universal_a monarchy_n at_o this_o day_n and_o though_o whole_a kingdom_n heretofore_o will_v not_o join_v in_o a_o common_a defence_n whole_a europe_n will_v now_o however_o ambitious_a the_o king_n of_o france_n may_v be_v he_o can_v never_o think_v of_o so_o unwieldy_a a_o project_n in_o which_o he_o must_v not_o only_o encounter_v all_o england_n all_o this_o island_n all_o these_o three_o kingdom_n but_o all_o europe_n too_o i_o come_v in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o k._n of_o france_n to_o attempt_v to_o make_v we_o a_o

king_n of_o france_n tolerable_o understand_v his_o own_o interest_n the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o will_v follow_v it_o where_o he_o find_v it_o and_o now_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o interest_n of_o france_n to_o attempt_v to_o make_v we_o a_o conquest_n the_o unweildiness_n of_o the_o project_n be_v one_o very_o good_a reason_n against_o it_o less_o than_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o his_o best_a man_n can_v make_v we_o a_o conquest_n and_o keep_v we_o so_o and_o he_o must_v only_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o land_n and_o not_o expect_v to_o be_v master_n of_o the_o people_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o whoever_o he_o send_v to_o be_v his_o lieutenant_n here_o will_v be_v under_o great_a temptation_n to_o revolt_v from_o he_o and_o set_v up_o for_o himself_o or_o become_v the_o first_o subject_n of_o these_o kingdom_n which_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o make_v he_o and_o a_o great_a subject_n than_o france_n have_v rather_o than_o not_o get_v rid_v of_o the_o misery_n of_o a_o provincial_n and_o be_v restore_v to_o our_o own_o government_n consider_v how_o much_o danger_n the_o absolute_a power_n of_o france_n will_v run_v by_o a_o too_o free_a intercourse_n with_o the_o few_o survive_v britain_n who_o will_v acquaint_v so_o many_o of_o his_o soldier_n what_o be_v the_o freedom_n of_o our_o land_n consider_v whether_o france_n can_v bear_v such_o a_o evacuation_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v and_o people_n we_o a_o province_n we_o believe_v that_o the_o expulsion_n of_o the_o hugonot_n let_v out_o too_o much_o of_o his_o people_n too_o much_o of_o the_o vital_a blood_n of_o france_n it_o do_v so_o doubtless_o and_o a_o plantation_n of_o our_o island_n will_v endanger_v all_o he_o have_v upon_o the_o continent_n what_o neighbour_n that_o envy_v he_o will_v not_o be_v glad_a to_o see_v he_o make_v such_o a_o experiment_n will_v not_o nick_v the_o lucky_a opportunity_n and_o pull_v back_o all_o those_o town_n and_o province_n which_o he_o may_v now_o much_o more_o easy_o keep_v than_o he_o can_v gain_v we_o will_v any_o peace_n any_o league_n they_o can_v have_v with_o he_o be_v proof_n against_o such_o a_o promise_a temptation_n to_o attempt_v the_o conquest_n of_o these_o kingdom_n will_v indeed_o be_v grasp_a at_o a_o prodigious_a shadow_n but_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o lose_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o real_a substance_n the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v not_o such_o a_o knight-errant_n he_o do_v not_o love_n to_o venture_v over_o much_o he_o like_o julius_n
