world_n know_v of_o the_o endeavour_n we_o use_v for_o the_o unite_a province_n when_o they_o be_v invade_v in_o a_o most_o unjust_a war_n in_o 1672_o of_o the_o particular_a esteem_n and_o affection_n which_o the_o english_a nation_n have_v ever_o testify_v to_o both_o their_o highness_n and_o therefore_o can_v excuse_v himself_o from_o espouse_v our_o interest_n to_o the_o do_v of_o which_o he_o be_v earnest_o solicit_v by_o a_o great_a many_o lord_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a by_o many_o gentleman_n and_o subject_n of_o all_o rank_n in_o all_o which_o the_o only_a thing_n we_o can_v understand_v be_v the_o succession_n to_o which_o their_o highness_n do_v several_o stand_v i●_n that_o degree_n which_o all_o the_o world_n know_v but_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n in_o the_o world_n who_o can_v understand_v how_o those_o who_o espouse_v the_o interest_n of_o another_o because_o they_o have_v a_o interest_n of_o their_o own_o espouse_v any_o interest_n but_o their_o own_o nor_o can_v his_o highness_n have_v tell_v we_o more_o plain_o that_o he_o come_v for_o himself_o not_o we_o that_o all_o allege_v beside_o be_v only_o for_o fashion-sake_n and_o that_o we_o may_v sink_v or_o swim_v for_o any_o care_n of_o he_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v concern_v himself_o again_o because_o we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v for_o the_o dutch_a when_o they_o be_v unjust_o invade_v no_o body_n can_v understand_v how_o gratitude_n oblige_v they_o to_o invade_v we_o unjust_o themselves_o nor_o how_o the_o particular_a affection_n and_o esteem_n which_o we_o have_v ever_o testify_v to_o their_o highness_n shall_v deserve_v that_o he_o shall_v become_v our_o enemy_n and_o ruin_v we_o for_o our_o pain_n as_o much_o esteem_n and_o affection_n as_o the_o great_a quality_n of_o his_o highness_n be_v like_a to_o meet_v every_o where_o he_o will_v please_v to_o be_v inform_v that_o the_o strong_a band_n of_o we_o be_v his_o alliance_n to_o the_o royal_a

who_o can_v understand_v how_o make_v war_n upon_o we_o be_v espouse_v our_o interest_n our_o religion_n our_o law_n our_o liberty_n and_o property_n our_o interest_n and_o we_o beseech_v his_o

in_o the_o field_n and_o be_v better_o inform_v from_o themselves_o that_o the_o english_a be_v no_o traitor_n and_o will_v take_v care_n to_o wipe_v off_o this_o aspersion_n from_o the_o nation_n alas_o how_o little_a do_v his_o highness_n know_v we_o many_o a_o unwary_a and_o many_o a_o heat_a man_n speak_v treason_n here_o who_o be_v for_o all_o that_o honest_a at_o heart_n and_o will_v make_v it_o well_o appear_v he_o be_v when_o there_o be_v occasion_n but_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o his_o highness_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o go_v over_o to_o england_n and_o carry_v with_o he_o

perhaps_o not_o act_v so_o for_o the_o two_o house_n must_v it_o seem_v prepare_v law_n to_o confirm_v and_o execute_v the_o test_n for_o the_o security_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o protestant_a
