will_v enough_o good_a man_n both_o officer_n and_o soldier_n come_v in_o cheerful_o to_o this_o expedition_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o one_o branch_n of_o the_o expedient_a which_o be_v the_o rai_v of_o men._n i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o other_o branch_n which_o be_v the_o raise_n of_o money_n and_o i_o be_o still_o of_o opinion_n for_o my_o opinion_n have_v be_v make_v know_v already_o that_o a_o excise_n upon_o a_o great_a many_o commodity_n of_o general_a use_n be_v without_o comparison_n the_o best_a way_n of_o raise_v it_o two_o penny_n a_o pair_n upon_o shoe_n will_v raise_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n yearly_a and_o it_o may_v be_v four_o penny_n or_o six_o penny_n if_o this_o seem_v hard_a to_o the_o poor_a they_o may_v wear_v clog_n or_o shoe_n with_o wooden_a sole_n which_o be_v suppose_v duty-free_a and_o this_o may_v save_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sole-leather_n which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o plate_n and_o may_v be_v export_v to_o the_o great_a advantage_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o if_o they_o think_v scorn_v to_o wear_v this_o sort_n of_o shoe_n they_o must_v pay_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o other_o the_o duty_n i_o confess_v will_v lie_v a_o little_a hard_a upon_o the_o shoemaker_n as_o all_o tax_n lie_v hard_a upon_o some_o than_o upon_o other_o but_o to_o make_v they_o some_o amends_o and_o likewise_o to_o raise_v more_o money_n a_o high_a duty_n may_v be_v lay_v upon_o all_o unwrought_a leather_n export_v it_o be_v a_o great_a doubt_n whether_o the_o exportation_n of_o leather_n be_v convenient_a or_o not_o some_o think_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v whole_o prohibit_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o old_a law_n upon_o the_o same_o reason_n with_o that_o of_o wool_n and_o some_o think_v it_o shall_v be_v free_o permit_v as_o by_o our_o new_a law_n it_o be_v but_o the_o middle_a way_n be_v certain_o the_o best_a that_o be_v to_o permit_v it_o under_o a_o high_a duty_n and_o sure_o if_o all_o our_o prohibition_n be_v turn_v into_o duty_n it_o will_v be_v a_o happy_a thing_n i_o name_v no_o other_o commodity_n fit_a for_o a_o excise_n though_o there_o be_v many_o such_o that_o be_v obious_a to_o any_o man_n thought_n and_o a_o few_o of_o they_o will_v raise_v a_o great_a sum_n than_o be_v require_v for_o this_o service_n but_o if_o nothing_o else_o will_v do_v the_o business_n a_o land_n tax_v will_n and_o we_o need_v not_o question_n but_o that_o to_o carry_v on_o a_o descent_n into_o france_n the_o parliament_n will_v cheerful_o grant_v it_o and_o the_o people_n will_v cheerful_o pay_v it_o such_o a_o tax_n as_o we_o pay_v this_o year_n be_v grant_v forthwith_o for_o the_o year_n follow_v will_v give_v a_o present_a credit_n for_o more_o than_o be_v needful_a for_o this_o affair_n and_o to_o bring_v the_o tax_n to_o some_o equality_n and_o to_o ease_v a_o great_a many_o people_n no_o man_n to_o pay_v above_o two_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n the_o abatement_n to_o be_v allow_v by_o commissioner_n in_o the_o county_n upon_o good_a proof_n make_v before_o they_o and_o to_o be_v confirm_v by_o a_o committee_n of_o lord_n and_o commons_o the_o proof_n be_v to_o they_o transmit_v in_o writing_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o whole_a amount_v of_o the_o tax_n will_v be_v about_o a_o million_o the_o pay_n of_o the_o twenty_o thousand_o man_n for_o a_o whole_a year_n reckon_v also_o two_o thousand_o of_o they_o to_o be_v horse_n will_v take_v up_o little_o more_o than_o half_a this_o money_n and_o the_o residue_n will_v defray_v all_o other_o charge_n and_o spare_v thus_o i_o have_v lay_v open_a my_o whole_a project_n which_o if_o it_o be_v pursue_v i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o it_o will_v bring_v great_a advantage_n to_o england_n or_o at_o least_o great_a terror_n and_o confusion_n to_o the_o french_a for_o though_o we_o shall_v fail_v in_o our_o main_a design_n though_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o seize_v any_o port_n or_o have_v do_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o defend_v they_o yet_o the_o very_a attempt_v these_o thing_n in_o several_a place_n in_o one_o place_n to_o day_n and_o a_o hundred_o mile_n off_o the_o day_n follow_v will_v harass_n our_o enemy_n to_o that_o degree_n that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v under_o it_o we_o may_v remember_v that_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o late_a confederate_a war_n the_o dutch_a send_v out_o a_o great_a fleet_n with_o some_o thousand_o of_o landman_n on_o board_n it_o under_z de_fw-fr ruyter_n and_o van_n trump_n these_o past_a through_o the_o english_a channel_n together_o but_o with_o such_o haste_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v run_v the_o gantlope_n they_o never_o so_o much_o as_o once_o stand_v over_o to_o the_o french_a coast_n or_o hardly_o look_v upon_o it_o thereby_o to_o amuse_v and_o alarm_n the_o enemy_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o the_o channel_n mouth_n the_o fleet_n divide_v de_fw-fr ruiter_n with_o the_o great_a part_n sail_v away_o to_o the_o west_n indies_n where_o he_o do_v nothing_o trump_n with_o the_o rest_n fall_v down_o to_o the_o river_n of_o nantes_n near_o which_o he_o seize_v a_o small_a island_n separate_v by_o a_o narrow_a channel_n from_o the_o main_a and_o here_o he_o lay_v quiet_a and_o still_o for_o about_o two_o month_n not_o offer_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n at_o land_n nor_o move_v with_o his_o fleet_n as_o he_o may_v and_o shall_v have_v do_v sometime_o towards_o bourdeaux_n and_o bayonne_n and_o sometime_o towards_o the_o south_n coast_n of_o bretagne_n as_o if_o he_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o give_v the_o french_a as_o little_a disturbance_n as_o he_o can_v but_o however_o disturb_v they_o be_v at_o a_o strange_a rate_n all_o that_o part_n of_o france_n be_v in_o arm_n under_o four_o or_o five_o country_n duke_n with_o as_o much_o distraction_n as_o can_v be_v imagine_v and_o by_o the_o continual_a march_v to_o and_o fro_o of_o so_o many_o thousand_o for_o they_o be_v in_o mighty_a number_n provision_n for_o horse_n and_o man_n upon_o all_o that_o sea_n coast_n be_v almost_o whole_o consume_v and_o devour_v in_o which_o condition_n they_o be_v like_a to_o continue_v all_o summer_n when_o on_o the_o sudden_a and_o for_o some_o cunning_a reason_n i_o be_o yet_o to_o learn_v trump_n take_v his_o man_n on_o board_n and_o set_v sail_n for_o cales_n and_o from_o thence_o round_o to_o catalonia_n where_o he_o land_v his_o man_n again_o who_o be_v now_o reduce_v to_o twelve_o hundred_o to_o join_v the_o spanish_a army_n and_o the_o spaniard_n wonder_v when_o they_o behold_v such_o a_o contemptible_a party_n that_o those_o shall_v be_v the_o man_n that_o have_v make_v so_o great_a a_o noise_n in_o the_o world_n and_o have_v so_o alarm_v and_o turmoil_v the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n but_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v what_o may_v reasonable_o be_v expect_v from_o a_o vigorous_a and_o powerful_a descent_n moreover_o we_o may_v know_v by_o ourselves_o how_o these_o thing_n will_v work_v with_o france_n what_o a_o condition_n have_v england_n be_v in_o last_o year_n if_o tourville_n be_v master_n at_o sea_n have_v have_v land_n force_n on_o board_n he_o and_o have_v use_v they_o to_o his_o most_o advantage_n while_o so_o many_o port_n and_o so_o many_o country_n on_o that_o coast_n lie_v open_a to_o he_o and_o if_o he_o have_v master_v and_o fortify_v any_o of_o our_o port_n what_o thorn_n have_v they_o be_v in_o our_o side_n also_o we_o may_v remember_v how_o easy_o he_o land_v at_o torbay_n have_v see_v what_o good_a may_v come_v by_o pursue_v this_o project_n of_o a_o descent_n upon_o france_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v what_o evil_n may_v come_v in_o case_n it_o be_v not_o pursue_v and_o true_o unless_o something_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v do_v there_o be_v reason_n to_o fear_v we_o shall_v be_v hard_o put_v to_o it_o the_o posture_n of_o of_o our_o affair_n will_v not_o be_v very_o good_a at_o sea_n and_o will_v be_v very_o bad_a at_o land_n at_o sea_n we_o shall_v in_o likelihood_n be_v master_n for_o the_o present_a but_o if_o we_o have_v no_o land_n force_n on_o board_n we_o shall_v make_v no_o use_n considerable_a of_o that_o great_a advantage_n for_o the_o french_a will_v not_o come_v out_o and_o we_o shall_v lie_v still_o and_o do_v nothing_o at_o least_o not_o to_o any_o great_a purpose_n it_o be_v true_a we_o may_v land_n our_o seaman_n upon_o the_o coast_n and_o make_v some_o little_a havoc_n by_o burn_v or_o otherwise_o but_o what_o will_v this_o signify_v and_o when_o our_o ship_n be_v foul_a and_o our_o man_n sickly_a the_o french_a may_v have_v opportunity_n to_o revenge_v our_o foul_a war_n in_o great_a measure_n our_o shore_n be_v bold_a and_o our_o country_n
