be_v strain_v a_o text_n a_o trade_n without_o reflection_n which_o our_o adversary_n be_v very_o ready_a at_o but_o which_o be_v more_o useful_a for_o they_o in_o their_o socinian_n principle_n

it_o that_o a_o fleet_n be_v no_o security_n to_o we_o as_o if_o his_o majesty_n or_o his_o minister_n shall_v order_n our_o fleet_n to_o do_v nothing_o considerable_a and_o spend_v six_o or_o seven_o year_n and_o as_o many_o million_o of_o money_n only_o to_o be_v able_a to_o say_v to_o the_o parliament_n that_o a_o fleet_n be_v no_o security_n to_o we_o this_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n that_o i_o

any_o king_n before_o he_o ever_o do_v whether_o he_o have_v not_o build_v more_o ship_n and_o by_o his_o own_o fancy_n peculiar_a in_o that_o way_n better_a ship_n than_o any_o of_o his_o

they_o why_o so_o many_o bounty_n give_v to_o the_o seaman_n and_o such_o vast_a store_n lay_v in_o to_o increase_v and_o continue_v they_o but_o must_v we_o not_o distinguish_v thing_n our_o

whether_o so_o or_o no_o that_o both_o the_o fleet_n and_o our_o militia_n which_o they_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o be_v as_o great_a a_o security_n at_o home_n as_o they_o can_v desire_v but_o it_o be_v

this_o war_n at_o a_o unusual_a rate_n these_o argument_n may_v be_v enlarge_v even_o to_o a_o twelve-penny_n book_n like_o the_o author_n if_o the_o printer_n desire_v it_o but_o short_a as_o they_o

of_o a_o war_n by_o bring_v soldier_n from_o final_a not_o let_v we_o know_v if_o we_o do_v not_o inquire_v that_o those_o force_n must_v sail_v by_o thoulon_n and_o that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o

this_o case_n why_o say_v our_o gentleman_n we_o may_v aid_v they_o with_o mony_n so_o do_v king_n james_n the_o first_o after_o a_o most_o wretched_a manner_n though_o his_o own_o daughter_n be_v

at_o all_o england_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o several_a capacity_n though_o these_o gentleman_n seem_v to_o confine_v themselves_o to_o england_n within_o itself_o england_n be_v at_o this_o

i_o can_v tell_v these_o gentleman_n that_o while_o they_o will_v disarm_v we_o to_o protect_v our_o liberty_n they_o strike_v a_o fatal_a stroke_n at_o our_o religion_n which_o i_o confess_v i_o

a_o kingdom_n and_o to_o raise_v it_o up_o to_o a_o magnitude_n they_o have_v go_v into_o ireland_n and_o scotland_n and_o rake_v into_o the_o settlement_n of_o those_o kingdom_n to_o muster_v up_o a_o great_a army_n though_o after_o all_o their_o calculation_n be_v wrong_a almost_o a_o three_o part_n in_o short_a they_o have_v reckon_v up_o small_a and_o great_a to_o make_v up_o the_o number_n to_o which_o it_o be_v conveninient_a to_o reply_v first_o what_o force_n be_v maintain_v in_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o both_o the_o parliament_n of_o those_o kingdom_n have_v concur_v and_o find_v it_o necessary_a though_o these_o gentleman_n think_v otherwise_o second_o if_o the_o king_n do_v see_v it_o proper_a to_o have_v some_o force_n ready_a on_o such_o occasion_n as_o we_o have_v discourse_v but_o to_o ease_v we_o of_o our_o jealousy_n and_o fear_n keep_v they_o in_o other_o kingdom_n and_o with_o consent_n of_o those_o kingdom_n be_v

two_o thousand_o man_n there_o rout_v they_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o man_n to_o judge_v what_o can_v the_o militia_n have_v do_v to_o he_o now_o i_o will_v suppose_v the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n have_v be_v a_o french_a man_n or_o any_o thing_n he_o have_v time_n to_o land_n and_o invade_v we_o and_o unlade_v his_o arm_n and_o may_v have_v send_v his_o ship_n away_o again_o and_o never_o

by_o much_o again_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n land_a his_o whole_a army_n quick_o notwithstanding_o a_o fleet_n and_o have_v leisure_n enough_o to_o have_v send_v away_o all_o his_o ship_n again_o so_o that'tis_o a_o mistake_n to_o say_v we_o can_v be_v invade_v if_o we_o have_v a_o fleet_n for_o we_o have_v be_v invade_v though_o we_o have_v have_v a_o good_a fleet_n and_o demonstration_n be_v beyond_o argument_n and_o i_o will_v undertake_v without_o vanity_n to_o invade_v england_n from_o any_o part_n beyond_o sea_n without_o any_o fear_n of_o the_o fleet_n unless_o you_o will_v have_v a_o fleet_n able_a to_o block_n up_o your_o neighbour_n port_n and_o when_o you_o hear_v of_o any_o ship_n fit_v out_o any_o where_o send_v and_o forbid_v they_o as_o queen_n elizabeth_z do_v to_o

40000_o of_o the_o best_a militia_n we_o have_v back_v with_o no_o discipline_v troop_n will_v not_o fight_v 8000_o old_a soldier_n the_o instance_n of_o the_o iniskilling_a man_n in_o ireland_n will_v not_o bear_v here_o for_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n they_o be_v man_n make_v desperate_a by_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o family_n and_o estate_n and_o exasperate_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o have_v no_o recourse_n for_o their_o life_n but_o to_o their_o arm_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o irish_a be_v the_o most_o despicable_a scandalous_a fellow_n the_o world_n ever_o see_v
