A41175	A just and modest vindication of the Scots design, for the having established a colony at Darien with a brief display, how much it is their interest, to apply themselves to trade, and particularly to that which is foreign.

know_v but_o that_o the_o french_a may_v cooperate_v towards_o the_o first_o in_o order_n to_o their_o obtain_n and_o compass_v of_o the_o latter_a which_o will_v be_v as_o mischievous_a if_o not_o
