_o france_n for_o suppose_v the_o best_a the_o utmost_a you_o can_v propose_v even_o to_o conquer_v france_n as_o we_o do_v once_o before_o how_o shall_v we_o keep_v it_o what_o army_n of_o english_a must_v we_o always_o have_v there_o to_o prevent_v their_o rebel_n will_v transplant_n of_o all_o england_n serve_v the_o turn_n sure_o such_o a_o conquest_n will_v drain_v and_o ruin_n england_n as_o the_o indies_n have_v spain_n but_o suppose_v we_o have_v it_o and_o can_v keep_v it_o our_o king_n will_v make_v his_o residence_n in_o france_n and_o england_n will_v become_v a_o province_n like_o flanders_n when_o their_o earl_n come_v to_o be_v king_n of_o spain_n or_o as_o scotland_n be_v now_o to_o england_n which_o be_v wise_o foresee_v by_o hen._n 7._o when_o he_o for_o that_o very_a reason_n marry_v his_o elder_a daughter_n to_o scotland_n and_o his_o young_a to_o france_n think_v it_o much_o more_o the_o advantage_n of_o england_n to_o have_v the_o accession_n to_o scotland_n than_o of_o france_n the_o great_a always_o swallow_v up_o the_o less_o as_o river_n be_v

by_o all_o mean_n to_o let_v alone_o their_o continent_n where_o a_o conquest_n will_v prove_v our_o own_o destruction_n let_v we_o now_o look_v how_o our_o interest_n stand_v as_o to_o holland_n it_o be_v interest_n that_o govern_v kingdom_n nation_n do_v not_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o one_o another_o as_o particular_a person_n do_v for_o their_o beauty_n the_o public_a still_o move_v by_o

they_o their_o continent_n can_v make_v they_o live_v therefore_o whoever_o rival_v their_o trade_n must_v be_v irreconcilable_a to_o they_o nor_o can_v they_o ever_o be_v true_a and_o hearty_a to_o such_o england_n have_v be_v their_o only_a mighty_a rival_n for_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o world_n whence_o that_o wise_a chancellor_n of_o england_n the_o earl_n of_o shaftsbury_n in_o his_o
